Europa League 2025-26

Who did Hamas draw in the Europa League? You'd have to be pretty stupid to equate opposition to genocide with support for Hamas. I'll assume you aren't stupid so you're not doing that.

No I am fucking not, but when approximately 500 thousand people including 80 thousand children have died in Yemen because of the war between Iranian backed Houthi and the Saudi Arabia government,then I have a problem,any sign of boycotting Saudi Arabia,no thought not or is just a Jew thing

A rare occasion I actually feel like I've had value for money this week with that bundle. £371 for 12 tickets (young un' and old 'un with the adult) and £15 for Brentford.

I came back on Friday afternoon from having minor cosmetic treatment on my teeth to find that I could buy Europa League tickets. I bought all 4 tickets for less than the dental bill ! 

For full value on these investments make sure to beam proudly with a wide smile if Villa score/win and to clench and gnash your teeth should we keep playing like dunderheads.

Fucking hell, I am getting really confused now.
Are we playing a Jew team, Hammas, the Houthi’s or Saudi Arabia (Newcastle ??)

Wrong argument being as most people on here would love a boycott of Saudi Arabia for lots of things, and as with Russia and Qatar and recently the US, there will be calls to for England to boycott the World Cup.

But in this case we also haven't been drawn against a Saudi team in a competition where the organiser has already banned one country from participating because they have invaded another. Especially as Russia has not killed anywhere near as many as Israel have managed.

If I can just interject here and ask a question that may have been covered earlier, but are the Europa tickets coming out as emails like last season does anyone know?

I don't think so, the tickets went straight to the app.

  In  Yemen approximately 450 thousand have died including a estimated 80 thousand children have died from starvation in the war between Saudi Arabians and the Iranian backed Houthi rebels since 2014 that's 11 years now, but not a word of protest from anyone

[Meanwood Villa]

I'm attempting to follow the logic, are you saying we should be all or nothing with protests? Either protest all.the wrongs in the world or none at all?

[Somniloquism]

Keep on raising it av82, but the argument in this case is because we are playing an Israeli team. If a Saudi or an Iranian team rocks up at VP for a match and there is not a peep about boycott/protests, then it could well be the gotcha you seem to think it is.

I bet that put a smile on your face.

They qualified, but were banned by UEFA because they wouldn't let the opposition out of the tunnel.

Not bothered one way or the other

[kippaxvilla2]

Houthi Rebels FC could easily play in the Irish league with a name like that.  The Coleraine away match sounds like it might be fun.

The Corkonians wouldn't let them into the league with that name.

Apologies, for someone who posted several times with "what about.....", I didn't realise you were not bothered.
