Champions League - PSG

I'm absolutely certain that Dean Smith will be raising a glass or two at this point.

Yep and hopefully acknowledging the part he played in getting the club to this position.

Pivotal.

Delighted for everyone, obviously, but looking at Pau Torres celebrating in one of those videos I'm really glad for him that his move paid off. We were linked with many big name players last summer who apparently dismissed us out of hand, so for someone like Torres, who could have moved elsewhere at different times, to leave his boyhood club, and put his faith in Emery and buy into the vision he had, it's fantastic to see it rewarded.

I suppose the same goes for Diaby, but I didn't see him in the video.

Guess the ‘Thursday night’ song is a thing of the past for a while :-)

Made up as I was a baby the last time we were in it. I know we are unlikely to win it but to just be there and what it will do for the club. This is what we should be aiming for every year. Well done and what a season! What a week!

[Rory]

I’m proper emotional.
 No doubt after a good drink in Greece, but bloody hell. The actual champions league. Like, that one the top top clubs in Europe are in.
That now includes us. At long fucking last. It’s been a long time coming. Literally a generation. And in that time we’ve endured some awful times. Times that a club like us shouldn’t have to.  Two relegations since our last time in this competition (oh and two league cup wins as well)

Less than two years ago we were looking at a genuine relegation fight. The turnaround is ridiculous. But miraculous. This manager , is a God send. With our epic owners I hope we now build a dynasty.
My first game was 1982 ( glory hunter I know)

But for the first time in my adult life I can say this
“We’re back where we belong “.


Amazing achievement by every single part of Aston Villa.

I love this club.

So to blues , after Enckleman , fuck you ans your league 2 season.
To Wolves , and you “ mind the gap “ after a few season in the last 100 of being better than us , double “fuck you”
To the press , yes this “ little “ midlands club has upset your “big 6”, so fuck you as well.

Shout out to Dean Smith. He took over at a pivotal time. He made us believe. He brought us together.  He got us back to where we should be. And this team, is still mostly his team, so massive respect.

But Sir Unai Emery , you are something else. Please be with us for a generation. Be the next Feegie, Arsene or Pep. But just be here you lovely Spanish man you.

As for the Champions league next year……
Would you bet against us ?

And people consider me to be the late-night drunken poster...

Enjoy yourself, mate 😁

Steer, Uncle Albert, Chester risking his career, Hourihane, Tammy, Hutton, Jedi, Trez, AEG, just a few of the players no longer at the club that played their part in where we are now.

[Mellin]

Also, the reason we qualified:

Villa: City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool - 5 points
Spurs: City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool - 0 points

That's the difference. We did it with an empty tank too. Love them.

Oh what a night
We play Barca on a Wednesday night
Blues play Lincoln cos they're fucking shite
What a feeling what a night

[adrenachrome]

A phenomenal achievement.
Well done to everyone involved in the team, and the club.

Unai said we would impose our idea in the moment, and he knew what what he was talking about.

Not forgetting Super Jack.

Well done Villa on making the top 4. A fantastic achievement bearing in mind where we were just 19 months ago. Unai and his team are magicians and our team of players are a fantastic honest bunch. 10 points out of 18 against the 3 teams above us is a fantastic return and in itself justifies our position.
We’ve well and truly broken up the monopoly of the scab 6 in the pl and hopefully in the cl we can also do likewise with the super-league pretenders!
Go and get your 20th goal now Ollie vs Palace…you deserve it!

Only one of them fucked off because they thought they were too good for us.

Well done to every person that played their role in this - no matter how small - its something I never thought I would see.

Over the last five years some great people have done some great things for our club - and to see UCL football at Villa Park is something truly special. 

The players have left nothing on the pitch - and everyone of them has played their part.  Expect (nah only joking!!!)

Most of all - thanks must go to Unai - we are lucky enough to be in the presence of true greatness, and I feel lucky every game he is in our dugout!

I've had a shit workday - and still at it - once this sinks in I think ill be a bit emotional - I was last night.

It's been a privilege to witness this, be at the games, and share the experience with friends, family, and this forum. 

Officially this has now overtaken the 1992-3 season as my favorite supporting Villa - again, I never thought that would happen!

VTID!!
