0-0 going into the last minute of added on time, penalty for Villa! Ollie places the ball...

That would be fun.

I cannot go 30 seconds without thinking about this game.

Same Ads. I've had a knot in my stomach all day. Its finance month end at work and I'm really struggling to concentrate.

I cannot go 30 seconds without thinking about this game.

Yep. Last Thursday was stressful enough. I keep wavering from a steady performance with enough control to nick it to a nightmare of forest scoring a few on the counter attack.

Its awful. I have no idea what I'll feel like if we don't go through. I want this so badly it's impossible to articulate.

I am wavering between being 2 down dead early and huffing and puffing, but then I've read the "bring a scarf" rallying cry and I can hear the noise of Villa Park and it fills my cup again.

If it's going to happen, it'll happen. And when/if we win it'll be to a backdrop of atmospheric intensity that will have the whole of football remembering what we are.

I am a big believer in destiny in football. Sometimes you just get a sense. Christ I want it though, as I am sure everybody does. But the thought of not being in Istanbul is inconceivable.

Ooh is there a bring a scarf initiative? I’m not on Socials so don’t hear about this stuff.

Yeah, I don't normally wear any sort of colours, but the boy and I have claret and blue scarves and I am going to bring it. Why not!

It’d be really nice, at this pivotal moment, to turn up and be the best of what we can be.

[Mellin]

Life needs a fast forward button. Admittedly I'd just skip to Friday morning and check the score.

[Sexual Ealing]

Absolutely why not! Loud and proud please! I expect my gentleman's gentleman to be able to hear you from the clock tower.

Yes please - to avoid the weight of past failures and turn in our best performance of the season (so far!)

[Toronto Villa]

Dear Villa. Please don’t make me hate football at the end of Thursday. It’s been a week.

1-1 FT (1-2 agg)

I'm sure VAR would overturn it.

Are Forest or Nottingham generally all that popular across the UK, Clough aside, with the miner strikes, scabs et al?

Yeh but, Robin Hood,Friar Tuck, Little John, Maid Marion Phwoar, Will Scarlet- great bunch of lads.

We've become the underdogs, which seems to suit Emery and this team. I'm jealous of everyone going tomorrow, it'll be like Tranmere.

Blood pressure says fuck that.

[Nii Lamptey]

Anyone else in a situation where work this week is pretty much a write-off? I can't think about anything else!

Thinking about it, must be the same, if not worse for the players. Just want it over with... with US coming out on top.
