  1. It must be so frustrating as a player to miss an entire season of football. They have fairly short careers so it is a big chunk of time lost.
  2. Perhaps they genuinely thought the higher placed sides in the weaker leagues would progress more to the final than so far Italian, , English and Dutch sides. Or they want to clearly distinguish it from the Europa by picking smaller venues. But as a minimum it should be 40-50 K, with maybe Europa at 50-60 and CL finals 70 plus.
  3. Fair play to the club with the pricing, under 30 quid for European semi final. I fully expect this sort of pricing when we play in the Champions League next season.....
  4. Haven't they already done that, in next year's final is in a 40k stadium? The first one was in Tirana with a ridiculous capacity of twenty odd thousand when they ended up with Roma and Feyenoord playing.
  5. It looks almost the same as the current one with one minor improvement we actually have our name again on our most important bit of branding. Other than that deeply meh after 2 years of fannying around, and does not solve the issue of too much blue when in fact our main colour is claret. I have seen loas of fan mock ups which have looked far more interesting. And now bad is our comms, again?
  6. Wow looks a great buy. I have to be honest I didn't think he looked amazing when we played Boro in the cup but that is why I am a fan and not a scout. Oozes class, seems to always have time on the ball, and his awareness is fantastic. Could be some player.
  7. After a slow start dominated the game and fully deserved the win. Rogers was class and Watkins did everything but score. We looked more open day and conceded more shots than I would like but that is down without Luiz playing. Sun was out,, 3 class goals, 6 points clear in 4th and a European semi final to look forward. What a time to be a Villa fan.
  8. Personally, I think its outrageous the Premier League is making us play on Sunday. They surely could have moved it to Monday night. They are all out to get us.
  9. On paper that is a better result. They are 4th in the greek league and have lost 7 times this season. Fenerbache are 2nd in the Turkish league and have lost once. I thought they would win comfortably over two games.
  10. Unbelievably snidey write up in the Guardian. Like gameship hasn;t been in the game since it was invented. Look at Grobbelaar all those years ago. So will Martinez be out for the first leg now? Anyway who cares, we can take everyone on. Lets be avin you.
  11. It's a stronger league. Greek sides are notoriously bad travellers but the away game could still be a bit spicy. For some reason I have a feeling Bruges could beat Fiorentina. Those two sides had much easier quarter-final ties than us.
  12. Olympiakos in the semi final, and if possible Bruges in the final.
  13. Sorry I had to change my trousers. Well we got the job down just about. Lille are a good side but I won't miss their endless moaning. Villa, in a European cup semi final. Somebody pinch me.
  14. All I have to say is come on the Villa, bring it on.
  15. 4th and European glory. That is all I am asking for, I am not picky.
  16. Typical, you can never rely on anyone to give us a favour. Arenal have had a shocking week.
  17. AVFC interviewer- ' So Chris you have some exciting news for our fans on season tickets'' Heck ' Yes they are going up by 20% with no match-day improvements. C**ksuckers.'
  18. It is utterly feeble that Fulham, Brentford and now Bourenmouth can't even shift the normal away allocation. I think all 3 games have been 3pm kick-offs and not even televised. Though at least it gives the chance for more tickets for home fans. I presume the club is selling this at the usual ticket price and not the reduced £30 away allocation fee?
  19. I'd rather it be 28 years thank you very much.
  20. Liechtenstein and Uzbekistan are the only “doubly landlocked” countries , as in all of their neighbouring countries are also landlocked.
  21. It is sadly more important in terms of money but as Danny Blanchflower once said the game should be about the glory. And it would be glorious to see Villa lift a trophy on a hot Athens night in late May.
