Not surprised! He looks great.
Woltemade is the real deal, isn’t he. Swaggering class.

Keep this up & they won’t miss Isak at all.

Looks like Maccabi have saved the UK government from the spectacle of somehow overturning an expert public safety assessment.

Either politicians make public safety at sports stadiums an absolute priority or they do not.

#AVFC
Maccabi Tel Aviv say in a statement that they will "decline any allocation offered on behalf of away fans" for next month's Europa League match against Aston Villa at Villa Park, adding that "the wellbeing and safety of our fans is paramount."

#AVFC
The worst display in the Premier League all season. Insipid, pointless nothingness. That was dross plucked from the Aston Villa dark ages of 2012-16. Stunningly clueless.

Keith Andrews & Brentford! Cool to see him doing well as a Prem coach. #BrentfordFC #whufc
Me poetically describing the Cash/Digne/Buendia goal to anyone who'll listen. #avfc
How am I supposed to concentrate at work when there's so many angles to watch of Matty Cash, Lucas Digne & Emi Buendia somehow turning into Maradona, Pele & Messi in one move?

#avfc #utv
Emi Buendia has looked so sharp here since he came on. Could feel he might do something.

That really was an incredible goal from Cash, Digne & Buendia. Super stuff! #avfc #utv
THAT IS A BALON D’OR GOAL. FECKING HELL!

MIGHTY EMI BUENDIA! UP THE VILLLAAA!! #avfc #utv 🟣🔵
Very even game.

Think this is visibly the most where Villa have missed Youri Tielemans. Feel if he was central now, his ball-playing would help us take control of the game.

Plenty of bench options to go for the win here. UTV.

Decades after the Heysel and Hillsborough disasters, can politicians please not second-guess expert safety assessments for football stadiums.

Thank you.

An Aston Villa fan.
Amazing number of bald heads on show at the Aston Villa store 😂. Just shows how stressful it is supporting the mighty Villa. #avfc #utv
Yet another popular, well-reviewed restaurant on the local high street near me closes.

So many former cafes/restaurants up there which have closed in recent years & a fair few still lie empty.

Aware dining spots don't have the longest shelf-life, but some of these places were open for years.
Watched ‘A Real Pain’. Understated excellence. Funny & moving. Kieran Culkin, Jesse Eisenberg & Will Sharpe outstanding.

The concentration camp visit scene was done amazingly well.

Glad Culkin got a load of awards for it.
😂😂 poor guy never got over me avoiding his line of sight.

#AVFC had wanted Donyell Malen for three windows. Yet incorporating him into a system & position was complex. Malen has a curious profile - "he falls between the cracks," says one figure at another PL club - but Villa are now adjusting him to a new role.

Donyell Malen: The forward that offers a profile like no other — and how Aston Villa use him
Malen has settled in England since his move from Germany and now it seems Villa are find a way to settle him into their side

The Winklemans have arisen. The Traitors must be back. #CelebrityTraitors
It was unbelievable to witness.
It was surreal to watch live in that second season. The Palace game fully made me grasp just how bad the situation was.

I'd say following Villa since '92 the only other manager who wound me up as much as Gerrard was O'Leary.
I went to Palace away where Villa lost 3-1. Could not believe how bad we looked. Midfielders vacating the centre of the pitch & running wide, giving nobody anyone to pass out to.

Douglas Luiz was benched(!?) & only when he came on with ten to go do Villa look vaguely coherent. #avfc
There's a few reasons Gerrard failed at Villa. Primarily, his tactics were abysmal. The first day of the season 2-0 loss at newly-promoted Bournemouth was a shocking moment after a full pre-season. He served up a shapeless debacle.

Then there's 'look me in the eye' & more. #avfc
