More likely they flog tickets for the Warehouse I imagine. Possibly other corporate spots around the ground.

Yeah, he's exactly the sort of gobshite that gets sent off at Old Trafford/Anfield but can do whatever the fuck he likes against us.

Would rather face Forest in a two legged semi than in the final.

I said this last night.  Pretty confident over two legs, in a one-off game anything could happen.

Hodgson is Bristol City manager, he last managed them in 81/82. What further proof does anyone need to know we're winning it?

If we make the final, will they put big screens in Villa Park for the game ?

I’d imagine in the warehouse and charge a fortune.

It will be great if we make the final because Istanbul is full of cats.

Having a extra days rest for second leg could be crucial

Our captains name begins with an M ?
Our strikers name begins with a W ?

We outplayed them at their place and we're coming in to more form with more options from the bench. Let's not fear them, a Semi Final of a European competition over 2 legs against Forest is a fantastic position to be in.

Look at it from their perspective, they're got a Semi Final against a Champions League quality team where the second leg is away. They need to do the damage in the first leg. We are rock solid at home in Europe. We can do these. McGinn, Watkins, Martinez, Mings, Abraham Konsa, Cash , Luiz are all guys that have been on a journey with us and wont want this to end with nothing.

No bogey sides involved, no mental block, if we play to our best we win. Emery will have us primed and set up. I can't wait. McGinn holding aloft a trophy and cementing legend status is one step more likely now.


. If we win it... Odds on John Terry lifting the trophy for us are currently 33/1

I'd personally send Kamara up for it if we win it

Both squad number 7s were previous players for Hibs.

Nice thought, but it has to be SJM. Bouba can do the Super cup.

In 2024 a team owned by Evangelos Marinakis went through four different managers in a season and faced Aston Villa in a European semi-final.

 :-\

And benefitted from the most dubious refereeing performance I have witnessed live.
