SC Freiburg v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

We are better with Onana. I hope the side we pick is the absolute best we can field.

Lindelof/Bogarde hybrid in lieu of Barkley who'll have to beat Citeh on his own next weekend.

Plus Elliot.

For those who can't go and not going to a pub, it has finally been announced that TNT/HBO are showing it with a basic subscription plan rather then needing the Sports add on. So no proper free to air showing for any of the finals at the moment.

Not even a day-pass?

Hope that changes, otherwise its Radio WM and a huge pile of ironing!

Freiburg have beaten RB Leipzig 4-1 at home today.

Anyone know what their fans are saying about us?

They're composing a letter as we speak.

Are they Team Streeting or that little bloke with glasses who they call the king of the North?

Freiburg have beaten RB Leipzig 4-1 at home today.

That's a very good result considering RB are top 4 and were 21 points above Freiburg.

I’d love one of our early games in the 2026-2027 season to be the UEFA Super Cup vs PSG in Salzburg. That would be rather nice.

Fixed.

Thank you. It is of course what I meant. However I didn’t want to be that specific in case those who believe in jinxes felt it would guarantee an Arsenal win in the CL final. Which would be horrific.

I think we should rest and rotate. We have a massive league game coming up which could have a bearing on who takes the title in the biggest bestest league in the world. We owe it to Arsenal.

Fair enough, and thanks for considering the jinx gods.
