Didn't watch the game out with my mates but watched the highlights when I got back. We should of been out of sight, but oh well that's top5 more or less done now. 1 more win will be enough UTV

We never do things easy, very bad for blokes my age. Haha. Ginny was unbelievable today, get out ball to him brilliant, his first touch and lay offs superb. Sadly Sancho couldn’t do the same, there again, in his favour he hadn’t been on long. Ollie certainly back on it, his running and holdup play, was back to the old Ollie, he has to be on that World Cup plane.
The whole team played well, great team performance, until that mad 5mins, what a save by Martinez towards the end. So glad for Tammy and so relieved as well, we had played to well to lose it. At least we are keeping that gap, we so have to keep it going.
On now to Fulham, play like we did, except for that mad 5mins, and we would give anybody a game. UTV.

My word that was nearly a disaster, should of being 5-1 up and out of sight, 5 mins of losing focus could almost destroy a season. Emery will be furious.
What a goal to win it though, unbelievable ball from Digne and very clever finish.
Great performance for most parts but we have to be more clinical and put teams away, I don’t want to be too negative. It was a must win in my book and we got the 3 points so happy days. My nerves though 🤦♂️

Whack, you get to an age where games like that are seriously bad for your health. Haha. Honestly, thought we had thrown it away, but what an unbelievable save by Martinez. He can pull them out the bag when needed. UTV.

I think that might be the best, worst, craziest game I’ve ever witnessed at Villa Park.
3-1 up, cruising, absolutely cruising. 4 minutes left. In the blink of an eye, game gone.
Sunderland could and should have won it!!
We should have had it wrapped up in the second half long before that.
Cannot believe we won that in the end.
So pleased for Tammy. That should do wonders for him.
Oh my days.
I’ve got a 2 hour drive but I’m in no fit state to get behind the wheel yet.
Up The Villa!!

Hi Trinity, I remember a worse one, not sure what year. Half-time 3-0 to the Villa, and full-time it was 4-3 to Hull City. Age has got the better of my memory, but I still remember that game.
20 Apr 2026 09:45:10
I do remember us being 4-1 up against Leicester with 13 minutes left, and Mark Draper turned the game around and ended up drawing 4-4.
Off the back of that, we signed Draper that summer.
20 Apr 2026 09:56:19
I don't recall the game you mentioned. Are you sure it was Hull?
20 Apr 2026 16:09:57
Hi Trinity, I think it was, but I must admit with age it might not have been. I worked on the turnstiles at the time, and the Witton End was still there, so a long time ago, and when you get to 73, it's hard to remember to open your flies when you want a pee.
I do remember that I got off the stiles just after half-time. We were 3 up, but at 90 minutes it was 4-3 and a loss.
Apologies if it wasn't Hull.
19 Apr 2026 13:01:06
Mings starts!
I'm a bit surprised if I'm honest. Didn't think I'd see him start another game for the rest of the season, or ever again.
When was the last time he played?
Just hope he's switched on from the start and does the simple stuff effectively.
I'm not his biggest fan but let's see.
How does Bailey get in the squad ahead of Elliott?
A draw would not be the worst result in the world, Sunderland are dangerous.
19 Apr 2026 14:02:18
It's a must win for me, got to show we can step up and take advantage of Chelsea slip ups, Champions League next season will be tougher than the last time we were in it.

Watching the game on TV again this morning and the first goal reminded me of the goal we scored many years ago against Sheffield Wednesday in 92/93 season (younger fans check it out online).
Might be wrong but think that was only 10 passes but still a great goal.
Showing my age now. 👴🏻
17 Apr 2026 08:47:37
I feel for Tammy Abraham. He only comes on when the game is done and the better players have been subbed off. Obviously you wouldn’t pick him ahead of Watkins at the moment but maybe his presence on the bench is a factor in Watkins improved form recently?
He’s desperate to have an impact (so desperate in fact he tried claimed an assist for Konsa’s goal).
2nd half was a Bodymoor Heath training session, in fact it probably wasn’t as tough.
UTV!

