@conormul Yep. As the games tick down the gap reduces and the pressure mounts. Get the job done.
English
I promise you that it’s in Villa’s best interests to do everything to win on Sunday and potentially secure UCL football for next season. #avfc
B.@InvertTheWing
It is in Villa’s best interest to lose, and Tottenham to win on Sunday. Tottenham winning will obviously help them in the drop zone. More importantly for Villa, it would mean that Forest are only 2 points from the drop on Monday, with an important Europa game on Thursday. Surviving the drop is more important than winning Europa. They wouldn’t have leeway to rest. Whilst Villa do.
English
@danbardell A stupid digne error away from a solid European away result. Big week ahead. 1st thing 1st is get a result against spurs. Can’t go into Thursday 3 defeats on the bounce plus pushes spurs towards relegation
English
Disappointment of course, however it’s only half time and 1-0 isn’t an awful score to take back to Villa Park.
All those screaming “bottlers” etc, if #AVFC get knocked out next week, then go nuts but it definitely isn’t over right now.
Wasnt loads in the game, one moment has separated it.
English
@StanCollymore Villa are a team just of moments these days. Just need to hope we take them next Thursday but worry is I fancy forest to bag a goal. Could be a long day next Thursday
English
Until the penalty, Emery would have been pretty content. #AVFC regularly progressing the ball into attack & full-backs in high areas. Forest creating little, aside from crosses and set plays (where the penalty comes from). Emery gesturing for calm -Villa don't need to change much
English
@J_Tanswell Wasn’t the knee that appeared to be the injury pre game. Man is made of glass & just have to hope it’s a slight hamstring strain
English
Villa got 54 minutes out of Onana, but may have hurt himself more in the process. He and #AVFC wanted him fit for this game and to push through the pain barrier. Was really good in the first half - important Bogarde attunes straight away, but it's a tough match to come into
English
@J_Tanswell I think you’re underselling that tackle. Stone wall red in the premier league
English
McGinn not happy with Anderson's challenge on Watkins. Buendia half-heartedly asking for VAR to take a look. Really robust midfield battle with tackles flying in. Rogers has isolated Morato three times in dangerous positions, probably #AVFC's best threat
English
@danbardell Would have the Great Dane between the sticks. Courtois not a better keeper generally & if looking for a ball playing keeper would go with alisson as a potential shout
English
Been thinking recently about the different eras of the Premier League.
I’m not saying this is the BEST EVER XI…
I’m saying it’s the most complete — a team that could play in ANY PL era.
Courtois
Walker
Ferdinand
Terry
Cole
Keane
Modric
Bale
Gerrard
Ronaldo
Henry
Thoughts?
English
@KevHughesie Going to be two tough legs with nothing between the teams. All I’m looking for is that the team turns up. After that, if we’re beaten by a better team then won’t have any complaints
English
@KevHughesie @danbardell @ClaretBluePod I like luiz but if 20-25m is the fee then defo alternatives available for that kind of money. Like both Bogarde & Barkley but both squad players. Our issue is our 2 main cm’s love an injury. Accept it from kamara cuz he so good. If got decent offer for onana would look to move on
English
@conormul @danbardell @ClaretBluePod Genuinely undecided about whether I would sign him permanently or not. He hasn’t been great, we haven’t been great. Seen Barkley and Bogarde both absolutely hammered on here in recent weeks too. As always, an interesting summer transfer window ahead!
English
😖 @danbardell isn't having Douglas Luiz on his return to #AVFC...

English
@KevHughesie @danbardell @ClaretBluePod Luiz hasn’t been great & I wouldn’t sign him. However I think the criticism was harsh, especially linking our poor form with him in the team. Personally think the team is just generally poor creatively without tielemans. Massive drop off without anyone else coming in
English
@conormul @danbardell @ClaretBluePod Heh-heh. I think it will be an interesting decision come the summer, balanced with Barkley’s contract situation, Kamara’s ongoing absence and potential alternative signings - given that Onana has provided a timely reminder of why CM depth is so important.
English
@danbardell @KevHughesie @ClaretBluePod @danbardell coming back to his original position on luiz all these years on, so he can be proven right 😉
English
@KevHughesie @ClaretBluePod Maybe a bit harsh, but I dont think its worked, nor could we justify the signing
English
@danbardell If any of the big main stay players from over the year moving on, more likely Martinez & Mings moving on
English
No we aren’t.

Transfer News Live@DeadlineDayLive
🚨 Aston Villa are READY to sanction John McGinn’s exit for around £20M in a bid to strengthen their financial position. 💰 The move is aimed at helping the club RESIST potential nine-figure offers for Morgan Rogers, who is attracting huge interest. 👀 (Source: Football Insider)
English
@danbardell Thursday big but today result means can’t rest players against spurs next week. Have two winnable games in league to get champions league locked in
English
Second half, rubbish.
As soon as we made the 4 subs you knew our race was run. Leon Bailey coming on to save a Premier League away game in 2026 isn’t it.
Our away record is a concern going into Thursday.
#AVFC
English
@KevHughesie Would much prefer a trade to psg. Money and definitely a few fringe psg players who could improve the group
English
Be interesting to see who Rogers would replace at PSG. Doue? Barcola? Kvaratskhelia? Maybe Zaire-Emery?
Ben Jacobs@JacobsBen
🚨 Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and PSG are the most genuine suitors for Morgan Rogers. Liverpool and Bayern not as active as of now. Understand Rogers is just as open to a move abroad as staying in England and has admiration for Luis Enrique. talksport.com/football/42096…
English
@NUFCTalkRadio Sounds identical to the villa settlement agreement
English
🚨According to financial football experts City AM -
Newcastle United are close to agreement with UEFA over financial rule breach likely to total £9.5m.
This could also include the club must generate more from sales than they spend in upcoming windows.
A final ruling on the potential breach is expected by the end of the season, leaving the club’s summer recruitment plans hanging in the balance.
The fine of £9.5m, has the potential to rise to £27m if terms of the settlement agreement are breached in the future. #NUFC
Looks like overspending and bad signings are going to cost us unfortunately....
English
@danbardell @J_Tanswell Cheers. Just caught the last 5 minutes & see was touched on. Not the update we need especially with the lead in on shirt sales but guess just means a later release on the new merchandise
English
Got @J_Tanswell in to talk about all the big #AVFC topics, this week.
Harry Wilson and loads more.

@KevHughesie I thought it was rather good…….. for a villa perspective 😉
English
What a completely pointless exercise that’s been. Appoint a young coach before he’s ready for such a high profile role and then sack him a few months into a lengthy contract.
