Bit surprised to see Lenglet instead of Torres. Other than that, looks attacking and Zaniolo back on the bench.
-
Do we really need to rest Pau?
-
Team arriving, no pyro no party

Diaby, sort yourself out lad, make a solid contribution. Morgan, score another at VP.
-
Good news that Alan Wright had found his old boots to help out with the left back issue.

Big few days for McGinn and Doug.
-
Do we really need to rest Pau?
He does have the air of a fella shaped from expensive porcelain. Best keep him safe for Sussex on Sunday.
-
I would imagine the Pau decision is based on his earlier injury and workload.
-
Down to the bare bones. Kids on the bench
-
Olsen and Lenglet potential weak links but they both had decent games in various games so fingers crossed they can do the same tonight.
-
Lenglet's played 23 games for us in our best season in 28 years. He's a decent player. He'll be fine.
-
Torres didn't feature every week in the group stages either, did he?
-
Win please, and win well.
-
Time for Moussaka Diaby to serve up a tasty dish.
-
Olympiacos a bit thrown by the fact we haven't named Keftedes in our starting 11.
-
Olympiacos starting XI: Tzolakis; Rodinei, Restos, Carmo, Ortega, Iborra, Chiquinho, Hezze, Fortounis, El Kaabi, Podence.

😂😂😂😂
-
Bit concerned with that back four tbh but lets hope unais got it right.
Torres being saved for Saturday
-
Doug makes his 200th Villa appearance, Diaby his 50th.
-
Let’s go get a lead. Ignore the lightweight clowns who have never seen us lift a trophy
-
Bit concerned with that back four tbh but lets hope unais got it right.
Torres being saved for Saturday
Is he playing for someone else? Fucking hell…
-
Pleased with that line up. Torres needs a rest - doubt Bailey will last the game but good to have Z and BigJohn on the bench.
I think Cash and Diaby are key as blown hot and cold this season. Massive chance.
Seeing Rogers name on the team sheet takes me back to the late 80s and a certain David Platt tinge of excitement.
-
That's an inexperienced bench. We best go hard and make sure of this in the first 60 minutes.
-
Now thats a away crowd. Bloody hell
-
The official press team sheet from UEFA has some weird guesswork of player places.

-
Think Virgin Media used the same source, as they had Konsa on the left and Lenglet on the right as well.
-
Dear Aston Villa
Please come out fast and aggressive. Don’t give them a moment on the ball. Let’s tear into them from the start. We’ve had so many false dawns in the past 3, even 4 decades. Seize this opportunity with both hands.

This - with knobs on.
-
Anything less than a 5 goal victory against these non league clowns will be disappointing.
-
That is a very young bench...
-
Any reliable trickles gratefully accepted.
-
FTF 8)
-
Chelsea winning !
-
I love those warm up tops with just the little bit of blue trim. I know so many would shit their pants at a mostly claret jersey, but it looks so good.
-
Chelsea 1 up
-
Idiots holding up the squares the wrong way around 🤭

Villa Park looks magnificent. 8)

UP THE VILLA!

-
Their kit is a little bit clashing?
-
Fuck me, that's a bit of a shirts clash.
-
Olsen saves
-
I’m struggling with the kits straight out.
-
Great save by Olsen. Offside though.
-
Wake up Villa
-
What a save olsen. Terrible defending
-
my eyes are that bad the kits look too similar
-
Fuck me Luiz, what the fuck was that?
-
Fucking ropey defending there. Doug stopped tracking his runner and there was no communication that anyone needed to pick him up.
-
Great save Olsen.
-
That must have been offside, restart was a GK
-
Ooooooh
-
So close@
-
just realised i paused the tv 20 mins ago, twat
-
Ooh unlucky Morgan. What a fucking player that lad is.
-
Great effort morgan !!
-
Is that the Olympiakos fans making all the noise.
-
Ohhhh that was close.
-
The whole ultra thing with a bloke stood up with his back to the game is quite naff..
-
Chelsea 1up
-
Goal but disallowed
-
Yes!!!@
-
Doug looking sharper.
-
Yes!!!@
Or no....
-
That’s a goal. Why was it ruled out?
-
Do we have a VAR hope?
-
whatttttttt
-
Can’t see anything wrong with that even after they’ve tried to explain it
-
Never mind. We're definitely scoring at some point soon.
-
Lenglet pulling a shirt, the massive twat.
-
Lenglet no need .
-
You can't have a tug during an attack and expect to get away with it
-
Digne injured?
-
Lenglet pulling a shirt, the massive twat.
Yep it’s such a stupid thing to do. He’s done that before.
-
Fucks sake lenglet. Thats the 2nd one. Stop it
-
Fuck all wrong with that FFS.
-
WHAT THE FUCK - nothing wrong with that goal.
-
Soft but it was a bit silly from Lenglet.
-
You can't have a tug during an attack and expect to get away with it
Ooh err missus.
-
You can't have a tug during an attack and expect to get away with it
It has to be a really beautiful attack for me to do that.
-
Lenglet pulling a shirt, the massive twat.
Did something similar up at Goodison?
Maybe I just imagined it.
-
Fuck all wrong with that FFS.
He defintely pulled yer man's shirt.
-
There is no way that’s a foul.
-
It’s a foul. It’s soft, but it’s a stupid foul that’ll always deny a goal.
-
If Lenglet keeps having a tug I reckon we'll pull him off at half time
-
There is no way that’s a foul.
It is because the ref said it was. On another day it might not be given.
-
If Lenglet keeps having a tug I reckon we'll pull him off at half time
Down with this sort of thing.
-
It’s a foul. It’s soft, but it’s a stupid foul that’ll always deny a goal.
No chance, as the officials will demonstrate during the rest of this game
-
Fuck all wrong with that FFS.
Yah bar the blatant foul it was all good .
-
Keep giving the ball to Leon!
-
Now they have one disallowed
-
Offside.
-
If Lenglet keeps having a tug I reckon we'll pull him off at half time
wouldnt want to share the shower with him
-
Saved by the flag there.....
-
VAR check
-
Goal stands 0-1
-
It looks pretty close with Cash
-
How was it not offside?!
-
Goal given. FFS!
-
Miles off
-
F**k sake.
-
Cash again almost played him on
-
Fuck off. That was a really jammy goal.
-
Typical Villa there. Should have had several ourselves and they score instead.
-
Looked very offside to me.
-
cash needs to watch his back line
-
Fuck me Villa, sort the defence out
-
I'm sorry, but Cash has a lot of problems holding the line.
-
So the sloppiness carries forward
-
Cash did play him on . So slow to get out .
-
Surely that was offside??
-
We need to put away some fucking chances.
-
Thats offside
How the fuck they given that
-
Corrupt.
-
Cash is notoriously bad at leaving players onside. I thought it was miles offside though. Piss poor.
-
Lenglets been fucking terrible
-
Distribution at the back looks ropey. I don’t mind Olsen as a backup but he isn’t very good at playing it out and the defenders aren’t entirely inspiring confidence with the passing either.
-
Our defending is fucking shit at times.
-
Gewt Pau on FFS.
-
Villa players putting their own keeper under more pressure than the Olympiakos keeper at the moment.
-
It's onside, they showed it. You could see Cash at the bottom could be keeping him on, I'm not sure why the comms were so confident.
-
We look disorganised at the back.
-
Fucking hell
-
Diaby and Bailey in the same side just doesn't work. Lenglet instead of Torres doesn't work.
-
We look rattled , they've settled into the game far better than us . Midfield getting overrun .
-
Oh well. Need to take our chances, Lenglet’s cheeky tug now seems a lot more significant
Tonight’s Wine of the match - Monte Dei Cocci Appassimento 2021. It’s a seriously heavy wine. 1 glass is enough.
-
Lenglets been fucking terrible
No he hasn’t. It’s started early then. They certainly don’t look like a team that we will hammer, easily better team so far.
-
Fiorentina 1 up, not that it matters if we don't sort our shit out
1-1 there now
-
Fiorentina 1 up, not that it matters if we don't sort our shit out
1-1 now
-
If we lose this one its gonna be a massive ask winning over there
We look 2nd best just like lille at villa park
-
Getting the feeling we've turned up expecting to win and massively under-estimated this lot. They've been much the better team
-
gone poor since the goal
-
They look a lot better than us. We‘ll struggle to get anything out of this match.
-
We look 2nd best just like lille at villa park
Let's hope this tie doesn't end up like that one.
-
CasH playing like he defendibg a lead ffs get the ball forward quicker
-
Getting the feeling we've turned up expecting to win and massively under-estimated this lot. They've been much the better team
I don't even think it's that, lots of our European performances have been underwhelming, and more widely, it's hard to believe we won 15 home (league) games in a row when you look at some of our recent performances. We just look tired and not really at it a bit too often.
-
We look rattled. We need to get control.
-
Getting the feeling we've turned up expecting to win and massively under-estimated this lot. They've been much the better team
I get the impression that Villa fans expected we would just win this, that’s the problem.

