UEFA Europa League

Villa is going to advance, but I’ve not been impressed. They seem to have lost their early season mojo. Could see them struggle with West Ham the weekend.

Elliot got on the pitch for a rare appearance for Villa.

Involved in the built-up of Villa’s 2nd goal.

Roma vs Bologna 3:3 (Agg 4:4). Extra time next.

Roughly 300 mins of total playing time so far this season. Easily his worst year in football, probably never saw that coming.

I wonder what choices will be made next season, as if he comes back into the squad then there are so many attacking players that would get in the match day squad before he does. Tough game!

Watkins just scored a wonderful team goal for Villa. I missed this kind of flowing football from us.

Emery chasing his 5th EL with what possibly a 3rd different club (not to forget that he also took Arsenal to a final).

If he does it, you may as well name the trophy after him.

The good ebening league.

:joy:

Bologna fell asleep during a Villa throw in near their penalty area, a throw in - Buendía then scored.

Hmmm, a throw in that goes to your own players…why don’t we do that often?

Bologna 's keeper is really poor, let in another near side goal. Rogers broke his drought.

I think I can switch channel to the Forest vs Porto tie…Much closer affairs.

Forest’s players are dropping like flies. Wood got kicked in the 1st half and have to be taken off…Now 2 more injuries and still with 20 minutes to go and only 1 goal lead in aggregate…but at least they are 1 man up.

The camera just showed a lot of nail biting Forest supporters.

Villa vs Forest in the next round (Semi Final).
Palace also through to the next round in Conference League.

We still have to face Palace (25-Apr) and Villa (17-May). I wonder if their matches in Europe will give us an advantage.

It’s kind of amusing it’s Arsenal who affects his record.

Shame it’s the week after as it would have moved our 3pm

I wasn’t aware Dale Johnson looked like Mark Goldwhatever’s bald brother.

Forest vs Villa. I wonder.

I’m not watching, real reason is I don’t have TNT.

But I’m hoping Forest go through to the final so as to put this 6th place ECL qualification to rest. Wouldn’t like to see Chelsea sneaking in through back door.

Looking at tonight’s lineups, they’ve put out really strong teams. They both badly want a European trophy, one to follow the mighty cloughs era and the other to eclipse the last mighty intertoto invitation for clubs who otherwise could not qualify for Europe normally by league finishing position.

Oh hang on … that sounds just like how it is now finishing in 5th and 6th places :see_no_evil_monkey:

I’m watching and after 22 minutes, I wish I wasn’t.

Why is Digne raising his arms like that? Wood scored the pen for Forest.

Good for Spurs and Liverpool as Villa may play the B side v Spurs in a few days.

As for this game, hurry up and bring on Leg 2.
