With the big Wembley build up for the FA Cup Final against Arsenal, Hercs is back with the first of a two part dressing room insight…
—–
*We join the lads gearing up for their FA Cup Final clash. Gabby enters, the team stare at him with confusion.*
Gabby: Wem-ber-ley! Wem-ber-ley! We’re the famous Aston Villa and we’re going to Wembley!… Can’t wait to meet Rafa he’s one of my sporting heroes and Andy Murray, bit miserable but….
Delph: Gabby, what’re you talking about?
Gabby: Wembley Fabz, it’s going to be awesome, strawberries, cream…
Gil {*whispering*}: {This is Wimbledon you speak of Gabriel, not ‘The Wembley’}
Gabby: Pardon?
Gil: {You speak of Wimbledon}
Gabby: Come again Carles?
Vlaar: Vlaar Vlaaaaaaar Vlaaaaaaar!!!
Gabby: Wimbledon!? Nah that’s the ‘Crazy Gang’ Ron, you know, Robbie Earle, John Fashanu, I’m betting they’re crap at tennis.
Delph: Gabby we’re not going to watch tennis, we’re playing the FA Cup final. At Wembley. Again. Where we just beat Liverpool?
Gabby: Nah… But…. Crap!
*Gabby drops his racquet, removes his John McEnroe wig and head band and tosses them aside with disappointment*
Delph: Tennis isn’t even a sport it’s not a sport if you can’t get close enough to your opponent to see the light leave their eyes and hear the bones snap and sinew tear and…. you OK guys?
*A rather pale green Baker and Clark raise their shakily raise their thumbs*
