@WakefieldVillanHow was your experience at the Villa today?

Love the team spirit here and the togetherness that Unai has created. UTV!

So proud of the team today.

With a depleted and tired squad we managed to win a crucial match and given ourselves a decent chance at 4th place.

Well played to Unai, the team and the fans!

Let's now recharge and get ready for the next match vs Chelsea. UTV!

Have to laugh!

Big game today and hopefully a cracking atmosphere. Come on Villa - seize this opportunity!

Now there is a player I would love to have a season ending injury (at the start of next season) 

Their fans acting like they are the only club to lose players to injuries. Some blaming McGinn for it what a bunch of wet wipes!

Hopefully we can do the business today and then get at least a point vs Chelsea. Putting us 7 points clear, we know what Spurs are like when the pressure is on.

 

At least their (Spurs) official site have now come out and say it was an injurry he (Udogie) picked up in training. So can't blame McGinn!

These injuries happen unfortunately as we have found out to our cost.

Hopefully we keep everyone fit until the end of the season and get a few back like Moreno to help us secure a top 4 finish ideally.

Crap that we miss him for first leg as he’s a genuine game winner . 

Yeah - certainly frustrating. A small bonus is it looks like one of the main Olympiacos centre backs is suspended from the first leg too (as got red carded) so they will be impacted too.

Hopefully Olsen will do the business in the first leg and then we can have another Martinez masterclass in Greece.

I reckon it's the other way round with bookies - not sure if that's an accurate reflection.  In many respects, I think a draw is the most likely result.

Yeah - could well be a close game and I understand we've won, drew and lost to them this season so not the easiest game to pick.

I think that 3-1 home defeat in the FA Cup is still fairly fresh in my mind so, perhaps, that is swaying my nervousness about us getting a positive result vs them. We're certainly capable though.

I certainly think it'll be a surprise if we beat them. Hopefully they can also beat Spurs. 

Yeah - I would still make them slight favourites against us.

However, for all their very talented midfielders and attacking play I think GK / defensively they can be got at.
