Been for a walk, very emotional thinking about my Mom who's got dementia and won't know about tonight. I wish more than anything she'd call and say " They did it aaar babbi, they did it!". Thinking about younger Villans, tired I'm sure of the stories of Rotterdam and 1982, who have a chance on the world stage to show the tifo, passion and colour of our club and city and region, take that baton and run with it, out tifo Dortmund, I dare ya! That's your challenge. Thinking about Sid Cowans, in care now, I hope beyond hope that tonight touches him deep in his very big heart, if there's a God, it will. Thinking about family and friends who are excitedly messaging, who can't quite believe it! Thinking about Villa Park, welcoming Barcelona, Juventus and Madrid, the grandest of old clubs welcoming Europe's finest. Again. Drink it in younger Villans, I've waited 41 years for this, I've been a child, teen wannabe, had a full football career, 20+ years retired from playing to get here, so if you're that 21 year old Holte Ender, make every memory, go on every trip you can, be a tangible part of the passion and noise to come. It all goes very quickly, trust me. And finally to Unai Emery, the players, staff and owners. Thank you. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels connected to the club again after a long time where many of us us were genuinely worried whether there would be a Villa. A great name. A glorious past. A bright future. Villans, puff your chests out, and enjoy it. Love, Stanley Victor.💜💙

Aston Villa are European semi-finalists for the first time since 1982 and you were a huge part of this win tonight. Thank you for your unparalleled support. UP THE EUROVILLA! ✊

All my years of playing, watching, supporting and coaching football. When will people learn to play to the bloody whistle!!!!! #ytfc

@JeffStelling do you think Villa will get top 4 this season? From a ever wishful optimistic Villa fan #mhmaskjeff

My boys! #UTV

Speak up, interrupt. 🗣️ We worked alongside Avon and Somerset Police as well as other clubs within Somerset to help tackle violence against women and girls. Be an upstander not a bystander. #SpeakUpInterrupt 👋 #YTFC 💚

Might as well make football a non contact sport if they are going to give that as a penalty, joke

@Teamgrassroots_ @cpinkawa this is good

✍️ We received an email from a coach at the end of his tether telling us he was quitting and the reasons behind. 🗣️ "When I first started 6 years ago with a bunch of 5 year olds with parents who had no expectations of grandeur and we’re happy to watch their children play. I can’t tell you when or why this changed but instead of the nice texts “really appreciate that little talk you had with x he’s buzzing about what you said”....Read HERE ⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️ teamgrassroots.co.uk/dear-grassroot…

@p1tmxn_08 Wow what a brilliant video!

Wow, this made me cry. Incredibly well made vid, it’s okay not to be okay is the best advice i’ve ever been told. Keep checking in on those around you #WorldMentalHealthDay

@clynch_abi Matty Cash @mattycash622

My fella said the other day there’s some footballers who for whatever reason we all exclusively call by their full name - e.g Billy Gilmour - and I can’t stop thinking about it, I want more examples

@sophieyeo94 Yes!!! It’s really good!

Anyone watched heartstopper? Is it worth the watch?

@jamiemanley76 @PenMillLadies Was it the blatant???

@PenMillLadies exactly what happened Sunday 🤦🏼‍♂️

@katieadams_2 I had to clear all cache and cookies to get it to work, it’s certain internet browsers, not the most friendly of platforms tbh

😍😍😍 #UTV

Today I’ve experienced a parent feel I’m not a good enough coach, without knowing a single thing about my background, simply because I’m a woman!!! We have come a long way but there’s still massive strides to make ⚽️ #womeninfootball #femalecoach #uefaC #womenthatcoach

25 years ago today …what a amazing club up the villa
