SC Freiburg v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[RamboandBruno]

My mom works up town and has been told the parade will be happening Thursday SHOULD WE WIN. She's been told because of bus closures (and trams) on Broad Street from 2 til 7.30.

Yeah, it’ll be on Thursday. Which is mental as most of us will still be travelling home.

Not taking anything for granted winning wise, but I’m at my father in laws funeral on Thursday, I was really hoping if we win, it would be on the Friday or after the final game, so bank holiday Monday.

Apparently the club have taken a few of the 1982 squad out to Istanbul, I think that’s a fantastic thing to do. Well done Villa.

Just another 12 hours or so to look forwards to playing in a final, soak it up, enjoy every second, these are potentially once in a generation moments.

Feeling calm, for now. If we play at our best, we will prevail.

Freiburg 0 - 4 Aston Villa

I watched a brilliant you tube documentary about firebug last night. If I was a neutral, I would want them to win. They are the ultimate community club. A Brentford on steroids. 100% owned by the fans. They believe in continuity and loyalty. They don't take themselves too seriously.  They don't sack the manager even if they get relegated. They are relaxed, calm and level headed at all times. Even if they go 4-0 down they will continue to believe and support. They play the same system as we do but probably look to attack more ( may be their undoing).
Brentford beat us 3 times this season.

Genuine lol 😂

Not long now. Getting excited but nervous as well (it is the Villa after all). Maybe someone might like to tell BBC sport about the game as they completely ignored it was even happening this morning. UTV.

Would be heart breaking. We have seen enough of that. Tonight is the night. Pray and believe 🙏
