@henrywinter Give over Henry. The guy is quality and he’s had a good World Cup overall, especially when you consider the physical efforts the players they through. What we don’t need is the English media causing more issues.

[Ben Lyons @BenJLyons]

@HughWoozencroft Totally agree on Watkins playing with Kane, amazed it's not suggested more as an option.

[Ben Lyons @BenJLyons]

@SteveMorse1927 @prodnose @ITV Don’t agree , Lucy Ward is a brilliant commentator, well informed and miles better than Dixon.

[Ben Lyons @BenJLyons]

@VillaViews_ Was thinking this earlier…you used to be able to get VHS / DVD reviews of the season but don’t think there is any modern equivalent!?

[Ben Lyons @BenJLyons]

@AVFCBlog I was there tonight and the fans were superb all things considered, that was shocking

[Ben Lyons @BenJLyons]

@simonlines In hindsight the selection of Buendia and Digne over Sancho and Maatsen was too conservative and self defeating

[Ben Lyons @BenJLyons]

@academyavfc Hi @academyavfc , I had a friend at the game who said the Villa number 10 was unreal…do you know who the name?

[Ben Lyons @BenJLyons]

@Real_Rob_Warner One of the best co-commentators without a doubt

[Ben Lyons @BenJLyons]

@AaronBMacLean And killing him will achieve what exactly?

[Ben Lyons @BenJLyons]

@AVFCStatto Shocked Sancho, Tammy, Barkley , Bogarde and Pau didnt start tbh

[Ben Lyons @BenJLyons]

@marshallavfc Unfortunately- like most fanbases - some of our home match going fans are absolutely brainless

[Ben Lyons @BenJLyons]

@danieIscouting He's absolute quality for 22 and will only get better and better.

[Ben Lyons @BenJLyons]

@AVFCBlog The guy is top quality and exactly why the loss of Kamara should not be as bad as people think.

[Adam @AdamJoseph]

This time last year, City signed Marmoush & Khusanov for €120m, with Marmoush getting paid €300k per week. They've turned out to be crap signings, so via their artificial financial inflation they can just go again with Semenyo & Guehi with zero consequence.

It is not to be praised, but questioned. It is not to be aspired to, but disgusted by. It is a blight on football. A disease eating away at the sport for 18 years.

[Haroun @HarounHickman]

Man City bought Khusanov + Marmoush for over €100m a year ago, swaying the latter with an astronomical salary.

Their ‘generational’ manager hasn’t made them work, so they drop another €100m a year later on two of the PL’s best players + huge salaries.

Doped, artificial club.

[Patrick Timmons @PatrickTimmons1]

Marc Guehi’s signing will likely take Manchester City’s spending to ~£500m in the last 12 months.

All while we STILL await the verdict of their 115 potential financial breaches.

Ah yes. Seems completely normal.

[Ben Lyons @BenJLyons]

@lukerobinson89 The best way to play to Villa is to really get at us…high pressure and intensity, however it’s tough to sustain that for a full 90 mins.

[Ben Lyons @BenJLyons]

Sky commentatory again… @GNev2 criticising Newcastle for having the temerity to change their formation…Peter Drury referring to ‘United’ like their is only one United playing. Absolute joke having Neville do Man Utd games and Carragher do Liverpool. @SkySportsPL please stop!

[Ben Lyons @BenJLyons]

@BpsmithUk Taking from the working population to continue funding those on benefits. It’s an absolute disgrace.

[Ben Lyons @BenJLyons]

@JasonManford Paid for by workers to fund non-workers. It’s absolutely not a cause for celebration.
