Rupert Lowe is a mahoosive thunderc*nt!. Just needed to get that off my chest.

ANOTHER ONE!!!.😀 Serious squeaky bum time!!. Tale of 2 halves. Shite first half, loads better second half. Malen is earning a start over Watkins. So happy for Rogers after struggling so much at the start of the season. Emi made up for his error with that late save. HUGE 3 POINTS 🦁 We're 4TH!! 😀 UTV

Gutted to see Mani from The Stone Roses has died 😔 I saw them at Warrington & Spike Island when I was 17. The Stone Roses debut album is one of my favourite albums of all time, still sounds amazing today. Thanks for the tunes & the memories. RIP

Miraculous recovery from England. I thought we were toast after getting skittled out for 172. To get them down to 123-9 at the close of play is unreal. Archer & Atkinson top-class. Two key wickets for Crause, then Ben Stokes takes 5-23 in just 6 overs!!. Legend! 🏏

Well chuffed for Ginny!! 🦁 They may not like us very much but the more home nations at the World Cup the better!!

Villa currently in 6TH!!! 🦁

What a win!!. Great first half. Buendia was 👌!! But the penalty save was the turning point as they were causing problems. Two world-class saves by Emi Martinez today !!!.👐 In the words of Lucas Digne..'ANOTHER ONE"!! UP THE VILLA!! 🦁

Have to say i'm pleased Watkins hasn't been included in the England squad. If he wants to go to the World Cup next summer he's going to have to get his head down, give 💯% & score goals for Villa 🦁

Did a job but we must be so much better v Bournemouth. I'd play our best X1 & drop Guessand from the squad!. He's woeful 😒 Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne, Kamara, Tielemans, McGinn, Rogers, Buendia, Watkins Subs-Malen, Sancho, Elliott, Onana, Barkley, Maatsen, Lindelof, Bogarde, Bizot 🦁 UTV

TFFT!!. We really needed that goal after they missed a sitter. Far too slow & ponderous though

It's hard to see Harvey Elliott even coming on as a sub tonight with all the other options 😕 Guessand doesn't deserve to start tonight. Elliott's a better player plus he has more European experience. I'm not gonna lie, it is starting to annoy me now! 😒

My X1 v Maccabi Tel Aviv (4-2-3-1) M.Bizot, M.Cash, E.Konsa, P.Torres, I.Maatsen, B.Kamara, J.McGinn, H.Elliott, M.Rogers, J.Sancho, D.Malen Subs-O.Watkins, E.Guessand, B.Burrowes, E.Buendia*, A.Onana, J.Jimoh-Aloba, L.Bogarde, L.Digne, V.Lindelof, Y.Mosquera, S.Proctor, E.Martinez 🦁 UTV *fit??

A howler from Emi, a deflection and unfortunately carrying 2 passengers (Guessand & Watkins). That cost us. Not that much between the teams. Move on to Thursday 🦁 UTV

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!! 🦁 HUGE WIN!!! What a response after Thursday!!! GET IN!!! 🦁 UP THE VILLA!!!!

Don't forget......

Is Harvey Elliott taking time to bed in or is Unai trying to stop the obligation to buy him by not playing the requisite amount of games?. Guessand looks like a poor man's Bertrand Traore. Onana looks nowhere near a £50m player & Watkins's attitude stinks. I'd rather buy Elliott & sell the other 3!

Embarrassing!!. Piss poor finishing in the first half. Subs needed to be made earlier. Penalty miss, woeful. Threw that game away. Attitude of Watkins is starting to make my blood boil !! 🦁

If it's true that Roberto Olable is looking to bring Real Sociedad's 24-year-old Japanese right-winger Takefusa Kubo to Villa Park in January, that would be a really exciting addition to the squad! 🦁 UTV

Maccabi Tel Aviv's statement is 🐴💩!. Trying to look like they're being mistreated. The reality is they know they can't trust their Ultras to behave, which was proved AGAIN yesterday!!! 🦁

MASSIVE VICTORY!!! 😃🦁 UTV!!!!

Phew!!..Made hard work of that against dirty Burnley, but 4 wins in a row!! 👍 Good week to be a Villan!! 🦁 UTV

Phenomenal result against a decent side. Love playing in Rotterdam!! 💜💙 🦁 UP THE VILLA!!!!

Before Thursday I said we had to win both games, we've managed it. Today got better after a woeful start. Goal for Ollie. McGinn, Cash & Torres all played well. Buendia made me eat the words I said at HT!. Hope Ty's injury isn't serious. Pau is a better fit for us currently but we'll still need Ty

A win. Clean sheet due to Bizot. Better tempo BUT many issues remain. Not taking chances we do make. Rogers, Guessand, Buendia & Watkins all poor. Torres did well. Boubacar Kamara was MOTM. Still don't get the team selection. We'll need to play a hell of a lot better than that to beat Fulham! 🦁 UTV

Massive coup for Villa. Roberto Olable has a track record of top signings!!!. A Basque countryman. Unai heavily involved in the decision making 🦁 UTV

Maybe the fact that Enzo Barrenechea has never played competitively for us coupled with players like Nedeljkovic being moved on very quickly (Garcia may follow suit?) shows that Monchi's creative input in regards to young potential bargains hasn't been working for both Unai or the owners??? 🦁

