I would rather take a one season points hit if it meant keeping all our star players. Although I imagine if City win their case FFP will instantly become irrelevant.

Heck said in one of his recent interviews that Villa currently had 300 million fans.

Whether anyone believes him or not is a different question.

 

 

That’ll be the updated season ticket waiting list figure soon.

This is top notch work. A rather expensive way of getting Coutinho off the books, but excellent.

5 years ago we were hours away from going out of business, today we qualify for the worlds top competition. 
As a young lad I saw us winning in 94 and 96, but this just feels like a bigger achievement given the environment. I am so grateful for all the players and Emery.  

Shaun Goater, great player. Hope he scores a few tonight.

He’s a successful signing, he’s only going to get better too.

Great result for us today. Keeps the city minds focussed, not that we hopefully need that result.

Oh no, how awful. Anyway

These are not on Lille’s level. If we are focussed I would like to see us do these away tonight. 3-0

I think I’d swap Gidman and Ashley Young (just) over the current selections above. But I genuinely think this is the best squad of players we have ever had at the moment.

Huge win today. If Arsenal do their job next week, and we get something against Chelsea…

Today will be a sliding doors moment for us this season, win and it’s a huge step to 4th. Lose and let spurs in with a chance. Either way, the lads deserve some  praise. They’ve been superb.

I can see Dortmund and Bayern not winning either game in the semis, but I cannot see Leverkusen not getting through. Shame we won’t see Angeball in the CL next season.

My god we’ve been bad. I don’t even think Lille have played that well.

Emery masterclass talk coming up. We’ll win this 1-3

This feels like the Sheff Utd game the week after we beat city and arsenal.

Didn’t want Spurs in the CL anyway.

Villa win the next two and Spuds are done I think...

Beating Bournemouth would really put pressure on Spurs - but I guess the danger is taking that for granted after today’s performance. Brentford could be the best thing that happened to us.

Lost for words on this man. His work with us just highlights the ridiculous abuse for what it was when he was at Arsenal. The best manager we have had in the Premier League era, and perhaps for a long time before that also.

Think we've secured 6th now guys

Careful now.

That probably rules Bournemouth out of the race. Phew.

Bournemouth clearly going to catch us for Champions league.
