@johntownley11 @AVFC_News @GHodgsonSport Why not give him a try

Lewis Dobbin, who has scored eight goals for Preston this season, says that his long-term goal remains to play for #AVFC. "I went with the aspirations to play for Villa. That's always my goal, that's always the long-term goal," he told @GHodgsonSport. birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football…

@johntownley11 @AVFC_News I respect Gerrard tbh, he tried his best I don’t get the hate, what’s done is done and it brought us Unai, Kamara and Digne

Steven Gerrard on The Overlap: "I've got nothing bad to say about Villa. I need to get that in. Villa are a really good club, good people, fantastic facilities. The opportunity was given to me, and it didn't work out, so that's on me." #AVFC birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football…

@FabrizioRomano Bros begging for Madrid how pathetic from Enzo Fernandez

🚨👀 Enzo Fernández: “I always tell my wife Valu that if I have to choose a city to live in Europe, I really like Madrid”. “It's very similar to Buenos Aires, also because of the food”, told Luzu Tv. 🥘

No more hypotheticals. 104 matches. Let it begin. 🫨 #FIFAWorldCup

@316simsim No one’s forcing you to watch it

@OfficialFPL Buying palmer, keeping him for 2 games where he blanked, transferring him out before wolves and burley where he got 35 points total

What's your most-foolish #FPL decision so far this season? 🤔

@xGPhilosophy Shows how good he is rather than how unreliable xG is

This season, Morgan Rogers has achieved a Goals/Expected Goals ratio of 2.39. This level of clinical finishing is only likely to occur once in every 1.6 million individual player seasons. Once in 1.6 million.

@McFlybowy Facts, what a player

Over 400 career goals League title with Wolfsburg, EPL with ManCity, UCL runner up with Inter. Bundesliga Golden boot, Seria A Golden boot, UEFA Europa League Golden boot. On top of that led Bosnia to 2 World Cup, scoring 73 goals in 143 Cap for the National team. He doesn’t get enough praises for how good he is.

@jamesallcott @StuntPegg But he don’t though does he, Jude living off Euros moments, why not stick Watkins upfront instead of Kane then.

“I love Morgan Rogers but Jude Bellingham has to be in the team” On The Ripple Effect this week, I'm joined by @StuntPegg to talk about Italy, I pick my England World Cup XI, and we discuss whether Harry Maguire should be on the plane ✈️

So I went through the Villa (#avfc) end of year report and, here's my take on it. Record revenue of £378.1m — that's a 37% rise, up over £100m from last year. Highest turnover the club's ever seen, driven hard by the UCL run to the quarter finals plus commercial income exploding 69%> to £70m. Sponsorship alone up 31% to £28.6m. The commercial machine under Heck is chugging along as he intended. Especially from a £89.5m loss the year before, they've swung to a £17m profit after tax. The owners pumped £69.3m into capex — stadium hospitality upgrades, new retail spots, fan experience tweaks, Bodymoor Heath improvements, and getting The Warehouse over the line. North Stand redevelopment prep is now underway. Which can only be referred to as a smart money play going into infrastructure. They've done the internal restructuring play (women's team and Warehouse rights shifted within the NSWE group) — same loophole others have used because the Premier League left the door wide open after Chelsea and City. Like I said earlier "There should be no complaints here; if you want to compete, you use what's available until they close it." PSR-wise, this profit gives real breathing room in the rolling three-year calc. Previous years had heavy losses, but this £17m black number changes the picture. Villa stay fully compliant with the EPL rules. That means no more panic-selling your best players every summer just to balance the books. What this means for Villa's transfer spending next season? This creates proper legroom. You're talking potential net spend in the £30-80m+ range (before any sales *agreed or obligated* and exact rolling figures), assuming commercial keeps growing. Europa League means some UEFA income drop-off, but the commercial base is now more permanent and the stadium upgrades will keep feeding revenue. Less reliance on one big European run. NSWE have stuck to the plan: sustainable growth, invest in squad and the club itself, avoid the reckless overspend that kills clubs. They've already sunk hundreds of millions in — this shows the strategy is working. Bottom line: These are strong accounts. Villa have turned a corner financially. Record top line, first profit in ages, heavy but targeted investment in the future, and actual PSR flexibility heading into the next windows. No more "we must flog Watkins or Rogers" nonsense every close season. The club is in a far healthier spot than 12-18 months ago.

We need to talk about Zion Suzuki. 🇯🇵 Growing up in Japan as a half-Ghanaian goalkeeper, he stood out early — and with that came extra scrutiny. In a position where mistakes are never forgiven, every error, every moment was amplified more than most. At Urawa Red Diamonds, he was thrown into the first team young with huge expectations and little protection. When things went wrong, the criticism wasn’t quiet — people questioned his level and even whether he belonged. So he left for Sint-Truiden. A tougher, faster, more physical environment where reputation meant nothing — only performance. It wasn’t smooth, the criticism followed, but he kept going, kept improving, and learned to handle the pressure. Now with Japan, he’s not there just for talent — he’s there because he endured being doubted, analysed, and tested from the very start… and never folded. 👏 And now he’s just kept a clean sheet against England, to help Japan become the first Asian team in history to beat the Three Lions. ✅
