Just as our fans abroad head for the nearest Irish or English looking pub do you think Bayern fans will amass inside and outside Albert's Schloss this afternoon?

Thought I saw Thomas Muller in Town, on closer inspection and a quick Google it turned out to be his brother.

Is the Bierkeller still open or did it shut in something like 1995 and no-one told me?

Can't wait for KO, if somebody had told me, after the Fulham debacle on 20 Oct 22, we would be playing Bayern Munich at VP in the CL in less than 2 years time, I would have told them to get an appointment urgently with a doctor, a massive thank to you Unai, for making the impossible happen.

With Liverpool playing I have no chance of watching it even here in Oxfordshire.

On the train from Leicester to Brum with a load of Bayern fans. Guess they may have flown in to East Midlands?

OK, so how many of you are going to take one for the H&V team and watch Leipzig v Juve instead, for scouting purposes?

On this very date six years ago, an Aston Villa fan decided to vent his frustrations at his side's 3-3 draw with Preston by throwing a cabbage at the then-Villa boss Steve Bruce.

After the incident Bruce said that he felt all the decisions he had made during that campaign had been "questioned" by fans and that what he had "witnessed in the stadium was not right".

"The guy who is being questioned, unfortunately, it sums up the society we are in at the moment. There's no respect for anyone," said Bruce.

"I find the whole thing hugely disrespectful."

He added: "The one thing I've always had is the determination to roll up my sleeves and get stuck in. I'll always have a go."

Villa found themselves 12th in the Championship table having won only one of their last nine league games.

Six years on, they are tonight preparing for their first Champions League match on home soil since the 1982-83 quarter-finals against Juventus.

Just went to the shop and the guy serving me, he barely usually looks up, asked me if I was going to the game - I had my Villa top on. I said yeah and he looked excited for me. Said he thinks we’ll win 2-1, with goals from Tielemans and Watkins.

So there you have it.

Stansted apparently. They quite rightly, are extremely unimpressed with British trains. Let’s hope their day doesn’t get any better.

I am really nervous not about the game just about not getting a pasting.
Konsa RB, Carlos CB, what could possibly go wrong

Glen Whelan's part is so underrated. Had he converted the penalty that night, Bruce may have still been at the club for a few more weeks.
