pretty simple why teams don’t want you to see player grades for teams best grade here was the HC who got fired

Cool moment for Mikaela Shiffrin. Who doesn't love a good sports comeback story?

after a bronze in Pyongchang, bronze and silver in Beijing, AFTER AN ACL TEAR JUST 311 DAYS AGO, REMARKABLY... FEDERICA BRIGNONE IS AN OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALLIST AND AT HOME 😭❤️ This is a run that'll go down in history, she risked it all and THE TIGRESS ROARED

Tyrone Mings' next appearance for Aston Villa will be his 200th for the club in all competitions.  Mings will become the 96th player to reach this milestone for the club and the 7th player in the current squad.  #AVFC

No matter what combination of blankets and duvet I use to regulate my temperature, it's the one leg in one leg out method that always hits the spot ! 😆

Good morning. Be ungovernable.

All the stuff about Sam Prendergast's defence is a complete red herring. He will get his body in the way of most carries in his channel. The actual issue is his complete lack of pace and that he doesn't actually do what he's most often credited with — tactically "move the team around".

As the Russian Whitefront invasion intensifies with a wave of new birds further east, the #shropshirebirding flock of 5 swelled to 40 this morning. I arrived to find 127 on Crudgington Moor and flocks of 49 and 18 passed overhead to the east! Absolutely incredible scenes 😍 #ukbirding

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Will write more on for Friday but #AVFC are mostly manager-led in recruitment so Emery can tend to stick with what he knows when presented with options. He wanted a CM (& ST) who adapt quickly. Has good relationship with Douglas Luiz & player is very, very excited about returning

wonder how many companies with "return to office" policies had the sense to tell employees to work at home today. remember when working from home was being called the "new normal", that was a fun 5 minutes

Evann Guessand to travel to London to finalise loan+option agreement with Crystal Palace. 24yo's game-time at #AVFC was set to be reduced due to January recalls and reinforcements. W/@mattwoosie.bsky.social & @david-ornstein.bsky.social on @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/700...

I'm a big fan of 'more is better'..when it comes to a lot of things .l'm just not sure multiple Doms is one of them!

THE LADS ARE HERE.

HAHAHAHAHAH WE HAVE FOUND ANOTHER DOPPELGANGER!

Jesus..can the world cope with another you Dom!!!!

There's a few of us out here... We. Are. Legion.

New: Youri Tielemans faces an extended period on the sidelines following an ankle injury. Will undergo further scans today to determine the precise extent but initial timeframe expects recovery to be after John McGinn. Story @theathleticfc.bsky.social #AVFC www.nytimes.com/athletic/700...

Emiliano Martinez is set to make his 200th Premier League appearance for #AVFC this weekend. He will become the 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐇 player to reach this milestone for the club in the competition, the 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 goalkeeper and the 𝐅𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐓𝐇 player in the current squad.

Last Dublin show of the tour tonight, so I’m afraid you’ve missed it! Thanks to all who came out, it’s been one of the most enjoyable runs ever here…

Wonderful day spent with Jo getting soaked but experiencing some glorious (dramatic) sights on both North + South sides (albeit marginal) of Dublin. Places i've meant to visit many times but we hadn't got around to it.. DEFFO will NOT be long til we're back, in sunnier weather!! #Bullisland #Poolbeg

We have just been talking about how amazing the sky was all afternoon, the side effects of all those rain showers! Beautiful 😍

Then we headed over to the other side of the tracks. We parked at the Shelly Banks (memories of my Grandad taking me there many moons ago) and walked down to the Poolbeg Lighthouse. So many iconic Dublin landmarks 💚

A beautiful day in Dublin, Northside & Southside! First a visit to Bull Island as Phil was looking for a Snow Bunting, which he found. Such a gorgeous spot, it's easy to forget how close to the city you are here. 1/2.

Would be far more significant if countries actually boycott PLAYING in the U.S.

Donyell Malen's numbers for Aston Villa: 46 games played 1,514 minutes plated 10 goals 2 assists 126 minutes per goal involvement 0.15 goals per shot 0.35 goals per shot on target Thanks for everything, Donyell 💜 #AVFC

www.avfchistory.co.uk/post/donyell... Exactly a year since signing, Donyell Malen leaves Villa for Roma on loan with a €25m obligation to buy. Seemingly, nothing makes sense in a world of PSR and SCR, but more than most, this transfer seems odd. #avfc

Spurs fans never fail to disappoint, do they? Are they all forever trapped in a 12yo's mind? We'll do our thing, they do theirs, we play them 2x a year, occasionally more, so why the obsession with Villa? It's like next door neighbours kid constantly wanting attention, it gets embarrassing quickly

Fuck me. Also that whole bagpipe version of Amazing Grace being number one for months in the era of T-Rex, Ziggy, Zeppelin etc is just..... ye gods

🚨 🚨 🚨 Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has informed the team that he plans to step away from coaching, meaning one of the greatest to do it will take a break. Pittsburgh has a coveted opening.

I AM ABSOLUTELY FOR THIS WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?! I'll have to wear kneepads though #safetyfirst

We genuinely had a discussion about changing the logo to “Mock of the Week” to see if anyone would notice.

The Premier League's Key Match Incidents Panel rules that Andre and Mikel Merino should have received second yellow cards vs #AVFC. The panel highlighted just three other players who have escaped a second caution in matches this season, as per BBC data.

Emi Martinez will miss Aston Villa's FA Cup tie at Spurs as he nurses a calf problem felt before Crystal Palace. Unai Emery: "For him, it's easier to decide not to play, but he played. It was his choice to play the second half, but we decided to stop him." #AVFC

www.avfchistory.co.uk/post/spurs-a... Did you know? Villa have faced Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup on 13 previous occasions, winning 5 but losing 7. #AVFC v Spurs (a) FA Cup Match Pack out now.. team news, fixture history, predictions & more... 💜💙

Morgan Rogers' evolution at Aston Villa has been staggering. He has grown into one of the Premier League's most enthralling, threatening attackers. He is also a curiosity. @jacobtanswell.bsky.social charts his rise ⤵️ 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/692...

Fantastic to see that Yellowhammer numbers have now reached 30 at @bibbeyswildfarms.bsky.social 😍 A little sample of them were captured in this photo. Don’t you just love Nature Friendly Farming on Brum’s urban fringe! 😎 @worcswt.bsky.social @bbcwildlifetrust.bsky.social @bosfonline.bsky.social

Ross Barkley on IG… Positive update, hopefully once back he can stay healthy & give Emery another important option as schedule picks up 👊🏽🟣🔵 #avfc #UTV

Surely it's time to break the hoodoo tonight?! #AVFC can't keep losing to the same team... especially a weakened one! I'll take a draw but I can smell 3 points #UTV

In place at Selhurst Park for Aston Villa's fourth consecutive away league game in London, the first time they've played four in a row in the capital since between December and February in the 1989-90 campaign. A 13th win in 14 matches is the target this evening… 🤞 #AVFC
