Bournemouth, Brighton, Brentford killing it and are examples to be followed and strategy to be pitched at higher levels. Seems like we've just done a Man Utd speedrun, but at least they are winning and scoring now 😭

I'm thinking about (maybe) bringing a second writer into @astonvillareview.com

Might not do it. Don't know what the terms would be. But there it is.

Very rare that a Villa match is an utter waste of time post-2022. That was one of them.

Banned from last season's red card 😢

100% but I do think Gordon scores or troubles us if he's through. Id take that red card

james rushton ✌️ @jamesrushton.bsky.social · Aug 16

Was shocked that our pass completion rate was above 60% it looked like we made 12 passes the whole game

Oviedo are in La Liga? Wtf

Leander Dendoncker close to joining Real Oviedo. No transfer fee involved but helps #AVFC in efforts to comply with UEFA's financial rules. Some details to be discussed and no medical planned yet, but deal is near to being finalised.

Villa Vs Toon:

The Good:

12:30 kick off so it's over already.
A point again
The video of Unai crossing himself
Bizot

The Bad:

Had to wake up early
Was too hot
Every single pass
The ref
