Aston Villa - Sun 24th May, 16:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 16:00 BST.

Bernardo and Stones' last game for us, deserve a huge send off.

I would love Pep to U-turn but if not it's on us to make the day about him.

This game will make him the most 'capped' manager in our history and then when you add the success into it, well it's something that just cannot be replicated. What a man, what a manager he has been for this club .

1 more year, 1 more year Guardiola...

 

[Digsy's Dinner]

Pep, and John and Bernardo.

 

[dublinblue12]

Pep to simply say '10 more years' and drop the mic

 

[Damanino]

It's now a goodbye to Pep. No stakes. Hope we ain't losing tho. Villa hopefully hangover from EL cannot see them fuckng up Freiburg.

[Semper aggressus]

Doesn’t really matter now, it’s just about saying goodbye and thanks for making us the best team in the world.

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Couldn't care less about the game now that there is nothing to play for, going purely for the send off of Stones & Bernardo.

 

[Gabriel]

Reckon this could be a bit of a farewell tour for a good number of players and coaching staff. Will be emotional and both sides will be frazzled. A draw.

 

[WestGorton]

Let's enjoy with no pressure. Up the fucking blues.

 

[SiMCFC]

Literally don't give a fuck if we get tonked 0-10 now tbh. Going to get the chance to be there for the send off for Stones/Silva/Pep and whoever else is off this Summer.

 

[Belfastblue90]

No pressure on the game now,so just go out and enjoy it blues,let's create a good atmosphere and give Bernie and John a good send off,and most likely pep last game! 2 cup trophies to parade around the ground aswell, CTID

[kunaguero10]

These next 5 days are all about celebrating and remembering the brilliant last 10 years, for me. I’ll be watching all of the highlights from our amazing title and cups wins across all of the record breaking sides.

I hope they show these at the ground in the build up.

We should have been taking the title to the last day but at least it can now just be a celebration of Pep and the last 10 years now.

 

[paulchapo]

An absolutely damp squib of a game now and just a chance to pay homage to everybody who is leaving and celebrate our two cup wins.
I probably wanted Villa to win that European trophy if anything was riding on this game as they'd be on the beach, but now i hope they get battered.

 

[Eaststander1]

It's a nothing game now .... well, to us anyway, but it probably matters to Villa if they want to finsh in the top four ahead of Liverpool .....does it really matter to us now if we finish 7 points behind Arsenal, or 1 point

.... or shall we put in a top class display just to spite Villa, simply because we can't stand em' ??

Just an occasion to say a few goodbyes to those who are sadly departing, as we don't know for sure who's still gonna still be here for the bus parade, and who's already rode off into the sunset .....
