Wow I've never felt my heart beat so fast as it did in the play off final - I too would need to watch the final few games from behind the sofa.

Villa will tail off because they don't have any squad depth. They only beat Man City because they had a couple of injuries and a suspension. ?????????????? Not picking on you but what pundits have said this? Everything I've seen/heard around that game has basically said we blew them away. I've seen articles and pundits mention things like City not having Rodri, but it's never given as the reason we beat them I'd say it's been one of the most unanimous "Villa were **** amazing" reactions I've ever seen to be honest Edit: sorry I didn't realise I was replying to such an old post Edited December 21, 2023 by Stevo985 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted December 21, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2023 Just watching MOTD2 from Sunday and watching the preamble to our game and the game… I just had a real ‘pinch me’ moment. We’re doing so well, it’s actually amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad, who’s sadly now a HEITS, had a triple heart bypass and was on medication, when I took him to see our match against Milan which we won on penalties. Dad took a pil before the game and popped another couple when it went to extra time! a bloke in the row behind i us asked him if he could have one too! Dad lived past that game and longer too, not long enough of course as it never is. But it was a hell of a game! And he’d seen us through the third division and all the way back to the top, including those times when made the league cup our own. Enjoy your view from the place you’re in now Dad, we’re in good hands! Edited December 21, 2023 by DaveAV1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conference League I’m not (quite) as fussed about the FA Cup, I’d rather the league was ultimate priority (given where we are now) and then let’s wait and see how the FA Cup goes. I think if we rotate a bit but still get through a FA few rounds then it move up the priority list a bit, but for me it’s league, then Europa conference league then fa cup.
