Don’t know if it’s old villa fan in me, and this utter unfamiliarity in Villa being such a strong team, but a semi final against Forest makes me feel VERY uneasy. They seem to be a side that has our number somewhat - especially at their place. #avfc #utv

If we have to sell Rogers then I would be off to get Gibbs white as a replacement. Reckon Unai would light him up

I’d need to see what the replacement plan would be, but £120m+ for Rodgers and I’m listening #avfc

@StanCollymore No way should both teams wear their away kits. Shambles

Villans Your considered and slightly unhinged first half thoughts please. 👇🏽

@danielstorey85 @gazalandkay Easy. Any time gabby agbonlahor took to the pitch….

@gazalandkay So when was the last time?

first time in history? LOL

Is there a bigger obsession anywhere than Henry Winter on Trent Alexander Arnold. It doesn’t warrant anymore than a shoulder shrug yet Winter has embarked on a full campaign of tears about it.

@KevHughesie @doc3d I think we will get bids for youri and Morgan but would be surprised they’d be enough to tempt. I’d expect Martinez to go out of anyone after last summer, his season and his salary being higher than most

@doc3d Hmmm. Same with the post that’s just been put out saying Villa are braced for bids for Youri and Morgan, and expect Martinez to leave. Credited to the same journalist but I can’t find where Collomosse has written it… 🤔

Where did he say this. The only recent article I can find Collomosse said this. Villa, meanwhile, are desperate to reach next season’s Champions League as the extra funds available would give the club the financial boost they crave. They are pushing to do so in both the Premier League and the Europa League. Is it just “Total Villa” finding negativity again.

What’s next for mo Salah? Who cares

@jamesaknight In the same year as spurs getting relegated, humour for the ages

Arsenal not winning anything this year would be the funniest thing to happen in association football in a generation

@danielstorey85 Given unparalleled support and clearance by the league

A team that isn't good enough despite the ludicrous spend, playing for a manager who isn't proven enough, working for an ownership that has no clue of how to operate other than spending more and getting no better. Chelsea are a clown car right now

@slbsn They can probably shift some money around the back rooms to make sure they stay ahead

Chelsea need to invest in the squad. And by a goalie. Controversial take I know.

Aston Villa handed ANOTHER golden opportunity to put space between themselves and the chasers. CANNOT afford to pass it up #avfc #utv

Unai. Play that team again on Sunday.... #avfc #utv

@SkySportsNews Hard to think there isnt double standards to their policing. The woolly language used is pathetic. Either we have rules and punishments or not. This self policing from chelsea to avoid sporting penalties is beyond parody

BREAKING: Chelsea have been fined £10.75m by the Premier League and handed a one-year transfer ban suspended for two years 🚨 They have also been given a nine month Academy transfer ban.

One really disappointing thing about the villa form is the inability to shut up shop. We seem to always concede 2 or more quick goals which kills us. We dont seem to be able to raise the level of fight and game management to protect. Infuriating #avfc

We have never been closer to breaking into the elite permanently, whilst also being further away than ever. Our transfer market failures now exposed, and the frailties of our squad on show for all. YET It’s still in our hands. Hope we have enough #avfc #utv

Hate this fixture more than any other. They ALWAYS get the decision, and the luck. We never ever get anything. Please can today be something different? #avfc

@henrywinter See what minimal contact gets man united a penalty tomorrow...mm

“The referee’s call of no penalty to Arsenal was checked and confirmed by VAR – with the contact from Keane on Havertz deemed to be minimal.” PGMO. Minimal? But meaningful. #ARSEVE

Havertz through on goal, about to shoot. Keane treads on Havertz’s foot, clearly brings him down. Pen not given, VAR should have intervened, Havertz rightly bemused. #ARSEVE

Performative nonsense that makes an unpopular debtridden club even more unpopular. Hope they lose
