Villa’s away fans are immense. 4-0 down and down to 10 men and still louder than the home fans. UTV! #AVFC

Longest half of football I’ve ever watched. Only thing missing was a season-long injury #AVFV

Feels more like we’re looking for a deputy for Lindelof rather than a replacement for Konsa #AVFC

Europa League Starting XI - greatest achievement in 30 years, but 3 months later: Emi Martínez - GOING Matty Cash Ezri Konsa - GOING Pau Torres Lucas Digne - GONE Victor Lindelöf Youri Tielemans - GONE John McGinn (c) Morgan Rogers - GONE Emi Buendía Ollie Watkins - GOING That's over half 😭 #AVFC

🚨🔵⚪️ EXCL: Al Hilal submit official bid to Aston Villa for Ollie Watkins worth €45m total package, add-ons included. Watkins, keen on Al Hilal move while final decision is in #AVFC hands. Villa already rejected two approaches from the Saudi side — now official bid on table.

Love how the mainstream media go wild for even a sniff of a rumoured signing by the big 6. We actually go and sign one of the most exciting young goalkeepers in the world and not even a hint of coverage! #AVFC

Great game, and Villa played unbelievably well and were unlucky to lose. All the youngsters were exceptional and stand out performances from Maatsen, Buendia and Super John. UTV! #AVFC

Getting emotional again seeing the Istanbul highlights before tonight’s game. Still raw that Youri and Morgan have left 😭 #AVFC

Can someone please sneak onto the bus and get me one of these zip up track tops please. Thanking you 🙏 #AVFC

Villa have started emailing out Season Ticket Waiting List positions and points. I’m trying to understand the distribution and model what might be needed for 2027/28. If you’ve had your email, could you reply with just: Points: Position: Thanks! #AVFC

This coveted musical opus which we have long anticipated has finally descended upon us. I, with the utmost reverence and dedication to Music-Work Balance, shall devote my weekend hours to repeated auditory consumption of this masterpiece. A diligent ear serves the greater good. Praise Kier.

I’m only 5 minutes in but already know this is my favourite quote of the episode: “Did everyone sever their balls in the elevator this morning?” 🤓

Please help us get to a thousand followers on Bluesky! Mostly because there are two Channel 4 accounts on here, this one which is the official one, and another one which is just some guy swearing at people and our boss keeps asking if we are running that one too.

My innie has long toiled in the sacred labours of Mammalian Nurturable, tending our branch with devotion. Our eldest kid, now nearing their 15th year, stands as testament to the passage of time and its trials. Praise Kier, who grants us the fortitude to persevere.

It was interesting to see Sam Altman’s response to all the hype around DeepSeek last night. I’m not sure it’s the right one.

The appropriate response to this isn’t to rush out new releases, it’s to go back in to R&D to see how you can leverage the DeepSeek learnings to super power what you can do with state-of-the-art chips and restablish the gap.

I was surprised this was Sam’s response as I’d hoped for something more responsible. I suspect it is driven by the USA vs. China rhetoric but misses some of the crucial points of why DeepSeek’s latest models are causing such a stir.

The hype is because they’re open source, cheap, and demonstrate you currently don’t need state-of-the-art chips to compete at the frontier. It’s this last point that matters - China can now compete with the US despite not having access to state-of-the-art chips.

‘Pulling up releases’ usually means shortcutting some important testing and deliberations on when/how to release a new capability.

If AI lives up to all the hype and truly delivers on democratising access to intelligence for all of humanity that’s something we don’t want to rush into just because of ‘competition’.

Yes, it’s great to have competition if that delivers a better user experience and cheaper prices for enterprise and consumers. But, with AI, if competition leads to ‘pulling up some releases’ this is going to lead us to the BAD PLACE.
