Very good win that. Horrible place to go and play football, intimidating atmosphere, slow pitch and good home record. Villa did just enough to get it over the line without playing well. Away support was excellent as always! #avfc #utv

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.

Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.

UK set to limit refugees to temporary stays
Shabana Mahmood is expected to say the era of permanent protection for refugees is over, in major changes to the UK's asylum and immigration system.

Emi Buendia fantastic today. Turning into the world class player we all knew he would become - honest. Bring on the Ballon d'Or #avfc

Got exactly what we deserved there. ☹️#avfc

Fair play to the ref there. Not a red card for me. Watkins touch is heavy and going away from the goal. #avfc

Another frustrating performance. Any shoots of optimism quickly stamped out. We still look like we're playing with the handbrake on, too many touches, our press is completely off, any chance to drive at the defence we turn back & it seems to be an absolute no for trying any ball over the top. #avfc

Ball just rolled over the line in-between those metal poles and into some netting. Anyone know what this means? #avfc

2025/26 has been so easy so far BBC reporting that we are starting with 10 men.

Have been saying Konsa and Guehi should be the starting centre back pair for England for at least the last couple of years - longer in Konsa's case. Good to see England managers finally catching up. Surely they have to be the first choice going forward.

Time to retire the black kit. #avfc

I don't like Tielemans in the 10. Need him getting on the ball more to get the team ticking over. Onana and Kamara partnership is not working. Also look woefully short of pace. Malen for Onana at half time, YT into the middle and Rogers central. #avfc

Gutted to see JJ go. There is definitely a top player there, but injuries have always seemed to hit at the wrong time.

Still always rated Cole Ramsey as the best of the Ramsey boys! #avfc

If you look up the phrase "consummate professional" there will just be a picture of Steve Rider. #BTCC just won't be the same without him in the presenter's chair.

Unbelievable fixture list. Playing everyone twice, home and away, must be unprecedented? #avfc
