Good this @frankiemaguire.bsky.social I look at it like this, if this team with this manager were suddenly called Man Utd or Chelsea the pundits would have them down as title & CL challengers, without question.

Didn’t take long for Morgan Rogers to turn into a Billy Big Bollocks Cnut at Chelsea. Good player for us but with Manzambi and Alysson both already near or at his levels we’ll be fine without him. #AVFC

How has Cole Palmer not been sent off there? Basically shoved his hip bone into the face of a player on the ground, and with force. The level of officiating in the Premier League is terrible.

Madjo time. #AVFC

The estimated costs of shutting the North Stand is around £6m. It's being funded by a combined £150m in private placement loans (£90m+£60m). In theory, they can be repaid by the increased income from the revamped stadium. Explaining the build so far - free to read @theathleticfc.bsky.social

Flávio Bolsonaro: "Lula, can you explain why 73% of prisoners voted for you?" Lula: "I want 100% to vote. Even your father."

This referee is a shambles.

Get In!!! #AVFC

Why do BBC News break away from the important speech by Zelensky to hear from their own correspondent? I don’t need to hear your interpretation mate, I want to hear from the man himself, especially when Zelensky is still speaking! So frustrating.

So are the authorities going to let Man City tour the country like some sort of victory parade and batter teams? This season is going to be a farce.

Has anyone seen Pavel from Station Cars?

After listening to adult cry babies at work all day i’m catching up. Burnham’s speech was outstanding. Man City are fucked. 5 muppets on the rob managed to increase the terrorist threat level, whilst Trump has inadvertently blown a joint intelligence op and alerted the real baddies. Is that it?

I know it’s a cliche but we’re all expecting it. Man City found guilty of majority of 115 charges. Everton are fucked.

Sunday Supplement on Sky Sports is an absolute joke sometimes. I get that Spurs are the story, but to not even mention Villa in passing is hilarious. It’s just funny now, still, how little credit Emery and the club gets. Honestly, they can’t keep pissing off fans from 14 clubs in this way. #AVFC

Carnage in our house tonight, but #AVFC are up and running which makes life a whole lot easier. I’m very excited by what this squad can do this season. #UTV

Sam Coates is a pillock isn’t he?

Good grief. Sky sports AND Sky News properly going to town on the VAR controversy from Man Utd game on Sunday. “Football fans all over the country will feel it’s unforgivable.” Fuck off! Any other club and it would be “move on, it’ll even itself out or something.” The PL is very hard to like.

Just watching a bit of the Ultimate Championship, what do they have to make everything shit? The Hundred was the Enshittification of cricket, and this is the Hundredtificatiom of athletics.

This thread is a joy to read.

“It’s all in the goose fat!’ - Danny Tommo takes a break from legitimate protesting to share his secret to the perfect Sunday Lunch.

There’s lots of hype on Sky about tomorrow’s Manchester derby, and I can see why it’s a big game. But compared to the other proper spiteful derbys coming up it doesn’t come close. Kick off times alone tells you all need to know. There’s no way Villa v Blues would kick off at 4:30pm.

Shove it up yer bollocks Villa

Look at his little face! A moment he’s dreamt of since he was a boy. #AVFC

That’s pre season done. Looking forward to the start of the season at Hull next Saturday. 11 wins in a row incoming. #UTV #AVFC

Play like this, with still half a team missing against anyone else in the league, it’s a win. #AVFC

I gave a very loud and involuntary “FUCK OFF!” When that pray have that penalty. Not even a foul let some in the box. #AVFC

It’s a cat.

Aston Villa’s transfer window. #AVFC

Is it me or are Villa far more noisy this transfer window? I don’t mean the high profile outgoings, but the rumours, the bids, the enquiries, the deals breaking down etc. We’re usually quieter about it all. I don’t like it, it creates a sense of chaos but is probably normal. #AVFC

Is this bad?

Another problem when #AVFC are in temporary flux is that we have Jay Bothroyd level pundits on Sky & TalkSport speak with absolute authority but with admirable confidence. You can’t say “blah blah PSR” in one breath and then “it smacks of a lack of ambition” in the next. Does my bonce in.

Week off, just relax and watch sky sports news for a bit and see this shit. As informed as you’d expect from the ex Spurs substitute. “You ain’t doing well with the team they put out” We know you melon, injuries and still players to come in you pratt. I’m going back to work. Morons #avfc

Took only 18 minutes for the new season for the sky remote to fly across the room and the cats to scarper. #AVFC

If was prime minister I’d hide in the bushes at a golf course and wait for the back swing of the most serious looking bloke I could find. Then I’d press the button.

There is so much going on here. It’s a performative arts piece.
