@TyBracey No it’s about effort and performance Last night was an embarrassment

So by Twitter logic, Nottingham Forest MUST be trying to relegate themselves in the hunt for a trophy putting out a weakened squad right? Is that how it works?

@JUSTIN_AVFC_ Not the players it’s the performance You know this

Absolutely disgusting from Forest how dare they bring the game into disrepute!!!

@Real_Rob_Warner The approach, effort and integrity to the league was badly missing last night. Don’t care who wears the shirts, this was an embarrassment to the club

What's the difference between "squad rotation" and "fielding a weakened team"? PSR. 6 or 7 clubs in the league are able to "rotate" and their managers are praised for it. Everyone else fields a weakened team because the rules ensure a massive drop-off from first XI to back-ups.

@J_Tanswell It’s an embarrassing episode for the club Total disregard for supporters or the integrity of the league Not proud of Villa today

There came a jarring discord between what fans wanted — energy, excitement, forward thinking, basically anything that showed a desire to win — and what #AVFC seemed to favour, which was to channel priorities towards Thursday. The mood is on a knife-edge: nytimes.com/athletic/72509…

@johntownley11 It’s an embarrassing episode for Villa Fans should have their money refunded Terrible for the league as well, we play full strength against West Ham but put zero effort in against Spurs I know the bigger picture and that but I think this does no favours for us as a club

Aston Villa let themselves down on a night when they could've all but confirmed their UCL place. One touch in Spurs' box in the first half is woeful. Unai Emery's lack of animation and HT subs suggested this game was merely about turning up. Huge pressure now on next week. #AVFC

@J_Tanswell Nobody appears to give a shit

The usual animated touchline - Emery kicking every ball, subs warming up - have seen them all turn into statues. Subs not moving, hands on hips, Emery with hands in pockets. #AVFC

@keevs_89 Nothin g personal just the insufferable Sky promoted coverage. Your owners commentating on a game against a Welsh rival, the constant lingering shots of your Hollywood owners if they’re at the game - oh look he’s changed his shirt again . It’s like you e become one of their top 6

The whole of the EFL routing for Derby or Hull to get 6th spot tomorrow. Honestly don’t understand the hate towards us. A club who nearly died, ran to the ground, beats the odds and is potentially 4 games from the PL. How can you dislike that? #WxmAFC 🔴⚪️

@FrankieMaguire Yeah I feel low too Concerned by our lack of quality up front these last 2 games. Have a feeling Forest will score at VP so we need a big big performance next week

Feel low. All the years of following Villa have done this. Wasn't optimistic going into the game but felt we'd managed it well & were in the ascendency. To give away that penalty is laughably... yep, of course. Take our chances next week & we can do it. We'll see. #avfc

@johntownley11 @AVFC_News Can be such a good player but I wouldn’t be over concerned if we could get the same money for him in the summer

Amadou Onana came off against Nottingham Forest with a new injury, which he first felt before half-time, but Unai Emery is hopeful he could recover within days. #AVFC birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football…

@HoltecastPod 4th semi-final defeat

3️⃣ word review, #AVFC fans? ⤵️

@J_Tanswell @nottmtails @TheAthleticFC 4 consecutive semi final defeats Big big performance and mentality needed next week. This is surely last chance for this group

@joshxhowie Good luck So sorry that my country has become like this I walk past synagogues walking my Dog on Saturdays and despair at the required security staff, fences etc. I’m Christian but have fabulous Jewish neighbours, we help each other out. We all know where the problem is. Go well

I’m speaking here tonight. I have no easy answers. But you better believe I’ll call out what the problem is.

@who_knows_anon Very good Not watched the show in 20 years but that was proper @CorrieStreetTV writers please take note

I don’t watch Eastenders. But whoever wrote, directed and thought of this, they deserve an award. I hope that’s the way we all get to go out. Live is too short.

@AwayDaysClub_ Luxury Remember going for a pee at Oldham away on a typically torrential rain night, and realised mid pee it was still raining on my head

Away days weren’t for the weak back then 😭

@SkyFootball It’s the financial doping final that nobody wants

The FA Cup final is SET! 🔥

@EmiratesFACup It’s the financial doping final nobody wants

The stage is set 🤩 Who are you backing to win the 2025-26 #EmiratesFACup Final? 🏆

@AmbJapanUK @k_h3021 @imymimymi Sir it’s an honour to have you in our country

Enjoyed so much taking part in Shakespeare’s Birthday Parade in Stratford-upon-Avon!!😄 Popular 🇯🇵Skakespearean actor Yamato Kochi and his wife, actress,Maimi joined the parade from Japan 👍 @k_h3021 @imymimymi #ShakespearesBirthday

@J_Tanswell We were not unlucky, didn’t get bad decisions against , and were not beaten by a better team Not sure what that was today, the performance was so low key Thought wed only need to score to win today, but in truth once went behind we never looked like we’d equalise

Unai Emery says he was happy with the performance but not the result: "Those four chances in 90 minutes are something we can think that we can score one goal (from). We weren’t clinical." #AVFC

@johntownley11 @AVFC_News Been very low energy Looked like they’d settled for no goals at half time but it’s a much harder game now Start so slow sometimes

HT: Villa trail at the break after Ryan Sessegnon scored late in the first half, firing in after Emi Martinez initially saved Sasa Lukic's header. Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins both came close to opening the scoring for Villa 10 minutes before half-time. Fulham 1-0 #AVFC

@BBCMOTD @KatharineMerry Great program ruined by DEI hires and woke agenda. Used to be a punctuation in the whole weekend but became irrelevant You won’t care though, not bothered to be producing programs people actually want to watch

An incredible 52-year journey comes to an end. Following extensive consideration, BBC Sport has made the difficult decision to say goodbye to Football Focus at the end of this season. First broadcast in 1974, Football Focus is a testament to the brilliant team who have worked on it over the years and, of course, the audience. The programme has been a staple of the BBC’s football coverage for decades, providing fans with interviews, analysis and stories from across the game ahead of the weekend’s fixtures. But changing audience behaviours mean fans are now increasingly consuming football content in different ways and we need to respond appropriately as we face difficult decisions around how the licence fee is spent. Fans are accessing discussion, highlights, analysis and news through digital platforms and on-demand viewing and as viewing habits continue to evolve, it is right that BBC Sport adapts how it brings football coverage to the widest audiences across television, radio, online and to its extensive social platforms. BBC Sport boasts a strong football rights portfolio and is set to significantly expand its digital output this year growing content across BBC platforms, as well as a bold new slate of exclusive shows on YouTube. Featuring fresh formats, big personalities and more frequent, always-on content tailored for digital audiences, the expansion will bring fans closer to the game than ever before delivering more high-quality, accessible and engaging football coverage at scale. We will release further details on these plans in the coming months.