We're a very good side but we're a bit fragile. If one thing goes wrong it all sort of falls apart.
-
Watkins and McGinn could do with getting involved
-
Getting the feeling we've turned up expecting to win and massively under-estimated this lot. They've been much the better team
No I’ve the impression that Villa fans expected we would just win this, that’s the problem.
Yeah, I reckon it's definitely the fault of the fans.
-
That was shite Diaby.
-
We look 2nd best just like lille at villa park
Let's hope this tie doesn't end up like that one.
You can get lucky so many times before you are
Punished when you dont play well
-
The injuries have fucked us. We don't really have the right personnel to cover for the ones missing. Especially Kamara.
-
diaby pants
-

Yeah, I reckon it's definitely the fault of the fans.
Yes that’s the point I made 😂 Here we go…
-
Terrible again from Diaby , no composure and unable to play a simple pass.

I'm not sure what other point you were making.
Do you spend much time on match threads on here? If you do, you'd notice there's certainly no over-confidence about us.
-
Their keeper looked a bit wobbly the couple of times we had a shot, we really should be just firing a few at him from any angle .
-
Too easy for them. Not applyibv aby form of pressuee on their back four
-
Terrible again from Diaby , no composure and unable to play a simple pass.
How the fuck have we spent over £50m on him?
-
I think we'll win 10-1
-
Getting the feeling we've turned up expecting to win and massively under-estimated this lot. They've been much the better team
Get the feeling you've turned up because we're losing atm.
-
Luiz not in the game again .
-
Diaby and Bailey in the same side just doesn't work. Lenglet instead of Torres doesn't work.
Yep.
-
0-2
-
Ok, 10-2 then
-
2-0 FFS!
-
Why did they stop fucking playing?!?
-
That's two really good goals from them.

I don’t most of the time because there’s so much shite spouted during the game….
0-2.
-
Fuck me. Useless wankers.
-
Oh bollocks to it. This is like being kicked in the balls with some spikes.
-
Terrible again from Diaby , no composure and unable to play a simple pass.
How the fuck have we spent over £50m on him?
Hope we kept the receipt.
-
Astonishing. And we look utterly shit as well.
-
They are good
-
2-0
-
Time to work your magic Unai
-
This is utter, utter shit
-
Bollocks
-
Our defence has been atrocious
-
Christ, this is absolutely pathetic.
-
My bad feelings served me well. We will get obliterated in the CL playing like this
-
Im sorry but this fucking pathetic.
Fucking pathetic
-
Digne this time doesn't know where the line is, but it's the lack of pressure in midfield. Just fucking shocking honestly.
-
watkins useless too
-
Embarrassingly easy. Good finish, but woeful defending.
-
Oh dear. Thank goodness we’re not involved in the Champions League.
-
At least we have to throw the kitchen sink now. At least I hope we do
-
We've been having lots of really shit halves recently. This has been one of the worst.
-
That's really poor from Olsen for the 2nd.
-
We've put in way too many poor performances in this competition.
-
This is a proper fucking bottle job
-
This defence is fucking useless and that twat in goal. Needs rebuilding in the summer.
-
That's really poor from Olsen for the 2nd.
Hate to say it, but Emi keeps that out.
-
We look like a complete shambles at the moment.
-
On the plus side, 2-0 up is always a disaster
-
This is Chelsea all over again except we are not 2 up.
-
Dropping Pau when Olsen is in goal was a total cock up by Emery.
-
I am sure I have seen somewhere that 2-0 is a dangerous score and can make some teams retreat.........
-
Our biggest match in years and they serve up this pile of donkey shit.
The defence is atrocious.
-
Jesus, this is so so fucking shit.
-
On the plus side, 2-0 up is always a disaster
Only when we are 2-0 up recently
-

