@llCoNMaNll @villareport Exactly my point. You can’t maintain match sharpness and match fitness without replicating a proper match, hence the need for the game in the first place. 🤦🏻‍♂️

@VillaHarty @villareport Training and behind closed doors games are not physical at all just a glorified keep ball session if youve taken part in one you would know

🚨 Jadon Sancho has left the pitch in a sling after a shoulder injury. #avfc

@llCoNMaNll @villareport Yeah, because no one has ever been injured in training or a behind closed doors game! 🤦🏻‍♂️

@VillaHarty @villareport But when players get injured as a result of said friendly and miss crucial matches after the break what is the point? You can stay sharp in training and small sided games

@RyanLun06690093 @villareport It doesn’t though. They needed a game to keep up fitness levels and match sharpness, injuries happen in training anyway, they’d have played a match behind closed doors if this didn’t happen, where injuries also happen. The fact it was streaming or had a crowd is irrelevant 🤷🏻‍♂️

@VillaHarty @villareport My point still stands whether you like it or not.

@RyanLun06690093 @villareport Ah, you’re right. It was the playing in front of a crowd that caused the injury. I mean, players literally never get injuries in training or behind closed doors games. Have a listen to yourself! 🙄

@VillaHarty @villareport At this stage of the season, fighting for top 4 and in Europe with limited options, players only recently returning from injury, the club has a duty to minimise risk. How many other premier league teams are overseas playing matches in front of crowds? None as far as im aware.

@RyanLun06690093 @villareport If you expect elite athletes to have three weeks off mid-season and then to maintain their match sharpness and be able to play Premier League football again like nothing has happened, I think you’re beyond help.

@VillaHarty @villareport Nah i ain't got a clue about either pal. Go on then, enlighten me with your PhD in sports science?

@lebronCFC @villareport Because we don’t have a game for three weeks 🤷🏻‍♂️

@villareport Why the hell is Villa playing a friendly in march

@Rob831769479312 @villareport So you expect the players to do no exercise in three weeks and then come back match fit and ready? Good one

@villareport What a pointless friendly!!

@OsamaNajib25 @villareport Can’t get match fit in training. But you can get injured in training, so your logic is floored

@villareport Why are we playing a game anyway

@llCoNMaNll @villareport Tell me you don’t know anything about elite athletes stay fit and sharp without telling me you don’t know anything about elite athletes stay fit and sharp …

@villareport Starting XI players in a pathetic friendly is insane 🤬

@hill_hilly18 @villareport Ever watched a football match Stuart?

@villareport What is the point in this stupid friendly

@RyanLun06690093 @villareport Not sure R understands football, or fitness, or all that much at all …

@villareport I really dont understand why they felt the need for a friendly as we're about to enter a crucial part of the season. Very odd decision yet again.

@JamieCutteridge Was down for five minutes, but looks to be ok. Moving it now and has come back on

@VillaHarty Sake

Two suspected dislocated shoulder’s in a warm weather friendly. Classic! #avfc

@JamieCutteridge Buendia

@VillaHarty Who’s the second one?!?

Please don't share these videos of Nigel Farage revealing how awful he is

Remembering Peter Whittingham today. A brilliant footballer who started his journey at Villa. Never forgotten. 🕊️🟣

@VillaHarty @ojaxx2 Indeed. Making a conscious choice to use a kid’s social media platform does say something about you.

The manosphere guy is getting slaughtered over on Instagram He’s properly rattled 😂

@brianofipswich @ojaxx2 hep

@brianofipswich @ojaxx2 The fact that you clearly don’t understand social media, says something about you. Making a conscious choice to use a kid’s social media handle says quite a lot about you. It’s almost as it you are a troll, or completely stupid, or most likely both!

@brianofipswich @ojaxx2 Says the person judging people by what social media platforms they use. 🙄 🤡

@brianofipswich @ojaxx2 Hard drive check for anyone that looks like you mate xx
