@mjmarr_star He means tues / weds then Saturday / Sunday. He was testing you 🤩

“If we want to play in the highest level, we must be ready to play matches on Thursday and Sunday." On to the next one. Unai Emery switches focus to Burnley as #avfc look to take their latest chance to nail down a top-five Premier League finish: expressandstar.com/sport/huge-opp…

@avfc_stef Quiet celebrations are the really dangerous ones. Like you need to make up for low vocal output with high paced body origami.

Almost dislocated both shoulders in the lounge silently celebrating that next to baby cub #AVFC

@Inzy213 You can’t imagine that Emi wasn’t disrupting the aura / vibes or whatever nonsense the lads were trying to cook in the huddle. To think he gives a shit about Anderson pretending he is a big man 😄 I wasn’t far away either and forest never looked confident, even post huddle.

Something I will take from last night was Woody insisting on having the pre game huddle in front of us in Villa’s half and making them wait, followed by Ando telling Martinez to fuck off when he tried to object 🤣👏🏻

Aston Villa v Forest. Darren Fletcher: Everywhere you look around the ground is Claret and Blue, apart from the away end. Crazy that, Darren lad.

@MattH1874 @RationalVillan 👏😂

"Idea for a Villa song based loosely on Sunshine on Leith, except it's about John McGinn, Istanbul and Turkey teeth"

@RobinsReds_ @forestmad80 Ok. That tracks with what I see and yeah MGW is just too draw. It’s one thing to have developed the skill. But the intensity and application is something else. V envious you have both and hope one of the entitled six don’t snaffle either.

@VillArchie7_2 @forestmad80 I love him - although I think MGW is our most important player, Anderson is a generational talent. The only dip in form over 2 years came recently which seemed linked to the deteriorating health of his mother who sadly passed away. Other than that blip, he’s been phenomenal.

Unpopular opinion coming up… When everyone is fit, we are actually a better side than last season and better equipped to push on if we can get behind the scenes settled. #NFFC

@RobinsReds_ @forestmad80 I don’t watch him every week like you guys do but I think he is excellent whenever I see him. Over these two legs he was so savvy with so much that he did. Looked like he glued the team together. You don’t rate him that much? Does he come and go with performances in your view?

@forestmad80 Also unpopular opinion, if selling a luxury player like Anderson funds much better squad depth, I’m all for it

@johntownley11 Faultless except for stud choices. It was like an ice rink for some 😂

#AVFC are off to Istanbul to contest their first major European final since 1982 after thrashing Nottingham Forest 4-0. It was a faultless performance from Villa, who didn't half feed off their home backing tonight. Another magical evening at Villa Park.💪birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football…

@Son_Lyme I thought he was excellent. Especially first half. Always in the right space. Always making a good decision and able to execute it. One of those players who makes it look easy. Glued the team together. Evident even in resounding defeat.

Given the prices being mooted for promising midfielders everywhere, it would not displease me in the slightest if Olabe made a cheeky summertime inquiry for a Mr Elliot Anderson. Even in defeat he ran his socks off.

@_stonyd Yep. Emi was on the floor a lot it seemed to me. Then Bailey came on and did the same on the edge of our box.

Did anyone notice how many players slipped during the game last night? Genuinely thought we were going to drop a clanger because of it. Saw Tilly and Buendia slip at least a couple of times. Was it their boots or did they over water the pitch?

@SkySportsNews You may have said the same about Simeone in the early stages of his tenure at Athletico Madrid. People being paid for opinions with v limited vision.

@radutimo @SkySportsNews Stick to trying to get into Europe at all Babs

@SkySportsNews World Class but for Europa League

@TomCollomosse The guy feeling you spoke about pre game … was right again.

Aston Villa’s resurgence, from what looked like a dire position when they were relegated a decade ago and then bought by the … “colourful” Dr Tony Xia, is such a great story. This by @greggevans40 @mjmarr_star is the perfect read for the flight to Istanbul ✈️📖 🇹🇷🏆 #avfc

Prepping Victor Lindelof in midfield, using the crowd's energy, John McGinn "set the standard" and close observers being blown away by the level of dominance - how Aston Villa produced the biggest result of this era. Free to read: @TheAthleticFC #AVFC nytimes.com/athletic/72623…

@SibsMUFC People love to moan about something

Villa - 5th in England, 6th last season Freiburg - 7th in Germany, 5th last season That sounds about right for a Europa League final, not sure what people are complaining about here. It was a good move to stop teams who failed in the CL dropping down.

@WhatTheForkAVFC I didn’t. He was upstaged.

Am i the only one that had no idea Tuchel was there last night? 😂
