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

[LeeS]

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.

If it has, I hope they dont make the final. They will have a backlog to make up. Just like we would have done.

Is the Villa match still on tonight? BBC sport and Talksport sound like there’s only one important game and that’s Chelsea v Spurs!

Virgin Media had our game listed with a photo of a Liverpool player. They've now replaced it with the station's logo, despite being able to find a photo for pretty much all their other shows tonight. https://www.virginmediatelevision.ie/tv-guide

The greeks are in the Champions / Relegations phase of their season now where they split the table and the top teams play only other teams in their own half. So potentially less games which allows them certain times off.

They're all a bunch of C*nts!  the longer we fly under the radar the better, and we'll suddenly kick them all in the balls!!

Just a reminder to 67/69 bus & 82 shuttle bus users that there may still be tunnel closures towards town from 10pm (like the Lille game!). Not 100% sure, can anyone confirm?

The bias is inbred. SSN  Premier League news says "Tottenham can cut gap to Aston Villa in 4th place to just 4 points with a win"  that shows emphasis of course on Tottenham to get 4th.

It shows emphasis on Tottenham, because it's being said in the context of them talking about the game Tottenham are playing in tonight.

If it were us playing, they'd say something like "Villa can extend the gap over fifth placed Tottenham to seven points". Sometimes these things aren't conspiracies.

They also don't have the rights to European Football and are showing the Spurs game, as a promotional channel and not a news channel they are naturally going to focus on that one and what the result means.

Why does anyone give a fuck what Sky say?

And it even more troubling to be mention this Spurs stuff above on the ASTON VILLA v Olympicao biggest European match in 40 years!
There other thread for that let's stick to our match here shall we!!!!! That's what people want to read and discuss here!
