The Football Thread 2024/25: Tommy Tickle's English Army?

[Peter Crisp]

I don't care who wins the Champions League as long as PSG don't.
I just find it funny that they prance about spending multi billions and pretending to be the best club ever and keep failing to win the one trophy they actually care about.

Maybe they just need 3 or 4 more £200m players.

I'd actually like a country from somewhere unusual to win.
Maybe a Sweedish club or a Scotish club.

What a strawberry floating goal by Jobe!

I just can’t stand Brendan Rodgers in Europe sometimes.

Calafiori has to learn - any full back can take a blatant foul throw, but if you want one of the Arsenal wide places you can't allow yourself to get away with it

Tonight's scores in the CL show what a mockery the competition is.

[Preezy]

How are the Villa fans of the forum feeling about tonight's return to the main event (AT VILLA PARK)?

[Herdanos]

Return? Haven't they already played a CL match?

Sorry I meant at Villa Park, my bad.

[Herdanos]

To be honest I thought the first game was at Villa Park as a friend of mine was there and sent me pictures

They played Young Boys away I believe. And won 3-0.

[Jenuall]

Shame it wasn't a closer game really because then we could have had the headline "Villa edge Young Boys"

Innuendo is always better than a good result for your team

I'm just waiting for the day when Watkins gets his name changed to use two T's so that I can then find some way of getting the anagram "Tit Wanks" out of it

EIGHTY FIVE SNOOPS FOR A CL TICKET?!

It cost me 47 for mine in the Kop tonight.

Worth every penny at Villa Park tonight!*

Fantastic performance from Villa, and what a goal AGAIN from Duran! Superb stuff from Torres (he’s an incredible player, unique as a centre-back I think), Martinez and remarkable show from Philogene too. Really well played.

*the prices are bloody terrible, though.

[Moggy]

What a result for Villa! Amazing last 5 or 6 years for them, from the Championship to beating Bayern in the Champions League!

[Jenuall]

It was never in doubt
