A bidding war for Guessand? #AVFC

Celta Vigo please, UEFA. Time for some revenge. I'm old enough enough to remember the first time they rocked up to VP and destroyed us. #AVFC

Finally warmed up. What a night that was. Matty Cash coming on made a the difference. And Harvey Elliott offered more in that game than Guessand did all season. #AVFC

And tonight is this boy's time to shine! #AVFC

Isn’t ChatGPT great? #AVFC

I hope the powers that be at Villa introduce Dougie, Tammy & Leon at HT tonight to the strains of ‘The Boys Are Back In Town.’ Imagine the scenes! #AVFC

Me when Tammy & Dougie rock up to VP on Sunday. #AVFC

Would I have an issue with Bizot becoming our new no.1 going forward? Not at all. #AVFC

Marco Bizot. Tick a boo, son.

Should be 2-0. Oh Sancho! Played well on the break in the opening 15 minutes. But dominated since. Buendia has been excellent. Bogarde a bit too slow at times. Missing Kamara. But we knew that anyway. #AVFC

I've been a season ticket holder since 1989. And that was probably the best league game I've ever witnessed at VP. It had everything. Hats off to Bouba & Emi. But for me, Maatsen was superb from start to finish. #AVFC

I'll be missing my first European game tonight since I started going to VP way back in ‘89. It's just not worth the risk, even with all the extra security in place. Should have been played at BMH in my opinion. Those who are still going, stay safe. UTV. #AVFC

Spare a thought for all the Matty Cash haters tonight. Him & Onana clear stand outs today. Rode the storm incredibly well in the 2nd half. What a performance. What a team. UTV! #AVFC

So many chances. So low on quality. I'm amazed we’re favourites for this cup after tonight. #AVFC

That's one of the worst penalty kicks I've seen since Chris Waddle & Stuart Pearce way back in Italia ‘90. And before you ask, yes I'm old enough to remember it. #AVFC

Well, that was inevitable. #AVFC

The game should have been over after 30 minutes. But since then, we've sat back and I'm not surprised they've equalised. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, but Pau is just too slow. Some noise the Go Ahead fans are making. What an atmos! #AVFC

No doubt Keir will do everything to let them in anyway. #AVFC

What a result. We are back. Up the fucking Villa!!! - subs made the difference. And what skill from Digne & Cash for Emi’s goal. #AVFC

EMI BUENDIA. WHAT A GUY!!! #AVFC

The swazz on that finish! #AVFC

Way too passive. We should be pouncing on Spurs’ inability to play out of the back. Digne & Cash struggling already. #AVFC

This.

UP THE FUCKING EURO VILLA. MARCO. BIZOT. #AVFC

Marco Bizot. My POTM by a country mile. #AVFC

Pau’s work rate tonight has been off the charts. So happy for Buendia. Malan has made an instant impact from the bench. And a word of appreciation for Marco Bizot tonight. Quite happy for him to be our new no.1 in January. #AVFC

Foot. Traction. Engine. #AVFC

MATTY FUCKING CASH!!! #AVFC

It's all a bit pedestrian again No threat. No urgency and no service for Watkins still. Time to drop Rogers too. #AVFC

So, how are we all feeling about Emi being back in between the sticks tomorrow? #AVFC

I hope the ECB look after Sonny Baker. Awful start to his International career. #ENGvSA

We took our time, but overall, pretty pleased with what we've brought in this window. Now to deal with Emi after the internationals. #AVFC

So, have we signed Harvey Elliott or not? #AVFC

Thank fuck the window’s slammed shut! #AVFC

So, if the rumour is true that Emi’s move to Yanited has collapsed. Make him train with the academy until the next transfer window. The dirty rat. #AVFC

Decent draw. But I won't be going to the Tel Aviv game. #AVFC

No words for that performance. We’re clearly short of numbers going into the season, and the sooner we sell Pau, the better. #AVFC

Wishing Leon Bailey all the best, ok his form over the last couple of seasons dipped, but you can't say that the lad never gave his all. Sad to see him go. Hope he smashes it in Serie A. #AVFC

Today in a nutshell? Fuck PSR. #AVFC

Cash could score 5 goals and assist an Ollie Watkins hat-trick and Villa twitter would still call him shit. Ffs. His fault Ezri pulled Gordon down, apparently, Ez isn’t responsible for his own actions. Not a word about the two massive blocks he made or his other good defensive moments. 🙄 #AVFC

Villa fans trying to work out how they can be mad at Matty Cash for Lucas Digne having a poor game:

What a stinker to start the season. Rogers disappointing & Watkins hardly getting any service. I would have liked to see some subs made sooner, but that probably wasn't helped by the red card. Oh, and have referees been told never to call a foul committed by Dan Burn? #AVFC

What a chaotic game. More of the same for the rest of the season, please. #EPL

The state of Liverpool! Gives hope to the rest of us I suppose. Hats off to Semenyo. Deserves that brace after what he was subjected to in the 1st half.

Nice to see #AVFC have reduced the price of parking for blue badge holders after Chris Heck raised it by 100% this time last year. Good work Signor Calvo.

So many positives to take from last night against Roma. Tielemans is hitting his stride already, Buendia looked a threat throughout and hope Insi gives him a chance. And Jimoh-Aloba & Illing-Junior impressed me in the 2nd half. I think I'm ready for football again. #AVFC

‘Three years of hurt, never stopped me dreaming!’

A sign of a great team. Play average and still win. What a humdinger.

The 🐐