Trinity, I also feel for Tammy. He was never going to be our striking option. I think he was a wake-up call for Watkins, and it looks like it has worked. I think it is an absolute disgrace the way Harvey Elliott has been treated. He may be a victim of who controls the purchases; however, if it was Unai Emery, then it is even more disgraceful the way he has been treated. Of course, most of us respect Unai; however, on this occasion, there are, in my opinion, no mitigating circumstances that could make the way Elliott has been treated acceptable.
The poor kid has never been given a chance. Many of us saw him in the Under 21 winning team, and he was one of the very best and showed his quality. He is showing his class by keeping quiet about his treatment. I just hope he goes on to show Emery how wrong he was.
19 Apr 2026 10:44:32
Dave, we were talking about Elliott last night, I agree, the kid must be wondering what's happened. But if we can get to the final, and especially if we win it, at least he will have something to show for it. UTV

Got home very late last night, hellish journey but it was worth it.
All round great performance. Almost from the kick off, you could see the Bologna plan and, obviously, they had to go for it, but as soon as we scored that 1st goal the tie was done.
Great to see Watkins playing well and scoring and Rogers (forget the pen miss).
Bologna were poor defensively and Cash kept Rowe quiet for the 90 minutes.
Thought it was a bit strange that there was literally no injury time in the 2nd half, especially as their defender was injured and the number of subs.
Do the officials agree with the managers to finish it if there’s clearly no chance of a change in result?
The Europa League is not the competition that the UEFA Cup was. That’s down to clubs finishing 2nd, 3rd, 4th even 5th qualifying for Champions League where previously they’d be in the UEFA Cup.
Remember us playing Barcelona in quarter final in 1978!!
I don’t care though. If we can win it, I will celebrate like I haven’t for 30 years of hurt.
UTV!!

Comfortable win tonight, we were good from start to finish. Cash controlled Rowe much better, although I did think Rowe looked lively and I wouldn’t be too disappointed if he ended up in our ranks next season.
Couple of points: Please can we sign someone who can take a penalty? Good job we haven’t had many (any?) spot kicks this season. Secondly, it’s nice to see Spanish referees are as poor as Premier League ones.
16 Apr 2026 22:33:24
What a win, if Barca, PSG had scored that first goal, Sky wouldn't stop showing it, a thing of beauty. Ollie certainly looking back on it, his hold up play was brilliant. We certainly have to find a penalty taker, I don't honestly think anybody watching fancied Rogers to get that one. Got to give it him, he made up for it with his goal, Buendia also took his well. The shocker was Konsa, his turn for his goal was unbelievable, 2in 2 now, can't stop scoring.
That first half start, knocked the stuffing out of them I think, can't believe how easy it was. Shout out to Cash as well, all over Rowe never gave him no room tonight. Been told it's another record for Villa, first British team, to win Nine games in that league.
Now on to Sunday, got to keep that going UTV
16 Apr 2026 22:20:06

16 Apr 2026 22:37:42
Really good performance tonight. First goal was crucial, delighted Roger's got a goal after missing the penalty. 4 brilliant goals, Watkins' goal was a cracking move, with every player involved at their very best. I was worried about the yellow cards, but it was a very professional performance, total control, start to finish.
We have all been critical of players and manager performance since Christmas, but tonight looked like an Emery master class, carried out perfectly by a well drilled team. Fair play to everyone.
That's what we know they can do, and exactly why we get so frustrated at times.
UTV. 💪
16 Apr 2026 22:38:35
Needs to win it 1st daz, then il eat humble pie haha.
16 Apr 2026 22:48:40
Jonny, some of us will have to eat humble pie, but you, my friend, will have to eat humble soup, humble roast beef and humble pie for dessert. 🤣🤣
16 Apr 2026 23:20:27
I know, Whack. I will aswell, fingers crossed we win it, but not thinking that far ahead yet, we need to clinch top5 first.
17 Apr 2026 10:48:28
Really impressed with the lads on yellows. None got involved with things that could have caused a problem. Unai must have drilled that into them beforehand.
