@NickMiller79 @FootballCliches At what point in a game can a goal be classed as ‘early’? Personally I’m a single figure guy, but I’ve heard ‘early goal’ used on strikes scored around 25 minutes which is just bonkers surely?

@myoldmansaid Look up match day spending. Villa are like 5th from bottom. Like it or not, had it too easy for too long. I spent £80 last weekend for my two kids to have an hr in a soft play and a few jumps off a building. I know which is better value.....

When I asked Chris Heck & Ben Hatton (who set these prices back in May) to explain why it cost twice as much for a Villa fan to stand on the Holte than it did a Liverpool fan to stand on the Kop, for a Champions League game, the line that Anfield was bigger was trotted out. Villa Park is bigger than the City Ground by 12,000, but here we are, Villa fans being ripped off once again. The disrespect is just disgusting now. What's even worse is the misinformed apologists on here trying to defend such actions. There's staff at the club who can't believe how spineless fans are in just taking it.

@marshallavfc But the second we then qualified for Europe again we would be subject to the same SCR rules. We’d also massively struggle to attract any top talent with no European football to offer. It really does suck that we’re so bound by SCR, but there’s no escaping it sadly.

If Villa where not in Europe we would be able to spend alot more. So its be happy with finishing 8th or below or risk it to try to progress. We should be enjoying being in a CL fight and not worried about what happens if we dont make it. We are likely to make Europe for a 4th season in a row via the league, Spurs, United and Chelsea have all failed to do that recently #avfc
Matt Law@Matt_Law_DT

Yep and it's steadily killing the enjoyment. I find myself more wanting Villa to qualify for the CL so that the club might be able to avoid PSR and SCR trouble and less about playing Barcelona and Real Madrid etc, or dreaming of winning trophies. Which is bollocks, really.

@Alex_Berwick @AVFCTranstweet @danbardell I remember in the early days, before we all understood what he was building, there would be a frustration amongst fans if we weren’t winning games going in to 90 minutes that there was rarely ever a ‘lump it forward’. It was because even then, the belief in the plan was key

@AVFCTranstweet @danbardell But *because* the quality is lacking, in the 2nd half it becomes a problem. Why? Because as the game goes on, we think ‘WE HAVE TO WIN THIS’ and feel the pressure and stop playing the idea. They are human, and they aren’t winning, so it gets more fraught. They stop believing.

@marshallavfc Chelsea picking up 21pts from 33, despite still having to play Arsenal, Villa, United, City, Newcastle, Liverpool and Brighton seems way generous to me

This is my predicted table. I think we will win 5, draw 1 and lose 5 of the last 11 games #avfc

@_stonyd @mjmarr_star Sadly, these days, winning doesn’t start the ball rolling, revenue streams do. We’re already an attractive prospect for players (see Asensio/Rashford loans). Unfortunately we can’t continue to attract top players without the revenue stream to fund their wages.

@mjmarr_star I think the Europa League even without CL qualification would be my choice as we’d achieve silverware and worse case be back to defend it next season. Regardless of the finances we are still in the sport ‘to win’ and winning starts the ball rolling

Question for #avfc fans, as I'm genuinely curious, what do you want more this season, silverware or CL qualification? Of course, I'm aware winning the Europa League achieves both. But let's pretend for this exercise it is either/or. Which would it be? Feel free to share reasons.

Such a strange flex by @SpursOfficial fans, using the fact they can outspend and outpay @AVFCOfficial as a sign of superiority. The so-called ‘big 6’ is literally the six clubs with the highest revenue streams. It’s not a measure of anything a fan should take pride in.

@BandanaSavos I prefer to just say he’s shit, he’s got zero defensive qualities. I don’t care how good his passing range is, he’s got the motion of a boat, the awareness of a tree and the physicality of a tennis player. Nowhere near prem quality.

@Alex_Berwick Always love your analysis, bang on the money, but surely there’s a worry (currently atleast) that ‘finding a way’ so far is low xG bangers? That can’t really be sustainable. Interested to see how we tackle the issue of needing to score more ‘basic’ goals

That’s the challenge now. We’re a very good side. Can we become a really great one? Look at the next 6 weeks of fixtures! Time to find out. #avfc

#avfc conceded half as many goals as last season - 11/22 - in 13 games. It’s a correction, we were too easy to play against last season, less so this. Even when we were RUBBISH at the start of the season, only Palace took us apart.

@EC_AVFC All these doomsdayers need to be very careful what they wish for. We landed one of the best managers in the world, who has worked wonders for us.

Unai Emery has given me opportunities to see things at Villa I never thought I would. First it was European away games, then Champions League qualification, then beating the best teams in the world. Nothing could make me turn on him. He’s earned a rough season. #AVFC

@WhatTheForkLads Maybe, maybe not. Players have done far worse and pushed far harder to get moves and come back from it, relationships can heal

@Tom49790306 @Ryan_AVFCC Winning a trophy the only measure of success is it? So the 92 professional clubs, only what, 7/8 of them can say they had a good season?

@KevHughesie Within the first 3 minutes he’d expressed his disdain for Emery’s comments on the competition and yet also remarked on how he was surprised how strong our line up was 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

Not against the concept at all, but I think that’s two out of three FA Cup matches live on ITV for Villa this season - and Lee Dixon has given MOTM to a losing opposition player both times 😂 #AVFC
