๐Ÿงต #AVFC Summer Recruitment ๐Ÿงต

Clearly whether Aston Villa qualify for the Champions League is going to be decisive for our policy this summer.

That said, there are some more general challenges, regardless of what competition we get into, namely:

โžก๏ธ Reduce the squad age
โžก๏ธ Reduce the wage bill

Same.

And all politics aside, what king of person lacks the common human decency to even turn their head to acknowledge the victims of childhood rape?

Sickening...

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, weโ€™ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate changeโ€”all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

If anyone is going to the game on Saturday and wants a Freddo, let me know, otherwise the Freddo's will be distributed to the people who sit near me, which is all good. UTV

Ratcliffe is correct in fairness. The UK has been colonised. It's been happening for 1000s of yrs.

The UK is a great mix of:

Celts
Jutes
Danes
Norse
Saxons
French
Romans
Scots
Irish
Gaels
Normans
Angles
Welsh

+ more. More recently there have been cultures from further afield and it's brilliant.

VAR "checked it" and said naah. But if the ref had given the pen, VAR would have checked it and said yeah. Makes no sense at all.

Shout out to Bogarde, thought he was brilliant tonight out of position. Players felt laboured and short of confidence, this is why winning is so difficult in the prem and impossible to maintain form all season. Victory is the main thing. #anotherone #utv #avfc

About to set off for my spiritual home. We really need to win this one tonight to put some space between us and the chasing pack. Letโ€™s get Villa park rocking, make some noise and get behind the lads! #UTV

Arsenal and Martin Zubimendi know how to break open tight games โ€“ from distance Mikel Arteta often refers to different 'weapons' his side possess - his Spanish midfielder is proving his point

Weird that this is framed as a smart strategy for Arsenal, and not an unsustainable fluke. #AVFC

Bournemouth 1-1 Aston Villa: More dropped points as title hopes fade Aston Villa have been English champions seven times in their history, but not since 1980-81. This failure to hold on to a lead at Bournemouth shows Villa are not ready to last the title race.

Dear BBC,
We didn't have "Title hopes" as we have one of the lowest net spends in the league.
Also, an away draw against a very good side with an excellent manager is not "dropped points".
Do better. #UTV

I've no doubt Emery will sort out the issues in the squad; lack of leadership, fragility in possession, lack of cutting edge up top. He's a maestro, he just needs one thing he can't control - time. Each game is a game closer to where we need to be. Beat Brighton and we're back on track #AVFC #UTV ๐Ÿฆ

Tammy should be first choice now for me. Bring Ollieโ€™s movement and strength on for last 20 mins with tired defenders #avfc

Inside Aston Villaโ€™s transfer window: Garner, Mbaye interest, Gallagher saga and old boys return We spoke to those involved in the deals to break down what happened in Villa's winter transfer window

On Jan 22, Boubacar Kamara underwent knee surgery in Lyon. The extent of the issue was a tear of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in Kamaraโ€™s left knee and not a recurrence of the ACL he sustained in 2024. More details on #AVFCโ€™s window here:

Villans. Be extra vigilant when parking. Just to top off that crappy result. My car was stolen.

Parked on Mansfield Rd & do every week. But the speed and ease of how the criminals who took my car has truly shocked me! Get some old skool security on yer cars!!!

Reform UK Suella Braverman is blaming the Left for Brexit.

She claims it was a Left Wing project, enacted by the Left.

Despite Suella Braverman being in Government and even in the Cabinet as a Conservative as it happened.

They think you are stupid.
