At the time we were cruising towards a comfortable win. They they scored and I was like "oh ffs Villa, why do you do this to me? ". For once we had a happy ending at Wembley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Wins for Leicester, Burnley and Fulham today would make the relegation race a bit more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunther Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 It's not relegation related but i would LOVE a Europa League place. Would love to go to Europe to watch the villa play again, it's the absolute pinnacle of following your club. It's a daft competition that could easily be improved. Would love to see it as a straight knockout, no seeding. Not like there's huge television audiences to lose for the group games so I don't know why they do it. One leg, straight draw, straight knockout. Could even add loads more teams to it. 256 teams, eight matches to win it. Would be brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted December 13, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 13, 2020 Europa League football would be absolutely brilliant. We're definitely not above that as a club and it would be an exceptional achievement to qualify for it (I don't think we will). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted December 13, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 13, 2020 I’d love another few European nights. Some have been fantastic. If you’re worried about the Europa League wait until you see the Europa Conference League launching next season... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Europa League is just a distraction. If we got into it i would do exactly the same as MON. Play the reserves and focus on top 4. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I don't think there's much chance of us qualifying for the Europa league, but if we did it would probably be our best chance of getting into the Champions league, so qualifying for it would be very good for a team like ours. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Still 2 weeks to Xmas and we're using the relegation thread to talk about Europe. Shows what a brilliant start we've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Ramsdale very much like Nyland. Indecisive, panicky. Fills the rest of the back 4 with fear. I can't state enough how important the number 1 spot it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attendance I can see online is 36k which for a midweek game isn’t bad. And those Villa fans were as loud as I’ve heard at Villa Park when we scored in that game. I think a lot of the players from the time look back very fondly on that game too and given that we won a lot of games at the time that’s saying something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8CRkznI8a0&t=3393s Yup. Listen to the fans at kick off. And when Laursen scores after five minutes. Was a really good Ajax team in hindsight with young Suarez and Vertonghen at the back.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Think we can stick a fork in Sheffield United now then. Was kind of hoping they would come out of it as I have a soft spot for what Wilder has achieved but it seems their terrible run is now being met with terrible fixtures against in form teams. At the end of the day the sooner 3 teams are cooked the easier I will rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is but at the same time they’re not cut adrift, two wins gets them right back amongst that bottom four. It’s looking like a tight finish at both ends of the table this season already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
