Paris has been lovely and serene. This is an outlier. Local mental PSG fans goaded  into a clash by our piss heads it seems.

You know this as fact?

Maybe we did, but there's absolutely no way you can garner who started what from that clip.

Younger viewers won't have a clue what we're on about.

It seems to who? Everything i've seen about it is it was PSG attacking Villa.

an investigative source close to the French police has claimed that Aston Villa supporters were intentionally targeted by a violent gang of PSG hooligans.

'They knew who they were looking for – anybody supporting Aston Villa. The Aston Villa fans were deliberately targeted.'

The source added: 'Gangs like this are used to carrying out these types of attacks – they hit hard, and then melt away into the night.'

It is claimed a gang referring to themselves as 'PSG hooligans', who are believed to be a continuation of the disbanded far-right group Kop of Boulogne, have taken responsibility for the incident.

Kop of Boulogne was forced to dissolve in 2008 following a series of targeted attacks on supporters from black and Arabic backgrounds.

Ok, I’m nervous. Excited. But really nervous.

Although we regularly play Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool and often look a good match, this is an unknown for me.

I can see it being 3-1 or 3-2 to them. I think we’ll win the leg at Villa park though.

Bring it on. I’m 41 and have waited my whole life for this game. Final 8 in the CL… it’s remarkable bearing in mind that a few years ago, we were losing 3-1 to Bristol City at Villa Park.

BBC Sport not covering it 'Live' right now.... Instead a story about an Ex ManU player thinking a current one is shit. That and how Liverpool playing Barcelona a few years ago was great too.

There's been loads about us. And coverage starts again an hour and a half before kick off.

There's nothing live now, when I want it. Or earlier, when I wanted it. There may have been a little bit when I was in a meeting but that's no good!

It's fair to say I've walked a few miles around Paris today and seen Villa fans in colours enjoying the sunshine and the sights and having a few beers. No problems.

I'm very confident that there is nothing in a BBC website live blog that you would find entertaining or enlightening three hours before the game starts.

[Drummond]

I feel that I agree. But I'm excited and nervous and want to distract myself.

And work has been boring today and the wait goes on. Anyway on the way to coach the U10s now so that'll kill an hour.

Could always scroll down this to catch up and also read the Emery article. Not sure what else they can say 3 hours before the game.
