My husband and I have agreed to never discuss Ollie Watkins since it always leads to a shouting match ๐Ÿ˜‚

Yes I try to be positive about all our players but itโ€™s clear to see that heโ€™s struggling and maybe time on the bench is needed as he doesnโ€™t seem to be playing his way in to form.

Malen showing much more desire and energy than Watkins imo

Weโ€™ve lost the plot since we gifted them the first goal

That was really good of them. Yeah, itโ€™s awful for many pets. Freddy is an anxious dog generally so fireworks are a nightmare

We have to keep the tv on loud or play music to keep our dog reasonably calm but he wonโ€™t go outside at all . Iโ€™ll probably have to stay up longer than usual until the worst of the fireworks have stopped.

When were children in the north of Ireland we always celebrated Halloween. Moved to England and nobody knew of it but of course Guy Fawkes night was the big event which weโ€™d never heard of obvs

My husband likes to watch the opposition fan reactions on You tube when we win..

#AVFC XI: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Pau, Digne; Kamara, Onana; McGinn, Rogers, Buendia; Watkins

Five changes from Go Ahead loss. John McGinn makes his 200th Villa Premier League start. Lucas Digne is back fit and starts.

My sister in law is a many years STH at Wednesday. Sheโ€™s devastated by whatโ€™s happening but hopeful new owners can be found.

I imagine Emery will be livid about conceding when weโ€™ve been in control.

Weโ€™ve gone to pot since they equalised

I really thought Bizot had earned his place in the starting eleven. Bit surprised that Martinez starts

23.10.2025 15:35 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

No surprise. The families will never get justice. My thoughts are with my fellow Derry people.

As we await a verdict in the trial of Soldier F, another reminder that in 2010 the Bloody Sunday inquiry found

- the killings were unjustified
- none of the 14 dead (7 of whom were children) had guns
- no warnings were given
- no soldiers were under threat
- the troops were the first to open fire

Maccabi Tel Aviv say in a statement that they will "decline any allocation offered on behalf of away fans" for next month's Europa League match against Aston Villa at Villa Park, adding that "the wellbeing and safety of our fans is paramount."

Watching some West Ham fans still managing a smile as their team lose again . It reminds me of the gallows humour by us in the Holte End in the bad old days of Mcleish & co. Some proper humorous stuff in those daysโ€ฆ had to keep sane somehow

I agree. This should have been foreseen & would have put a stop to any controversy as soon as the draw was made. I do think many teams involved in the Europa League went to UEFA with their concerns but again heads in the sand.

I hope all these politicians & media big mouths are going to take full responsibility for any disorder that might occur in & around the game if they get their wish to have Tel Aviv fans at the game. Iโ€™m sick to death of the lot of them.
