Many thanks to the folks at @milstrategymag for publishing my work.

@HLTCO To be honest, I think Emery’s intensity and structure didn’t suit him at all. He seemed to be a player who never quite knew what he should be doing for us. Emery never really trusted him but he clearly had some talent. His lack of acceleration made the memes pretty good though.
🚨🏴 Leo Messi: “Facing England will be special! It’s my first time playing against England. I’ve played against just about everyone except them”.
“They are a great team, a football powerhouse, it’s always exciting to face opponents like that”.
I am so emotional over this. I’ve been going to Villa all my life, I was a boy when we last won a major trophy. I watched us go down, watched us lose a play off final, I’ve seen the club on the brink of bankruptcy only to rebuild, overcome and conquer. Thank you #avfc!
@afneil These cock-sure proclamations of everything wrong are easy now, but hindsight is 20/20, very few can hand on heart say they demanded greater defence spending in the midst of the financial crisis, the austerity years or even on the eve of 2022. Defence spending doesn’t win votes.
@AndyAitcheson@BO3673 He and I have gone to Villa together for years. You can think what you like about his other areas of work but I’ll tell you right now he’s a proper fan.
