I am stuck up a mountain in North Wales with dodgy internet connections and no pub for miles. My lad and I are prepared with many cans of strong drink to follow proceedings as best we can. UTV!

Match free to Virgin media customers ch 526

I don't know if this has already been posted but as a season ticket holder I can access the live feed free on avfc.co.uk  Villa TV. I assume all season ticket holders can.
I would rather repeat a post than find that fans missed it.

You're not joking there, I'm going to be like Barry Bethel by kick off.

They are relaxed, calm and level headed at all times. Even if they go 4-0 down they will continue to believe and support.

I look forward to seeing this in action.

I actually feel sick at the moment. I really hope we do it. But we have been here before. Let’s hope the villa we saw against Liverpool and forest turn up. It just feels we think we have done it before kicking a ball. Or I am a miserable fucker.

I have to admit this is my concern. I can't help thinking that we are acting as though we have won it already. The press has already handed us the trophy on the back of Unai winning it 4 times previously.

Finals have to be won. Anything can happen. From a scrappy set piece to a worldie. From a dodgy penalty to a soft red card.

That said, I do think we will win, but I don't think it will be easy. I'm not having all of these 4 0 predictions.

I am not there myself, but I am very much enjoyig the sights and scenes for those that are lucky enough to be there.

Istanbul gateway to the East...gateway to glory.

Come on lads, bring back the Cup.

Come on you Lions!!

200 musicians from local orchestras playing the SC Freiburg hymn on the town square in celebration of them reaching the final.

Probably the most German thing you'll ever see.

We’ve won more games (26) in European competitions than any other club since the beginning of 23/24. Among them Bayern and PSG by most estimations the 2 best sides in the World right now.

We should be confident, Unai will make sure that it doesn’t go to our heads though, and will afford Freiburg the utmost respect.
