✍️ Ian Long: “It’s a massive boost to get Browny over the line

“We had to fight off a lot of competition to keep him with us, but he expressed his desire to stay at the club.

“The team spirit here was a major factor behind his decision to stay and we couldn’t be happier.”

Last night highlighted what a huge club Aston Villa are. They know that, of course. But it was a reminder to those tuning in from around the world the size of the club, the passionate fanbase, the quality of coach and players, and all by joyous royal approval, too. #AVFC

@GuillemBalague Me and my Dad. High emotions and memories for life ❤️ Your book is superb, you get to the core of what makes the genius Unai tick. Looking forward to more victorious chapters!

Up The Villa! 💜🩵

Good luck to Aston Villa in Istanbul tonight. Just been asked on the radio whether Villa will win the Europa League final. Unai Emery and his staff will have done all their homework on Freiburg, analysed the strengths and weaknesses of Bundesliga’s seventh-placed club. Johan Manzambi is a box-to-box force. Vincenzo Grifo on the left can be a threat. Villa will respect Freiburg but not fear them. Emery is brilliant at preparing for challenges like this.

Emery has shown with Sevilla and Villarreal (does he live in a villa?) that he holds the map and compass for the Europa League journey, and now from the Bull Ring to Istanbul. He knows the way to glory. Emery also has John McGinn leading the way. Any team with a strong character like McGinn has a strong chance.

He’s 31, at his peak, a player who joined Villa in the Championship, fought hard to get them up, Rotherham away, down to 10 men, Mings off, Abraham missed pen, but a tough Scot drove them on to victory. “John McGinn was so good I thought there were two of him,” Dean Smith said. Villa back to fifth, play-offs, Wembley goal, promotion, Europe. McGinn deserves every accolade currently bestowed on him.

Youri Tielemans is a man for the big occasion. Any team with "Little Emi" Buendia and Morgan Rogers will have a supply line to goal, complemented by full-back forays of Lucas Digne and Matty Cash. Any attack with Ollie Watkins in this prolific vein of form (10 goals in 11 all comps) has a very good chance of chances being taken.

Any defence with Ezri Konsa has pace and composure, and a goalkeeper of great experience and belief in "Big Emi" Martinez. Villa have the players. They have the manager. They have the impassioned support. If Villa repeat the intensity that swept aside Nottingham Forest and Liverpool recently (McGinn scoring three times), Villa will win. #AVFC #UEL #UELfinal

Couldn’t resist a precursory squizz at the scene for the Europa League final tomorrow evening, the Tüpraş Stadium on the banks of the Bosphorus, the home of @Besiktas before a party cruise on the waters with Team Keogh and Ady.

It’s getting real now…Up The Villa!

Unai Emery isn’t - checks notes - on the six-man shortlist for Premier League Manager of the Season - checks notes again - #AVLLIV

[Nick Allen @PicsVC]

Cracking night at Villa Park dominating proceedings against the mighty Liverpool. Mission accomplished by the masterful Unai Emery. Champions League here we come…again!

Istanbul and Europa League Final incoming and making more magic memories with my Dad.

Priceless ❤️ #UTV 💜🩵

@SimonHednesford No need to apologise, I’m well versed in Hednesford Town’s history. A telling statistic is that our nearest NPL trip would be Leek (46 miles) after Hednesford Town’s promotion. There are a whopping 11 journeys in the Southern League Central that are less miles than that for us 👍🏻

[Nick Allen @PicsVC]

The right decision for us. We were the fall guys and it took our club into deep waters last season and it was only our strength of character and determination that got us through. We need people to come and back us, it’s about great community clubs surviving and thriving.