See the above comments with regards to match threads 😂 Sorry not the above comments in what I’ve quoted I mean since the first and second goals….
-
Luiz getting a right bollocking off Unai. Good, he's been utterly fucking shit.
-
Emery is having a right go at them
-
Disgraceful performance.
-
Aston Villa will Aston Villa.
-
Luiz and McGinn genuinely not on the fucking pitch.
-
Unai is apoplectic with Dougie
-
Emery very vocal on the sidelines there.
-
They should all be getting a bollocking. They’ve been fucking dreadful.
-
It might well be injuries, but this is sodding atrocious.
I’ve been a Villa fan all my life, and all I really want from this is to see us win some silverware - just for change. And this is pathetic. Totally and utterly pathetic. I’m gutted. Just because this was our chance.
We won’t go far in the CL next season. Totally and utterly pathetic.
-
Shame. Season was just 5 matches too long for the players
But for the people who think we will be obliterated in the CL if we get there, I wasn't expecting us to win the fucker on the debut.
-
Unai is apoplectic with Dougie
And so he fucking should be.
-
Turns out they're not worse than Lille, after all.
-
This is going to be Barca at home 1978. Evans and McNaught. Or was it Deehan.
-
Where is our midfield.
-
One thing though, that QF ref has shafted us. I reckon Emi stops both goals.
-
Olsen was shit for that 2nd. No mans land
-
This has all gone very Aston Villa
-
Disgraceful performance.
Please shut up
-
Ah, we'll be fine. Spurs lose tonight and Sunday, we beat Brighton, all efforts for the rest of the season go into winning twice in Greece.
Hold onto your seats.
-
Jerseys look sweaty as f**k again.
-
Ah, we'll be fine. Spurs lose tonight and Sunday, we beat Brighton, all efforts for the rest of the season go into winning twice in Greece.
Hold onto your seats.
Bugger off, no place for optimism on here😉
-
Jersey Boys
-
Get Longleat off asap.
-
I have faith.
-
Penalty surely
-
shit corner
-
One thing though, that QF ref has shafted us. I reckon Emi stops both goals.
Well he wouldn’t be playing anyway.
-
It's a European semi final, it was never going to be a gimme especially with a depleted squad
-
A game and a half to sort it out.
-
McGinn and Doug, again, just seem not even to know each other.
-
It's a European semi final, it was never going to be a gimme especially with a depleted squad
Yeah, long way to go yet.
-
One thing though, that QF ref has shafted us. I reckon Emi stops both goals.
Well he wouldn’t be playing anyway.
Ah shit, yeah. Good point.
-
There’s still at least 150 minutes left 👌🙏🏼
-
It's a European semi final, it was never going to be a gimme especially with a depleted squad
Of course it wasn't.
The signs have all been there in this competition, though. Lille came here and bossed us, and now Olympiacos are, too.
-
Disgraceful performance.
Please shut up
Hush up kid
-
Desperately need a goal before half time.
-
Stating the.obvious next goal is absolutely crucial
-
One thing though, that QF ref has shafted us. I reckon Emi stops both goals.
Yes, he usually do a couple og saves like that during a 1. half. Also when our offside line/ trapp dosent work we are very vulnerable and loka naive ish
-
Kellyman for Jellymen at half time.
-
I'm not sure why Podence jumping into Konsa wasn't a foul given the one he gave to disallow our goal.
-
Total shite. Caught in possession again. Villa playing out from the back to slow. Emery has to change. Every team know we play slow from the back. Like taking candy from a baby. COME ON THE VILLA
-
Not a booking ref?
-
Stating the.obvious next goal is absolutely crucial
Hope it’s ours.
-
Interesting set piece to be fair
-
Corners need to be better
-
You can bet your life that a player who is mostly gash and played for Wolves and shat on us while he played for them will shat on us when he moves elsewhere.
-
Let’s hope they are as shit as us at keeping a 2 goal lead.
-
Yellow surely??
-
Need a goal before half time and we might be alright.
-
doug looks like hes had late nights
-
All this talk of which you’d prefer, trophy or 4th, seems a bit moot now
-
Interesting set piece to be fair
Similar to McGinn's goal against Luton.
-
Let’s hope they are as shit as us at keeping a 2 goal lead.
Man who goes to bed with diarrhoea - he shit in bed.
-
Bailey looks a threat
-
They go close
-
Bailey looks a threat
If the ref had booked the defender he's running at when he should've he'd be even more dangerous.
-
Right now they look the most likely to take advantage of us pushing forwards into wide open spaces we are allowing them to occupy between our defence and midfield.
-
Wake the fuck up Villa
-
This is pathetic.
-
We look shit every time we go forward as soon as they go forward they looks brilliant.
Its unbelievable how bad we have looked
-
We’ve fucking frozen in the moment
-
I think if you look at our bench tonight it gives some perspective. We’ve done amazing to be in the position we’re in with so many injuries. Very few of these players have been in this position.
-
Ref is shit
-
We look shit every time we go forward as soon as they go forward they looks brilliant.
Its unbelievable how bad we have looked
We get it. Maybe if you post it again things will change.
-
We’ve got another disgraceful official in charge.
-
Why you blowing there???
-
This is almost as bad as the second half against Chelsea.
-
This fucking referee...
-
Being a Villa fan is so frustrating. We show amazing promise and have an incredible ability to produce nothing more than hot air when need a turd.
Luiz is terrible at the moment. Not sure what’s happened there. We seem better without him
-
Why the hell did he stop play then?
-
another shit ref
-
Genuinely can't remember the last time I heard Diaby mentioned.
-
Bailey looks a threat
If the ref had booked the defender he's running at when he should've he'd be even more dangerous.
Did I see him take the card out and then put it away again without showing it?
-
We look shit every time we go forward as soon as they go forward they looks brilliant.
Its unbelievable how bad we have looked
We get it. Maybe if you post it again things will change.
Iits unbelievable how bad we have looked
Hope that works 🤣
It worked 😂
-
Cash has lost his head .
-
These will be the best shithousing side we've seen in the second half.
-
Unai looks fucking furious.
-
Need half time asap
-
Diaby off Duran on
-
This ref is bent
-
Wow this refs so bad
-
Podence is such a tool.
-
We are playing into their hands - allowing them to pick up stupid fouls.
-
These will be the best shithousing side we've seen in the second half.
Ha, just said the same to my brother. Full 45 of shithousing incoming.
-
This ref is a cnut
-
That by Cash on Podence looked a bit like him getting one back after Podence did it to Konsa.
-
Too many games and too many injuries. Is what it is, albeit bitterly disappointing so far. If they get a third, which looks likely, then we’re done.
-
Olsen Christ.
-
Genuinely can't remember the last time I heard Diaby mentioned.
I'll mention him, an utter, utter, waste of money.
-
Unai looks like he is going to be laying his fists all over the players at half time
-
VAR check for a pen
-
Bailey looking for it a bit, but this ref is a wanker
-
That looks like a penalty though….
-
Am regretting waking up at 4 for this
Too many inept performances so far. I expect a lot more from Luiz, Diaby, Mcginn.
Lenglet...not for me. Weak
I'd like to see someone fairly flatten Podence.
-
Diaby off Duran on
I think just Diaby off, to be honest.
-
VAR check for a pen
Who for
-
Not given
-
VAR check for a pen
To us or them?
-
We are getting fucked over here by the ref. That’s a penalty
-
Not given
Of course not. This ref is a total and utter penis. But that’s an insult to penises around the world.
-
VAR check for a pen
To us or them?
It was us
-
Looked a pen to me. On the second movement
-
That is a definite pen.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
Hows that not a fucking pen?
-
Bailey is going to get himself in trouble
-
They officials in this game are bent.
-
Ollieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
-
thats a pen
-
Huszah
-
Olsen as number 2 comes back to bite us. He's not good enough and it hasn't been addressed.
-
Pen surely? FFS
-
How was that not a pen?
-
OLLIE WATKINS!!
-
Needed that fucker
-
Olsen saves, another defensive car crash
-
Brilliant!
-
Ollie you fuckin supastar.
-
Fantastic that it didn't matter but that penalty shout is easily as much of a foul as the one given against Lenglet.
-
Ollie lad
-
Fucking hell. Everything's going mental here.
-
Will you kindly get the fuck in
-
Get the fuck in !!!
What a move. Much better!!!
Thats the villa we know
-
I love Ollie
-
Get in - and take the fucking defence off.
-
OLLLLIEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
This is like a school ground game right now
-
What a run from Cash for the goal.
-
Great goal Ollie
-
That's what we do!
-
Psychological goal - just before half time!
Well done Ollie 👍
-
Penalty every day but get the fuck on Ollie!!!!
-
Lovely pass from waste-of-space Diaby
-
Game on !
-
Cash and Diaby magnificent there.
-
Good play Rogers
-
This is like a school ground game right now
With the kid from remedial English who can't play football as ref.
-
Let’s wine this 4-2. Well need it.
-
Lovely pass from waste-of-space Diaby
Ha ha ha, yes.
-
Let’s wine this 4-2. Well need it.
Rose tinted glasses 😉
-
Needed that.
-
HT.
-
FFS Luiz.
-
Fucking get in, great finish lad!
-
What a run from Cash for the goal.
Yeah was
-
Diaby wtf
-
great move but im so pissed off with this ref
-
Konsa needs to sort this defence out. All over the place.
-
Beautifully worked goal. Justice for the pen not given.
Finished the half so strongly. Play like that please villa.

