David Redford

@PolyglotChris @marshallavfc Exactly what a vocal minority of our fan base on here seem to want... the day Emery leaves this us will genuinely be one of my saddest I'll ever have supporting this club

@marshallavfc West Ham caused their own downfall by getting rid of David Moyes because his football 'wasn't the West Ham way'. A lesson for all to be careful what you wish for.

West Ham won a European Trophy 3 years ago and may be going down. Yes recently we been disappointing but we need to enjoy being in the top 5 and in a European semi fimal because football is brutal. You may not have those good times again for years #avfc

@goal_villa46296 @RattyAVFC @RandomAndyLyon And despite the well over £100Mil profit they made from those three players, their net spend is still way higher than ours. Everton, Wolves & Brighton are the only clubs to have a lower net spend than us, which does suggest to me we are being hamstrung more than most clubs by PSR

@DavidRedford10 @RattyAVFC @RandomAndyLyon They literally sold their 3 top players in the last 12 to 6 months, and have adequately replaced them with players who are in some cases performing better than those sold. They have their own internal restrictions to abide by, which are stricter than what we operate under.

I realised months and months ago, I didn't enjoy the football under Emery anymore. I felt it had become stale, slow, overcomplicated and down right boring to watch. Football for me should be a get away for 90 mins, and not leave me feeling frustrated most weekends #avfc

@goal_villa46296 @RattyAVFC @RandomAndyLyon They don't have the same restrictions as us becoming they're not in Europe. UEFA's PSR and wage to cost ratio rules are much stricter than the Prem's

@RattyAVFC @RandomAndyLyon Just not true. You have picked the worst of the worst as your example though. What about the Bournemouth managers style and the restrictions he works under?

@calmincher @jamsey55 @SweezzyAV Apart from two, maybe three players, this is a mid table squad Emery is working absolute miracles with. Been saying this for pretty much his entire tenure

@jamsey55 @SweezzyAV I think if we lose Thursday, we get 1 point out those last 3 games. And whether we qualify or not it’ll leave a staleness around the club. We’ve needed a major revamp on the squad for a while now, and I sometimes wonder how we’ve managed to achieve European football each year

Hell is gonna break lose if and probably when we go out on Thursday

@jamese9930 Can still be mathematically sealed if Brighton (today) and Bournemouth (tomorrow) both fail to win

Lets just get the job done this weekend. Beat a rubbish Spurs team and all but secure Champions League Football. Come on Villa, just get over the line and go into Forest with a spring in our step. Another drab performance and I fear for Thursday #avfc

@SocialEngland66 Watching both at the same time >>>>

There’ll be some people who’s watched the whole saints Ipswich game tonight and missed quite possibly the biggest classic champions league game you’ll ever see.

@Mumtydumpty @joeg03_ "First time in ages." Three out of four of these are from the last 12 months btw. He 100% has a problem, the poor lad really needs some help honestly. The fact he has a child makes it even worse really, he's not a 21 year old kid anymore

@joeg03_ This is the first time in ages he has been pictured compromised. Perhaps he is tired from his job. Tired as a father. Maybe he is drunk. So what. He’s only human and it’s not happening day in day out. I don’t drink myself but I don’t like the way he is being given a hard time.

Was funny when he was younger but he just hasn’t grown out of it, not to mention he’s got a baby at home for fuck sake

@limebradley22 @avfc1489 @AVFCSupport Trust me. Fulham at the weekend felt like another Brighton away from two years ago (weather, performance, scoreline, circumstances all exactly the same) Thursday had better not be another Olympiakos

@DavidRedford10 @avfc1489 @AVFCSupport Yes you are right about that the finals right after the Liverpool game ain’t it I ain’t gonna cope these next 14 days 💜💙😂

🚨 Supporters are reminded that tickets are on sale to Adult and Junior Members from 9:30 AM this morning. #AVFC

@apwOfficial @AVFCOfficial @TheVillaHome @EuropaLeague I'd happily take a draw there tbh. I reckon 1-1 again at their place, 2-1 Villa at ours

@AVFCOfficial @TheVillaHome @EuropaLeague Hopefully we can leave with a first leg lead, no time for mistakes UTV

