Keir Starmer and all the grandstanding, pearl clutching politicians can fuck right off.
If you want to equate an Israeli fanbase who has a history of causing trouble with Jewish people generally, you're being anti-Semitic.
Jewish people are always welcome at Villa Park. Hooligans aren't.

Absolutely massive win today. I believe now. That was our hardest fixture left, the fact we've won that gives me belief we can finish 5th, or at the very worst 6th to guarantee Europa, but I believe in 5th.
Onanam MOTM for me today.

@jrothman.bsky.social I just finished The Ledger and the Chain and wanted to express my gratitude for your work.
I found myself wondering about the lives of slave traders and your book was eye opening on the subject.
Your research help bridge the gaps of time to deepen my understanding. Thank you.

Well it was ugly, and it seemed appropriate for a lot of the game that we were playing in a kit last seen when we were a bunch of amateurs, but we got the win which is all that matters.
Hopefully an easier draw in the next round.
Happy Birthday Aston Villa.

As we are half way through the season, lets review our fixtures with their equivalent last season. Data from FBref.
10 points down from the same fixtures last season, with less xG but surprisingly lower xGA too.
Is Emi not bailing us out as much this year compared to 23-24?

It's frustrating being a Villa fan at the moment. We are obviously a good team, but in some ways being a good team who aren't performing to expectations is more frustrating than when we were shit. We are such a frustrating team to watch this year because we are our own worst enemy. 1/6 #avfc

Brilliant performance from Anthony there. He was vital for his team from the very first whistle and a key part of their win.
Anthony Taylor that is...
In all seriousness Newcastle weren't anything special today. We could have got something without that terrible red decision.
I hate SJP.

Pretty disappointing that. I wasn't surprised to see them score & thought a draw would have been a fair result, however we conceded 2 from some sloppy ass defending, same as all season.
Forest are a good team this year so no shame in a loss.
Onwards and upwards. At least we got the CL win.

What a save from Emi, one of the best I've ever seen from him.
Then we score within a minute or two to make it even more vital.
I thought coming into today first goal would be vital. We will lose if Forest score it.
To get that first goal, we should hopefully get at least a point from this. #avfc

Not giving a penalty because of Rogers fouling Anderson is fair enough.
Saying it's not sustained contact is bullshit. When did the rules change so you're allowed a little foul? Ah, just a wee foul is fine, but don't take it too far or it's a foul.
Ref's pulling that from their arse.

Bournemouth this year have the makings of a very very good team. Their biggest challenge is going to be holding onto Iraola all year.
They should be up by multiple goals against Spurs. If they don't win this, they only have their profligacy in front of goal to blame.
As for Spurs, Jekyll & Hyde.

I went to Ketchikan, Alaska in 2022 and was greeted by bald eagles sitting on lampposts like I'd see pigeons at home. Quite a sight. #photography

#avfc It's always harder to follow the game when working so I don't have any great insights, but I'm delighted to be back to winning ways and see Mings getting the plaudits.
Hopefully we can put the blip behind us with another win on Saturday.

#avfc We are just so boring to watch at the moment when we aren't winning. Possession feels sterile and for the sake of it. Most of our chances seem to come on the transition, yet we keep the ball for the sake of it.
We are missing Luiz's creativity and Diaby stretching the defence to create space.

Guess I'll start my bluesky account by posting what is probably my favourite portrait ever taken. This was in 2015 at a religious festival in Nashik, India called Kumbh Mela.