Let’s wine this 4-2. Well need it.
Absolutely, I’m on my third glass here.
-
We can forget the penalty now. Ollie wouldn’t have scored if we’d had the pen too. It’s all good.
-
Let’s wine this 4-2. Well need it.
Absolutely, I’m on my third glass here.
I'm opening another bottle.
-
We've been so hideously shit but surely we can score another two here.
-
luis so soooo shit at tmes
and diaby should have shot
-
We’re all over the place at the back. Defence has to be sorted.
We need to play with tempo.
-
bastard stream went down and ai missed the Villa goal. Bollocks.
-
Diaby should've had a shot there.
-
Much better from us last minutes, there is hope
-
Well that last few minutes puts a different complexion on it.
-
Diaby wtf
I know .
-
I hate Italian refs.
-
75% of the tie left to smash these.
-
The goal was so soon after the pen claim that you have to say there’s no alternative reality in which we get both. So I’ll take the one goal and being back in it at this stage.
-
The ref has been pro greek you can see what their intentions are thats why im worries not going in wnd leg winning as w eare getting no decisions over there
-
Superb move for the goal and a brilliant finish from Ollie. It looks like it's gonna be some 2nd half.
-
luis so soooo shit at tmes
and diaby should have shot
Those two, fucking hell.
-
If we out pressure on them, they look defensively shite too.
We can do this. But we need a few goals ahead of the 2nd leg.
Also… is it just me or has every referee that we’ve had in this competition been utterly turd?
-
Wasn't a pen. Clearly won the ball. Keep going Villa.
-
Konsa needs to sort this defence out. All over the place.
Obviously it’s the rule that whenever a player isn’t available they’d be doing miles better than what we have playing but I do miss Mings for his ability to rally them and restore focus.
-
That non-penalty was a shocking decision on field and then for VAR not to intervene was a disgrace. Clearly moved his leg to trip Bailey.
-
luis so soooo shit at tmes
and diaby should have shot
Those two, fucking hell.
Diaby did set up the goal.
-
Our defence and this ref are a bloody wind up. It ain’t too bad other than that
-
This officiating team are c**ts. Pure & utter c**ts.
Again.
Good to see us get the goal & some form at the end of the half, but concerned that HT is going to break that momentum.
If we can find a way to get past that front three man press, we can do these.
Equally, our shitty defending means that they could do us too.
-
We’re having to play against the opposition and the officials. The Bailey goal is completely soft to disallow and we’ve already seen plenty of fouls NOT given for worse offences. The ref keeps stoping our build up for nothing and the challenge on Bailey is 1000% a penalty. What is VAR for if it’s not to intervene on both those moments.
-
We haven't helped ourselves, but that was shamelessly corrupt officiating in that half. Looks like something serious has happened in the Holte.
-
Standing in passport control Corfu for an hour.One on. They all must be watching the match.
-
Good end to the half, but by christ, Luiz has got to improve. He has been like a fart in a trance so far!
-
luis so soooo shit at tmes
and diaby should have shot
Those two, fucking hell.
Diaby did set up the goal.
That he did!
I want more of that please.
-
Those of you watching to tv what the fuck is wrong with Luiz? That last shot when in a great position summed up his shite performance so far.
-
A stone wall penalty. 2nd half, we move the ball quickly we win.
-
I actually don't think we've been quite that bad. Olympiakos have been a bit fortunate with the way loose balls have fallen their way at times, and the ref is a clown for denying us a clear penalty and not booking the man Bailey is running at.
We look better when Doug starts playing with a bit of zip, instead of slowing everything down whenever he gets it.
-
Wasn't a pen. Clearly won the ball. Keep going Villa.
was a pem
-
Penalty hahaha. The defender clearly sweeps the ball away first.
-
We've been woeful...Digne and Cash for the goals were god-awful. Feels like the officials have all received brown paper bags.
We must be better in the second-half.
-
Penalty hahaha. The defender clearly sweeps the ball away first.
Contact came first.
-
Seems to be a medical emergency in the lower Holte End at Villa Park. Paramedics running across and tannoy asks fans to clear the area
-
any link to the Villa goal please?
-
For those who like an emotional hedge, you can get 16-1 on Spurs making a comeback and winning and Olympiakos holding on.

I think if Spurs lose I could take a draw tonight in the hope that by next Thursday the CL place could be secured. That would give them freedom to play next week

I think they must be on a tea break or something. There’s an empty VAR room and a chair slowly swivelling to a stop with nobody near it.

It depends what people want to see as a penalty. It was virtually the same as the Saka one against Bayern Munich. Neuer / that Olympiakos bloke clean out the attacker but only because the attacker has decided that it's in their interest to be cleaned out and has slightly checked their run to allow it to happen.
These days that doesn't get given.
-
spurzzzzz close still 1 0 chavski
-
3-2 incoming. Think we gave them the 2 goals just to make it interesting!!

Thanks PWS.
-
Oh no I hope they’re ok.
-
I'm directly above the medics in K2. Police are now screening whatever is happening off.
-
I reckon 2nd half will be delayed as they've cleared that part of L2. Fingers crossed for whoever it is.
-
Enough of that talk!
-

Please let whoever is hurt be ok. That is awful.

Just about by the sounds of it….

Fingers crossed they'll be OK. That's more important than anything else at the moment.

We need to shape up we’ve been a complete mess for most of it. The back 5 have been atrocious.

Is the game likely to be delayed with the medical issue going on?
-
Oh no you can see the area cleared…. 😟
-
What’s Chelsea score, nobody posted it
-
It just struck me as strange to give the foul by Lenglet but not the one on Bailey.
Sounds terrible what's going on.
-
What’s Chelsea score, nobody posted it
I think its 7-1
-
We need to shape up we’ve been a complete mess for most of it. The back 5 have been atrocious.
A midfield might have helped. Not much point having four attacking players if they never see the ball. Unai has made it very easy for them.
-
Defo penalty. Brings Bailey down.
-
The penalty incident. As clear as it comes. Robbed of a goal and a penalty

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
For the person. Sad news
-
Away from football, if it’s dark enough in the next hour, the Aurora should be visible from the Midlands.
-
Lenglet has been dreadful and has cost a goal for the second time this season with his idiotic shirt pull.
I don’t normally comment on refs, but fucking hell this one is bad.
-
That should’ve definitely been a penalty. Yes he gets the balls but stops Bailey from running by putting his leg in between Baileys. The annoying thing is that we don’t even know whether it’s checked?
-
Virgin confirming the second half is delayed, although they don't seem to know why.
-
Anyone who thinks that isn't a penalty is fucking blind, yes the guy gets a toe on th eball but then after that it's a clear trip to stop Bailey getting away to get a shot off.
-
They need to either show all checks or stop showing them. One way or the other going forward.
-

Correct. Some people have it in their heads that if the defender gets the ball first it can't be a penalty which is nonsense.
-

That’s not the argument, he stops Bailey from getting the ball after as the touch is so slight he can get the ball as he’s on his feet.

