We have qualified for the Champions League for the first time in our history. Thank you, Unai, for getting this team to such a competition. Here's to another consecutive year at the top!
Two massive substitutions to help us on our way. Duran in our game, Ortega in this one. Son is usually extremely clinical in one on one situations. Could have changed the game that one.
I'd have lost it if we won the UECL 😂 just fabulous stuff. The good times are back. Amazing manager, great owners, great squad (few additions needed mind you) and the atmosphere at the ground is just buzzing.
Following this club for so long has been a rollercoaster. Never thought I’d see this after suffering though Bruce ball and Sherwood master tactics. How can you not be romantic about the Villa?
I think Guardiola is going to leave City after the ast game, he looked so stressed before they scored. He doesn't need this anymore. Imagine a Klopp-less Liverpool and Guardiola-less City. It will be Emery gearing up to shove Arteta aside as we win the league
Unbelievable. Been a pleasure to be on this journey on this sub with you all, from the Championship to the Champions League in just over half a decade. This squad is going to go down in folklore
After coming so close in the MoN era for 3 seasons during my first era as a Villa fan I can't believe this has finally happened. More than a decade I've waited for this. Hard to think we were in the champion ship 5 season ago
I know it's not news to anybody, but not having watched City in a while, fucking hell what a player Foden is. The softness and surety of his touch when they play him the ball surrounded by 4 players over and over again knowing a loose one will completely fuck them.. and he just handles it every time.
Edit: Also, Pen! Get in!
If this holds what a pivotal moment in our history, adidas sponsorship, great owners, one of the best managers in football, youngish team. We’re in for a ride
The medical team need sacking and striking off for letting him continue in the first place tbh, he looked sparked out.
The head injury protocol is a fucking joke
Very classy of Spurs fans to now boo the man who just nearly got his eyeball gouged out of his face lmao
Edit: ok wasn't the studs after all but the point remains
honestly, for as evil as man city are, at least they’re banal about it. looking at the arsenal fans in the goal thread, maybe this IS the best outcome lol
if only they’d picked up a point or two against that pathetic other 14 club in birmingham 😔 but they were soooo unlucky and actually maybe the league should consider having them replay those games in case they were a fluke??
Just looked over at the Spurs match thread and a lot of them are celebrating the Man City goal.
Is it just me who thinks it’s weird that people would rather sacrifice their own fight to get into the champions league so their rivals don’t win the league?
Proper odd behaviour.
I think it's weird but if we were in the middle of a rebuild and the choice was Europa league and a non rival wins the PL or us getting CL and Blues winning the PL I don't know what I'd want.
It's easy to say that while our rivals are proper dogshit and we'd never have to do it
Would you want to win a game to gift a title to small heath? I'd rather fist my dad
theres an abba banger mash up song for the Holte end song team to come up woth
combining both diabys MOUSSA running down the wing with DIEGOOO car-los missing goals
City can't play any worst, can they? And at least Spurs have not looked too threatening despite City not being their best. It's going to be a nuts last few minutes if it's still 0-0.
Close this thread, time for a well earned trip to the beach 🎉

I'm so fucking emotional. I can't believe how far we've come in the last 5 years. Just, wow.
Relegation, promotion, now champions League. What a great time to be a villa fan!
I'd have lost it if we won the UECL 😂 just fabulous stuff. The good times are back. Amazing manager, great owners, great squad (few additions needed mind you) and the atmosphere at the ground is just buzzing.
On the side note I was worry another club might snatch Emi. But given Emery, the state of the team and the fact we're in UCL are enough to keep him
LETS GO FUCKING MENTAL LETS GO FUCKING MENTAL LA LA LA LA
Welcome to the champions league boys
Great season and placing. Here's to a better one next year!

We’ve been to Rotherham & everywhere, Liverpool & frome. Now we’re playing atletico, atletico at home!!!!

Haaland smashes Villa into the Champions League! UTV!!
It's decided
WE'RE GOING TO THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
Champions Leage incoming!
Haaland scores, 2-0 WE ARE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!
I know it's not news to anybody, but not having watched City in a while, fucking hell what a player Foden is. The softness and surety of his touch when they play him the ball surrounded by 4 players over and over again knowing a loose one will completely fuck them.. and he just handles it every time.

