In the name of removing the "slums" a lot of what would now be really nice (look at the jewelry quarter) got replaced with brutalist awfulness. Anyway, strong side that. I like Konsa and Pau as a pair a lot. Digne should be up for it. Hopefully the atmosphere won't get to them and we can play our own game. Lille already showed how good they are with the ball so we need to keep the faith in our own game and try and impose it on them. Come out the blocks fast and silence the crowd with an early goal.... Some amazing brutalist stuff around though - you can have both that and older stuff working together. eg National Theatre/South Bank, Barbican etc. On topic - we really need to watch the cards tonight. Don't need anyone being banned for the semis (if we get there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad Zani is starting, play like he did v Arsenal and that mop haired, diving clown they got down that side will be crying in his milk all game. Proper nervous for this, I'd love to see us win a cup, '96 was the last time, I was only 13 at the time, it's been far far too long. That guy is the worst. Talent wrapped up in a flimsy paper bag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Saka, go near the prat and he's on the deck. It's clear he's half decent as well which makes it worse as just no need to behave like that. He will soon get a good crunching and learn his lesson the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I know we should probably keep it tight and absorb Lille’s attacks early on, we have the lead and should protect it. However, I hope we come out all guns blazing and blow them away by half time, be much better for the nerves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep other countries did it without smashing their history to pieces, some great brutalist arch in italy even but they didn't tear down their history to build it. We've got 5 a card away from missing the semis it's true, I think this will be a real test of the players nerves, the atmosphere will be pretty lively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While i really want your nerves and mine to be happy...... i supect Emery will set us up to do as you admit we "should." 0-0 and we're golden. (and either drunk to numbness or a puddle of anxiety on the floor - - i'm aiming for the alcohol numb. Cheers!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srsmithusa Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 one of the many failures of the US is how insulated we are from the rest of the world. I've never watched an hour of french TV before. Guys drinking in the news room. T-shirts on panelists. it's quite refreshing how (in some ways at least) they are unpretentious. Oh and the city center looks lovely. Maybe a french vacation is in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking and it does look correct 8 conceded in 14 home games, but 4 of those 8 goals have been in the last 3 games… and they’ve conceded 25 in the whole season home and away.

Django_Zooms Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Unprecedented! Two ex-Villa players as pundits in the TNT Sports studio: Sidwell & The Scottish Cafu. They even seem to have some knowledge & appreciation of current players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 It’s nice to hear the TNT pundits being so complementary to Villa, I know it’s Hutton and Sidwell who both have a lot of time for us but the presenter is openly wanting us to win. I don’t think you’d get that from Sky tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
