UEFA Europa Conference League-Knockout stages (Olympiacos)

[Meanwood Villa]

Is the first leg now on Weds, April 10th?

Where are you getting this from?

[eamonn]

I hope it's true and not BV's impish humour and word-play. We need all the non-Thursday games we can get.

Nowhere official, just a text from a mate. He may be under the impression that Arsenal are playing Bayern on the following Tuesday, thus meaning that we can't move the game with them on Sat. April 13th.

Thanks for confirming although like Eamonn, I would have welcomed a move to a Weds. for whatever reason.

[Toronto Villa]

We will get to see Jonathan David up close now. He’s a threat. 14 goals in 25 games this season. He’s no Ollie Watkins but he’s good.

I was just about to book on Steve Gough's coach to Lille. Having done Legia, Alkmaar and Ajax away a ticket is secure.

I was just about to pay him and then I realised the date after the away leg rang a bell!

It's only my fucking driving test date.

And with the COVID backlog they are like gold dust!

Fuck!!

With that in mind I've booked Athens flights at £200 return (just incase) before those prices go through the roof!

Do you know how much Goughie’s coach to Lille is please mate?

The Arsenal away game currently programmed for the Saturday will be moved to the Sunday as Arsenals Bayern games have been programmed for the Tuesday and following Wednesday.

Driving Test? So are you sure Athens trip won’t clash with your A levels? 😂

[olaftab]

Away on 18th. Eurostar to Lille booked😊

Hopefully see you in Athens mate, like the glory supporter I am 😂

Hotel room is booked in Athens, from the last day of last season

You're so slick Olaftab I didn't even get the chance to tell you two to get a room.

😂
There is lot of previous between me and Axl and I am worried now it may come out once I am in charge of UEFA😳

Finally, a player with the potential to rival McCarthy, Juninho and Palmer in the "forever linked-to Villa" stakes.

BBC doing their research...

Villa have never previously met Lille but have picked up two wins, two losses and two draws when facing French opposition in European competition.

[London Villan]

Were the Intertoto games classed as proper competitive matches?

[PeterWithesShin]

It was a UEFA competition when we played in it so no reason they wouldn't be.

[VillaTim]

Were the Intertoto games classed as proper competitive matches?

I would expect so, yes.
