If people were able to legally watch 3pm kick offs in this country at a reasonable price, the market for FireSticks would drop off significantly. Everywhere else on earth, you can watch every Premier League game for a fraction of the price UK consumers are offered.

Projectionist POV: PROJECT HAIL MARY in IMAX 70mm film. Opening weekend of packed houses loving this film and getting to see it in this very special format. #FilmedForImax 🎥

It might be the most endearing movie of all time, genuinely cannot fathom someone not having a good time during it. Gosling puts on an amazing one man acting performance and his relationship with Rocky had me tearing up multiple times, great duo. Visuals off the charts as expected and the practical sets are awesome. If you don’t see/support this in theaters you’re legally not allowed to complain about Hollywood making slop.

Most movies, I leave going “yes, but.” “Yes, but the lighting was too dim.” “Yes, but the sound mix was terrible.” “Yes, but they skipped this major plot point.” (If based on a book.) “Yes, but they completely miscast this character.” Not “Project Hail Mary.” It hits all the marks, doesn’t assume the audience is stupid, and manages to cover 500 pages of plot in a 2.5-hour movie. Sure, they compressed some bits, but they did it *intelligently.* Score: 10/10. Reading the book first is recommended but not required. Go see it on the biggest screen you can.

What big Unai has done with this team is next to legendary. We've had, what, four European quarter finals in our history pre-Emery? He's done 75% of that three years on the trot. That is legendary in the context of Villa's history.

@monsieur_robesp May sound like a boring old man but the whole sport has got worse since the 90s.

@monsieur_robesp Is thats the case I think I may just lose total interest. The sport now rewards off field performance more than on. Getting 5th is better than a cup. VAR, offside, penalties for nothing, allowing 5 subs, time wasting.... Podcast style banter commentary I could go on....

Everton v Chelsea, Saturday: The Premier League Punishment Derby. In the home corner: 8 points deducted, law suits faced, prize money lost, the primary cause of it all: building an incredible new stadium, which hosts the game. In the away corner: Corrupt payments to agents for players who led the team to sporting accomplishments. All punished with a slap and tickle. Hotels sold to themselves to comply with PSR. Chelsea Football Club: They Respect The Ball, But Not The Rules.

Man City are being investigated for 115 charges of financial fraudulence between 2009 and 2018. Chelsea have been found guilty of financial fraudulence between 2011 and 2018. These two sides won 4 of the 9 Premier League titles in the period they are being investigated for... It's surely got to be considered the most corrupt period in Premier League history? It's also interesting to think of the impact that these titles had on their positions in 2026.

Genuinely think the club are missing a trick not leaning into the nickname Villans, the Villa Villain character and our association with the Prince of Darkness more At the moment the tifos, fireworks, lights, music and videos on the big screen all seem quite separate and disjointed If they could incorporate it heavily in our marketing and pre-match build up and link all elements to the same theme… making it an identity… it could make Villa Park a difficult place to come Embrace the dark side… 😅 #AVFC

I wonder if Everton, Forest, Newcastle, Villa may band together and sue?? Surely some clubs having to sell their best players to stay in regulation and others getting points deductions for failing them while Chelsea get a small fine means there is a case?

Chelsea breach the rules → £10.75m fine and a suspended transfer ban. Aston Villa follow the rules → forced to sell players to satisfy PSR. So let’s get this straight… Break the rules and pay a fine. Follow the rules and dismantle your squad. #EPL @danbardell

@GawMufc I think we will miss out on both at the minute....its one thing being in a race with Forest or Brighton but when its Chelsea, United and Liverpool...its hard to be confident. This week is massive.....get through v Lille, win v West Ham. Then try to get Tielemans back for run in

🤡 There were 8 Man United players who cost more than our record signing (Onana), and all 11 cost more than the next most expensive Villa player (Watkins). We are on a crap run - but we are competing on an entirely different level.

@GawMufc Villa were useless on Sunday. Error after error. But we are an entirely different side with Kamara and Tielemans (and recently McGinn). There are many reasons why that sort of loss impacts us more than some clubs but thats nothing new. The fact we are still in 4th place is crazy

@GawMufc Yeah may not be accurate, it was taken from another tweet. But Emery is working wonders on a approx £30m net spend since he started is remarkable. He is not without his flaws, but he has done enough to earn a move to any club who is looking for a manager.
