@Lip1875@henrywinter Bought it!!! Lowest net spend, lowest actual spend in the premier league, played 55 games won 13 of 15 in the EL and qualified for the champions league.
Maybe a bit of credit is due.
@henrywinter No, all it highlighted is what a joke the europa league has become. Freiburg would struggle to get promoted from the championship and they’re in a European final. Villa deserve no credit at all, they bought the trophy
Last night highlighted what a huge club Aston Villa are. They know that, of course. But it was a reminder to those tuning in from around the world the size of the club, the passionate fanbase, the quality of coach and players, and all by joyous royal approval, too. #AVFC
@J_Tanswell Season not yet over, thousands of fans travelling back, a work day and there’s a bank holiday Monday with good weather coming up.
How many holes do Villa’s PR team have in their feet?
Brilliant from Villa, absolutely brilliant. So well-worked. So well-finished. Great team goal as Villa created space, Rogers delivered inch-perfect cross into the space, and Tielemans met the ball with a fabulous volley. Loves a big goal on the big occasion. #FREAVL#UEL
@RyanTlksFooty If WHU had turned up in the previous 35 opportunities they would not be relying on other teams to rescue them.
Villa were terrible v Spurs, but clearly playing for their own priorities not those of another club.
⚒️ I cant be the only West ham fan pissed off Watching this Aston Villa vs Forest game, Aston Villa did not show up one bit vs Tottenham practically jogging round the pitch and yes i know you've got a semi final soon but that's no excuse, Forest b team whipped Chelsea. #Avfc#WHUFC
They have gone and Destroyed a very inform Forest team where was that against Spurs, then they say Mcginn was injured but is perfectly fine for this game 😂 Give over.
Unbelievable run from Emi Buendía, pure sorcery, dazzling feet to deceive Elliot Anderson and Jair Cunha, in total control, pause, then pass to Ollie Watkins. Aston Villa deservedly lead. #AVLNFO
@DV1874 Did var show conclusive image that the ball was in or out? Ref’s decision should stand.
Did var show a clear image of a reckless challenge? Red card.
2 wrongs don’t make a right.
We need to win to go to the final. At Villa Park will be our time. Match of our lives. This is not over. And one important question If VAR came to help football and bring justice…. If VAR called the referee for the penalty why they didn’t check at least the red card for Anderson?. Huge mistake of VAR referee tonight, it did not help the field ref. I am sure UEFA refereeing people would be agree with us in this unfair situation. Now, time for Villa Park. Let’s do this.
UTV!!!
#AVFC's settlement agreement last year means they are instead limited to a €5m football-earnings loss in the current season — a target that on its own looks difficult, given no Champions League revenues to rely on & still bearing high operating costs.

@kenton1206 Well done! It’s like ticket prices, if you moan about it then pay you are the problem. Nothing will change unless more people vote with their wallets.
Cancelled SKY today. Latest increase was to £108.50 just for a TV package. Sky News is unwatchable, football is akin to loose women, dramas are infested with woke virtue signalling. About 90% of channels are just fillers. They offered a reduction to £87.50. Gone after 25+ years.
@danbardell@The1874Podcast What was the real problem with Harvey Elliott?
Unai is famed for getting the best out of players, he just had a successful Euros and is a neat clever player, seemingly Unai’s fit. What went wrong?
Mateu Alemany warned Unai Emery that financial rules would hold #AVFC back when he turned down the chance to join in 2023.
A piece on how Emery has fought more powerful rivals, and on his future with @GuillemBalague, including @KieranMaguire's expertise.
