Frustrating is the word, ultimately. Brentford were pinned back for basically the whole 2nd half. Defended deep and compact. #avfc created a lot of chances and basically did everything they can but score. And not scoring was just frustrating, especially when so many chances were created.

Refusing to let myself give up. #AVFC Will find a way. They always do, right?

If Kelleher had tipped it around the post for an #avfc corner, would it have been pulled back? 🤔

I've absolutely no doubt the ball went out. Can accept that, no problem.

But that's what the linesman is for. Using VAR after such an amount of time and various passages of play to rule a goal out is ridiculous. #avfc

Pretty sure it said #avfc v Brentford is on the premier league channel and man U is on the main event channel 🤔

Seems like you could say the game v Brentford is a must win following today's results... @claretbluepod.bsky.social

That's some incredible west ham head loss.

Today really hasn't gone to plan, especially for last day of AL.

Supposed to be a 5k this morning then a day of games whilst Kayleigh is at a spa day (top birthday present).

Instead ankle went after 2.5km. Limped home. Kayleigh rang Bannatynes to rearrange due to a medical incident.

#AVFC 0-2 down, you say?

Up the Euro Villa Youth!

Please no.
Watkins is moving gingerly, but is trying to run the issue off.

#AVFC can't take any risks tonight, especially with him

Well. This is certainly going to be interesting. #AVFC

I don't normally take much notice of new player interviews. But Tammy and Dougie are saying such great things 😍 #avfc

Seemed to slowly be finally gaining some momentum in recent weeks. So frustrating.

Bogardes flexibility is a bonus but he's going to be so stretched filling where's needed #AVFC
Andres Garcia is expected to be sidelined for three weeks with a hamstring injury.

This is, in an extremely bad way, just incredible.
New: Youri Tielemans faces an extended period on the sidelines following an ankle injury. Will undergo further scans today to determine the precise extent but initial timeframe expects recovery to be after John McGinn. Story @theathleticfc.bsky.social #AVFC

Ole ole
#AVFC seriously exploring a move to sign Douglas Luiz. Club were considering midfield loan options before Youri Tielemans' injury, with Douglas Luiz discussed among intermedaries. Yet Villa's talks for 27yo have stepped up in recent days. @theathleticfc.bsky.social

Every time I watch Villa, which is fairly often ‘cos of Matt, the commentary and studio teams always seem fuming that they’re winning.

Two more followers to get to 400. Can I make that by the end of this year's Daytona 24 Hours? By the time we go green again?

Help me out, #IMSA bsky!

Great #dayton24 updates from Phil!
The pit lane service road is still, unsurprisingly, quite busy. Team members milling around, carrying car parts, etc.

Although there are quite a few people sleeping. Guess there's not an awful lot to do...

I may head back to the media centre for a nap.
