Villa Park Redevelopment

[algy]

Even in 83 I can remember our supporters calling the UEFA Cup the Losers’ Cup so it’s a natural reaction after seeing such riches the year before.

It might be a generational thing.  Some of my favourite Villa memories are UEFA cup matches in the 90s when I was 20ish years old.  Phil King v Inter Milan springs to mind.

Consequently, I have a soft spot for the randomness of the Europa compared to the bling and predictability of the Champions League.

Yeah, was going to say that the 1990/91 season home game against Inter was one of my favourite games ever.  Seeing Jurgen Klinsmann, Lothar Matthäus, and Andreas Brehme at a point when I was utterly besotted with the West Germany national side was amazing.  Even more so because we beat them 2-0

I forgot about the Bilbao fans in 1998(?).  I think that’s my favourite football day.

I imagine, one day soon, the conference league will be seen as a burden, but I wouldn’t tell a West Ham fan that.  In fact europe is probably a better opportunity for a trophy than the our domestic competitions.

Yeah that was a brilliant day/night. Spent the afternoon drinking with their fans on Broad St.

Bilbao fans were class. Had a load in the King Edward swapping scarves and joining in with It's up to you Dwight Yorke.

Paul Birch totally outclassed Matthaus that day. But he was an amazing player,and I also really liked that Germany team. What a fab night that was
