Aston Villa v Bayern Munich Pre Match Thread

I expect our museums don't mention 2000 or 2015 much either.

We blew our wad on the Niklaus Helenius Experience.

Understandable. His shorts being ripped off him by another sportsman, from Tottenham Hotspurts FC in fact, was quite exciting.

Looking on their forums they see us as a bit of a curiosity. They seem a bit concerned about Watkins but don't really mention anyone other than Martinez.

Do they have anyone who remembers '82 and is still grumpy about it or are they all nouvea-yanitedy fans?

When I worked at BHX I spoke to a few of their supporters. They still remember. One bloke said, "And in this city I do not talk about football. "

Visit their museum at the Allianz and you'll find absolutely zero reference to 1982.

I imagine they had a capacity issue to include this alongside the 33 league titles, 20 german cups, 6 european cups and the like.

According to one of their forums Kane didn't train yesterday but has today.

He'll be on the bench saving him for the weekend. Their focus is winning the league not the CL.

It does, it just says they were unlucky and by far the better team.

Anyone caught themselves randomly whistling the CL tune?

Whistling on a Tuesday? Oooh, you barstard!

[Brend'Watkins]

I'm going tomorrow but being honest I can say I'm not too bothered about it. Put it this way, I have been more looking forward to our league games so far and see Sunday's game as more important. I may attend the Juve game, I may not.  I shouldn't feel this way but I do.

This is exactly the right way to feel about it. These games are a fun event. The league is the serious business

To be fair they are right on both counts but that’s football.

Even with us in the Champions League, I can’t stand that dirge of an anthem.

I agree, we should save our energy in the Champions League games and put all our effort into the League games so that we can qualify for the Champions League again next season.