The @EuropaLeague semi-final first leg is next 💫

@limebradley22 @avfc1489 @AVFCSupport If we don't make the Europa Final, agreed. Think if we do tho it'll be moved to Friday night last minute (like Spurs last season was when they made the Final) as the Final is on the Wednesday

@avfc1489 @AVFCSupport Probably be a Monday night which will be shit the prem is becoming more unwatchable every season

@TheVillaTV1 @JS21093 He's on the brink of securing as many Champions League campaigns as we've had in the rest of our entire history combined. That achievement alone is one that will go down in the history books, along with the countless records he and his players have broken during his tenure

@JS21093 I still don't get why fans are acting like what Emery has done will go down in the history books. Do trophies not matter anymore?

Absolutely this. But if they never get over the line they'll go down as another nearly team slightly better than O'Neills

@PolymarketSport Does this only apply if we finish 5th? Or is it also true if we finish 3rd/4th as well?

🚨FACT: As things stand, if Aston Villa win the Europa League & finish 5th in the Prem, BRIGHTON will qualify for the Champions League next season as England's 6th team. Villa have a 50% chance to win Europa League, per Polymarket

🍿 Sit back and enjoy a piece of Jason Cowley excellence! #UpTheYeltz

@Offsidepanda @ACDAFC Euro 2028 perhaps, if we win it, because all of it is on home soil but yeah even then I'm not sure

@ACDAFC Don’t think anything will top the tournament, even if we win one.

The vibes leading up to the final of EURO 2021 combined with lockdown ending were emaculate. To this day part of me still believes that this result could’ve been the turning point in our national psyche.

@BCFC No one should ever go to a game and not come home again, rest in peace Paul

Everyone at the Club is deeply saddened by today’s news about one of our own, Paul Pike. We are grateful to all those—both in Derby and back here in Birmingham—who gave their time and support during the search in recent days, including both West Midlands and Derbyshire Police, who have been working tirelessly in the background. The compassion shown reflects the very best of our footballing community. Our thoughts and condolences are with Paul’s family, friends, and loved ones at this incredibly difficult time.

@97coreymcknight @RobGWarren4 And practically the whole tournament was on home soil as well, even the kits were Euro 96 vibes

@RobGWarren4 2021 as well cos nobody expected us to get there and we actually beat half decent teams as well, Germany and Denmark to get there

Obviously 2021. If Southgate didn’t shit his pants we win that, Italy were cack & there for the taking. 2024 Spain were much better than us.

@TheWeeRabidDug @England @wembleystadium He was the best player on the pitch tonight (other than Cole) but OK

@England @wembleystadium Absolute shite game full of utter chancers, especially that Rashford clown - get him in the fucking bin

It ends 1-1 at @WembleyStadium in the #ThreeLions' first game of the year.

@SkylarSkye3 @England @wembleystadium Emi Martinez at Lille in the UECL two years ago. Even more ironic when you see who Ugarte was brought on for tonight...

@England @wembleystadium Is Ugarte the first player to be yellow carded twice and not be sent off? 😭

@snekwowijwndkd @Wrighti1 As did I, and I got verbal abuse for holding mine up, only two other people in my block joined and one of them row behind me quickly put his down when he saw the looks coming our way

@Wrighti1 Completely agree. They’re ripping the soul out of the club. Question is are we as fans going to do something about it and make sure that doesn’t happen or are we gonna just let it happen? I held up a red card a year or two ago but only about 30 other people joined me

Sadly I fully expect price increases for #avfc next season😭. If we get Champions League football I also fully expect our 1st £100+ GA ticket introduced. With my dad considering calling it a day due to old age frailty anyway a big increase could also see me walking away .....😭

@ArsenalFC_JB @Centre4291 @TeleFootball @JPercyTelegraph We have the 7th highest wage bill in the division atm so even by that metric we're overachieving massively

@Centre4291 @TeleFootball @JPercyTelegraph What about wage bill to revenue?

Aston Villa are defying the odds in their pursuit of Champions League football 🚫 No penalties awarded 😠 Most fouled team in the Premier League 📈 Most points gained from losing positions @JPercyTelegraph examines how Unai Emery’s side are keeping their European dream alive ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/…
