Anyone know if it’ll be possible to buy away tickets on the door for Villa women at Spurs tomorrow night? Can’t see them on the website any more

A fun announcement! I've joined @espn.com!
To mark it, here's a big feature on players increasingly utilising data in their contract negotiations, with the help of consultancies like @analyticsfc.bsky.social
I spoke to a lot of people in the game in order to bring this one together 🙏

How players are using data to show their worth in contract negotiations
Kevin De Bruyne, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ben White are among the top players using a data company to give them an edge in contract negotiations. But how does it work?

The Europa League trophy thinking about Unai Emery coming back next season…
So many of us said a good season would be Europe again with a good UCL run. Knew balance would be tough. When you think about the injuries we’ve had, the fact that’s all but locked in - with the possibility of better - with 4 games to go, we’re doing grand. You can be disappointed and keep your head

Yesterday was Villa’s 7th game in 3 weeks. We’ve got a good squad and should’ve played better but fair to say we looked cooked. And understandably so.

Well that was rubbish. You can agree with Unai that the club is well ahead of schedule while also acknowledging that today was a disaster. Certain we’ll have more occasions like today as long as he’s manager. And we won’t play that badly in one again. 2 SFs in 2 seasons. Here comes the comeback.

Just went for a big run to burn off some of the energy from last night. Every time my brain goes towards disappointment, I just get this incredible physical memory of how it felt to be in the ground last night. Never felt anything quite like it. Genuinely think I’ll remember it forever. Up the Villa

Competing against an incredible team who were allowed to build under conditions that are impossible now. Sensational stuff from Villa. A night for the soul. We are back. Up the Villa.

So I’m an idiot. Not only had I attended an FA Cup game, I’ve spent a lot of time wearing the special shirt I bought to mark the occasion. Role on Wembley!
Season ticket holder who has been to each Champions League game. Had a ticket to each FA Cup game but gave it to someone else. Appreciate giving people the chance to go to games but ludicrous that I might not get a Wembley ticket.

Last night felt like watching a football team in a tumble dryer. In that context, Villa acquitted themselves well and PSG scored from their only ‘chance’ in the 92nd minute. They’re a level above and they should be with all of their advantages. Tie is still alive, next Tuesday will be unreal. UTV!

A bit of a moan here. There are so many people leaving Villa games early now. I get it with night games, especially with kids and different jobs. It just seems really odd and sucks the atmosphere out of the stadium. Also distracting too. Game yesterday was so tight. Why wouldn’t you stick around?

Our home form under Emery is something else. Bar a couple of small wobbles of 2-3 games, we just don’t lose at Villa Park any more. Haven’t seen the like in my time as a Villa fan. These are special times.

I thought Asensio showed what he can bring to the starting XI in the first half, then showed why he can’t start some games in the second. One of the best footballers we’ve ever had at VP. Put a shift in, too.

We were brilliant for half an hour. Fair play to Forest, dragged us into a scrap second half. Rode our luck, lost our composure at times. But got the job done. Kamara noticeably higher up the pitch when he came on. Not sure why and not sure it worked. Two huge wins though, all that matters.

Nobody on earth thought that would be our starting XI. Blimey.

Frustrating season in the PL for us. Inconsistent and that is almost entirely down to injuries. A clean bill of health is fantastic and the impact is clear for all to see. Optimistic today. Like many people have said, I think chasing suits this Villa team. Should be a lot of fun this evening.

So excited to watch the Villa today. So many options. Our squad is genuinely excellent. It’s really hard to pick our starting XI when everyone is fit. Marco Asensio plays for us!!! One game from Wembley. UP THE VILLA!!!

If you really want to speed up football, cut down the ridiculous amount of time spent on attacking set pieces. It’s dumb. So much waiting for people to take shots with a really low chance of actually going in.

Listening to @claretbluepod.bsky.social. I remember JJ making his debut. I think we lost 2-0 at home to West Brom, I remember thinking it was an ok performance and didn’t matter because we had nothing to play. Then we got promoted. Then we got Champions League. Now we’re in the last 8. Incredible.

I get that it was a school night, the tie was over and traffic/trains can be awful but it was a bit sad how many people left early last night. Full time should’ve been a big party. It was still great but I think this squad deserved a big send off from a full stadium. Minor gripe. Still chuffed.
