Europa League Winners Post-Match Celebration Perma-sticky

[Pete3206]

Exigo's post is a reminder to every Villa fan of the Premier League generation that winning finals beats any top 4/5 league season. It's the priority of the club for sure, but there is no better feeling than winning trophies. Give me the FA or League Cup and a good CL run next season and I'd be over the moon.

Yeah while the club needs CL ask yourself this, what as a fan was better, qualifying for the CL or Weds. Weds by a mile for me as we'll always remember it and the sheer joy that final whistle blew.

I have set aside today to catch up with what was happening at home and TV coverage on the day of the match. The full re run of the TNT programme is on the box and read back the match thread and this one.  It's making the experience out there even better.

It was a pretty average few days wasn’t it?! 😉

Fantastic post Exigo, I have the same family history so, you struck a chord with me.
It sounded a wonderful trip.

Beautifully and thoughtfully written Exigo. The connection with our club threads through generations, friendships and chance encounters with strangers. I've had so many random discussions and joy filled moments this week with people I've only met since Wednesday- the power of the Villa.

Reading Stu82's post ,and knowing my own family history, it struck me that many of our ancestors christened, married or buried in Aston Churchyard probably had their own connections with each other through Villa so we are all echoing what went before. I like that.

I know it’s been talked about before but when we look back at footage of the two European finals we’ve played in and won, it will always be that funny bit of trivia that it’s been against German teams in red, we are wearing white, in a game where we didn’t concede a goal and officiated by a French ref.

If the new kit images are true, we have no European White strip for next season…
