SC Freiburg v Aston Villa Pre-Match Thread

[olaftab]

Although Accuweather (who I found used to be more accurate then BBC) has weather of "Mainly Clear" from about 1800 Turkish time.

Inshallah!

Inshallah Monty, inshallah. The camli in square is about 100 years away so I might go for Asar pray, for weather and a win🙂

The first time I've ever said this but thank fuck I've a heap of meetings to distract me this afternoon. Nerves are shot

Good if the game gets abandoned due to inclement weather we can just share the trophy for six months each and be done with it.

Just being on this site is making me tense. But I can’t stay away. Barely done a moment’s work all day.

We've lost our three previous finals, scored once and conceded seven and not turned up in two of them - We've got to break that sequence sooner or later. Please God that we're 4:0 up at half time and even then I won't relax. If we lose tonight then I wash my hands of this fucking sport completely.

[martin o`who??]

I'm minded to go the bookies and stick fifty quid on Freiburg so if we lose I've got something to be happy about instead of totally frigging suicidal.

I've got £100 on them. Money made from betting on Arsenal to win the league and Clyde to lose the playoffs.

Remember if you do bet, make sure you bet on the "to win the trophy" market not the "to win in 90 mins" one or you could still lose both ways if Freiburg win after extra time or on penalties.

I was going to do that, but emptied my whole betting account into Forest qualifying when we went 2-0 up in the semi.

I hope they have their studs sorted out.

Perform anywhere close to the second leg ties of the Forest or Bologna games and we will win comfortably. Perform like we did in the first leg of those games, first half in particular v Bologna, and we will be in trouble. Don't think it will be stress free, that's not the Villa way

[RamboandBruno]

No thinking….thinking today is bad

[PaulTheVillan]

Coventry bus garage providing the open top bus should we need it.

Went out for a dinner time stroll. Saw 2 magpies together followed by 1 magpie on it's own. 1-1. Then saw two magpies together but one flew off immediately so don't know what to it all means. Presumably it's something doom-laden though.

[PeterWithesShin]

If you didn't salute and say anything to the lone magpie it's on you if we lose.

Same here. £100 at 5/2. I’ll also be keeping a tenner spare for if we go ahead. The odds will shoot up then and the eventual disappointment will be even harder to take.
