Seeing as everyone is talking about Dowman. Wasn’t a great tackle and I do think those kind of tackles are becoming a bit of a problem. Red for Dowman was a bit harsh. Was petulant but not dangerous. But tired of hearing ‘he’s 16’. Rubbish. Don’t pick him then!

Something that blows my mind: If you somehow hear the offbeat as the “one,” in place of the downbeat, it is almost impossible to get your brain back on the right track This tweet brought to you by the opening track from Picture’s Yyyyyyyyy npmlabel.bandcamp.com/album/…

so there’s this most important album of the 2020s…
Happy 3rd anniversary of the release of the album of my life Suntub. Self-produced by ML Buch herself over a period of more than five years in unconventional, rural locations in Denmark, the album is considered a musical classic and a true work of art🌾❤️

We need more keepers with this distribution to break the man-to-man pressing meta.

Article and class coming on Unai Emery and his tactics against Man City at the weekend. Strong principles with fine tactical details. Cash can prepare to jump onto Doku as McGinn covers the half-space pass. This also allows Alysson to remain high. Releasing this today...

Biggest award in football and in his first interview he’s mentioned Villa more times than United have nominees Yet there’s some people who think he should move there 😭😭

Thing is going to run & run until they appoint someone, just got to accept it. Couple of things I take issue with. United are as far away - probably further - than winning the CL than Villa. He’s never working under a Wilcox, or even a Ratcliffe. Why does no one get that?
Could Unai Emery be the answer to Manchester United’s struggles? Jamie Carragher believes he’s the best manager in the Premier League! 💪

Carragher is a pundit (& I like his tactical stuff on MNF)…. If he’s going to talk about Manchester United, or Unai Emery, or Aston Villa, it’s his literal job to know what he’s talking about. Hurts no one to be a little bit informed.

Wonder how many more weeks I can just repost this for….
I’ll say this again and again. United are a squad built for several different managers, and therefore there isn’t a single XI that you can put on the pitch who suit a particular style of play. Pressing and high-line, counter attacking, possession. It’s all a problem tor someone

Fine album is obviously amazing. But want to give Michael J. Blood his props. Stuff rarely on streaming but this one is. One of the best, if not the best, around for me in his field.
4 for today: • Fine - Jazz Dreams • The Olivia Tremor Control - The Same Place • Porcelain - Today's Minor Victories • Michael J. Blood - Cause & Effect Vol. 1

Just a reminder that #avfc haven’t had a PL penalty since John Major was prime minister.
Penalty or no penalty? 🧐

More commentators who’ve never watched football. MacPhee left 3/4 forward for defensive corners loads at Villa.

Big credit to Aston Villa who continue to unearth gems for relatively cheap (€10m-15m) like Rogers, Madjo and Alysson. They are there if you look and the Manager is involved in the process. Understanding the profiles worth gambling on (usually physical/carriers) is key.
🚨🎙️ Johan Lange on #THFC’s summer spending; 💰 “After all, these are the same amounts that competitors pay. All clubs’ scouting networks are so good these days that finding a player that others have overlooked, in a league that no one has heard of, for a tenth of the price – that race is over. ❌ It certainly raises expectations (the money spent), but it’s not because I think about it every day. I think all clubs think it’s hard to find good players. ✍️ For people who aren’t into football, it might sound completely insane that there aren’t a lot of players to choose from when you have £80m. But how many players have the quality to justify such an investment? For every player you buy, you might have three or five clubs you talk to. If we need a right winger, we might be talking about five different players, five clubs, five agents. That’s a lot of balls to keep in the air at the same time.” 🤷‍♂️ @Sport_Witness

How much did that City midfield two cost by the way? About half as good today as our free transfer. Bouba is back! #avfc
