Due to popular demand...
-
Come on The Babbies.
-
What time is KO?
-
Three minutes ago.
Nearly conceded there.
-
What a let-off there. Should have been a goal for sure.
-
that was close
-
Sporting look very good on the ball.
-
thanks cds
-
Why have they decided to play this match in The Somme?
-
Pitch is a disgrace
-
The lads are playing well.
-
Crowley is on the bench so that wanker Wenger hasn't pinched him yet.
-
Stickied for you.
-
@NextGenSeries: TEAM NEWS: Aston Villa XI - Watkins, Webb, Kinsella, Lyden, Donacien, Lewis, Barton, Carruthers, Robinson, Burke, Grealish
-
Stickied for you.
Worst. Strike. Ever.
Thanks Legion!
-
I like the look of Donacien.
-
If that Fokobo is 19, Clive Tyldesley's a brilliant broadcaster.
-
That was close. Good hot by SCL player.
-
We look good when we try to pass it and poor when hoofing it...rather like the 1st team...
-
That should have a pen to us
-
Have we been practising set-pieces with the bloody first team?
-
Sporting look dangerous every time they come forward
-
I must say the set-pieces have been shit. Looking second best in every department at the moment. Not passing it at all well.
-
These commentators are getting unnecessarily excited about every little touch from SCP players
-
I think they've edged it so far. They've been working very hard to close us down when we have possession. It'll be interesting to see if they can keep that work rate up for 90 minutes.
-

In fairness, the pitch is hardly conducive to a passing style.
If Swampy saw it, he'd be campaigning for somebody to build a road through it.
Zounds! That was close!
-
Oof. They scored but it was called offside.
Need to be 100x better second half if we're going to make it.
-
HT 0-0 well payed so far. SCP have been concentrating hard to stop our kids from dominating. I think we will with a gal after 65 mins.
-
I think we will with a gal after 65 mins.
We need to be concentrating on the game not trying to cop off.
-
Come on its holiday season and they are in a lake side resort!
-
Is it just me or is this pitch tiny in comparison to Villa Park?
-
How many of our players are English?
Arsenal had only 3 English players in their team.
-
Is it just me or is this pitch tiny in comparison to Villa Park?
I think it looks smaller because they have to fit it into a television screen. It's bigger in real life.
-
is Ben petty youth team assistant nowadays?
-
There have been some tasty challenges in midfield, plenty of effort too. This may depend upon the subs bench.

Hehe
-

Yes.
-
These commentators are starting to get on my nerves.
-
Penalty for us.
-
1-0. Wooooooooooooooo
-
YEEEEESSS!!!
-
1-0 us.
-
Get in :)
-
Get ze ferk in.
Against the run of play my arse. The ball has been mostly in Sportings patch this half.
-
Sporting denied a goal for offside.
-
is Ben petty youth team assistant nowadays?
Yes.
Well deserved promotion from coaching the U-11s.
-
is this right decision from referee to disallow goal ?
-
is this right decision from referee to disallow goal ?
Who cares?
-
How either team manages to keep posession on this pitch is beyond me, its like Glastonbury. I reckon if we play this right one of theirs will see red before long.
-
These bloody Eurosport 'commentators' are doing my head in . It's like they want us to lose !
-
Sporting hit the crossbar.
-
you just know even if we win this, sky will still make Arsenal second favourites
-
Excellent defending by the crossbar.
-
Sporting hit the crossbar.
It's there for a reason!

Who are these Villa-hating clown commentators ? Fecking twats....come on you Villa boys !!!
-
Where's Drennan?
-

They're driving me crazy. So biased towards Sporting.
-

Who cares?
Absolutely correct decision. One of the SCP player's fringe was offside.
-
Who are these Villa-hating clown commentators ? Fecking twats....come on you Villa boys !!!
The great Stuart F in Robson... Fountain of all knowledge about European football on Euro Sport!
-
Lots of huff-and-puff from SL but no delivery.
-
Good save from Watkins!
-
Lots of huff-and-puff from SL but no delivery.
Shut up!

