@forestmad80 I think the Midlands get forgotten slightly - the powerhouses of the north ie Manchester and Liverpool; and then the London all shout loudly; but it’s often forgotten that 3 European Cups come from these ere parts… and until the oil, that’s a lot!
I understand the league being the priority but we are in the last 8 of a major European competition and a huge trophy.
I’ve always said we could go all the way in this competition, we are on the periphery of a generational legacy that could be left.
We have to go all at it on all fronts. #NFFC
@TyBracey If you had told me that we’d play Forest in the SF, then I’d have bit your hand off - no guarantee on anything, but they are languishing in the PL; we’ve beaten them 3-1; and we know them inside out.
Through to the next round! 😍Although our next opponent is still undecided with Roma & Bologna going to extra time & a surprise exit from the competition for Lyon 👀
Can we go all the way, Villans?
#AVFC
#AVFC secure their place in the Europa League quarter-finals with a 3-0 aggregate victory over Lille.
John McGinn fittingly broke the deadlock on his return to Villa Park, before Ollie Watkins unselfishly set up Leon Bailey. 🇮🇹 🔜

@AVFCOfficial Perfect. An absolutely perfect night. We need another one of these against WHU at the weekend - 70m for SJM; 20 for Cash; Youri on the horizon; want to bet against us? Much more composed, structured, & played from 1-95. We need to drop 10 yards without YT & BK…

9 - John McGinn has scored his ninth goal for Aston Villa in major European competition, with no player netting more for the club (level with European Cup winner Peter Withe). Skipper.
@forestmad80 Fairs. We’ll see what happens, and who knows, we may meet again (probably meet in the PL sometime around 11/4)
I have a soft spot for Forest as Uncle played under Clough - Garry Parker.
I’ll give you a follow as it’s been decent chat…
@jonboy_avfc Yes of course but there’s not a great deal of difference, of course you have travel etc but we haven’t had this for three decades.
We are now in the last 8 so it would be criminal not to go full pelt at it, will be a hard balancing act.
@forestmad80 But you’re almost going to have to sacrifice the PL; the fatigue will get to you, the pressure doubling down.
Still, nice to see the Thursday club saving PL face
