Time to channel our inner Brentford #AVFC

Not pretty but we won. Another gameweek where CL competitors not making inroads. Thought Alysson was bright when he came on. Beat his man in the build up to the corner/goal #AVFC

Aston Villa, Unai Emery.. what a ride. In the conversation with the big boys. Enjoy while we can, where we’ve come from to there we are now. We’l look back on these days with fondness in years to come. Drink it in #AVFC

Despite the gloomy vibe over yesterdays result Villa extend the gap to 6th by a point this gameweek #AVFC

Good point away, rooting for City tomorrow. Keep perspective fellow villains.. 8pts clear of Lpl in 6th (better GD too) all about top 5 #AVFC

Sancho looking really good so far #AVFC

Stronger looking bench!

Re Elliot loan deal. Can terms only be changed during a transfer window or can agreement be made after? #AVFC

Great come back there, thought Cash made the difference when he came on, we were more dynamic and he was playing the long switch often to keep them spread. Pleased for the youngsters and momentum maintained #AVFC

If they decide to buy at end of season. Glasner leaving in summer so here’s hoping their new manager wants him too

Guessand loan with option. IF they decide to buy we have money in summer. We save some wages until then. Is this just to bring down SCR on a player who isn’t performing and is now obsolete with Bailey back or do we plan to go again in the before the window closes? #AVFC

I’d like to think UE would want to give the CL another crack with the team he/Smith has built next year should we qualify 🤞 #AVFC

Yeah after re-registration in Feb so not this week

Is that our window done now? Gd business I’d say with Luiz plugging a gap now but also raising the baseline of our midfield longterm. Tammy provides a genuine starting option and alternate style up front. Bailey allows width and Alysson/Madjo have potential to learn and flourish under UE. UTV! #AVFC

xG FC at it again #AVFC

Good job they have such high revenue, they will be needing to pay off another managerial contract soon!

Unfortunately no, deadline was Friday lunchtime

He certainly seems happier to go long at risky times and having Abraham now adds to that option

Can’t shift the feeling that Emi Martinez is coasting this season. Does he have an eye on the World Cup? In retrospect he probably should have left in the summer (?better deal for Villa then also) As good as Bizot is it’s not good to keep changing your keeper and will be unsettling the defence #AVFC

Amortised over 4 years so around £4.5m/year. Don’t think that’s too bad (as long as he scores goals!) better wages than Malen also and offers an genuine tactical optional change up front

He’s offside! #AVFC

Good half from Villa. So much space and time on the break in the middle. Just need to be more ruthless in their box. Need a second otherwise in danger of a go ahead eagles style momentum shift #AVFC

Today’s SCR numbers are positive but they reflect last years CL income which will drop this year hence the need to sell at present to sustain 70% compliance. Shows how important successive CL qualification is to a club like Villa who want to spend, improve and attract investment #AVFC

And again the double punishment of a failure to give a foul and a second yellow which is directly followed up by a goal at the other end #AVFC

Probably a good move for a player who has never broken into the starting 11 with a World Cup coming up. Villa will be looking for something that suits our system and as good as he was Malen was always shoe-horned in. I would image both parties happy #AVFC

I was only saying yesterday Boundia’s yellow was identical to the foul merino wasn’t booked (and sent off) for against us

Seem to remember that being a standard Mourinho tactic with Chelsea and worked well

Buendia booked there for doing a Merino #AVFC

Howard Webb August headline ‘referees to award more penalties for holding in 25/26 season.’ Follows that Rogers is booked for being held against Chelsea and VAR check and clear Johnson’s 2 arm hold on Tielemans last night. Would have been a second yellow also. Follow your own directives PGMOL! #AVFC

I think I read somewhere that Barca unlikely to take Rashford permanently due to finances. Thought that might peak Emery’s interest this summer (although we have financial constraints of our own) but with Amorim leaving utd there may be potential for him to simply return there #AVFC
