@Seelsya_: PSG fans can be awful. Tried to cause issues in Newcastle. 🫤

@irontoon_gym: Always the same in Paris.. horrible

@Chris_Mills_: Looks like a well organised French mob attacking a pub (like normal) full of pisshead English and getting embarrassed by some granddads.

@DavidNansett: Does anyone else hope to see that one guy just sitting there eating a meal and ignoring everything going on around him?

@DELBOYRICO: Big lump at the front and frenchy in blue flapping it to 3 villa fans 😂😂😂 gew on the villa

@CommonSenseThx: Middle aged villa fans having a drink attacked by European thugs clad in black who’ve obviously premeditated the attack, of course the people in the replies blame the English lot

@p2h44xg579: Well done Villa lads for protecting yourselves 👏

@JamesPike1702: The whole concept of football fans fighting each other is mad to me. Like someone who works for Tesco going feral if he sees a lad who works for Asda on a night out. If you want to fight people because they wear a different colour top than you, then you need therapy.

@SoddenYorkshire: Grown men fighting each other over which group of multimillionaires they spend their hard earned money on watching 😂

@Wayne__sc: Credit to the lads outside, but put the phone down and help 🤦‍♂️

@andorich87: Well done villa, loads would have legged it inside the boozer. That Paris is one moody gaff. They would have had a good few young lads, tooled up, knowing the area well and best places to make a move. Looks like a few older lads stood and made sure they didn’t take the piss

@Darryn1972 : Imagine sitting in the pub that’s being attacked, watching your countrymen and fellow fans, heavily outnumbered preventing the attackers entering the pub, whilst you sit inside filming it??

@RyanKeenleyside: Same thing happened to Newcastle last year, them Paris lot need to get a grip of themselves before someone gets killed and the ultras get banned again

@dylanastle1: Been all over Europe and had no trouble at all, don’t let anyone fool you that it’s the “English disease” PSG up to their usual bullshit #avfc

@CS__UTV: New semi final ticket criteria needs to announced. Top criteria should now be ‘The ones who held off PSG ultras’

@graeme_marshall: No prizes for guessing which ones are the villa fans 😂
