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

[jon collett]

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.

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.

Out of date info, soz.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.

No worries!

Spurs last two games include Man City likely winning the title against them.

Burnley & Sheff Utd games .

They play Man City at home in between those 2 games.

Yeah it got rescheduled finally. My point remains they have 2 easier games in the last 3 and the last day is a certain 3 points so we need it done before then .

Have you not learned anything about Spurs? The team that followed up a 4-0 win at Villa Park by a battering at Fulham. I would much rather points in the bag than the run in they have coming up.

It's years of following Villa that has made me like this. All the false dawns. Must be PTSD .

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 !

Fuck yes. Get the job done!

Burnley are battling like fuck, with something to play for.

Brighton, on the other hand, are on the (conveniently handily located) beach. I'd much rather be playing Brighton than Burnley in the run-in.

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

Head: Uncontrollable weeping.

This is an unbelievable percentage of my life.

We battered fucking Brighton Small Heath-style 6-1 last time we played them when they were still half decent, they're like Derby when we came up, the side you'd want to face above all others.

Zaniolo looks likely to be available tomorrow.

Get him in on the left (he had a good game there holding the ball up last time out), Rogers behind Watkins, Bailey on right and Mcginn Luiz in middle. Diaby from the bench at one point.

[Brazilian Villain]

Some people seem determined to jinx our Brighton result, before we've even played Olympiacos.

A lot of the time it’s just bravado. Any Villa fan will know we’re not in any position to take anything for granted after the past 44 years. I always feel the best way to behave after success is to remain humble, I think this is one of the most endearing qualities of our manager 🙏🏼

[LeeB]

Yes, humble is important, I like to think I'm the most humble person in the world.

[Brend'Watkins]

Seen the Olympiacos team coach with 2 other tour busses about 45mins ago around the entrance to the Belfry. I guess that’s their base.

I've told you a million times, DO NOT EXAGGERATE

Did you take some fireworks 👀

Bar none, I am the most humble-est
Number one at the top of the humble list
My apple crumble is by far the most crumble-est
But I act like it tastes bad outta humbleness

The thing about me that's so impressive
Is how infrequently I mention all of my successes
I pooh-pooh it when girls say that I should model
My belly's full from all the pride I swallow
