The FA Cup is usually a rollercoaster of emotions . Fittingly , the famous trophy was taken on looping ride at Alton Towers . It was accompanied by an Arsenal and a Reading fan ahead of the pair 's semi-final at Wembley on Saturday . A few years ago I went to see my first football match in London since leaving school Liverpool and Aston Villa will contest the other semi-final on Sunday .
