It will be like a cup final. We can beat Villa. Two reasons.

1. They aren't that good. We've already beaten better.

2. We are Nottingham!

Anything can happen. Fred and company, where is your faith? Remember that poll we did. How many thought we could stay up and qualify for the Champions League?

COYR!

Only 26% in the poll thought we could win the Europa League, and I think those odds are not far off.
My thoughts were we could only win it if Villa got knocked out in the quarters.
Faith alone won't win it for us. We can't score goals even when we're on top in games, while Villa score at will. They have far better players in midfield and up front than us.


Imagine you're not a Forest fan, and, as a neutral, who you think would win.
I'd fancy us slightly more in a one-off game, but not at all over 2 legs.
We have a punchers' chance, and I really hope we can do it. I just don't see it happening.
Having said that, COYR's. ?

Big well done to Coventry City!
Nearly extinct just a few years ago, missing out last season as well.
They were actually one of 3 teams I was thinking of supporting, along with Man City and ourselves, when I was 11 or 12 years old.
So glad I made the right choice!!!
Uuuuu Redddss!!!!!

Negative ninny. We can beat Villa. We are good enough, and they aren't as good as the hype.

We have 2 England internationals and Sangare in midfield. We can definitely beat them.

They have 3 England internationals and Tielemans in midfield.

But we have two England internationals in midfield, Fred.
If only football was played on paper, mate?
McGinn bigger threat than Tielemans.

I was matching Tielemans up to Cyclist's Sangare pic. Dtp, and my keyboard is playing up, so I struggled with 2 capital letters, that's why I didn't pick John.
