Champions League

[Brazilian Villain]

loving the new Aston Villa video posted by the club.

Looks great, love the title and look forward to seeing Scarlett Johansson in the Terrace View next season.

Love it. Hopefully people will catch on to the facts that a) Peaky Blinders was based on a gang led by a bloke from Aston, Billy Kimber, who was portrayed as a cockney in the show because that knobhead Steven Knight wanted to crowbar Small Heath into a story in which they had no part; and b) BZ was the only real Brummie in the first series and was a proud Villa fan.

Spot on.

That video looked like a deliberate attempt to reclaim the word Birmingham from The Rags and their ridiculous statements, featuring that suspension of reality to paint them as the only club in the City.

Liked it a lot. Even Gabby came across ok

If we play on a Wednesday, would the Saturday game be moved to a Sunday? Im guessing Tuesday games wouldn't be?

We played on Thursday's and then played on Sunday, playing on Wednesday and then Saturday is the same amount of rest. No doubt some may get moved but it won't be a definite.

[Drummond]

Sorry, but is this the way to Barcelona?

[Nev]

One of the reasons I was so delighted with our qualification was the likelihood of more Saturday games.

[PeterWithesShin]

We'll always be a Saturday before a Tues CL game.

Nope, Lazio or Roma this way mate.

Updated predicted pots:



Could end up with eight games against Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Juventus, AC Milan, Celtic, Galatasaray and Monaco.

(or in less glamorous news, Leipzig, Roma, Club Brugge, Shakhtar, Young Boys, PAOK, Brest and Sturm Graz).

I think it's the same way until you get to Lyon, then you diverge.