Him winning the ball doesn't really matter because the foul comes after that.

Getting a slight touch on the ball then deliberately bring the player down because they could still get it is a penalty as Blues know only too well.

It’s a bit too light at the moment, but it should be good in the next 30 mins or so. Expected period to view is next hour to 3 hours… best chance I’ve ever seen down here - 25% apparently! And I saw them last year from Leicestershire with a 2% chance!
-
This is the time I get twitchy, just after half time. Concentration seems to be poor.
-
Sort the fucking mistakes out!!!
-
And we're off, no changes
To us. They have brought on a loanee from Forest.
-
Konsa sloppy as anything.
-
Sort the fucking mistakes out!!!
That was comical…. Diaby is turning into an expensive Zaniolo.
-
wtf then ??
-
Unai makes the sign of the cross. :)
-

Pointing to his shirt after the Cash challenge "I'ma tha boss!"
Wanker.
With the last two preening ponces who are so desperate to make it 'their' show, we need a big fat Nordic SOB next time out. No fuss, books the obvious malicious fouls, get the big calls right. And generally isn't an arse.
-
The sloppiness is astonishing- woeful.
-
WAKE UP LUIZ!!
-

Including a lot wearing black!
-
The mind boggles
Some of our players and concentration levels....
-
Better
-
Lucy Ward is always so complimentary about Villa.
-
Unai makes the sign of the cross. :)
Well you would, with the XI we've put out tonight.
-
Sort the fucking mistakes out!!!
Yep we are so fucking sloppy.
-
So annoying when we go from attacking their goal to back with Olsen.
-
WAKE UP LUIZ!!
Don't deserve a game at the moment but limited options .
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
DIABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
-
DIABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Waste of money
-
OH MY GOD!!!!
-
An expensive Zaniolo!!!
Diaby will come good! Mark my words!!
-
Get innnnnn!!!!!
-
What a signing !!!!
-
Yessss
-
Whar a fucking goal !!!!!!
-
That’s an incredible finish…
-
£50m well spent

Thank fuck
-
Villa arsenal league cup semi final 96. Just need a third!
-
WHAT A PERFORMANCE FROM MOUSSA!!!!
-
Keeper had a nightmare.
-
What a finish!

Diabbbbby you're not shit I fucking love you!
-
DRB check !

An expensive Zaniolo!!!
Diaby will come good! Mark my words!!
I will gladly eat humble pie every day 🥧

Errr… their keeper is a bit…. Shite? That shouldn’t have beaten him but was a great finish!

GET THE FUCK IN THERE

How did he get that in.

What a goal!
Fantastic!
Chuffed for him

you can't get beaten at your near post, Jim.
-
That was a fucking incredible goal
-
Errr… their keeper is a bit…. Shite? That shouldn’t have beaten him but was a great finish!
Said it in the first half. He's a liability. We should be just hammering shot after shot at him.
-
Goal and assist for the useless Diaby….
Now punish them.
-
I like Lucy Ward, she's generally pretty clued up and doesn't seem as biased as most but just before the goal she said that we'd let them off the hook by going back to Olsen, completely missing that we do it on purpose to create space to break into, which is exactly what we did to score.
-
Penalty to them
-
Penalty to them
-
Definite pen…what’s he thinking.
-
F**k sake. Peno
-
We need 2 goals clear going to Piraeus.
Let’s hammer them now.
-
Goal and assist for the useless Diaby….
Now punish them.
😂
-
Luiz you knobber
-
Ffs.
-
Villa and two goal leads, eh
-
Fuck no way is that a pen
-
Luiz
-
2-3
-
FFS
-
Their keeper is dog shit…just shoot and test him. There’s definitely more goals here if we take more shots.
WTF?! Penalty?! 🤬
-
Luiz FFS.
-
Unbelievable.
-
Of course it’s a penalty. Especially nowadays…
-
This ref needs shooting
-
That was from like a foot away. Ridiculous.
-
Fucking hell Dougie.
-
Stupid
-
Crap
-
No one is saving that pen
-
Fuckin ref prick
Couldnt blow quick enough
-
It is almost like he doesn't want Villa to do well so he has a chance to walk away siting ambition etc.
-
This referee is a total and utter c………..
-
Fucking hell why has he got his arms up?!!! Bloody idiot.
-
Right, fuck them up the tossers
-
Pen to them. FFS.
-
What the fuck has happened to Luiz of late?
-
Fucking score again Villa. We’ve conceded 3 to fucking Olympiacos.
-
Man we dont fucking help ourselves
-
Pen all day long in the current climate
-
Nowadays that's a pen, it's close to him but his arms are too high, it looks odd.
-
That's not Luis fault and I'm not a massive fan of his but that's ball to hand all day long
-
Fucking hell, so many 50/50s gone against us this game. I can see why that gets given but to do it when you've disallowed one for us and not given that Bailey pen starts to look like a pattern.
-
I have no idea what is & isn't a pen anymore, but that ref had his whistle in his mouth before the ball hit his arm...
-
We've gifted them all 3 of their goals.
-
Luiz is infuriating. I don’t know where the player form before Christmas has gone????
-
I hate refs.
-
Bollocks just as we were looking good.
-
Was it even a corner
-
Fucking corrupt referee. He couldn’t bloody wait to blow his whistle there. What a total dickhead. Maybe we should do the full Forest on him?
-
Fuck Luiz if he doesn’t want to bother
-
I'm speechless about this defensive display.
-
That is a pen but the Bailey one is not. Fuck off.
-
If we could defend we'd be champions of the universe
-
Silly from Luiz, can't jump like that anymore.
-
There was no need at all for him to put his arms up there. He seemed to be claiming he was protecting his face, which is no excuse.
-
There was no need at all for him to put his arms up there. He seemed to be claiming he was protecting his face, which is no excuse.
Yes, it was really poor from him, definitely a penalty, and he's let us down there.
-
Luiz needs some time out the team .
-
Silly from Luiz but the ref could not give it quickly enough and you know that the same thing on or in another game and it probably won’t be given.
-
That is a pen but the Bailey one is not. Fuck off.
Agreed, ref owes one at least.
-
Luiz needs some time out the team .
We don't have the bench to allow it. Him being out of the team is what got him out of rhythm in the first place.
-
Luiz needs some time out the team .
Unfortunately there is nobody to replace him with.
-
Luiz needs some time out the team .
Unfortunately a) just had that, b) everyone else is injured.
-
I'm speechless about this defensive display.
It’s as bad as I can remember. Why Pau was dropped/rested for the game with Olsen in goal is baffling
-
This is why teams are starting to overrun us in midfield, we simply don’t have the numbers.
-
At least Spurs lost
-
At least Spurs have lost.
-
This ref nweds to bw investigated
Absolutely absymal performance
-
Spurs are fucking finished. CMON VILLA PUT EVERYTHING INTO THIS NOW
-
When did Lenglet last play, that’s what I find odd about the decision to rest Torres.
-
We are more than capable of scoring a few over there. Although if we defend like this we could concede half a dozen.
-
Need Pau on now at least to help with the distribution from the back.
-
Spurs have lost. That is something at least
-
Hopefully Pau and Emi start the second leg
-
This is why teams are starting to overrun us in midfield, we simply don’t have the numbers.
Or at least one of the numbers who are there have decided they don't really want to do anything? I'm actually glad he got his 10th yellow now as we were not beating Arse and probably Bournemouth with the way he has been playing before, and definitely since.
-
Played Chelsea .
-
The other problem is McGinn is also off his game or has been the last couple of matches.
-
It's a good job away goals don't count any more, I'll say that. I say, it's a good job away goals don't count double.
(https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/news/2024/02/23/TELEMMGLPICT000367684768_17086877233200_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqSk7crWh49HaMrzZioCIujsJBTs9mHbQ80gO-EfS5xfU.jpeg?imwidth=1280)

