This is the best outcome for both clubs, who have ended up being largely forgotten in political circles. It is quite astonishing and amusing at the same time that Maccabi end up embarrassing the government even further.

Old Henry set a lot of precedents.

Opta Stan. Maccabi Tel Aviv have had 2 match postponements in the last 266 days for public disorder. Aston Villa haven't had 1 in 50,080 days (since 8th September 1888, Football League Matchday 1, the birth of global league football). Home or away. Gaslit.

I'm here for McGinn to diss his shit coat again.

Maccabi Tel Aviv’s derby against Hapoel cancelled tonight in Israel’s league after riots in & around the stadium, leading to injuries. Yeah, maybe the safety committee and West Midlands Police got it right?

Israeli Police announce they have canceled a derby match between Hapoel Tel Aviv and Maccabi Tel Aviv that was set to take place tonight in the city’s Bloomfield Stadium, when fans began to riot. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Matty Cash. MOTM. Against Tottenham.

Full credit to Buendia. He has looked incredibly sharp in our last 3 or 4 games now. My biggest question mark over him has always been whether he can be consistent. I'm hoping he keeps his current form going.

Unai is to Frank what Glasner is to Unai.

Thomas Frank has still never won a Premier League game against Unai Emery. It’s the most times he’s faced an opposing manager in the competition without ever winning. (Squawka)

Great result. Thought we were solid second half. Spurs had a couple of decent chances, but we were largely solid defensively. Substitutions worked amazingly well. Hopefully this boosts our renewed confidence further.

Not a terrible performance after a poor start. Onana's passing cost us, ultimately, and has been poor most the half. Hopefully that goal for Morgan kicks him on now. Great strike. Need to improve our passing second half.

Strange that he is equating Israel football hooligans with Jews. Isn't there a word for that?

Fuck Ed Miliband, who i used to respect, and fuck Labour. How dare they scapegoat our club like this. Disgusting.

Tough game today. Difficult to know which way this one goes. Villa looking for a 5th win in a row, and Spurs have been a bit inconsistent at home, but we all know they are capable of beating us if we don't put the hard yards in.

Sky News is platforming a guy who says he's from a Jewish Aston Villa supporters group, but it turns out that the guy a) isn't Jewish, b) the group doesn't exist, and c) he works for the right wing Henry Jackson Society, whose website says he 'specialises in disinformation'. Well, quite.

No hesitation sacking Ange there. That was Sawiris vs Gerrard like.

Forest's head of HR on the right here

I still have no idea what Number 10 was thinking intervening over policing. If they ‘win’ the standoff, Keir Starmer personally owns any incident that happens around the match. And he’s broken the precedent of interfering in operational matters, and so will be asked to do so relentlessly.

This.

Argentina national team is all he cares about now. If he gets "rested" I might laugh. I will laugh.

Ah yes, that good natured "fun" of the football terrace of the 80's. A very safe place for a child aged between 0 and 8. (Jenrick was born in 1982)

As yes British football in the 1980s. Well known for its good-natured fun. He's a ridiculous person.

Proof that this is all posturing from the government. They knew a week ago, but choose now to speak up.

The UK Football Policing Unit have issued a pretty damning statement about the Starmer government’s sudden efforts to insert itself into policing football matches

The UK Football Policing Unit informed the Home Office *last week* about the safety risks of Maccabi fans attending Villa Park and the potential for a ban. Whatever the rights & wrongs of the decision, it makes the Government's sudden reaction after yesterday's announcement look even more amateur.

The club rightly considering their staff, because the government are doing the opposite.

So when it all kicks off massively around B6, will the Government approach UEFA to prevent any negative repercussions on Aston Villa?

Decades after the Heysel and Hillsborough disasters, can politicians please not second-guess expert safety assessments for football stadiums. Thank you. An Aston Villa fan.

An attempt to be funny, but it's the most obvious and boring take on Birmingham. We are used to it and immune to it.

I know Zack has spoken with Benjamin Zephaniah's wife and I am so moved to see his work used in this way. He would approve, and he would absolutely have a lot to say to Jenerick and his cronies.

British.

So, started watching the next installment of Monsters, the Ed Gein story. Why on earth has Charlie Hunnam made him sound like Winnie the Pooh? 🫤

The fucking state of this. Sick of it.

The moment that always springs to mind is this from Godfather 2. The heartbreak and total fear she shows without saying a word. Just perfect. What a loss.

Really sad. What a unique and beautiful spirit she was. people.com/diane-keaton...

Some rare good news.

Superb homemade steak and stilon pie. 🤌😍

Friday off work. 🖤

Lets make different political choices says Zack Polanski. Like taxing billionaires instead of blaming poor people. #bbcqt

If he is used at RB for England, I wonder whether he will be so adamant he won't play there for Villa.

Tonight might be the night the heating goes on. 😬

The people spoke. I listened. Ninja Foodi Duel ordered - £100 off in the Prime sale. 🙌🏻
