Aston Villa v Olympiacos - UECL Semi Final First Leg Pre Match

[wince]

Feel really positive about this. Even if we don’t win or get CL we are back in Europe next year anyways with Europa. Nice we can be looking up for once not down. I never thought we would ever get out of the championship at one point

[The Man With A Stick]

I'd much rather win a European trophy then the League Cup. I have no idea who the previous winners of the LC are apart from us. I can't even remember who won it last year.

They probably can't remember it either.

ECL > LC all day long for me.

What a big big double bubble day tomorrow could be.
A big win at Villa Park and we can have one foot in a European final.
If Chelsea (23 points in the last 10 at home ) beat Spurs (10 points in their last 10 away) we are 7 points ahead and they have just 1 game in hand.

 I cannot remember in my time a day when we could make  major progress on two fronts simultaneously.
You probably have to go right back to 1897 when Bury beat Derby for us to secure the league then later the same day we won the FA Cup beating Everton.

Come on you Lions !

Zaniolo looks likely to be available tomorrow.

You qualify for one as a reward for wining the other, so it's pretty obvious which is more significant.

Winning the EFL Cup qualifies for Europa League.

Only one team from major nations can go into ECL. It was designed like this to give smaller nations more chance.

Not only are you wrong in general, you're wrong about the issue you've tried to pull me up on.

Heart: YES! COME ON YOU FUCKING VILLA BOYS, LET'S FUNERAL THESE MOTHERFUCKERS! THIS IS OUR DAY!

Head: Uncontrollable weeping.

I think the league cup should do something to change its image.

If they insist on having a sponsors name on it, then they should at least try to partner with a brand that helps set them apart.

I’d love to see as the Durex Cup, the Anusol Cup, or even the Peek Freans Trotsky Assortment Cup.

Out of date info, soz. The reason we're in it is because Man Utd qualified for the Champs League and the place dropped to league positions.
