Possibly the most tranquil and beautiful spot that you will find in a city centre. #blessed #durham @durhamcathedral #ordinandlife

My favourite moment of the cup final was Cherki/White. Got to love a bit of showboating, it's a shame it's gone from the game. And got to love the clattering that traditionally follows a showboat. Took me back to the days when when football was more entertaining.

Am I the only one confused by the outrage from Tottenham fans regarding the Gray/Sangare incident? I don't understand what they are complaining about. As a complete neutral who couldn't care less either way, I don't get it. #avfc

Best half of football from Villa for a while. My only concern is that they haven't got a second. Despite the dominance I can see west ham getting something from this if they don't get a second which would be a shame after playing so well. #avfc

Got to love Villa twitter... Catching up on the game tonight. So from what I understand Sancho has been good and deserved a goal and also terrible. Luiz has been MOTM and should be bought and was also rubbish and sent back to Juve. 🤦‍♂️ #avfc

@naythan_brysn @DanAV___ All fanbases are terrible on here, just depends who comes up in your algorithms.

@DanAV___ Villa fans are up there for worst on this app

yoro booked for a foul on tammy 20 seconds before they score is that not in the same “phase of play” to go back and disallow it ?

The club need to review recruitment. Still using Smith's team essentially. Getting rid of Malen mid-season to bring Bailey back has to be one of the worst recruitment decisions that I've seen. The drop off, even with injuries , has been completely unacceptable #avfc

It's going to be a grim summer as a villa fan. Not getting UCL places, a team needing an overhaul and a club atmosphere which is going to be negative to the extreme. Some of those players are simply not good enough. #avfc

It's hard to do much attacking wise when you are carrying 2 forward players. Buendia, brilliant earlier in the season, has gone back to the form we were used to seeing prior to that spell and Watkins' game has just gone for whatever reason. #avfc

Your Villa side to take on Lille this evening! ✊ #UEL

@jendog17 @TheAthleticFC Barcelona got approval for a 16yo playing in England - so it doesn't seem to be Brexit related.

@jonevans91 @TheAthleticFC I would guess it’s to do with us not being in the eu

Aston Villa remain in the process of completing the registration of forward Brian Madjo. Madjo signed in a deal worth in the region of £10million from French club FC Metz in January, but has not yet featured for any of Villa’s teams, having been technically able, as a 17-year-old, to play for both the club’s youth and reserve sides as well as the senior squad. This is due to FIFA blocking Villa from completing his registration, despite Madjo being born in England, but having joined from an overseas club. From Villa’s standpoint, there is frustration internally that the process to register the striker is taking so long, having wanted to get Madjo up to speed sooner. Madjo was born in London to Cameroonian parents but grew up in Luxembourg, and does not turn 18 until January 2027 — when he would be allowed to complete his registration. Presently, FIFA has turned down Villa’s request to register him early, with Article 19 within their regulation rules prohibiting international transfers of players under 18.

The way things are going, this summer is going to be brutal. #avfc

@JaseEvans16 Yer, I don't get it. We used to see quite a bit of tinkering and adapting. I thought we might see that again with the injuries, but apparently not.

@jonevans91 This is what baffles me. He's supposedly a master tactician yet we're not seeing it any more.

Too little too late from Emery. He deserves as much criticism as the players. I know we have 3 players out and a limited squad, but he either needs to change some of the players or the system (or both) and yet is doing neither despite some embarrassing performances. #avfc

Another game of Onana ghosting , another game of Buendia offering little and losing the ball, another game of Watkins putting in effort but nothing else, another game of weak defending/keeping. Can't blame the injured 3 for that. #avfc

There's only so much you can blame on the 3 injuries. Some of the performances from some of these players over the last few weeks are simply not good enough. #avfc

Can someone explain to me how they can show an image where the toe is behind the red line but also ahead of the white wall? Also, how can the inside of his thigh be highlighted as offside too? Curious about this graphic (even if he is offside by the rules)

@DaleJohnsonBBC @D4Nnyp @HazhirKhalili And yet that was apparently the guidelines being used. As reported by multiple outlets and referenced by many a commentator back in the day. And if there was daylight and it wasn't flagged, then they obviously got it wrong even according to those alleged guidelines.

@jonevans91 @D4Nnyp @HazhirKhalili If a player scored a goal and there was daylight there would absolutely have been many reported as a mistake in match reports. Daylight isn't just a little benefit of doubt advantage. It's a significant difference.

CONFIRMED! Crucial handball updates from the IFAB meeting: Accidental handball that leads to a team-mate scoring a goal or having a goal-scoring opportunity will no longer be considered an offence.

@AVFCStatto It's weird, because of recent form, you look at the bench and think it is probably a.better team on paper than the starting xi.

People are not going to be happy with this lineup. #AVFC

What's the saying again about insanity and expecting different results? Hopefully Emery's insanity comes together and works this evening. #avfc
