comment on the article

Im not bothered if we drew tonight all the players were concerned about is not losing by two goals and we didn't so its mission accomplished group stages here we come, Im hoping for an easy group idealy not ac milan or sevilla in it. Thoughts?

Is that what YOU'd like MON to be thinking?

From what I saw of the match Petrov was excellent. I don't think he'll be dropped for this one.

Does anyone else have a sneaky feeling we can snatch a win at the Bridge on Sunday? The defence is looking better and better with each game and is due a clean sheet, and with Young and Carew on form i think we could be in for a real upset.

As a spurs fan, i am jealous of the results, the performances and the players you have this season,
no major money deals just a quality team, i was at the game this season and Young tore us apart and made Lennon look a joke.
When/If spurs are knocked out Villa will defenatly be the team i'll be supporting to go all the way

does anyone know when the draw is.

I am very excited now, looking at the team sheet last night, we finally have a squad! even with the changes made; on paper that team looked strong and I think they did a great job last night and that is what europe is all about.

At the moment I would not be looking to drop Petrov, finally looking good for us with a bit of pressure on him for his place. Sunday could be interesting.

I have said it for a longtime i hope we get a hard draw because to be the best we have to face the best plus after all these years of waiting i am crying out for us to face the AC Milans of this world to just show what Villa are all about these day.

Up the Villa!!!!!!!!!

Totally agree with the banner headline, doesnt matter what the result, we're thru.

Dont know if it would be a blessing or not to be drawn with AC Milan and a good Spanish / German side. I can see us facing at least 1 Villa Old Boy. Would love us to play AC Milan.

Is the draw seeded ?

I'd settle for better teams closer to home. Spain, Germany, France, Portugal and the scandanavian side.

Away trips to eastern europe in the winter would be vile, just ask Chelsea.

Ideal group. No nasty away trips and nobody that we can't beat on our day.