Hopefully Pau and Emi start the second leg
And Tielemans is back for Luiz.

Genuinely can't tell which player is ours or theirs when there's a bunch of them together.
-
I recall McGinn being amazing at Arsenal
-
Hopefully Pau and Emi start the second leg
And Tielemans is back for Luiz.
Not heard any news on his injury
-
And Olsen and Longlay play marbles on the M6.
-
never a foul
-
FFS!
-
This has been unacceptably sloppy. The one thing Olympiacos wanted was a route into the game and we’ve repeatedly gifted them that.
-
Jesus chirst
-
There we go then
-
Fuck me, how can he give that as a foul, useless twat.
-
You've got to be fucking kidding me.
-
I’m guessing that was Olsens fault as well…
-
No closing down
-
They've done exactly what we should have been doing, f**king hammer it at the keeper if we get anywhere near the box.
-
This tie is over
-
Ffs I don't want 4th anymore
-
This is fucking horrific
-
wtf
-
Pathetic. Concentrate on the league now.
-
There you go, then.
Game over, tie over, that's just fucking shit.
-
Olsen wtf
-
Fluke but when you play shite and let them shoot then shit happens
-
Game over.
-
This tie is over
I have to agree now, you can’t concede 4 goals at home in a semi final and hope to get to the final.
-
Our luck tonight is unbelievable
-
What happened with the ref?
-
And again don’t close down the shot. Lazy fucking play and they get lucky.
-
I'm lost for words.
-
Hopefully Pau and Emi start the second leg
And Tielemans is back for Luiz.
Not heard any news on his injury
Word was it was a haemotoma. So hopefully it clears up soon.
-
I don't think this happens with Torres starting.
-
Fucks sake...
-
The Fannie’s in the crowd can start lobbing more stuff no they have scored. Lot to do next week. Need to score 3 and then none. No chance
-
Lucky for them, but we let them create the chance. Fucking rubbish, just so shit.
-
Fuck me these have had some luck tonight. Surely it will even out in the second leg.
-
It's a shit competition any way.
-
4-2 down, and all the way back to fucking Olsen.
-
I’ll be the first to say Emi would have saved that
-
I know it might be harsh but that view behind Olsen makes me think that he should still do better.
-
Olsen wtf
He's much improved, apparently.
I must be hallucinating all the 2s, 3s and now 4s conceded when he plays.
It's like having no keeper at all.
-
that was awful goalkeeping. He could have caught that.
-
The whole stadium has gone flat….. unsurprisingly.
-
We have blown it. Absolutely fucking blown it
-
Just need to get one back tonight, these aren't that good.
-
I know it might be harsh but that view behind Olsen makes me think that he should still do better.
Irish commentator thinks he should have gotten his hand to it and pushed it around the post.
-
Maybe FV is right and we'll see a certain third keeper.
-
Just need to get one back tonight, these aren't that good.
Still slipped 4 past us
-
Just need to get one back tonight, these aren't that good.
Exactly and they ahve scored 4 thats the worrying thjng
-
To go 2-0 down was pathetic- to then concede 2 more after getting to 2-2 is bordering on unprofessional.
-
Have to say it, Emi saves that second, and he saves the fourth, too.
-
Chaos panda will save us!
-
Olsen wtf
He's much improved, apparently.
I must be hallucinating all the 2s, 3s and now 4s conceded when he plays.
It's like having no keeper at all.
10 goals conceded in 2 and a half games now.
-
This feels so much like the Newcastle game at the start of the season. We've made mistakes but literally everything they've tried has gone for them.
-
Just need to get one back tonight, these aren't that good.
I agree. A combination of their spawn and our incompetence has made them look better than they are.
We'll do them in Greece.
-
Get Duran AND Zaniolo on, let's go full batshit.
-
Just need to get one back tonight, these aren't that good.
Exactly and they ahve scored 4 thats the worrying thjng
They've had the ref and everything run for them at the right times.
-
To go 2-0 down was pathetic- to then concede 2 more after getting to 2-2 is bordering on unprofessional.
Completely agree paul
-
Have to say it, Emi saves that second, and he saves the fourth, too.
I agree. Olsen is beyond rubbish.
-
I know it might be harsh but that view behind Olsen makes me think that he should still do better.
Irish commentator thinks he should have gotten his hand to it and pushed it around the post.
Yeah, he sort of tries to wrist it up. Strange.
-
It's like the link between brain and feet stops working anytime we get into their box.
-
Olsen wtf
He's much improved, apparently.
I must be hallucinating all the 2s, 3s and now 4s conceded when he plays.
It's like having no keeper at all.
Nothing to do with Cash not pushing up, Luiz inexplicably handballing and a deflection. Apart from that, yeah Olsen to blame.
-
hit first time ollie
-
This is pathetic 😒
-
A goal back tonight and it's winnable out there
-
I’ve tried to be kind to Olsen and give him the benefit of the doubt where possible but he’s a walking disaster.
-
Rogers off for panda
-
I’ve tried to be kind to Olsen and give him the benefit of the doubt where possible but he’s a walking disaster.
His wrists are as strong as lettuce
-

It was an unfortunate set of circumstances, but Emi would have saved that. And the second.
-

Crisp packet hands
-

I dunno, I think Martinez might have stopped one but he'd be saving us from our own players, who have been pretty rubbish in defence tonight.
-
Have to say it, Emi saves that second, and he saves the fourth, too.
Think he saves three of them, TBH.
And probably saves the two on Sat.
-
Olsen wtf

