Demitri_C Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Probably needs its own thread for other games this week. As we know we play either hibs or luzern. But a wholw host of fixtures this week and next which should shape up the group stages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) Wanted to put this in the villa topic but it's mysteriously closed... Luzern gives us a nice away trip. Hibs gives McGinn a bit of homecoming. Both should be very beatable and let us rotate the squad options over the two legs. Be happy whoever wins that qualifier. Anyone know if TNT are showing any of the qualifiers? Edited August 8, 2023 by MrBlack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted August 8, 2023 Author Share Posted August 8, 2023 I think hibs might suprise luzern well at homw anyway. They will be desperate to win the game and set up a england vs scotland show down. It would be quite a occasion. A friendly rivalry. I want hibs to be honest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like this wasn't announced until the day before the first leg. So I guess possible BBC could pick up these games as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been dreaming about Villa playing in Switzerland since the MON era. Standing in the away end in my home country would be brilliant. Also, it's only a one hour drive... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post John Posted August 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2023 Hibs fans aren't over confident of getting through to play us. The following one on hibs.net made me laugh: "Hibs defence is as solid as a melted Toblerone sitting on a deck chair wearing a t shirt saying if I was chocolate I’d eat myself. No chance we’re going to play villa." Looking forward to the John McGinn, Ulises de la Cruz, Des Bremner, Alex Cropley, Johnny MacLeod, Willie Hamilton, Lewis Campbell & Willie Groves derby! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also looking forward to go sometime. Fortunately I was once given 20 Swiss Francs by a friend to pay for something here. I bet that's worth about 20 Swiss Francs now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Hibs already lost to an Andorran team in a leg so can see why the fans are rightfully pessimistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But christ is it expensive. When the wife and I were in Zurich (back when Villa were in the Championship) I somehow managed to find a pub showing us playing. We had a meal, my wife had one drink and I had three pints. It was about 130 euros. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, drink before you arrive at the pub and only drink there to stay in the sweet spot . Drinks on me if we end up in Luzern. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
