Aston Villa v HŠK Zrinjski Mostar Pre-Match Thread

[Richard E]

I want us to win against Wolves more than beating this lot.

Me too, on the basis that I don’t have an office full of HSK Zrinjski Mostar fans ready and waiting to give me stick if we lose to them.

[Smirker]

Due a win.

4-0 Villa.

FTF.

Zrinski have got 1190 tickets for the game. DE Upper by those numbers. Don’t know how many they’ve sold, so far. About 8k left in home areas.

[Brazilian Villain]

No idea what they're like, gone for a Villa win as VP is currently a fortress.

Question - when the group stages are done and knockouts start, are Conference and Europa games still on the same days/times as each other?

Irish TV are showing the Brighton and Liverpool games on their proper channels, Villa relegated to their stupid "bonus" channel you only get if they're your broadband provider.  Just wondering if it'll be that way for the whole competition. I only remember seeing the Conference final on TV last year.

[Legion]

0-2.

[Pete3206]

4 nil win

[Villafirst]

[Bad English]

4-0. See ya!

Zrinkski are currently 4th in the Bosnian League having won three in a row of their last five games.  One of those defeats was away at Sarajevo who are 2nd.  They have 16 goals for and 9 against.  Their playing style is usually to sit back and counter.  A classic European away side.

[Bad English]

Aston Villa are currently ace. A classic FTF side.

Aston Villa are currently ace. A classic FTF side.

I was thinking we should change the wording on the away changing rooms to 'Funeralees'

They'll remain on Thursday nights. During the group stage they are showing two English teams in each of the kick off slots available and I imagine they will try and maintain that for later rounds, assuming multiple English teams progress of course.

Better hope Brighton get knocked-out so. Advertisers must realise that there are at least 67 times more Villa fans in Ireland than B&H Albiyun.

[Olneythelonely]

Think I’d rest Diaby (after his knock) and one of Luiz/Kamara. Full strength other than that.

We’ll give them a 27-0 tonking
