Draw today - Fri - I presume? Am wondering if two draws will be made actually, such that we know which play-off tie's winners we will be playing
Play off round draw is Monday as someone else said. We can happily speculate about our fate until 23 February 2024 when all will be revealed (well last 16 draw anyway).
If we happen to be drawn away first gives us 13 days to sort tickets / travel / accommodation etc.

Yep, that 7 March game will be away so get your holidays booked and let’s hope for a draw where we get a decent allocation of tickets!

Went to Mostar on a wing and a prayer and not only managed to get in the stadium but in the Villa end too. Fantastic day yesterday, met loads of really sound Villa fans. Now to do touristy stuff in Herzegovina today, Bosnia tomorrow.

Some decent badges in there. I like Lille's.

What's that on Fenerbahce's? A weed?

Whenever I see the word Ghent - either the town or the eponymous football club - my internal jukebox queues up "Ain't Nothing Going On But the Rent Ghent" by Gwen Guthrie.

Supposedly because Buffalo Bill visited Gent the same year as they were being setup so they decided on the nickname "The Buffalos" and decided the Indian Chieftain in his shows embodied their spirit.

I didn't realise until today that Maccabi Tel Aviv's manager is Robbie Keane.

He did support them as a boy.

I always think of HMHB.  "So think on if your'e up against Gent"