I've just shouted that, not quite so politely, at the tv.
-
1-1 and the commentators are loving it.
-
Good goal, TBF. Although I hate the way the commentators relished it.
-
Bum.
-
Feck
-
The no mark Stuart who ? is creaming in his pants
-

hmmmm
-
Big test for Villa now
-

He's a friggin' disgrace.
-
Whi IS this commentator?!
-
Carruthers again passes the ball to their goalie.
-
ls this former Arsenal manager commenting. once between George Graham and Bruce Rioch era.
-
Sounds like a Portugese Jack Woodward. W**nker.

And all done from a studio in Dubai!
-
Grealish looks v good on the ball.
-
Robinson is the one to keep on eye on here I reckon, his movement and touch are superb for his age.
-
Lots of huff-and-puff from SL but no delivery.
Shut up!
Admittedly over-enthused, having just logged onto FRS.
-
Financial Reporting Standards? In fairness, that always gets me excited too.
-
Typically dirty portugese side though - full of niggly little fouls.
-
Robson just mentioned SL have been much the better side six times in one sentence. Come on you Villa boys !!!!!
-
I think that big unit centre-half could've been sent off for his earlier two-footed lunge.
Conveniently overlooked by commentators determined to stick to the "Villa are shit, Sporting have been robbed" narrative.
-
Financial Reporting Standards? In fairness, that always gets me excited too.
First Row ...

Blimey, he's just said 'credit to Villa...'
-
Extra time.
-
Blimey, he's just said 'credit to Villa...'
And I just fell off my chair !!!
-
Carruthers flatters a little: he had that through ball just at the end and played a very indifferent pass.
-
Blimey, he's just said 'credit to Villa...'
Can't believe you're watching on telly rather than in person. Bloody part-time supporter!
-
We will win this now with a goal in the 115th minute.
-
Commentator is a total prick "the technically better Lisburn team" Eurosport is crap anyway
-
I'm predicting match abandoned after 117 minutes due to mole attack.
-
Get in there!!!
-
Well played Robinson!!!
-
Oh it's a lovely day..Grealish is class
-
2-1 us
-
That goal looked very familiar....
-
Wizzer.
-
Yesssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!
-
shame he didnt take it first time and shin it in off the post...
-
woo hoo!!
-
That was a very cool finish indeed.
-
2-1 to Villa..."against the massively technically superior incredibly unlucky Sporting Lisbon"
-
Take that Robson !!! Now lavishing praise on this Villa team !!
-
Commentator: "Sporting have been a cut above Aston Villa". Yes, this is the team that Villa beat 5-1 in the groups.
-

Haha, couldn't miss the Liverpool game. It is really weird watching Villa live on the tv.

Not as weird as you being on a Villa match thread!
-
What are the little huts in the corners of the ground for?
-
Good chance to put the game to bed there
-
Impressed with Watkins, in goal.
-

Those are little huts for the corner of the ground!
-
We are playing really well now
-
Game over
-
Yes. 3-1
-
It's done 3-1 Samir
-
Brilliant!!
-
Wahey!
Come here commentator, let me drink your tears!
-
Woooo hooooooo
-
'Robinson's performance today has been absolutely outstanding' S Robson, Eurosport
-
Donacien, Grealish, Robinson and Watkins look very good.
The Future may be ... well, bright.
-
:D :D
-
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Get in !
-
Yesssss! I think think Sporting are a bit knackered now. Come on the babbies :)
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
-
Sporting are losing their heads.
-
Only a yellow for effectively throwing an elbow then.
-
Yesssss! I think think Sporting are a bit knackered now. Come on the babbies :)
their defense look shattered, have been having to chase after Robinson a lot though, I'm really impressed by him.
Grealish we mostly knew about and he also looks a top prospect, along with Donacien who i mentioned early on. I reckon all 3 have got the ability to make it, we need to get them mentally right for the step up though.
-
These must be the most inaccurately-named club in football.
-
How long left?
-
These Portugese have now lost their heads big time the ref needs to protect our young boys
-

Ten minutes plus injury-time.

About 12 minutes, I guess.

It is now! Seven minutes plus IT left.
-
How has the SL No.3 not been booked?!!
-
5 to go
-
These Portugese are little more than thugs our players will do well to get off this field
-
I think Grealish has been brilliant.
-
What's the score?
-
3-1
-
Come on now...2 mins
-
3-1 villla
-
I think Grealish has been brilliant.
Along with Robinson, Watkins and Donacien.
-
So let me get this in proportion the technically accomplished unlucky but superior team are now 3-1 down to a team that beat them 5-1 in the group stages. And they've lost their shape...
-
Cheers folks.