From 1978/79-2024/25 the ONLY season that broke me was 2015/16, I couldn't even muster an emotion. Just resigned indifference. I'm getting flashbacks!. It's not the results, although they are absolutely shite!!. It's the performances. Predictable, flat, slow, lifeless, boring, just meh! 😐 🦁

The only CF we have until January is Watkins & that thought currently fills me with dread! 😱 I didn't honestly think it was possible to be worse than we've been in our first 4 games, but we've proved it to be possible!!!. That was RANCID, it smelt like 2015/16. Apart from scoring, ZERO POSITIVES 🦁

Should've put Martinez on the bench!!....Just f*ck off Villa

Hearing very good things about Fletcher Boyd who we've signed for over £1m from Aberdeen. The 17 year-old attacking midfielder had already made 14 appearances & scored twice for Aberdeen's 1st-team. Could be fast tracked into our 1st Team Squad after a few games for the U-21's 🦁 UTV

A number of EFL clubs (including Championship clubs) tried to sign our young RB Tristan Rowe on a season loan today. We refused! 🤔 We usually loan out all of our young players!!. He impressed me in pre-season..... 🦁

Worth the wait!! 👍🦁 UTV

I don't see us accepting low offers for Martinez. I think a likely scenario is he returns with his tail between his legs!!. Emery is pragmatic. Elliot signing with an obligation to buy, Sancho on loan, Lindelof for free & keep Martinez is acceptable IF emotions are taken out of the equation! 🦁

Martinez can f*ck off & the rest of them should hang their heads in shame!. Emery has to sort this out during the international break. Get the sports psychologists in!!! 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️ I'm too depressed to even feel angry. It's not hyperbole to say this is relegation form. No pace, no guile, no self-belief 😞😞

If the options are: (A) Selling Martinez without signing a quality replacement. And getting trapped in a £50m obligation deal for Paqueta. OR (B) Do nothing I would choose (B) !!! 🦁

Selling Martinez to Man United with no time to get a replacement anywhere near his level would be a kamikaze decision 🤬

That's a good 8 games for us in the Europa League, 2 teams we've played before. Obviously we need to find some form & build some momentum but the only really tough fixture is away to Fenerbache. I'm confident we'll get a Top 8 spot 🦁 UTV

Back To Brentford!! 🤬

😂😂😂 Man United. The gift that keeps on giving!!!!!!! 😂😂😂

Just awful. FRESH BLOOD & a total rethink is needed. We're STALE Not one positive today. No pace, no width. Too easy to play against 🦁

3 changes for me tomorrow. The 3 M's...MARTINEZ, MAATSEN & MALEN. Bizot did very well on his debut but Emi is our No.1 GK. We need more pace & width. I'd play Kamara alongside Mings. Maatsen in for Digne & Malen starting on the right. We need an attacking winning mentality & 3 points! 🦁 UTV

That first half performance and then playing for over half an hour with 10 men, that is a GOOD Point!!. I didn't want to lose out unbeaten home record against them!!!!. Bizot & Mings get all the plaudits from me. If you can't win, don't lose 🦁 UTV

McGinn off 🤔 Tielemans back in midfield. Buendia on as a 10? 🤔 Give it 10-15 minutes then look at a change in formation (go to a back 3) take Cash & possibly Onana off to bring Malen & Guessand on. No shot on goal at home at HT is embarrassing!! 🦁

Only ONE positive from that half. It's still 0-0. Have to make at least one change. Malen, Guessand, Buendia & Maatsen should all be warming up because this simply isn't working 🦁

We're said to be attempting to hijack Marseille's move for JOEL ORDÓÑEZ!. That would be SWEET REVENGE! 😉 He was so impressive for Club Brugge last season. He has a poise & maturity that you don't often see from a 21-year-old CB. Come on Monchi sign another of my top attainable summer targets! 🦁 UTV

5 attainable players I'd love to see in a Villa shirt if we got our valuation for Martinez & Ramsey, & sold all our deadwood this summer 1. Lucas Chevalier (Lille) GK 2. Harvey Elliot (Liverpool) AM/RM 3. Evann Guessand (Nice) CF 4. Joel Ordóñez (Club Brugge) CB 5. Vanderson (AS Monaco) RWB

I think we're going to sell Jacob Ramsey to Forest to fund our move for Harvey Elliott from Liverpool 🦁 UTV

Idiotic media saying Marco Bizot is Emi's replacement!.🤦 He's obviously coming in to be an improvement on Olsen as our new No.2 GK 🦁 Now Onana's staying at Man Utd I can't see them splashing big 💰 on Martinez. Their haggling over Mbuemo with Brentford shows their funds are limited this summer 🦁 UTV

Signing Ferran Torres for £43m from Barcelona would be really exciting. But I fear this will just be a repeat of our chase for Felix. Forest look to be favourites to sign Bakayoko from PSV for a lower fee on far lower wages & a straightforward deal to complete. I hope Monchi proves me wrong! 🦁 UTV

Just read that Diogo Jota & his brother have been killed in a car accident 😔 He only got married last week. So sad 😔 RIP
