Rare that a football match happens at Villa Park where you feel like a hostage. This was one

Villa v Brighton was roughly Championship quality. An awful watch.

I counted 5 players slipped over on the pitch and that’s been a consistent theme at Villa Park last 3 games (Everton, Brentford). What’s going on?

And to boot, I genuinely think she's gotten worse at it - not better

I've always thought of her as someone who starts off with a point, and then just keeps digging from there. Within a minute you forget what her point was - good or bad - and start to focus on her unraveling logic.

3 Eni Aluko bombshells – Simon Jordan off-air row, Gary Neville singled out Eni Aluko was part of an in-depth interview with Simon Jordan and Jim White on talkSPORT, discussing her role in football punditry and comments she made about Ian Wright and opportunities

The Eni Aluko row is utterly bonkers. Keeps putting herself in positions to be absolutely tore apart. share.google/FvQnMD21BV4P...

Heard she'll discount Villa fans

Turkish cab driver taught me all I need to know about Fenerbahce and Jhon Duran John Townley chatted about Jhon Duran and Marco Asensio with his Turkish cab driver before Aston Villa's match with Fenerbahce

Chauffeur sorted if Aston Villa return to Istanbul in May. Ünal the Turkish cabbie loved chatting Jhon Duran, Marco Asensio and Alpay Özalan through Google Translate. 🇹🇷 🚕
