    Just wait for United to get Coventry. It's nailed on. They would want another Manchester final.

    Seemed to have come round quickly, I don't think I have recovered fully from Ajax yet. Better put a reminder on my phone to get a ticket.

    Lads its Tottenham

    I don't think Eddie Howe is that safe at Newcastle. 8th may get europe but I think they may struggle to get even that. Potter maybe in the summer?

    Bonkers game. Cov deserved it. O'Hare setting up the winner.

    Only if the conference league does a league cup in its first year by having the final in September the following season.
  7. The Fun Factory
    The game and tie was over and we all wanted to get home.

    I don't think there is a huge difference in quality between the conference and europa league, certainly for the group winners. As shown that ultimately only one side dropping down in the Europa league has reached the quarters.

    Would have preferred the home tie in the second leg but it's an ok draw.
  10. The Fun Factory
    That was a quick booking

    Sorry just felt a bit of sick down my throat.

    Mark Noble looked a bulldog chewing a wasp after that draw.

    I have only realised that next season all uefa competitions are moving to this stupid 8 game first round so will be just as many games in the Europa. A lot of games to manage through.

    The earliest it will be is late October (Halloween would be funny). There is no way these Tory MP'S are going to waste their last summer recess jollys campaigning for a doomed landside defeat. Gives them more time to find a new job.

    Lille ground is surprisingly large, bigger than PSG I would guess with only Marseille and Lyon larger?

    I just watched a few things online on Fratton Park, Portsmouth home ground. They are doing some incremental work on the ground and have pushed capacity up by a couple of thousands by re-profiling seats and squeezing in a few more, and at about 10-20 million cost. It is fairly low wattage compared to the sweeping grand plans first announced but I wouldn't be surprised if we tried to do something similar at parts of Villa Park to add this extra 2.5 K capacity that has been mentioned.

    I think Fenerbache would be the hardest trip in terms of distance traveled, quality of opposition, and intimidating away leg. But even wth that if we play like we can do we should go through.

    So I make that 7 out of the 8 group winners ultimately going through to the quarters with only Tel Aviv going out after letting a 4-1 first-leg away lead slip. So that shows that the conference league has a reasonable depth to it. It is also the most diverse competition with 7 countries left in the draw, with half of the sides from Eastern Europe, if you include Greece and Turkey in that definition. Compared to the money-making behemoth that is the Champions League which only has 4 countries represented left, and there are 5 within the Europa League all of which are Western European countries. So the competition is doing what it is set out to do.

    Ahem to that. Plzen or Brugge please.

    Looked decent tonight, though Ajax nowadays perhaps more of a championship type opposition he is used to? Interesting to see him play more in a central role behind Watkins. Did a few decent through balls and I thought the yellow was harsh. A good learning experience for him.

    Bonkers player. Put in a better peformance than the last time I saw him live for more than the usual 5 min run out against Boro away.
  22. The Fun Factory
    A memorable night. In reality it is a poor Ajax side but we did the business and kept our foot down and not switch off. Henderson is a plonker and hopefully Ollie's injury isn't too bad. Quarter finals of a European competition and still in the race for fourth. We have had worse seasons.....
  23. The Fun Factory
    Just try to enjoy the game and the occasion as this sort of game has been so rare at Villa Park in recent years. Come on the Villa.
  24. The Fun Factory
    After that comment, he will probably put in a MOTM performance tonight!

    As we have another US pre seaon tour lined up in July, I hope that both badge and new shirt will be ready by then.
