The good thing about hubris is that it's a really old word, and never gets used anymore.

It's like the trope of the Jairmans putting towels on sun loungers, only the Jairmans are Villa fans and the sunloungers are Greek hotel rooms.

I wonder who's going to get the trophy and date of the final with "Winners - Aston Villa" tatooed on their leg first?

How Villa would it be to fail to qualify for the group stages?

The night we are knocked out (if) then Booking.com will be hit with a cancellation flood they have never experienced before :)

They'd have a proper badge conundrum, mind.

Credit to any Paide fan who made it from Estonia to the Faroe Islands tonight for their goalless draw against B36 in the Europa Conference League.
Reminds me of sitting on a coach from Villa Park to Bordeaux for 17 hours each way for a nil nil.

Respect that postcode knowledge Chris, and we'd batter them for what it's worth

It also covers Smith's Wood, Bromford, and Hodge Hill.

The Faroese league also has teams called B68 and B71.

Now they have a badge we can get behind. Can't worry about where a lion is facing if it's all letters.

Went to my local teams first qualifying round 1st leg tonight, 1~1 draw . Used to be known as Bridgend Town, but following a merger a few years ago now play under their Welsh name of Pen-y-Bont in the JD Welsh Premier. First ever game in Europe tonight, ground not conforming to UEFA standards so played at Bridgend RFC. As UEFA rules state all seating, a capacity of 1410 there which for a tiny South wales town was a great atmosphere.
Take the tie away to Santa Coloma in Andorra next week.

Hoping for some more success in a few more qualifiers to get the Villa down here !!
