Especially her, MP for Ladywood. A fair few immigrants live there.

Source: I live in a ward right next to hers.

She’s surprisingly obtained a bit of power and there she goes…

What science persuaded you, Mistake Not, that humans, alone among all animals, can drive cars, read books, have complex language, write poetry, and be hugely influenced by societal constructs

I’m not sure money is his motivation. Guillem Balague’s book is very insightful. Real UniΓ³n is his absolute passion but I think V Sports investment isn’t conditional on him staying.

Villa don’t get Champions League, with the ageing squad we have and the new SCR Premier League rules, he’ll leave imo

I’m really not sure about Emery staying. Regardless of his options.

If we don’t qualify for Champions League, which is his primary ambition to win, we won’t even be in a position to challenge to qualify for it next season.

True. It’s hard to blame the players. They’re not out there trying to be crap. It’s on the guy that picks them.

Cheers to Newcastle. Dodgy owners but their fans are first class.

Villa plan a tactical masterclass to beat Newton Heath & The Plastic Generation in the borough of Trafford and tonight will be forgiven #avfc

Apparently Malen wanted to go, you can’t blame him with the World Cup coming up.

But we were teased weren’t we, against Burnley Unai played 4-2-2-2 and he played as a withdrawn forward slightly behind Ollie. Scored twice, we looked good, Emery binned the system

Guessand wasn’t good for us but then, he was played wildly out of position. I remember Jacob Tanswell saying that Villa scouts watching a game where he played on the left was what convinced Emery to sign him ffs πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Yep. I mean, I agree with letting Malen go if you think he doesn’t fit. But then you bring Tammy in, who you’ve apparently been chasing for 2 years, and don’t play him either. It’s baffling.

I’m not sure he was like this at any previous club.

Wasn’t it January last year that Arsenal bid Β£40m? Amazing to think

Completely agree with this.

Yes, they’re only human, time and time again these players will hit heights but when the going gets tough, those Villa boys shrink.

But Emery has had opportunities to sell some of these Dean Smith inherited players and hasn’t spotted the peak times to do so #avfc

For me, worst thing is, my primary desire for us to qualify for the Champions League is not to play Real Madrid, Bayern or Barca.

It’s so we can spend a few quid, keep Emery, Rogers, Kamara and rebuild.

It’s hard to enjoy football, even when we’re riding high in the table #avfc

04.03.2026 21:44 β€” πŸ‘ 10    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Yep. We’ll end up in the same position, 6th. If we’re lucky.

Same again in the second except we haven’t played well.

Outplayed and out-coached

But the goal difference goes from being similar to Man U and Liverpool to being similar to Brentford

Take them all off and take a 3-0 forfeit & fine #avfc

Wheels are off. This could get very embarrassing #avfc

Probably not a coincidence that their coach is the most LinkedIN coach ever

Didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize so decides to swing to the other extreme.

It’s a shame cos I think we’ve played pretty well but we’re just not as good as they are.

Small differences in offsides have cost us but they’ve outplayed and out-coached us in the first half, they always seem to have a spare man in attack. #avfc

Ollie hat-trick, couple of assists from Bailey and one from Buendia.

You’ll see #avfc

Not off the refs backside I hope, cos play will be stopped and it’ll be a drop ball lol

Just to compound things, it looks like Chelsea are going 3 at the back #avfc

Well, it’s on Unai’s head after all.

I hope he’s right cos Villa Park is an unforgiving place if you keep doing the same things and keep getting the same results #avfc

Sancho instead of Bailey, Rogers left, Barkley in the 10.

And maybe Bogarde for Luiz πŸ€”
