@ChrisW4 Especially if they're north Birmingham

@StanCollymore If Jude starts 10, what chance Rogers starts on the left? He often plays there for villa, and while Saka is a shoe-in on the right, neither Rashford nor Gordon have made LW their own.

Mad to think we were stressing after Spurs and Burnley, worrying Brighton and Bournemouth would catch us.

Then we thump Liverpool, stroll the Europa League, beat City, and finish well clear in 4th.

Incredible season.

@TyBracey He looks frustrated with what's going on around him, then trying too hard on the rare occasion he does get the ball.

[Ben Stack @BenStax]

Villa on the pop for the last 72 hours, facing City for Pep's last game.

Looking good for Bournemouth.

If the disallowed Rogers goal had been given at Old Trafford end of last season, we might have qualified for Champions League rather than Europa. And Istanbul would never have happened.

Funny how things work out.

@J_Tanswell @VillaViews_ Emery also likes to let teams run around and tire themselves out. Wouldn't surprise me if the first half is cagey and we wait until they lose their legs in the second half.

[Ben Stack @BenStax]

Your regular reminder that Emery is achieving all this with a fraction of the spending that other clubs get away with.

Konsa has been absolutely immense.

How many goals do we give away because Cash isn't strong enough?

#avfc

[Ben Stack @BenStax]

Great goal against the run of play, slightly fortunate to be ahead but we look threatening on the break.

Silly early booking for Cash up against Liverpool's most threatening player.

@danbardell Mainly about winning the ball imo. We lost every 50/50 against spurs, need some fight in the middle of the pitch.

[Ben Stack @BenStax]

We haven't won one 50/50, and the amount of heavy touches to lose the ball is shocking.

Just an astonishingly poor performance. Utterly bizarre.

@dank_ackroyd Ordered a cheeseboard and decided to start with the soft white cheese. Ate a massive wedge on a cracker and was almost sick. It was butter.

@LongpigsBand One of yours, @seaninsound ?

@DPJHodges We're getting lost in the rabbit hole of "who knew what and when?" when the far bigger issue for me is "why did Starmer ever think Mandelson was a good appointment?".

[Ben Stack @BenStax]

Breathless game at Villa Park. McGinn outstanding. Watkins ran O'Nien ragged, Ballard a big step up when he came on. Happy to see Rigg subbed as he was @SunderlandAFC's most dangerous player. Diarra also excellent, hope he doesn't get grief from @emartinez 's magic.
