I'd love it too, but I'd like to see Zidane win another one for the history books. Whatever happens, I'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like football too. Which is exactly why I will boycott everything associated with those clubs, the CL a UEFA until they are punished. Watching those matches basically condones what they've done, and you support ruining the sport and agree to everything they suggested. There's no middle ground here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 The ESL isn't going to mean that I never watch those teams ever again, I'm not that pissed about it, especially with the CL and FFP combining to basically shit all over competition for years anyway But honestly I've got absolutely 0 interest in Chelsea or Real Madrid Might watch a bit of city vs PSG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me not buying South African cider didn’t affect apartheid much either, but it's about consumer power and saying enough is enough. Surprised anyone have to say this. If that's your view of the world ypu might as well never vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos to you, I hope you can follow through with this when we play Barcelona in 2025 CL final But on a serious note, football is my hobby. I enjoy it. Var, silly handball rule changes, stupid CL rules, bad referees, it doesn't change the fact that after a day of work I like to sit down and watch 22 athletes at their top performance. For a minute (or for 90), it makes you forget about all the above shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Especially as I am mostly emotionally detached from the CL - no Villa tainted glasses, just the best athletes this sport has to offer. It's a different experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I thought UEFA and these 12 clubs were a bunch of words removed 2 weeks ago, I think they're all a bunch of words removed now I'm not sure what's actually changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 That's a great goal by benzema, 3 players jumping in front of him, not sure he can anticipate it coming to him so it's pure split second reactions both in the header and the volley Its really skillful and a lot harder than he made it look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Marcelo looks like he is out of the 2nd leg as he has been selected for local election polling duties I wonder has a player ever missed a game for jury duty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I haven't given two craps for the Champions League for years and won't do so unless Villa ever qualify for it. They don't even bother to allow to have a highlights programme on terrestrial tv any more, which speaks volumes for me. A elite competition for a elite collection of teams. I got briefly excited a few years ago when Ajax nearly reached the final, but that's it. I had a similar attitude for the PL when Villa where in the EFL but maybe that's was just sour grapes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I have BT sports bundled “free” (not really but you know) in my Virgin pack so I tend to use it for CL football. The 2 legs between Bayern and PSG were 2 of the best games I’ve watched in a long time. I’ll watch the game tonight, hoping for another great game but I think Pep will go very defensive due to the M’bappe and Neymar threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Champions League Pep, he still has to try a new tactic this season. Maybe play his 2 fastest players at full back to stop them so can see Walker at Right Back and Sterling at Left Back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must be itching to go full Pep, play Ederson right side of a 7 man midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