That can all be true and Olsen still be poor.
-
Always said Olsen is a two goal handicap.
-
Olsen concedes 4
Coincidence?
-
Have to say it, Emi saves that second, and he saves the fourth, too.
I agree. Olsen is beyond rubbish.
The worlds number 1 would make saves? Shame he was banned AND injured for this match then.
-
Neither team has bothered with a defence and the ref has been shite. But top marks to Olsen, you know there’ll be goals when he’s playing.
-
Rogers to be subbed? Surely not.
-
I still don't think this is a 2-4 performance.
-
The best keeper in the world is more likely to save stuff other keepers won't, he's still conceded loads though.
-
Lets get one back and throttle them at their dump.
-
Olsen concedes 4
Coincidence?
No.
This needs to be his last appearance . There's a reason why Everton and Sheff Utd bombed him out .
-
Konsa has been as shit as Olsen
-
Lets get one back and throttle them at their dump.
Yep, Irish commentators saying the same.
-
Olsen's been better than Luiz today.
-
Konsa has been as shit as Olsen
There have been a few particularly rotten individual performances, but as a team, we've been really disappointing.
-
Even UE has sat down and given up.
-
It's not just the saves. With Martinez our whole shape is better, we're so much more secure playing the ball out. There's no more important keeper to his side probably in the top 5 European leagues.
-
I still don't think this is a 2-4 performance.
Same. We could easily be 3-1 up or 4-0 down. Not massive margins between anything that's happened.
-
Unai didn't do enough crosses. God is punishing him.
-
Konsa has been as shit as Olsen
There have been a few particularly rotten individual performances, but as a team, we've been really disappointing.
So have McGinn, Luiz. All through the centre.
-
Emery looks beyond fucked off
-
Unai didn't do enough crosses. God is punishing him.
And all of us too for daring to believe that we were favourites to win this competition.
-
Konsa has been as shit as Olsen

Piss poor all round.
-
Nobody marked Podence all night long . Tactical failure .
-
Do we water the pitch so our own players can’t stand up?
-
Emery looks beyond fucked off
I thought that too.
Couple of goals will soon brighten his mood!
-
1st time ive seen unai he looks defeated at how fucking nad we have been and blown this.
Absolute collapse. Im greek and im fucking stunned we are losing this 4-2
-
Olsen's been better than Luiz today.
Yep. Olsen is second choice to the best player in that position in the world. But Luiz can have no excuse. He isn't even doing the basics in midfield anymore. If we can only get the best from him when other players are around him, especially when Tielemans showed he could do the job there with the same players missing, then sell him.
-
Damage limitation now.
Just don't get any more injuries.
But if you do get sent off (and this ref is bursting to do it) fucking lamp him. Won't help our cause for tonight, admittedly. But might be an attitude adjuster for this sap.
-
Good save Olsen
-
The pressure is all on them at home. We score early and they will feel it.
-
When we lose we lose badly
-
Nearly 5, well saved Olsen.
-
Im fucking furious. Not even trying to get one back
-
Penalty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Zaniolo worldie incoming
-
Penalty to Villa.
-
I can't look!
-
So, is our night summed up here?
-
Im fucking furious. Not even trying to get one back
I haven't got the energy mate.
We're still in this.
-
Olsen's been better than Luiz today.

If we can only get the best from him when other players are around him, especially when Tielemans showed he could do the job there with the same players missing, then sell him.
Pretty much our only really good performances this calendar year have been the two games where he was missing, Arse away and Bournemouth at home.
-
Pen !!!
-
You’ve got to give it to Duran, he does have a habit of making something happen.
-
I wouldn't have been worried of Luiz taking it any other time.
-
Fucking make up for your fuck up Doug
-
Doug has a chance to make amends
-
I wouldn't have been worried of Luiz taking it any other time.
even
I just said the same
-
Missed
-
Unreal
-
Fucking hell sake
-
Oh my god
-
No surprise. He wants out.
-
That’s when you fucking make it’s not going to happen
-
Just fuck off luiz
-
You useless wanker. Fuck off, and never come back. twat.
-
Why am I not surprised.
-
Not even tried tonight. Luiz looks pissed. Dreadfully all round.
-
Dougie. That’s a horrible performance. What’s up?
-
All that delay killed him
-
Oh Douggie
-
can't make this shit up.
-
Indicative of the last few days.
-
You bottled it doug
-
Well done Doug, fucking hell.
-
Zaniolo and Tim on
-
That...is fucking insane.
Sorry guys, Doug's cursed and so's the night.
-
Watkins to break his leg on 90 mins.
-
No surprise. He wants out.
That's nonsense.
-
All that delay killed him
No, I don't think that is it.
-
This has been utterly fucking disgraceful.
-
You useless wanker. Fuck off, and never come back. twat.
Nice.
-
Drop luiz should never have been bought back
-
Well at least Spurs lost. Everything else has gone to shit tonight.
-
No , he's head isn't right . Looks drained .
-
Quality gamesmanship from the ref and the Greeks there. Well played.
-
PATHETIC!
-
The shit-housery didn't help, but we benefit from that with Martinez, so it is what it is.
Its just not our night, other than the Spurs result...
-
Fuckin hell, these are the jacksiest gits ever. They're winning 4-2 and they absolutely don't deserve it.
-
When we’re talking about the handball for their penalty, notice that the ref waved away two handball contacts by the same player before giving the foul on Duran. This is is exactly what I mean about the decision making.
-
You useless wanker. Fuck off, and never come back. twat.
And that's nonsense too.
-
Biggest bottle job performance since we came back to PL.
-
You useless wanker. Fuck off, and never come back. twat.
Nice.
And you can fuck off as well.
-
His run up was odd
-
I'm sure he tried to miss the penalty.
-
Fuckin hell, these are the jacksiest gits ever. They're winning 4-2 and they absolutely don't deserve it.
I dunno if they deserve a two goal lead or to have scored 4 times, but fuck me, they've been better than us, just like Lille were.
-
Next week's game is going to be extremely juicy.
-
You useless wanker. Fuck off, and never come back. twat.
Nice.
And you can fuck off as well.
Let’s all fuck off!
-
Next week's game is going to be extremely juicy.
Fuck me they totally got in Doug’s head then
-
Doug is on his way out. I have no doubt.
-
I'd have let Duran or Bailey take it, Luiz is just woefully out of form
-
You useless wanker. Fuck off, and never come back. twat.
Nice.
And you can fuck off as well.
How about you stop being a giant baby and calm down?
-
You useless wanker. Fuck off, and never come back. twat.
Nice.

Showing your true colours there, just like the petulant child you are.

Lads calm down .

No, I don't think that is it.
You think it was intentional?
-
After tonight we may need to hope Spurs keep losing.
-
Guys, look at us, squabbling, bickering, like children. What's happening to us? We never used to be like this!
-
Next week's game is going to be extremely juicy.
Is it? Its gonna be even tougher than 2nite. We absolutely bottled this
-
I'm fucked off
-
Guys, look at us, squabbling, bickering, like children. What's happening to us? We never used to be like this!
We did. It’s the match thread.
-
Guys, look at us, squabbling, bickering, like children. What's happening to us? We never used to be like this!
Yes we did
-
Doug is on his way out. I have no doubt.
He looked terrified taking that pen.
-
Why are people insinuating Luiz is sabotaging us?
-
C’mon. We’ve been good when we’ve been on it. There’s no way we can’t get two or more over there. We look exhausted. We can do this!
-
Guys, look at us, squabbling, bickering, like children. What's happening to us? We never used to be like this!
Oh yes we did.
-
Guys, look at us, squabbling, bickering, like children. What's happening to us? We never used to be like this!
Hah!
-
After tonight we may need to hope Spurs keep losing.
To be honest, we are nowhere near good enough for the Champions League. The only saving grace is the money it’ll bring in if we finish 4th.
We’re flailing, losing players to injuries, or fatigue. Or whatever is affecting Dougie right now.
We don’t have it in the team to play Champions League yet.
-
Next week's game is going to be extremely juicy.

