Superb performance today. Great result against a tough team. Lots to be happy with. Although Ollie didn’t score his contribution was great. If he can start scoring again we’ll be unstoppable. #UTV #AVFC 🟣🔵⚽️🦁

Cracking stuff from Villa. Fifth win in a row in all competitions. We dug in when it mattered and delivered two excellent goals. What about that pass from Cash and the take from Digne for the second goal 😍 #UTV #AVFC 🟣🔵⚽️

Great result tonight. Strong second half. And what a performance from this guy. #UTV #AVFC

That’ll do. Much, much better from Villa. If we can get Rogers back to form then that will make a huge difference. 3 points. A clean sheet. A home win. Up the Villa. #UTV #AVFC

Lovely solo acoustic show from @billie-marten.bsky.social tonight at @roughtraderecords.bsky.social Nottingham. Her new album ‘Dog Eared’ is a strong contender for album of the year. Stunning.

Really enjoyable live episode of @podsavetheuk.crooked.com to finish ‘Crossed Wires’ Festival. @garyseconomics.bsky.social excellent and spot on - Tax Wealth Not Work! 🎯 Oliver Coppard representing South Yorkshire well @mrnishkumar.bsky.social and @cocobyname.bsky.social very funny hosts. 👌🏼

Absolutely unforgettable #RHLSTP tonight with the legendary Bernie Clifton as part of the Sheffield ‘Crossed Wires’ Festival.
What a force of nature Bernie is. @richardherring.bsky.social hasn’t had less to do since he ‘interviewed’ Brian Blessed. Magical evening.

Final home game of the season. Another win. Another clean sheet. Met Villa legend Tony Morley. And the players and staff came out to thank the fans. #UTV #AVFC

A day of ‘Falls’ in beautiful Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 First up the Falls of Dochart in Killin then Acharn Falls near Taymouth and finally The Birks of Aberfeldy. Finished at Dewars Distillery with a 21 year old Scotch which was delicious. #VisitScotland #Scotland @dewars.bsky.social

Never had a view on this particular debate before. But having tried Marmite for the first time I’m afraid it’s a ‘hate it’ from me.

Lovely first day in Bonnie Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Stopped off at Loch Katrine on the way to Killin. Took a trip up and down the Loch on the Steamship Sir Walter Scott 🚢 which was a lot of fun. Beautiful scenery as always.

I’ve got two tickets for tomorrow night to see comedian Andrew Bird in Sheffield but sadly I can no longer go. Happy to give free to a good home if someone wants to go along. Give me a shout if you want them.

Superb gig last night in The Shacklewell Arms in East London in a fab performance space. Kipp Boucher was the absolute standout for me. Lovely tunes.

Superb gig last night at the Hallamshire Hotel in Sheffield. Juanita Stein (from Howling Bells) did a lovely set. Did a fair few from her new album The Weightless Hour which is wonderful. open.spotify.com/album/7kDBmm...

Professional performance from Villa tonight against a well organised Cardiff side. Asensio is on fire 🔥 Bogarde did a great fill-in job again. Clean sheet. On to the quarter finals 💜💙 #UTV #AVFC #FACup
