Europa League and Conference League semi finals

[CloneMC16]

Why do you think it was dumb out of interest? Do you think he made a conscious decision to put his hand in the air?

Putting your arms up in the air when you're defending your own box seems like a terrible decision in my mind. Every footballer will know not to do this.

 

[Offside]

If Palace win the Conference, will Arsenal be the only London club without a European trophy?

They’ve won a European trophy.

 

[BarryWinks]

Villa are in that weird place now where you are not quite sure if to focus fully on the league and lock in your highest position possible, or challenge for the Europa league and potentially lose out on both - as could happen to them this season.

 

[Doracle]

Putting your arms up in the air when you're defending your own box seems like a terrible decision in my mind. Every footballer will know not to do this.

So why do you think he made a decision to do it?

 

[Dave Smith]

Cannot believe Anderson didn't get a red in that Forest v Villa game.

I think that's pretty unlikely. 8 points ahead with 4 games remaining. Should definitely be focusing on the EL.

I hope not, aren't they playing Spurs next?

 

[Swedish_Plumber]

That’s some result for Palace.

 

[hasanejaz88]

Could very well have 3 prem teams winning all European titles.

 

[Offside]

Could very well have 3 prem teams winning all European titles.

Seems about as likely as it often is at this stage.

 

[CloneMC16]

So why do you think he made a decision to do it?

I have no idea. It's not a natural position for your arms to be in. Whatever his reason was, it was very silly.

 

[Irwin99]

2 is probably more likely. I can’t see Arsenal beating PSG or Bayern, especially if they concede the first goal. And that’s presuming they beat Atletico.

Also fancy Villa to reach the final of the EL. Kudos to Palace and Glasner for their hard work.

 

[Demyanenko_square_jaw]

That’s some result for Palace.

Shakhtar are far from what they used to be. They've done well to get this far.

 

[giggs-beckham]

Forest 1 - Villa 0

 

[roonster09]

Pathetic scheduling by PL. Forest are playing tomorrow when they have Europa SF on Thursday.

PL never does teams favors when they are campaigning in Europe. Sad really

 

[EireRed_GS]

If Forrest get to the final... Am i right in saying that our game vs them in 2 weeks will be moved, from the Sunday midday to the Fri eve , yeah??

 

[RedRocket9908]

I hope Forest get through tomorrow then win the final, it would be good to see them in the Champions League again.

 

[Irwin99]

I’m fine with either Villa or Forest winning. Villa winning and finishing 5th would be great for one of Brighton/Bournemouth/ Brentford, etc. And Forest winning would be funny because they have a better European trophy count than City.

 

[RedRocket9908]

If Olympiacos qualify for the Champions will that stop Forest from playing in it if they win the Europa?

 

[One Night Only]

If Olympiacos qualify for the Champions will that stop Forest from playing in it if they win the Europa?

Think the fat fella has given up control of forest or something to get around it?

 

[Fr. Todd Unctious]

Think the fat fella has given up control of forest or something to get around it?

Yep. Forest were in with a chance of top 4 last season and that came up so he put them into a blind trust or something

 

[Fr. Todd Unctious]

Hope Forest do Villa after they rolled over for Spurs on Sunday

 

[Born2Lose]

If Forrest get to the final... Am i right in saying that our game vs them in 2 weeks will be moved, from the Sunday midday to the Fri eve , yeah??

Yes, but the game is next week, if Villa win on the other hand their game vs Liverpool will move to the Friday rather than ours. I can see the thinking in helping the clubs in Europe but really screws over match going fans.

 

[Northstand]

Assume we’re all in for Forest?

 

[groovyalbert]

Just realized we are very likely going to have 3 English clubs in the finals of all the major European comps. That's pretty impressive.

 

[hellhunter]

Assume we’re all in for Forest?

Since Villa basically singlehandedly kept Spurs in the league, they deserve relegation instead

 

[Catt]

Hope Forest smash Villa.

 

[Big Ron’s Coat]

Hope Forest smash Villa.

Looking at that Villa lineup it seems likely.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Palace ahead already. Pino. Maybe not. Disallowed for offside.

 

[JJ12]

I would like Forest to win. Their slime bag owner being happy will be the only negative.

 

[Ole'sgunnarwin]

Absolute nonsense that McGinn can't take that quick free

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Freiburg leading now level 2-2. Braga went down to ten men after 7 minutes.

 

[C'est Moi Cantona]

West Ham must be miffed watching Villa try this hard.

 

[JJ12]

Who’s on co comms - played with Digne apparently and sounds thick

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Who’s on co comms - played with Digne apparently and sounds thick

Joe Cole and Ally McCoist are the co-comms.

 

[Adz_99]

Who’s on co comms - played with Digne apparently and sounds thick

Not watching but I'm going to guess Gabby Abonglohor

 

[RopersReturn]

Tiellemans has really dropped off in the last few games, it’s gamble playing him tonight.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Palace now are 1-0 (4-1) Munoz.

 

[JJ12]

Joe Cole and Ally McCoist are the co-comms.

Makes sense that he sounded thick then
