Some of you may remember seeing this earlier in the summer… Louie, our smaller twin boy, died on 12th October after 104 days in @BWC_NHS neonatal…we are utterly devastated. The staff at Birmingham Women’s were amazing… justgiving.com/fundraising/he…

#avfc Pau is so good. We are so much better with him in the team… no debate about it any more!

Believe, Villans. Before the Final, I wanted to take in the moment to share a few words with you all 💜 theplayerstribune.com/ezri-konsa-pre…

@theavfcfaithful @FootRankings @AVSCSeattleLion Have been wondering how important the pots are now that the league system is in place and you play 2 from each pot anyway?

@FootRankings @AVSCSeattleLion Do we become pot 1 if we win the Europa league?

Hate to be critical but @DV1874 very quiet….

@AmandaWilson910 It’s an important question…. Having managed through 3, it’s a heavy load.

Last week my ethics application for my PhD study was accepted. My research question is ‘What is the emotional experience of headteachers as they engage with the protocols that follow the murder of a student’. Yes it’s a heavy subject, but it’s one I feel needs discussing.

As I said…. And it was always going to be Gallagher! It’s like a script!

I’ve been an #avfc fan for nearly 44 years! Being born a few days before we won the European Cup. Sadly, I can tell you the outcomes from today and Thursday coming are utterly predictable from us! I may be pessimistic, but I also think it’s realistic….

@Headteacherchat 16 years in leadership spanning 4 as AH and 3 as DHT…. With this being my 9th as Head Teacher.

How long have you been in school leadership?

@danbardell @McGregor1874 Tactics all over the shop. Watkins missing chance after chance. Buendia very poor. Rogers terrible. Mings awful….. could go on and on….

@danbardell @McGregor1874 My prediction of a 4-0 loss is quickly out of the window! Think it’ll be 4-1 now! Play like Friday night and it could be more! #AVFC

You should never criticise a team selection before a game as you can look silly and obviously Unai knows best…. But oh my… #AVFC

@AVFCTheReligion No…. Nor should we playing the way we have in recent weeks!

We aren’t making champs league are we 😔

@HolteendHorizon Rogers has to go. We need the money for a refresh of the squad.

Whole season basically got ripped up the moment the 3 injuries happened, we all knew it deep down just didn’t want to accept it. We’re punching above our weight anyway when they were fit. It’s Europa league or bust now else Emery & Rogers will be gone in the summer.

@llewelyn20 @Headteacherchat I suspect, whatever happens, that one of the consequences of all of this is that permanent exclusions will go up!

Been reading the early leaks, and speaking to a couple of people about the send white paper. I hope I’m wrong, and over simplifying things, but I have a horrible feeling that we are about to return to the days of ‘action’ and ‘action +’.

@adamboxer1 Tbh I don’t think we should be normalising school required screen time at home either. Makes it much harder for adults to hold the line.

#avfc after that red card, I’d be tempted to get Luiz, Rogers and Onana off. Don’t risk injury to key players when we are up against it so much….

@SarahLudford Get our crumbling schools sorted first….

Missive tells us of ‘Heating Outage in the Palace’ (of Westminster) & we’re advised to ‘dress appropriately’ until it’s fixed. Maintenance guys work miracles keeping this crumbling building going, so mustn’t grumble. (Don’t bother with ‘enough hot air’ jokes; heard them all!)

@HolteendHorizon Thought Rogers was pretty poor today!

Was Onana dropped because of the interview he gave & comments made? Absolute disaster of a weekend. Top 5 very much in jeopardy now, the qualities gone with the injuries apart from Rogers

Watkins - poor all game and pops up with a vital goal! Typical of him though, no time to think so gets it right. #avfc

Watkins looks shot…. #avfc
