Yet another great game for Pau Torres. Such a tremendous ball-playing centre back.
Think he’s player of the season for Villa so far (Cash top, too).
Ever since he came on against Fulham, Villa have been totally transformed & gone on a winning run. He’s so important. #avfc 🟣🔵

Awesome to meet the much loved former Aston Villa physio Jim Walker at the Aston Social last night!
Got hold of his new book 'Walker's Way' where he talks about his time at Villa and experiences as a player under Brian Clough. Can't wait to read it! #avfc #utv #astonvilla 🟣🔵

Is this now the third group of European fans we’ll have to ban from the stadium?! 😂
Put the Young Boys fans to bed. Way past their bed time. Acting like idiots. #avfc

This is just absolutely appalling writing. I know young bloggers starting out writing about football who are light years better than this ridiculous, wannabe rubbish.
Feels like she’s been convinced she’s a genius & is trying to write like some kind of brilliant 1950s talent. Embarrassing.

On comms: saw this video from Mexico's Sheinbaum confidently communicating what her govt is doing.
Would it hurt Labour or the U.S. Dems to do something like this every now & then? To be more assertive? How many Americans never knew about Biden's legislation? Say, the CHIPS Act, or what it did?

Wrote for @thisisanfield.com recently about who the top realistic signing Villa could make this summer would be.
Very, very happy to see Harvey Elliott potentially join the mighty* Villa. #avfc
* 'mighty' except when playing Crystal Palace

Easy to overlook how tricky a lot of these fixtures will be without a particularly deep squad.
Big chance for some of the youngsters like Hemmings & Jimoh-Aloba to step up. Think we’re due a true breakout youth player, though Bogarde has done well in fairness. #avfc 🟣🔵

Amorim is obviously struggling badly.
But, regardless, how many times have we heard over the last ten years the ‘Manchester United dressing room is questioning xxx.’
A relentlessly toxic environment. Fish rots from the head down & this comes from the abysmal leadership of the Glazers. #mufc

Newcastle fifth with ten extra UCL games & a highly physical style is ambitious.
Spurs in sixth with all those extra games, too? Maybe they can, but Frank has no experience of it. They’re a bit of an unknown in some ways.

Currently reading Waking The Giant by @greggevans40.bsky.social & Matt Maher. Can't put it down. Gripping.
Feels like a must-read for Aston Villa fans, and even for non-Villa supporters.
So many fascinating new details. Still shocking to read how close Villa came to the brink. #avfc #astonvilla

Think that was probably the first big football tournament involving European sides I haven't watched any of since about 1992.
Here's what I wrote for All Villa No Filler about the Club World Cup & why I think it's probably another LIV Golf.
