To get CL on awards night was probably the second best way of doing it then on the pitch. It meant the club could all celebrate together at a time when partying late has been taken into account of anyway.

Our CEO on my organisations weekly catchup started the call by congratulating "me" on Champions League Qualification.
He said, there's your annual leave done from September to December.

Smethwick and Small Heath very quiet today. I had a few snarky messages when we went out the ECL last week, but nowt now...strange.

I was 8 weeks & 3 days old when we last won it. 42 now. Chuffed to bits, it's nice to be back where we belong.

Haha, we have a sofa bed and air mattress in our apartment. If we make it to the final, party at mine, I'm sure my wife won't mind ...

When you think there are possibly 2 generations of fans who have never seen us in Europe's premier team competition! Come on Villa!

Interesting seeing players like Digne, Cash, and Carlos celebrating last night. They're players a lot assume will leave, or should leave in the summer. They may not even get to play CL for us. You'd think at this point in the season they'd have been made aware of Uni's plans for them. Maybe they're all staying?

It will probably be classed as small time thinking, but I won't be fussed at not progressing past the league stages this year.

Next year we should look at consolidating / improving on 4th and maybe a domestic trophy as a priority. It is a waste of this season if we don't qualify again next season. I don't want us to be seen as a Newcastle or Leicester, but as a team that consistently is in it and progressing the team through to be able to compete in the knock-out rounds. It took City/Guardiola with their resources almost 8 years to win it.

Even if they do leave (and I don't think any of them will), pretty much every one of their contracts will probably have a "qualifying for the Champions League" bonus in it.

And they're celebrating their professional achivement. Chambers looked to be having a lovely old time as well, and there's no chance he's going to be playing any Champions League football for us.
