Brugge v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

Obviously it's not the most important thing, but how much money do we get for a win, compared to drawing the game? Isn't it quite a lot?

Nothing in the knockouts, just the prize for getting through (which would be €12.5m).

Fair enough. We'll just have to have that then.

And obviously co-efficient points for ourselves (good) but also for the association for 5th which if we aren't getting, I would like to not happen.

Mings - brilliant. Rio in the studio sounding gutted, and lovely Alan Hutton looking thrilled. Job done!!!

didnt he just  what a wankier

A very, very spotty performance.
But a wonderful result.

How do approach the home game ?
Do we try and score or manage the tie out ?

Stefan borson said we were heading for a £100m windfall but I’ve no idea how he calculated it.  Celtic made £38m in total for not getting through the play off game.

Crap game. 
Great result!!!!

Crap game? Nah. End to end stuff mate!! Brilliant goal line clearance. A penalty. 4 goals. A world class Spaniard in a Villa kit. Yes there were mistakes and misplaced passes so not perfect by any means but that was not a crap game of football.

Great results - lovely to see another team self-implode when seemingly comfortable!!

[Small Rodent]

The Brugge defender had to stick his leg out.
Tap in otherwise.

Great result.

And we’ve got 3 away goals!!!!









Yeah…I know…

Sweet.. Great result.
Thank you Villa.

Great result. Was convinced Mings didn't make a touch from the header and it was going wide  anyway (couldn't understand McCoist raving on about it). Happy to be proved wrong . I'm still not sure it was a penalty, put it this way if we'd have given it away I'd be pissed off. Anyway glass 3/4 full , roll on Villa Park.

Finally a game where the misfortune falls on our opponents.

Chuffed for Mings, very solid performance with one superb piece of defending in the same penalty area he suffered ridicule 4 months back. Top man.

you can't expect to go away in the champions league knockouts and have it your own way for 90 mins you have to suffer for long periods. But I felt very comfortable tonight, I was a bit concerned making 4 subs in one hit at 1-1, I would have staggered it out a bit however it worked out for us, surely the 2nd leg is a formality now.

Yay, it's been merged!!

Fantastic result, Mings more than made up for his handball there last time.

Nah, it was stonewall, just really stupid from the defender.
