We said goodbye to our grandfather today. He was an absolute titan.

First page of my ticket scrapbook. First Villa game and first concert. Pretty strong. #avfc #philcollins

I know it doesn’t really matter but Christ alive #avfc that was bad.

Losing it so often in midfield and leaving the defence exposed.

Salzburg have done their homework, executed the plan very well and given it everything. Only hope they run out of puff.

Watched the Villa this afternoon with a Newcastle fan. Uni mate. She’s only in the country because her father is sadly on his way out.

As delighted as I am with the win, those couple of hours with a good mate reminded me that there are things much more important than football.

When it’s deadlocked at the round table, they should played snooker to decide it. Nobody ever uses that sodding table and it annoys me #traitors

Incredible night of football. I watched the 0-0. 😎

Co-commentator said that tonight’s match “has a cup final feel”.

Except that it’s half empty and everyone who is there is sad.

Staying up to watch this lost cause because I’m pissed and there are cheesestrings. #ashes

I have just taken my family on the Severn Valley Railway and Aston Villa are in the title race.

What cricket?

Trump has won the FIFA peace prize. Absolutely out of nowhere. What an underdog. What a story.
