Europa League 2025-26

Their homes to them are more important. So ban demos anywhere within 1/2 mile of VP. And yes UEFA banning their away idiots (so I am told and I am not being anti-Semitic) would be good news.

Hardly antisemitic to say Tel Aviv fans are hooligan and racists. It's a plain fact.

Edit: forget it.

Deventer (Go Ahead Eagles) is beautiful. If you're not into picture-perfect old towns, Rotterdam has the same destroyed-but-who-gives-a-shit vibe as Berlin.

What airports would you recommend?

Always deeply pleasant to read a thread and be reminded how many fellow Villa fans don't give a toss about colonialism, racism and genocide partly sponsored by their own government as long as they get to watch the football in peace.

Some of us just dont have the bravery to do all we can by posting virtously on the internet. Keep it up, you're making a difference.

Yes been to Deventer and it’s very nice.
Sure the visiting fans will enjoy it.
Usually visited Zwolle which is beautiful place.

For airports, there's no better than Schiphol or Eindhoven for Deventer. Anything in Germany is further and not well connected.

Fenerbache is the other side of the Bospherus it seems. Don't know where to start with Istanbul.

A flight would be a good start Ads.

I'm here all week.

I can't help but feel that in certain quarters complaining about the quality of our Europe League trips might come across as a little bit entitled.

I would agree. Also the places are really interesting and historic and have great places to see.

What does virtously mean? Is it something to do with tanks?

Anyway, posting on the internet might not be all he’s doing. Maybe he will support a campaign to ban genocidal maniacs from the game? Protest at the stadium? Register his opposition with the club and police? Better than tacit approval anyway.

Its a typo, don't be boring Percy.

It might not be all he does, he might like to play dress up and and wear a kaffiyeh. He might sing songs. He might donate. He might clog up the Marlybone or Euston train to get to London regularly on a Saturday. He might do lots and lots of equally futile and pointless things with his or her time, that expend a tad more energy in the process than manipulating their thumbs on their phone.

But he can stick his criticism of my junkie level addiction of watching the Villa up his backside. This is the football side of the forum, this is specifically the Europa League thread where we're meant to get excited about playing in the competition and I am excited about the idea of flattening these wankers and want to be there to see it in person.

Thanks for that info. Also google tells me that there are direct trains to Deventer from Amsterdam Zuid.

[Drummond]

I'm. Hoping that draw won't be too taxing. We can make our way through unscathed and on to the knockouts.
