Yep would be a good tie. If we win excellent  but if we lose no shame going out to PSG

Can we please stop tempting fate. Bruges aren't mugs and this is not done yet.

With all due respect, who is tempting fate? I havent said we are definitely going to win look at my previous  posts ive continously  said  if we get past brugges.

I get called negative for predicting a loss and i haven't done that shows i cant win no matter what i do or say 🤷‍♂️

[PaulWinch again]

We need to be right at it. We’ve seen this season we’re capable of putting in a shocker and conceding plenty of goals. Two goals is a brilliant advantage but it’s not tie defining unless we make it be.

[ChicagoLion]

Imperative we don't concede early.
I think Emery will set us up to absorb and slow the game down.
The longer the game goes on at 0 0 the more they come out,
Expect nerve wracking.

A big pint of Davenports

Or Ansells, being drunk by William McGregor, with a bottle of HP Sauce in the other hand

[Clampy]

They'll have a game plan where I reckon they'll try and go in at half time 1 up. Obviously, if we get an early goal they'll have to come out attack. It'll be tough though.

[Brend'Watkins]

We were better than them at their place and we will be better than them at our place because we’re a much better team, have better players and better subs. Yes, they’ll put up a fight of sorts but it won’t be enough.
3-1 win.

Not sure we were better than them last week. You might make a case for it being even but on balance of chances they should have got something. Glad they didn’t obviously and we should have enough, but it might be tough.

[Proposition Joe]

No that’s the other poster. Martin Daniel’s.

Wasn't it Tommy Cooper's Injury? Not sure if he still posts here.

Salsa Party Animal ruled the roost.

He was known as LMDA on the Villa Mailing List.

Oh, didn't know LMDA was on here. The listman mailing list, those were the days, I was active on it from the mid-90s to the mid-00s iirc.

I have a feeling this is going to be a tough night for us

That’s my take as well. Would have been happy with the draw last week and that would have been a fairer reflection of the game, not that I’m complaining about the two goal advantage.

Why are we always so fair minded when we win a tight one, but if we lose one (even without the defence errors Bruges made) all hell breaks loose.

I’m with Brend, we are better than them 1-11 before the subs even come on

[LeeB]

They clearly give themselves a home advantage by driving a tractor over their pitch every week, they haven't got that here.

[Demitri_C]

They wilk look at what psg did try score early  and quiet the crowd and try make us nervous

As long as we score first or dont concede early its in our hands and we can see it through.

The  fans have  a massive part to play tonight. uTV