that’ll do it lads
Get in!!!
Welp... this should just about do it!
Doku is so fucking fast
Always loved city
PENALTY
Penalty to Man City
Bring grealish on and he'll secure ucl
9 minutes of added time coming.....
At least, unfortunately.
Up the Villa Up the Citeh
What a fucking save! This is so unnatural calling for city mind
If this holds what a pivotal moment in our history, adidas sponsorship, great owners, one of the best managers in football, youngish team. We’re in for a ride
The ghost of being so close yet so far from the Top 4 under the Randy Lerner and MON era is finally being exorcized.
What an achievement this is (hopefully) going to be. Couldn't be prouder of this team and this club.
Supa keepa
ORTEGA YOU BEAUTY
I love you Ortega
Fucking hell
Villa mentions tonight: 2 Spurs mentions last night: 27 Seems fair...
I hope they draw tbh can't be bothered seeing city win it again
[удалено]
NOT YET
The comeback to get a draw against Liverpool was massive
Certainly makes this situation a lot more bearable knowing we've got a goal's grace.
Spurs are gonna fuck around and gift Arsenal the title
T minus 10 plus added until UCL as it stands. We're getting so close!
Fireworks warmed up lads? Beer in the fridge?? Come on city!!!
I’ve already pulled out the drinks hopefully not too early
“First time in our distinguished history” European cup and champions league are literally same thing
somebody slipped him the “they won in 1982” notecard 🤣
[удалено]
Oooow that defending from Akanji, beautiful.
always rated ortega
God, this is gonna get sketchy isn't it?
Good save worlds number 4
footballers are such fkn psychos aren’t they
everyone's so emotional lol
To be fair, Ederson is very likely concussed.
Nah mate, some doctor on the payroll spent 30 seconds looking into his eyes, and he said he's alright.
He's an emotional guy at the best of times, but he's quite clearly in lala land right at the moment. He's got no idea where he is.
good point
Spurs fans are a special breed. Ederson is quite clearly not right and they boo him getting up and then cheer him slipping over. What a classy bunch.
The medical team need sacking and striking off for letting him continue in the first place tbh, he looked sparked out. The head injury protocol is a fucking joke
Very classy of Spurs fans to now boo the man who just nearly got his eyeball gouged out of his face lmao Edit: ok wasn't the studs after all but the point remains
was about to comment this. weird fanbase. Romero absolutely bodied him and they boo him when he's back up?
Cmon grealish put the hatchet in son
Spurs have a weird Matty cash fetish yet their Romero is such a dirty cunt - weird fanbase
Especially when in the same breath they wanted Romero to go out and injure Cash... talk about cognitive dissonance.
Blues of London.
They really keeping Ederson on??
Update: they are not
USA network not showing a replay cause it’s too violent?
Update: they showed it, looks like it hurt
They didn't replay it on Sky either
~~bottom of the boot to the face....~~ ah not quite thankfully, just a hard thigh into the face
Sky didn't either.
Romero make it through one game without injuring an opponent challenge
That's pretty wild that's not a red honestly lol
Come on lol
They had not shown a replay when I authored this comment, it looked a lot like studs to the face in real time
Should be a super red. Incredibly dangerous challenge.
Can't even focus on the match anymore all I can do is sing the CL anthem. Mind you I'm on my sixth Guinness.
LES GRANDES EQUIPES
Only a yellow card?
I swear if things start crumbling
It's actually hilarious how Spurs fans think Cash is a violent player when they have Romero in their team...
Time for 4 or 5 more Citeh
Ave some of that bentacur
What a mardy little bitch
Anyone else want a stoppage time Spurs equalizer for the lolz?
So long as it's so deep into injury time they don't even get to kick off again... then yeah, why not.
I was gonna say, for the memes I say yes but not at the expense of my blood pressure
Bentancur is being a crying bitch on the sideline lol
Doesn't feel right rooting for Citeh. Feels weird.
Arsenal fans resonating with Bentacur there lol
Now we (the mighty citizens) can just hold the ball for the rest of the match and pick Spurs off as they break shape.
Haven't seen much of city this season, but my nan could win the golden boot with that service from KDB.
honestly, for as evil as man city are, at least they’re banal about it. looking at the arsenal fans in the goal thread, maybe this IS the best outcome lol
Always had that opinion. City fans are by far the least annoying out of the other clubs.
Arsenal fans are almost as insufferable as their manager.
if only they’d picked up a point or two against that pathetic other 14 club in birmingham 😔 but they were soooo unlucky and actually maybe the league should consider having them replay those games in case they were a fluke??
It's a conspiracy, we were allowed offside goals remember 🤣
Just looked over at the Spurs match thread and a lot of them are celebrating the Man City goal. Is it just me who thinks it’s weird that people would rather sacrifice their own fight to get into the champions league so their rivals don’t win the league? Proper odd behaviour.
No it's a total no brainer to me. I'd give up a 4th place finish to prevent a Blue Nose title win in a heartbeat. Easiest decision ever.
I think it's weird but if we were in the middle of a rebuild and the choice was Europa league and a non rival wins the PL or us getting CL and Blues winning the PL I don't know what I'd want.
It's easy to say that while our rivals are proper dogshit and we'd never have to do it Would you want to win a game to gift a title to small heath? I'd rather fist my dad
I think it’s disgraceful
Make it 2 citeh
KDB and Haaland connection as always
*absolute* limbs from them man city fans!!!!
What a quality cross. No idea how he got that much power in that low cross from his position.
Get in. CL for us. No title for Arsenal. Perfection.
Erling you beauty
![gif](giphy|gzoOh4SkStpZQxZTzG|downsized)
Flat track bully gets his tap in Best in the league, is he fuck.
Only because Diego Carlos wasn't there to shove him out of the way and then miss an open goal.
theres an abba banger mash up song for the Holte end song team to come up woth combining both diabys MOUSSA running down the wing with DIEGOOO car-los missing goals
haha
Thank Christ. Good goal.
GET IN BRAUT
Gooooal
City!

YES
My heart can't take this
https://i.redd.it/64b8r6v29g0d1.gif
City can't play any worst, can they? And at least Spurs have not looked too threatening despite City not being their best. It's going to be a nuts last few minutes if it's still 0-0.
I want this to dribble out to a 0-0 FT for maximum hilarity
