Ahhh, another day, another Manchester United penalty. Just the six for the season. Welcome to life in the Premier League. Reminder: Aston Villa, the most fouled team in the Premier League, penalties: Zero. #avfc

Of all the depressing things in the world today, the lack of critical thinking, morons voting for morons, corruption, inflation, demagoguery, the one thing that's stopped me in my tracks is: THE BLOUSE ACTUALLY THINK TOMMY SHELBY IS A REAL PERSON However bad your day, it ain't that bad #avfc

Hats off to Mashiter & the BBC, a new low reached Scrape by on pens "Famous night for Forest" "Villa.. maybe men.. lucky to still be in the top 5" That's Villa, 4th on merit, European Quarter Finals for 3 consecutive seasons. + enjoy their usual total lack of understanding of PSR Woeful #avfc

Unai Emery 🇪🇸 leads Villa to a third consecutive European Quarter Final, his 25th win with Villa in European competition, his 25th win of the season and his 60th win at Villa Park. 183 Games #avfc

Emiliano Martínez 🇦🇷 secures his 120th win for Villa. Emiliano Martínez 🇦🇷 keeps his 80th clean sheet for Villa. Emiliano Martínez 🇦🇷 keeps his 50th clean sheet under Unai Emery 🇪🇸. #avfc

85th start under Emery for Douglas Luiz 🇧🇷 80th appearance for Ian Maatsen 🇳🇱 50th appearance for Tammy Abraham 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 25th European appearance for Pau Torres 🇪🇸 10th European start for Amadou Onana 🇧🇪 #avfc

Unai Emery 🇪🇸 leads Villa for the 36th time in European competition as many as Villa’s last four European managers combined: 2006-10 Martin O'Neill 🇬🇧 (12) 1998-02 John Gregory 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (8) 1994-98 Brian Little 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (8) 1991-94 Ron Atkinson 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (8). He needs a haircut mind. #avfc

i did enjoy writing this into the archive though

Finally "Cheating" is being used directly & unequivocally The deference dam has broken We know the PL is corrupt, a shoddy £10m is a fine exemplar What they clearly hadn't factored in is that 'Cheat' is far more damaging that any monetary sanction After all, it can't be laundered away #avfc

Villa U18s 3-1 West Ham — Jack McGrath with a brace to help the young Villans get back on track. Match report: wix.to/1AWUhsR #AVFC #U18s #footballfix www.avfchistory.co.uk/post/u18s-st...

Villa's most expensive signing is Onana 🇧🇪 @ €59.35m, €25m more than Watkins, Villa’s 2nd most expensive player to play today. The opposition had EIGHT players today who cost more than Onana, and ELEVEN who cost more than Watkins. We're '5th', and people say Emery Out 🤯 #avfc

Just seen the game, Villa should've won, United scored against the run of play, then Fernandes scored yet another OT pen

So there's somebody on TalkSport who 'supports' Tottenham & says they should forfeit the game against Liverpool at the weekend I mean, yes, that is pure Spurs, what other club celebrates conceding so it hurts their rivals? But really, what is happening to the game? Pathetic

I've always liked Wrexham, historic ground, been through some rough times, 6 Underground is a massively underrated film, and they're 8 points clear of the Blouse.

I know I should rise above it, but it really pisses me off when the BBC use my data and provide no credit whatsoever. Totally lacking class that lot.

Kneejerk match report: www.avfchistory.co.uk/game/5822 🟥 4 Mar 2026 Villa 1-4 Chelsea, Villa Park Impossible expectations, constraints and powers of influence as Chelsea once again wait for their visit to VP for their best performance of the season #avfc

Chasing the game, gonna get caught 1-1, 2-1, looks so different literally and metaphorically at HT we'll get picked off throughout this second half, but we've had the chances for this scoreline to be very different, not a game to be hard on the team, this is no Wolves #avfc

⚽ 41’ Goal! 2-1, Ollie Watkins, Assist by Morgan Rogers 🎥 42’ VAR Disallows goal for an offside knee 🥅 45’+6 Goal, 1-2, (Chelsea), João Pedro 🎥 45’+7 VAR allows goal despite what appears to be an equally tight offside to 42’ Nice #avfc

Truly epic gamble from Unai to back Watkins, Bailey and Buendia to shake off their recent malaise and come good tonight. 👀 #AVFC

Unai Emery 🇪🇸 moves level with Ron Atkinson to become the joint-tenth longest serving Villa manager on 180 games. #avfc

My dad just wanted to say: “Up the Villa” Kelly Osbourne 28 February 2026 💜💙 #avfc

Villa "in Crisis" Qualified CL in 23/24, reached QF, lost out on GD on final day 24/25 + in CL place thro 25/26 Other side* "flying high" 15 pts behind, unlikely to qualify for EU thro PL, fortunate to qualify ahead of us 24/25, didn't 23/24 + needed play off to get to CL KO 25/26 *anonymised 😂

Credit where it's due, criticism where it's fair. Unai has won many deserved plaudits, but this defeat is on him. He got it totally wrong, which was blindingly obvious at KO. Knee Jerk Report: www.avfchistory.co.uk/game/5821 It's now a desperate struggle for the Europa League spot. #AVFC

You have to admire the absolute stupidity of putting Craig Pawson in charge of another kick-fest The most fouled team in the League vs. the dirtiest Genius If we come out of tonight injury-free it'll be the best result possible 3 pts? Nah, Villa always like to help out a team in trouble #avfc
