League Cup Semi Final, Aston Villa v Blackburn Rovers

Had a good week last week, went to my first football match of the season, and what a game it was. Went to the League Cup semi final between Aston Villa and Blackburn Rovers. Villa were 2-0 down in the first 20ish minutes, I thought that was it and we were going to get knocked out. Thankfully due to a poor refereeing decision Villa were let back in to the game and then a definite penalty put us back in front of the tie. I don't think anyone could have predicted the final scoreline of 6-4 to Villa which surely means it goes down as one of the greatest semi-finals in Football history.
The fans reaction at the end showed just how much this competition means to people and that it isn't the Mickey Mouse Cup that some people tout it as. The sad thing is that according to some sources that Aston Villa Football Club will be fined for not controlling their fans in the post match "Friendly" pitch invasion. Have the powers that be got nothing better to do?

After the euphoria had died down the realisation that because I gave my Season Ticket up due to financial difficulties, that the only probable way of getting a ticket for the final would be to pay Ticket Tout or pay £300+ to a Ticket Agency. Neither of these options are acceptable as I am very loathe to give my hard earned money to these leeches.

For once in my life I actually want Manchester United to win their semi final against Manchester City as I feel they have bigger fish to fry and do not take the competition seriously, making them the "easier" opponents, we will find out who we play on Wednesday night.
