Good morning all.

Shoulders back, stride into work like you spent the night with Ana De Armas, spend the whole day banging on about it to your vaguely disinterested colleagues, smile all the way on the drive home, sit down, pour yourself a drink and watch the whole game again.

Any other suggestions?

 

I’m working from home. I’ll have to shout it out the window to the binmen

Couldn't sleep last night. 

Don't care. 

When the goal went in I just laughed hysterically for about two minutes, Durán is just insane. At half time in the match thread I posted "The stage is set for Captain Chaos" - and so it came to pass. 

I wish Gary Shaw could have seen it.

Couldn’t sleep well as I was busy watching highlights and reading the post-match stuff. Woke up with the biggest smile. Here’s to more of these famous European nights.

Reading a few other team's forums this morning and there's lots of praise for Unai. Especially from United fans who really want him there.

Except for Liverpool fans. They're really salty. Especially about the media giving us a fair bit of love. Oh the irony.

[Wurzel]

Oh dear the Bayern fans are not happy...........

Can we play you every week?

What a dreadful podcast. An expletive every other word. No class!

A superb write up worth reading

Time for a new page. This is a club with a rich and beautiful history, but right now history is not remotely the most interesting thing about it. Perhaps it was fitting that this was a victory largely crafted by the new generation, the players who can show this club where it is going, the young men who can craft its future. On a night when Villa celebrated its past, they somehow ended up turning the clock forward.

I'm in a claret (purple) shirt and blue tie.

Watching Unai’s post match conference almost makes me relive the small moments from that game, and further appreciate the preparation that Unai and his team do. They talked about the long balls to Watkins & Duran across the 2 halves, and how this was something that could be exploited.

Who’s going to rewatch it, without the fear and nerves from the first time!?

Watched the highlights early this morning with my grandson who is too young to stay up and watch last night (7) before taking him to school.

I just hope he doesn't have to wait decades like me to see us playing at the top again.

Great read that. Loved that line about history not repeating but rhyming.

Yeah that was poetry. I only raised an eyebrow once when he calls VP a sherbert factory. But I can dig that comparison, we got some serious sugar last night.

My lad is only 4, so not interested yet. I’ve gotten him into Mario and Pokemon lately, so I will take those wins and Villa will have to wait He wears the kits and knows he’s ’Villa’ but that’s about it. If we can keep Unai then hopefully we get some more of these types of nights in years to come!

Watching this makes me value the quality of the villa podcasters. I'd have to support another team if this guy was on a villa channel.

You'll soon ( like me ) be bankrupting yourself buying Panini footy cards searching for the Ollie Watkins ' Golden Baller' card  (he has two btw)

When I checked my phone after the game a couple of WhatsApp groups I’m in consisting of mainly Utd and Liverpool fans were all talking about it and full of praise. 

As soon as I walked into the office this morning it’s the first thing my colleague who is a Baggies fan wanted to talk about, again nothing but praise. 

It’s one of those results that seems to have the whole of the football community talking. 

leaving the ground my overriding emotion was more shock than anything else, similar to City at home last season I just couldn’t believe what I’d just witnessed. I think some of that was probably the realisation that I’d just experienced something that I will never, ever forget.
