[Rudy Can't Fail]

Preston have not lost at home in 14 games.

Didn't Bruges have a similar record?

They are e tickets mate.  I anticipate we will have them by Thursday.

Thank you for the confirmation of the e ticket

Just on the offchance - my eldest is moving to Osaka in a couple of days and was wondering whether any other H&Vers happened to be there and fancied watching the game together.

Kanpai!

I'm flying out on the 3rd so will be in osaka for the cl quarter final. Had assumed I'd be watching in bed but if there's somewhere to watch it I'd be game!

0-4 - I think it'll be tight for about half an hour before we get the first but once we're in front we'll settle and pick them off. Malen and Asensio to both score.

Now all that international shit is over, we can start to look forward to real football returning.
Thank fuck for that.

This won't be easy , expecting a tight game . Does it go to pens or replay

[cdbearsfan]

There are no replays now. Extra time then penalties, if required.

Malen's had a tough few weeks of it at Villa and now Netherlands. It'd be good to see him stake a claim in this game as with Bailey, Rashford and Asensio preferred, and his omission from the CL squad,  he's looking a bit of a pointless signing.

[darren woolley]

I'm going for a 3-1 win.

[kippaxvilla2]

I’m already getting Sanson vibes with Malen.

[Drummond]

Why? He's done well when he's played.

Some people just don't have any patience whatsoever that's why.
