@AVFCOfficial @ChampionsLeague 2nd October 2018 : Villa draw 3-3 with Preston at Villa Park and Steve Bruce has a cabbage thrown at him

6 years later

2nd October 2024 : Villa play Bayern Munich at Villa Park in the Champions League

What a 6 years it's been

Rare tweet time

Lee Dixon watching the free kick back says "It's probably not much of a foul really but who cares"

Villa fans care.
We've been terrible, no excuses, Chelsea deserve this, but thats really pissed me off.

Rant over, back to not tweeting

@GaryLineker @RestIsFootball The clichés 'Game of 2 halves'
Is there a game that jumps out to you where you've bossed the first half, then walked off at full time thinking, "How have we lost that?" Was there an obvious change or moment that caused it?

[James Derrington 💙 @jamesderrington]

- The North Stand then becomes the next thing to do, when the other 3 stands are in better nick and it means the experience in the stadium is less lopsided.

I could be entirely wrong & this is just guess work. Either way #UTV

[James Derrington 💙 @jamesderrington]

After watching Chris Hecks' video and then having a 3 hour drive from Sheffield to mull it over, a few thoughts came to me.
- He mentions making improvements and bringing things to Villa Park. No hint about moving away but improving what's there. #avfc

[James Derrington 💙 @jamesderrington]

Less complaining on here about how crap it is getting a drink half time, or signal issues, when we've got more exposure than ever, especially if we get CL next season.
This makes the stadium more attractive for concerts which means more revenue, better sponsors etc... #avfc

My very rare post:

TMO in Rugby works so much better than VAR in football. Similar concepts but wildly different.

It's really clear what's going on. Fans in the stadium know what's happening, and nobody argues with it.

VAR can work, but it has to be used properly

This amazing frame from our @CoralEyewear range left the Llanishen practice with this lovely lady recently. Mrs C opted for for a good quality varifocal, and pairing them up with a blue graduated tint has made for a wonderful pair of spectacles!