Just play all the kids, the tie's gone. Make sure we get over the line in the league at least.
-
This tie is not over.
-
Christ, we still need to play a second leg of this
-
Absolutely piss poor from start to finish, we just sat and watched them waltz around us like we weren't there for most of the match. Scored a couple after a couple of moments of individual brilliance, and yeah, we miss the best keeper in the world, but then again, who wouldn't.
The fact is, we've just let olympiacos come here and score four times. That's just not good enough.
-
Fuck off ref, that's a foul on Watkins.
-
Doug is on his way out. I have no doubt.
He looked terrified taking that pen.
The ref lost control and let them delay things for far too long.
-
Next week's game is going to be extremely juicy.
I doubt it. About from Hibs and Alkmar we’ve not won any games away from home in Europe this season. Certainly not with a goal deficit
-

So we can get into the Champions League, and at least look shit against teams you'd expect us to look shit against.

Fuck off
-
I was giving the ref the benefit of the doubt but that was blatant on Watkins and waved away… bad fucking day.
-
Obviously saving ourselves for the Brighton match
-
Fuck off ref, that's a foul on Watkins.
You fark off.
-
Too many injuries to change it up really. How much longer until FT? Please someone make it stop
-
Bad games happen.
We're good enough to turn this round next week.
Its Olympiakos not fucking Real Madrid.
I'll quote this post next week when we're through to the final.
-
My god these European refs are fucking shit.
-
All that delay killed him
No, I don't think that is it.
You think it was intentional?
Not saying intentional, just lazy like most of his performances the last few months.

Only five fucking minutes!

Not saying intentional, just lazy like most of his performances the last few months.
But you stated he's on his way out
-
Watching commentary on YouTube with chat on. The bluescum out in force. Twats

This is how the lack of a Tyrone you silly tall bastard hurts us.
-
You useless wanker. Fuck off, and never come back. twat.
Nice.

Let’s all fuck off!
Fuck off!
Fuck me!!

Nice run from Tim there.

Fuck me!!
Fuck it all
-
We can still do this.
-
Crazy, chaotic game but we’re not out of it yet.
-
Digne has been shite.
-
Tim doing well
-
We're doing now what we should have been doing all game, lashing the ball into the box and crowding out the keeper. Too little too late.
-
Watching commentary on YouTube with chat on. The bluescum out in force. Twats
Serves you right for having chat on, youtube chat is an absolute cesspit.
-
We can still do this.
No doubt about it.
-
We can still do this.
Fucking hell if legion believes we all should
-
How have we made a notoriously dull side and a dull AF footballing nation look good tonight.
Well played to all involved.
-
The bwst chance of a trophy and we choked. Typical villa
-
They will score over there so we will need three at least.
-

I know. Missus has gone to bed as my language was a bit tropical
-
Remember Tranmere!!!!
-
This tie is nowhere near over.
Agreed. Their keeper is flappy, for a start. We can score a few over there.
Problem is, we look increasingly fucking knackered with every game.
-
Nice run from Tim there.
Cheers .
-
We can still do this.
Agree Lee. I still think we can do it out there.
-
Next week, If we play like we have tonight… we’ll be toasted.
-
Dougie scores that and I we am sure we score again now just treading water
-
The shit-housery didn't help, but we benefit from that with Martinez, so it is what it is.
Its just not our night, other than the Spurs result...
We do - but then he got 2 yellow cards and is suspended for this game & had somehow sullied his win in the last round. Whereas in the case if Olympicos ‘their mind games worked’ - so that’s alright then. The way their player just danced around in front of the ref when he was asked to behave before that pen - is that behaviour Emi gets away with?
-
Ollie just got through and defended his chance incredibly with that tackle….
-
Yes, sadly we don’t keep clean sheets very often
-
The bwst chance of a trophy and we choked. Typical villa
Pretty sure I asked you to shut up earlier but clearly you can’t help yourself
-
How shit is Lenglet. .
-
This has been an extraordinarily weird disaster.
-
FT
-
The bwst chance of a trophy and we choked. Typical villa
Pretty sure I asked you to shut up earlier but clearly you can’t help yourself
He's Flin5tone 2.0 at this point. Only pipes up with shite.

They hardly ever lose over there in European competition apparently, so the team has to be at their absolute best.
-
FT
Thank fuck. I’m going to eat some crisps.
-
Thank fuck that shit is over...

How do you feel?

Unbelievable.

Stop talking shit
Ive been here every day son so dont make up crap
-
Yes, sadly we don’t keep clean sheets very often
Worse than that, we're needing threes or fours to have a chance of drawing lately.
-
Just shite all round. Ref rubbish. Luck rubbish. And we were not at it.
-
We can still do this.
This.
I simply cannot believe people are throwing the towel in already.
-
luis rubbish again
-
2-0 down at HT. Surely we can’t be this bad again?
-
How do you feel?
Like we had a chance at an open goal and yet somehow managed to kick the ball backwards?
-
All that delay killed him
No, I don't think that is it.
You think it was intentional?
Not saying intentional, just lazy like most of his performances the last few months.
But you stated he's on his way out
Because I wonder if he is. When other players have been poor, we have had a reaction. But we have had nothing from Luiz. I would have though having the two games "rest" might have done something, but no. The same languid player not doing well in attack and very very poor in defence. His tremendous passing has gone, and now his penalties. It was just lucky that he decided he wanted a two match rest with his 10th yellow, which I remind you was an un-needed challenge right at the end of the match because we wouldn't have won those two with him in midfield.

Some of the comments on here are fucking embarrassing…..

Someone needs to report XXX to the club. Used the text service but got nothing. Calling away fans Muslim ******, calling Luis a ****** non stop, calling him a black ******. Threatening to knock out a fellow fan who laughed at him in the concourse all while his teenage daughter was sat in front. I'll give them a call but if anyone could report on social media (I'm not on anything), that would be great.
Edit: I'm more than happy to speak with the club if anyone gets a reply.
Edited to avoid any problems by identifying him publicly.

A small step backwards tonight but this season has been a massive step forwards. Do the business on Sunday and fourth place is ours . Onwards and upwards.
-
How do you feel?
Like we had a chance at an open goal and yet somehow managed to kick the ball backwards?
About right. I'm pretty pissed of with that performance. I just want up to win anything at this point.

You're a good man and despite the defeat tonight you've demonstrated why I'm proud to be a Villa fan.

You speak the most shit on this site yet you are preaching to me about talking shit.
Absolutely hilarious, seriously laughable
I would recommend you apply for a role at talksport as you would turn all the listeners off and that might help get rid of it
