Villa Park will be rocking next week. I'm really excited at the prospect of being in this competition, so let's hope the boys get the job done.

I want it to be Sheff United type of atmosphere and result. That was a fun day

Just thinking if you’d told me we would be finishing 15 points ahead of Chelsea this season……

Where is the Conference final year?

This year it’s in Prague in a woefully under capacity stadium for a European final. Next year it’s at the Aviva in Dublin.

No, the Europa League final is in Dublin this year and, as Lee points out, the Europa Conference League final is in Athens next year. Looks a nice, modern stadium but its capacity is only 32,500.

We will finish at least 15 points ahead of Chelsea.

And it’s  lucky for Athens it’s not Leeds as another million will turn up for the final.

Or Blues after the number they took over to Bruges that once.  Not sure Birmingham airport would be able to cope with those kind of numbers.

Athens eh? I'm 53 and I've never flown, although I've been to 7 European countries. Guess I'll have to get a 'chute, as I'm not driving there....

Not sure if it’s been mentioned but it’s looking like there will be 5 English teams playing in the Champions League from 2024/25 onwards.

I’ve seen a few people mention us trying to crack the top 4 next season but in reality top 5 should be enough, and obviously feels more achievable.

Right now I wouldn’t rule out top 1

Mate at best, at their very best they will draw against Oilacity.
