EL R2 Feyenoord v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[Martyn Smith]

Thu 2 Oct - De Kuip, Rotterdam

What's our record like in this stadium?

0-1 Watkins (67). Off his shin and the post, will hit the back of the net before the ball does. Assist Rogers from a cross

Ok, that's all that done

I'm pretty sure that this will be the first time we've played a team in competition for the first time, having already played in their stadium, won't it?

[PaulWinch again]

Win please.

[Smirker]

Would take a draw. Want a win.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

Just looked and Feyenoord sit top of the league after 7 games having won 6 of them so I’d expect a tough game.

Doesn’t count but we played them in 1998 pre season. I can’t for the life of me remember any of it but I was there…..I think it ended none none

There are a couple of licensed images of the game on t’internet if you google it.
Also I found a nice overhead shot of the ground during the 1982 final

It was 0-0, an uncomfortable boiling hot day and a total non event on the pitch. I went there purely on the basis of revisiting 1982. On the coach pretty well straight there and back, absolutely knackering.

Yes the ground was like a bloomin green house with perspex windows at the back of the upper tier amplifying the heat onto us.

That's for the tulips

Something like that, anyway

We always win here. Going to the game with a mate who hasn't missed a match, anywhere, home/away/Europe/friendlies since before we last played here competitively.
