Basically complimentary towards us and say will be a tough game. Great to see for me 😁

Do you support a Greek team as well then, mate?

When I lived on Kos back in 2003/04, I met a lot of Olympiakos fans, but there were more Panathinaikos, and a good serving of AEK. At work, everyone was AEK apart from one PAOK nutter.

I loved him to be fair, and watched our 5-2 Carling Cup defeat to Bolton with him. He threw a mini palm tree type plant over the bar at the Man Utd (cheering for Bolton) supporting barman.

We weren't allowed back in for the second leg

I like the cut of his Jib.

He was superb mate.

Our collective behaviour was appalling. I look back and chuckle.

My nerves are kicking in this morning. Come on, Villa!!

Yeah pal. I follow olympiakos funny enough but i want villa to win tonight =)

Kos i havent been yet butvim planning to go for sure. Im more greek from cyprus but have greek in greece relatives too.

As you may have noticed when you live there, they love their football and basketball. They are a nutty bunch but generally very good despite the few hooligans they have like most clubs.

Panathinaikos for me, love a bit of Horto Magiko.

 Has been confirmed that Youri and Moreno is out but not heard anything about Zaniolo

We really are struggling player wise now.

Hope Youri is back for Brighton and especially P.lop

Have any blues fans been filming themselves teaching our visitors to sing their little songs yet?

This is  a big deal over in greece. They are taking this game very seriously.  We need to have a lead as they are going to go all out next week as its their chance of a european trophy in greece.

Huge game tonight

He said Zaniolo could be available.

"The club would kindly ask that supporters refrain from bringing flares/pyrotechnics to Villa Park on Thursday.

The support for the team arrival and atmosphere created by fans at the previous two games has been outstanding and greatly appreciated by the players, management and everyone at Aston Villa.

However, smoke dispersing from the pyrotechnic devices has caused visibility issues for the team bus approaching the stadium and there have been multiple instances of breathing difficulties amongst fans and club staff.

We very much hope together we can create another memorable atmosphere for the players' arrival on Thursday, but we encourage you to please consider the safety and well-being of others so that everyone can enjoy the experience."

Is that like the NextGen?

Did the Greek FA give Olympiacos the weekend off like France did Lille?

They played Sunday just gone, don't play again until after the 2nd leg.
Don't know if games were put off to accomodate this.
