@mallyslife_ Still trying to rationalise quite why I’m so nervous for this one! See you on the other side!

@VillArchie7_2 Just interesting and good to stir up a bit of conversation. Very much think it's 50/50 to be honest but my pessimism firmly puts Villa as favourites hahaha I don't doubt it is. We have a number of players set to be out including. No recognisable RB and big influential players too

If this is the case it stinks more of somebody who doesn't believe his players can cope with the pressure of expectation. They remain favourites, a loss to Spurs and us beating Chelsea doesn't change that #NFFC

@Son_Lyme @AvfcArchive I just loved standing in there. Won’t ever be the same.

@AvfcArchive A day that will live in infamy - and more than half the fan base don't even realise the Holte they adore is not the Holte of legend ...

The Holte End terrace was used for the final time, #OnThisDay in 1994. 💜💙 #AVFC

@Classic__Forest @doorstopisch With our class double pivot that are both out. Huge impact on the way we play. Forest on great form. Hope it’s a good game.

@doorstopisch But you’ve beat PSG and Bayern at home.

The fact that #AVFC are trying to play the underdog card now after a shit 10 days is absolutely fucking hilarious. You’ve got their manager saying it, you’ve got Collymore saying it, their fans are lapping it up. They’re on the fucking ropes already #NFFC

@FrankieMaguire Yep. I have to keep busy or I’ll over think it more than I already am doing!

@VillArchie7_2 Working from home on a train. Keeps my mind distracted from the stress levels of thinking about Villa, haha.

My journey up to Birmingham begins for Aston Villa v Forest. Such a massive, massive game. The amount of joy Unai Emery & this team has brought to us Villa fans over the last few years has been incredible. Really hope & believe they can deliver even more tonight. #avfc #utv

@ZiaYusufUK So you don’t know how elections work in the UK?!

It’s polling day. The day to vote Reform and get Starmer OUT! Thank you for your support everyone! 🇬🇧

@goal_villa46296 The app wants to throw you argument against you so you stay engaged. Real life fans rarely come across in aggregate as you find on here. Everyone is rightly nervous. You can say excited if you want. I’m nervous 😂

Why have so many Forest fans suddenly turned in obnoxious twats on here. Weird behaviour #avfc

@mariknackered @goal_villa46296 Yep. And the algo brings the aggro to keep you engaged. Shite.

@goal_villa46296 Honestly, it's the same from your side too. Too many people engagement farming I think.

@Forest_Review Everyone on all sides is nervous. It’s a big deal for both clubs.

Train to Birmingham delayed. Hope that’s not a sign of things to come. I honestly feel physically sick. I need a few shorts to try and settle the nerves. How’re people feeling? #NFFC

@RichyRi28081938 Are you new to Villa and Emery?!

He’s stressed and feeling it… #nffc

@LoveMcGrathpod You’re being kind

What a vacuous disingenuous prick this walking scrotum is.

@RTEsport Twat

Gianni Infantino claims World Cup ticket prices are justified in US market "And if somebody buys a ticket for the final for $2m dollars, I will personally bring a hot dog and a Coke to make sure that he has a great experience!" rte.ie/sport/soccer/2…

@UpTheVillaLad There are some players who had injuries for a while and then were stable. Let’s hope these two fall into that camp whatever the future holds. When we beat PSG they were the double pivot.

Fair point! It would sting to see either of them go, however for the greater good of the club and its ambitions - I’m not too sure if keeping hold of these 2 would be in our best interests based on their time at the club…. But yes, it would be much easier if we had a replacement in place before any sale

Both Onana and Kamara are great players who make a real difference when they’re fit and in the team. Injuries have been the main issue though. Kamara came on a free, but we could get good money for both - I’d cash in, get them off the wage bill and bring in some new talent. Thoughts?

@NicolaPartridg2 @Son_Lyme 😂

@Son_Lyme Ffs. Chances of us getting the match abandoned till we can play better? Just because there’s no flights involved doesn’t mean it’s not travelling via the M1.

This is bad news. This is very bad news, and the way the authorities are handling it is totally inept.

@fonforest 😂 if that were the case why are you going on about it?

All the pressure is on Villa, all of it

@VillaPaddy @UEFA My sentiments exactly. Did not like how he manages the game at all.

Potentially one of the most exciting ties of our generation ruined by a piss poor referee. How fucking shit are @UEFA pool of officials when this useless arrogant prick gets two semi finals and gets plenty wrong in both. 💩

@_stonyd I’m already feeling knackered ahead of the drive back! Let’s hope it’s on a high.

One thing tomorrow night may well be is LONG. Extra time is very possible and I’ve watched many a semi final won by who so fresher in extra time. So our bench will have to play a part. Players like Bailey. Abraham and Maatsen in particular as well as Bogarde. Those players need to be ready when called upon. Only way the match isn’t long is if we score plenty of early goals. Otherwise even if Forest score we will not be out the game - we will have to score at least two to win the game so if they come in last 5 mins because of our subs then so be it. Never give up as this team have shown the will and strength to never give in - even against the best team in Surope we never gave in and nearly pulled off the best of comebacks

@WhatTheForkAVFC Bouba and Onana aren’t there. None will matter. Only the result. I think!

Good. Then we won’t get ‘bUt MgW wAsN’t ThErE’. IF we manage to turn it around from people that genuinely believe Unai Emery of all people would actually throw a game because the rotated players didn’t make the most of the opportunity.

@myoldmansaid God that was a good team and so solid. Imagine if we had Bouba and Onana in. Dreeeaammm

The Villa team that pulled out the stops against PSG last season. And... the Villa Bermuda Triangle. Which three players come in to replace the three crossed out? #AVFC
