Europa League draw friday 12.30

[Grande Pablo]

It means nothing to me.

Ah, thanks for that Ads.  As I posted earlier, my laptop crashed as we were being drawn (is that a sign?) so missed all that.

[Somniloquism]

Well at least all the female fans will get a good eyeful of all that Austrian flesh on show during the syncronised chanting.

Flights coming in at £170 area from Brum to Vienna but thats with stop over in Zurich and also shite flight time coming back (6:55am). Can fly direct from Gatwick with Easyjet, same price, good times.

Anyone else found anything?

Villa website seems to think away leg first, no mention of possible swap.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Quite pleased with the draw. Wanted to avoid a trip to Russia and Maritimo.

Would have preferred TNS, but ah well.

Will be fun seeing their mental fans again too.

Choreographed tossers.

[Toronto Villa]

I hope our players are more optimistic that some of you lot. We got beaten last year. So what? That was last year, and it's Rapid Vienna, not Real Madrid. This is a great opportunity for us to make things right.

[olaftab]

Pleased it's Rapid. Had to pull out last year from making the trip due to a friend's funeral. Looking forward to it .

So does this mean we will get man u in the 2 cups as well?

[The Man With A Stick]

So we're playing the same team, with probably the same players (except Milner), at the same ground on the same night as last year?  I'll be at Reading festival again, watching it on same TV in the same pub, probably standing in the exact same spot at the bar.

So much for progress.

Dunne, Collins, Warnock?

Dunne, Collins, Warnock?

Of course, we signed them after that didn't we.  It's still an odd coincidence.

[PaulTheVillan]

Isn't it something like an extra 19 games if you want to win this competition?

Knowing MON the twat he'd play the same 11 with his precious Cuellar, Heskey, Petrov and Downing for every game.

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Moan moan bloody moan. Its just the luck of the draw, but hey lets blame Martin bloody ONeill for us getting Rapid bloody Vienna again.

[PaulTheVillan]

Agreed.
