i'm with Townley on this one. the baguettes and ham in France are something out of this world, no need for anything else 😂
You guys have forgotten about the two full backs we signed in January, when talking about Dinge, if they were to sell him in the summer. Probably future players, because they are fairly young.
I'm enjoying seeing Dan's range of bold shirts lately! 😂
Plenty more in the locker once the sun starts shining
They almost match John's hotel curtains
Dan, love the style evolution, I’m fully expecting a gold chain next week & if villa are as slick as you we’ll be through to a European semi final!
My pen takers:
Watkins
Digne
Luiz
Tielemans
McGinn
Zaniolo
Torres
Bailey
Carlos/Lenglet
Konsa
Martinez
Luiz and Youri 3rd & 4th as they are pretty much guarenteed pens to take and are the most pressure penalties. Ollie in form, give him the first one. Digne a free kick taker, hopefully just puts it in. Captain McGinn. Nicolo is a big game player, I think, so wouldn't mind swapping him into the first 5 either.
Guys, how many times has Emery said you concentrate on one game at a time, you don't waste your energy worrying about what comes after. Thats his job to manage.
Even from a fan POV there are far too many permutations and possible impacts. Let's enjoy the moment, tomorrow will come along soon enough.
Exactly mate,Johns Abit of a worrier & as you said let's enjoy the moment/journey & whatever will be,will be. Personally I'm very happy with how Aston Villa fc is doing & long may it continue......👏.!!!..... up the mighty Villa!!!! 😊⚽✌️
You’re gonna love our next podcast 😂
Is John recording from Dan's shirt pocket?
Think we got away with it massively in the home leg, although a lot of the chances we gave up came from individual errors. I strongly suspect it's going all the way to pens.
Tough game - similar to the Arsenal game I think first team to score goes through. Hope Villa just play their normal game and go for it.
got to hand it to the frogs but they do good grub. good shout on the baguette and ham. need some goats cheese though. french goats cheese is so good. as for the game, yeah i fancy a 1-1 draw. maybe a late watkins equaliser. tough game though. get through the first half hour.
John, for 15 euros (£10) you can have a three course meal plus wine at a little French cafe. Ask for ‘menu du jour’. Pull yourself together mate!
Is Mile Jedinak available for pens?
Lille has an underground metro system? Indeed it does, as do many large French cities. Here in Toulouse we have a metro, extensive tramway system, cheap buses, hydrogen buses, and even a cable car system. It’s literally half the size of Brum. Shame on us! But UTV!
Villa fan living in France here.. come on boys go for a plat de jour somewhere for lunch.. they're always cheap and good.. it just means dish of the day.. 2-1 Villa come on.. UTV
Ah pauvre Jean. Head down the boulangerie and have a chat to a local about Barnsley.
The extra rest didn't help Arsenal very much did it John? How about giving some positive vibes & not looking at what could or might go wrong, we're supporting the best era in a long time in Aston Villa's history & if we can't be confident now then when can we be? We'll be fine,cos we've got Unai Emery & we're building something special at Villa, whatever happens. Come on you Villa boys....... up the mighty Villa!!!!.....✌️⚽😁💜💙.......👏.!!!
Frog legs are one thing, but dude, if you wind up getting roped into snails - film it, yeah?
... otherwise: avoid snails xd
Johns a young guy, he cant help being a worrier, when we win the euro conference final, he'll b worrying about champions league games, lol
Jon needs more £££ for his food when he is away . Come on Dan lengthen your arms
Hahaha as if you think I decide John’s budget 😂
@@ClaretBluePod
Are you blaming Matt?
I’m blaming that this is a work expenses trip and there are budgets set for that by people in totally different departments to any of us
@@ClaretBluePod
Those darn money men forcing good journos to comply with FFP 😫
@@ClaretBluePod the lad has to eat !!! Do I need to come and have a word with the boss ?
I thought pigs ears were for dogs
Lille will be loud, and hostile. With drums, a guy on the loud speaker jeering them on, and a LOT of crap thrown at our players whenever we have a throw-in or corner.
Lot of pyro in the stands.
They'll sing the same crap over and over (anthemically), though if you don't speak French then it won't matter much what they're singing anyway, so... xd
Editting to add: They like to set off pyro behind the goals when they score too - something that's hilariously tacky to the English, but something to be aware of to avoid surprises.
Not sure where the Villa fans are being sat, tbh, but I'm not expecting ya to be behind the goals.
... grrr... wish I'd put off paying for Athens so I could go to this too. Not been France in months, and the one bloody time Villa are there, I'm not!
No need to try frogs legs and snails. Don't put ur stomach through that mess
Frogs legs are decent, snails on the other hand...
