Even if we leave out the (friendly) Sevilla win:

Our last 8 games: W5 D2 L1

Our last 5 games: W4 D1 L0

5 games in a row unbeaten. Lookin' good...

Since god has anyone had nearly the same impact on our club as unai? Only person close is mcginn

I would do anything for this man.

"'Running distance, sprints, ball possession, expected goals... We were superior to our opponent in all of them. We weren't overwhelmed. 4-5 chances in the first half... It didn't work out, we couldn't score, they did. These things happen in football."

was yesterday the lowest number of English players to start a Villa game? Mings the only English player (on the basis that Cash represents Poland)? two Brazilian starters was the highest nationality represented.. a truly diverse lineup!

Im a chelsea fan. So apologies for roaming in here. But gotta say i worried for villa with the sales this summer and maybe didnt see the signing early in window but think you made some very decent signings and your if anything a higher ceiling side then last year.

Hate we sold you jackson as so underrated but just wanted to say fair play to you. Dont look forward to playing you this year.

The last time I saw a team that dirty was when the shit beat us 2-1 in the League Cup back in 2010.

I remember Liam Ridgewell booting Ashely Young in the back and the ref and linesmen doing nothing.

Back then there was no VAR.

Today there was no excuse for Gillet not sending off Botman at the very least. I don't understand prem refs at all. Talk to the captain and say enough is enough when players are deliberately trying to injure other players.

It always feels like referees bottle it at SJP. They always seem to bow down to the crowd.

I am very happy we beat them today, hopefully we are turning a corner and beating highly physical thug teams.

rewatching the highlights and both jackson and tammy ran to the sidelines to congratulate/acknowledge each other after scoring. really good to see and will rub off fantastically on young Madjo.

First Maatsen, then Ruggeri, now AWB… hopefully it’s nothing to bad for AWB because at this rate we’re not going to have enough players to fill in that position…

John McGinn dissects PSR, club-record Champions League win & Aston Villa's new identity

Where would we be without him? I can't give him enough praise for what he's done for AVFC.

Hey everyone! I’m an American sports content creator coming to Birmingham for the Aston Villa vs Manchester City match on Saturday, October 24th.

I’m looking for someone local to help me film fan interviews outside Villa Park.

It’s a very simple gig and only requires about 1 hour of filming total:
30 minutes before the match
30 minutes after the match
No filming during the game!

I’ll provide all the camera equipment. No filming experience needed. Just need someone to hold the camera while I interview fans.

Offering £40, a free match ticket, and food.
If you’re interested, send me a DM! Happy to share some of my previous content so you can see what I do.

He now has 2 assists and a goal in 134 minutes in the league.

I’m an American who didn’t inherit a Premier League club, and I’ve recently decided I want to follow the league seriously and find a club I can genuinely invest in.
I’ve been trying to choose based less on current success and more on the qualities I already value in my other teams: history and tradition, strong local identity, competent team-building, development and good scouting, and being competitive without success feeling automatic or purely driven by having the deepest pockets.

My American teams are the Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Brewers, Milwaukee Bucks, Purdue University, and FC Cincinnati. Between them, I’ve always gravitated toward tradition and continuity, smart roster building and player development, disciplined/structured teams, and the feeling of watching something meaningful being built.
The more I’ve read about Villa — the history, Villa Park, the supporter culture, the European Cup, the fall and rise, and the current ambition — the more it feels like the best fit for me.

I also plan on dragging my wife and newborn son into this with me, so hopefully there’s room for a few more Villans.

So for those of you who have followed the club for years: what do I need to know that won’t show up in the Wikipedia/history-page version of Aston Villa? What was the moment that made Villa your club?

What should I know about this current squad and its personalities? Which players are especially loved by supporters? What traditions, songs, rivalries, inside jokes, old grudges, or bits of club culture should a new fan learn?

And most importantly: who am I supposed to start hating immediately?

That's a lot of passes.

Just watched Emerys post match interview after Fenerbache,basically said I cant put him in because of Jackson and Abraham,he will surely feature in the league Cup in a couple of weeks?I look forward to Emerys headache in weeks to come!
