Sending spurs down on the last day will be karma for letting them stay up this season #avfc #spurs

Watching Unai Emery up until recently has been like watching Magnus Carlsen playing draughts : masterful, but limited by the pieces he inherited.
Now, with his own players, we’re watching a grandmaster playing chess ♚

🔑 Asensio could crack PSG wide open at Parc des Princes.
He knows the team and the cracks.
Recent PSG UCL form at home Ls: ❌Liverpool 0-1 ❌Bayern 0-1 ❌Real 1-2
Villa are fearless right now. 💜💙

🇵🇹🔥 PSG's Portuguese trio is on fire! Vitinha (94.1% pass accuracy), João Neves (only 20!), and Nuno Mendes are bossing games. Aston Villa will need a serious plan to stop them in the UCL clash! ⚽🔥 #AVFC #PSG

15 games unbeaten at Villa Park! 🏰🔥
After a 2-1 win over @NFFC 🌳, Unai Emery becomes the first #AVFC manager to go 15+ games unbeaten at home twice in the #PremierLeague era! 📈👑 Fortress Villa stands strong - a third straight year in Europe is in sight! ✨🌍

In 2015, the NT sold the Port of Darwin to China for $506m. No FIRB review. Turnbull’s gov just waved it through. Now it’s a “national security risk” and we’re talking compulsory buyback? Genius. The NT should have to pay it back. #auspol #DarwinPort #WhatCouldGoWrong

Aston Villa could make it 7 wins in a row and move closer to Champions League football with a win over Forest tomorrow. Unai Emery’s revolution rolls on. 💜💙 #AVFC #UTV #EmeryEffect

Chelsea values their women's team at £150m ~17x its £8.8m revenue. That's about half of what Newcastle sold for in 2021. Thoughts? 🤔⚽ #CFC #NUFC #EPL

@BigKev67 Saame mate, I checked a few of the other games and they worked. Looks like they fucked up the Villa game.

@ianmiles I don't see a torque wrench. The 1st tool is a ratchet and the 2nd tool is just a locking-off spanner. Also, the sequence for tightening should be to tighten the bolt radially opposite, not go around in sequence.

@aSheepie @dank_ackroyd Ohhhh.... Now I understand. A sourdough starter like a ball of yeast stuff, so not edgy at all. I was thinking it was an an entree, like pate on toast or something that is actually edgy.

@Qantas How does someone who can't use a phone contact you?

@Qantas How does someone unable to use a phone contact you about a booking? I've trawled through the website and can only find 1300 numbers.

@BBCRadio4 Hi, I listen from Australia and advising people to use fans in +35C heat is a bad idea on You and Yours. You're blowing air into yourself that is above body temp. It kills people, well documented, here's a link : https://t.co/ZjuAdDlMDn

@liambryan02 @benthulborn Add the star and beef up the 1874 a little and job's a good 'un. They won't do better than this.

@TyBracey Good stuff : McGinn's on fire. Buendia looking better. Ings will always score goals. Targett improving. Cash will be quality.
Not so good : Tuanzebe is not this level but at least we have Hause who might be. Watkins is carrying something and not firing on all cylinders yet.
