From lording finishing 7th and 8th when we were at our lowest point to seeing us draw Bayern and Jive on TV Can confirm a Bluenose I know told me about the Celtic tie before I had heard it.

I wish the Old Firm didn't exist. Yup, i'm a Celtic fan too but not to the same extent i support Villa. I have the shirts, want them to win etc but on the night i will be firmly supporting us but i will be buying a half and half scarf for the first time ever. It's a dream tie for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Very exciting times. Was at the cricket today with a citeh fan and he was so blasé about the draw. Balls to him and them. Going to see if I can get to one of these games. Will be historic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the dealio when Rangers visited VP? I understand the rivalry between Celtic and Rangers. I understand the link to Scotland from our founding father. I've absolutely no idea why we have so many fans that even give a shit about either Rangers or Celtic, let alone enough to let the old firm rivalry allow them to stain their love for Villa by rioting with the opposite side of the old firm during one of our games. I couldn't care less about either of them. Edited August 29 by MrBlack 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the majority appreciate what we have and the transformation this great club is embarking on. Edited August 29 by Wezbid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 For a lot of people, Rangers and Celtic are like a lightning rod on a range of political issues: colonialism, Northern Ireland, the Middle East, right wing tropes, left wing tropes etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 1 hour ago, VillaChris said: That's also Chelsea's usual draw in the domestic cups. For a fourth pot team our draw was pretty kind tbh. Bologna and Celtic on paper two of the weakest teams we could've got at home. Juventus also putting out a very young 11 out in Serie A currently so interesting to see how they get on but hard to see how they'll be as strong as 4-5 years ago. I could be wrong but it seems like the pots don't matter? In the sense that you're playing 2 from each pot anyway? Whether you're in pot 1 or 4 it's the same. Of course it matters in the sense that you can only play 2 from each sort of "tier" of opposition though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeroesAndVillans Posted August 29 VT Supporter Share Posted August 29 Feel like a nutter for saying this, but with Unai at the helm... None of those teams terrify me. Hope the boys feel the same way! With enough self belief, we can do anything. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
