Got a ticket yesterday...

I heard Schalke were pretty big in Berlin even if though they have had a bad couple of years

Does anyone have a link to some good slider settings? Legendary is just a waste of time, as every shot is a goal and it's near impossible to get round the defence.

Hi everyone, I have just moved to Berlin having been a part of the Dubai Lions for the past couple of years (make sure if you're ever in the UAE you go and give them a visit). I was wondering if there were any fellow Villa fans in Berlin? I know Prague Lions isn't too far but not really possible to go every week! Cheers Steve

If we lose on Tuesday he has to go surely?

What worries me a lot is how the commentators keep saying 'Bruce knows how to get teams out of the league' and 'This has been one of their better performances this season' we are playing horrible football and not picking up points. Surely, it is time to go, get a manager in who can motivate and be proactive, god knows what Grealish, McGinn, Abraham and Bolasie are thinking right now.

Needless to say last weekend's Revier Derby was unbelievable, Dortmund look a shadow of their former self. However, was really impressed with what Tedesco has done with Schalke, they look determined in every deparmtnet, and despite not having the best players, they work hard for each other. The performance of Naldo at the back was incredible, McGrath like; every ball in to the box he was in the right place, every pass intercepted and his distribution was super, and he topped it off with a great goal from a free kick. Atmosphere as ever unlike anything you get in England.

Cannot wait for the Revier Derby on Sunday, hope it's as mental as the one earlier in the year, just with Schalke winning this time! An atmosphere like nothing i've been to anywhere else.

Neil Taylor....why?

Think last weekend was such a hammering that it looks inevitable. The run in they have is do able but they are going to have to win almost all their remaining matches now and hope for some form of miracle (but they have since Christmas anyway)

Huge end to the season in the battle for the European spots, amazingly Schalke are 2nd still, just hope they can keep up their winning record (especially on the 15th when I am there) against Dortmund. Koln and Hamburg look like they are finally going to bite the bullet, I had hopes that Koln would get out of it, but that result last weekend looks pretty damning.

Important to remember we have to play Cardiff and they have to play Wolves. If we beat them and Wolves do the gap it will swing back to us, 9 wins is the aim and tonight we need to get back to doing the job. I trust he will have rotated the squad to freshen it up

Is it a loan to buy if we do get promotion, or do we get the option to say no even if/when we do this season?

Surely it just goes without saying that he cannot be given a new contract. Even if it was on a pay as you play deal, he adds nothing to the squad, is hardly a good role model for the youth players, and couldn't give any advice on how to be a decent professional. Sooner his wages are off the bill the better. Cheers for the derby day goals, will always remember being at the Sty when he powered home that header against Joe Hart late on, but too little in a career which has been massively poor.

I have been in Dubai this weekend, and was just going to the beach when I saw the score was 4-0 to BVB, so was more than happy to avoid it. Checked again at the beach and saw 4-4 and was straight in to the sea! The game is simply massive, nobody understands over here how much bigger it is than Dortmund Bayern. The hatred between the two fans is just immense one of the best experiences I have ever been to and I have been lucky enough to go 3 times
