Five years today since my nephew, Gary, was brutally murdered. Knife crime isn't a "gang" problem, a "migrant" problem, a "terrorist" problem - it's a social problem. We've got to do more to promote the value of life and the importance of compassion. Sleep tight, Gaz x

I asked Claude AI to research me online and come up with an idea for a tattoo. It suggested something that combined the Villa lion with the motion-inspired graphic that was on the 2006 Italy kit. I liked the idea so asked AI to mock something up for me. Ladies and gentlemen...

PS, I'm back. I'm still on Twitter but it's gone all racist and depressing again.

People often ask me what the fit is like on @foundersdesign.bsky.social products. It's all cut to look good on you and to fit your usual size. Some have said I look slimmer in my Floodlights tee. You decide! foundersdesign.co.uk

Plenty will scroll and move on (absolutely fine) but I definitely feel like I can easier process an #AVFC result after talking about it. So, good to chat with @robwarner.bsky.social for a bit to air some grievances about this current Villa side. youtube.com/live/6rJU39G...

Late night @claretbluepod.bsky.social with @johntownley.bsky.social done! ✅ Will be edited in the morning and available in all the usual places, some great questions sent in to the mailbag and real good fun to record. #AVFC

Looks great doesn't it? 😍

Tomorrow at 7.50am I'll be live on BBC Breakfast talking about football kits. Tune in to hear my Brummie accent and see the effects of my dramatic weight loss regime.

Very excited to join forces with Dan Bardell, @robwarner.bsky.social & @villaontouryt.bsky.social on a brand new venture. Coming soon (ish) P.S. It’s not podcast related in any way

Do you know what would really annoy all the right people? If Gary Lineker were to win TV Presenter of the Year at the National Television Awards... Vote link below! 🙂

Anyone else finding the picture on Sky Sports really dark and dull or is my telly on the wonk?

I don’t know how to quite describe this but if you enjoy @claretbluepod.bsky.social anyway, I think you’ll love last nights episode. An all-timer. #AVFC 👉🏻 www.youtube.com/live/WyGNeCM... 👈🏻

My view for most of today. Time to get The Kit Breakdown show back on the road 🙌

Using the train up to finally finish the latest @mundialmag.bsky.social. Great interview with @robwarner.bsky.social about the Cameroon banned kits

Kaine Kesler-Hayden has won Preston North End's Players' Player of the Year, Fans' Player of the Year, and Young Player of the Year awards after an excellent loan spell from Aston Villa. #AVFC

If someone wants to give me a job so I can make the lack of matchday programme in my life a permanent arrangement, you know where I am.

In a different universe, Sean William Scott would have got all the roles Chris Pratt gets and we’d be happier for it

Get this into your eyes and ear'oles! #avfc

It's like two teams in a game of paintball, but PSG are all ex-SAS and Villa are in hi-viz jackets.

On the bright side, if PSG score another worldie, Rio Ferdinand might explode and the whole English football-watching public can breathe a huge sigh of relief.

From the CWS ARCHIVE. September 2023.

Tonight was almost Italian - the way we sat and negated all of Brighton's huff and puff, then looked to punish them. It was quite similar to the Preston game - let the opponent wear themselves out - then decapitate them. Not sure if we have all the personnel we need for it, but it's the right step.

Received this from @tinyjerseys.bsky.social and look how amazing it is! An absolutely incredible piece of art 🫶

Hi #avfc fans of BlueSky I’ve set up an auto bot which pulls Aston Villa Official posts from other networks onto here so you don’t have to use those apps. You can follow it here, hopefully it continues to work especially for match day updates 🤞 👇👇👇👇👇 @avfcunofficial.bsky.social

Proud to have played a small part in this incredible investigative report into fake shirts by @adamleventhal.bsky.social and @theathleticfc.bsky.social This topic, like the 1995 Man Utd shirt, has many shades of grey... pod.fo/e/2b64e5

Apologies for the lack of podcast over the last two weeks. We’ll be back in the coming days 👍 Massive win for the Villa today! #avfc 🟣🔵

Go on then. Recommend me a funny movie to watch tonight.

Two absolutely monumental performances in a row from Tyrone Mings. I feared the worst when he went off injured a few weeks ago but, wow. Titan.

If the whole of the ball has to cross the line, the whole of the player should have to be offside. Dogshit rule made even worse by a Portakabin full of nerds with an Etch-A-Sketch.

This should make us all see what a bunch of c***s reform uk are. Patriots? NOPE Fake patriots? YEP

Protestors skiing with signs to humiliate JD Vance is fantastic

Something a bit different here tonight, not only predicting how Villa will get on in the #UCL knockout stage, but also predicting every single remaining fixture. youtu.be/Md4_B3WDX5E

Still plenty of time to catch our latest podcast ahead of kick off tonight. Where #AVFC are and the season remaining, Ollie Watkins' big chances & how we can hurt Liverpool. pod.fo/e/2ae19b

St Kitts & Nevis U17s rocking the new 3rd kit.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Schlapp Dat

You could interview everyone in the queue for Britain's Got Talent and not find someone as desperate to be famous as this schmuck.

We’re so desperate for CBs that they’re raising Kortney Hause from the dead. #AVFC

Need movie tips. Netflix, Sky, Prime, whatever. Something good but not arty or cerebral. It's not been the week for that...

If I ever win the lottery, this will be me, but BBQ Beef Hula Hoops.

The team at @wired.com are on the pulse of Elon and his tech bros infiltrating our democracy.

Big day for child predators.