Well done Watkins...2 mis of injury
-

Or you could smile and be happy that Villa are going to be in a euro final.
-
Briliant, heart-warming and a great boost for Sundy.
Well done me babbies!!
-
Well done lads.
-
Well done, Villa! Bring on Chelsea!
-
Final on Monday v Chelski ok 4.30
-
Due to popular demand...
Thanks for that, I totally forgot. A far better night than I expected.
-
Well done Villa!
-
Into the Final we go!
Congratulations Babbies, commiserations commentators.
-
Well done the Villa babbies.
-
Well done Villa boys. Great performance from the keeper, centre half immense, Grealish and Robinson...awesome.
Stuart Robson...can you hear me ???? Your boys took one helllll of a beating !!!!!!

I think we have been excellent all game. Even in the first half we looked dangerous and never really allowed them to create any clear threats, just half chances. Robinson was superb and always looked dangerous. We looked great on the ball and unlike Sporting looked confident and composed when we didn't have it. I don't think the pitch helped us as we looked the better footballing side capable of passing through them to create chances. A good win and hopefully we can replicate it in the final.
-
Excellent and there's still time to get some ale down the pub. Evening all :)
-
Superb boys - good luck on Monday !

And we'll said, again.
-
Well done.
Win the trophy on Monday and they can have a lap of honour with it before the Fulham game.
-
Bloody heroic performance that, Robinson just got better and better. Sodding great!
-
Fantastic stuff. It was like watching a team of James Milners.
-
Well done.
Win the trophy on Monday and they can have a lap of honour with it before the Fulham game.
And again before the Chelsea game. :D
-
We were far the better team for at least 20 minutes!!!!!
Superb!!!
-
Is NextGen an important trophy to win for us. I mean is it better than something like Intertoto Cup.
-
Well done.

Win the trophy on Monday and they can play against Fulham!
-
Very very impressed with Callum Robinson.I hope Lambert has taken note of his magnificent committed performance in this game.

Agreed, I can see him in a front 3 with Benteke and Weimann...
-

-
Well done.

In all seriousness. That lads did very well. Sporting looked a decent outfit, but I'm not sure they were mentally strong. Our lads looked technical, well drilled and strong.
I reckon Robson will have us 3rd favourites behind Arsenal. The other thing Is I'd like all our lads shake hands with the Chelsea lads , but whisper I'll bet you anything you like I'll get a game for the Villa 3 seasons before you make the bench at your place
-
Well done.

I think if we beat Chavski, both Villa and Fulham supporters would happily give them a standing ovation!
-
Have only read last page but have to say I thought Robson was fair with his comments. Sporting were technically the better team but Villa battled well and rode their luck. In extra time we stayed strong and were the better team. Robinson was superb IMHO, did a great job for the team. Was looking forward to seeing Grealish. He certainly has talent on the ball, doesnt look the fastest lad, but hopefully will have a future. Carruthers started poorly IMHO, but grew stronger and stronger, except for his dead ball choices. Robson mentioned all of these players, especially Robinson. I thought the number 5 (sorry cant remember his name) did really well at times, the lad next to him as well. Didnt see the first game, but nice to see an English team of mainly British players doing so well. I heard Robson mentioning that most of the Chelsea and Arsenal players were foreign.
-
Well done.

I think this will be a great incentive. It should also give the crowd and first 11 a lift.
Well done the babbies.
-
I thought Donacien had a great game in defence, looks a real good prospect and to think only 12 months ago he had all that trouble with getting UK residency and could have been forced to quit playing for Villa. I bet no ones family will be prouder than his on Monday.
-

That is the lad I was on about, couldnt remember his name. He had an excellent game and looked like a leader to me
-
Yes Donacien looked composed and authoratitive but Robinson looked as if he has got the skills required at the highest level already.But so did Luke Moore at his age . Wasnt over impressed with Samir Carruthers for most of the match but he improved in the later stages of the game.
That big Portugese centre half (with the dreads looks) as if he could make it as well.
Cant wait for Monday.
-
Very very impressed with Callum Robinson.I hope Lambert has taken note of his magnificent committed performance in this game.

By the time he gets his chance in the first team those two will be long gone.
