As the #Knicks rallied with a game-winning 2-pointer, NYers held their number 1! At the final whistle & for the next 7 mins, NYC saw a water‑use spike equal to 368,697 🚽 flushes! As the Knicks surged, we fought the urge… because we knew the team was on the verge… OF HISTORY!

Call me a weird twat, but I’d much rather see England win the World Cup than any kind of club success. I’d love to experience the joy of a whole country celebrating rather than just my own club’s fanbase.

Met a guy recently named Jonathan who goes by Nathan. I didn’t even know you could do that

Being a dad is realizing your dad didnt actually give a shit about your bedtime he just wanted you to go to bed so he could do other things.

This new European trophy system is just so dumb English teams are gonna win both of them every year cos they’re so ridiculously easy now Conference shouldn’t exist and Europa league should return to having CL teams fall into it

Look at what that first goal in Istanbul meant to you, Villans 🥹

Aston Villa Football Club is today announcing an accelerated timeline for the major North Stand redevelopment at Villa Park.

LIV Golf is on the brink. Saudi backers PIF, who have squandered billions on the project, close to withdrawing. Exec team members looking for new jobs. LIV and Saudi PIF not responded to requests for comments since early Tuesday evening. nytimes.com/athletic/7197088…

So I went through the Villa (#avfc) end of year report and, here's my take on it. Record revenue of £378.1m — that's a 37% rise, up over £100m from last year. Highest turnover the club's ever seen, driven hard by the UCL run to the quarter finals plus commercial income exploding 69%> to £70m. Sponsorship alone up 31% to £28.6m. The commercial machine under Heck is chugging along as he intended. Especially from a £89.5m loss the year before, they've swung to a £17m profit after tax. The owners pumped £69.3m into capex — stadium hospitality upgrades, new retail spots, fan experience tweaks, Bodymoor Heath improvements, and getting The Warehouse over the line. North Stand redevelopment prep is now underway. Which can only be referred to as a smart money play going into infrastructure. They've done the internal restructuring play (women's team and Warehouse rights shifted within the NSWE group) — same loophole others have used because the Premier League left the door wide open after Chelsea and City. Like I said earlier "There should be no complaints here; if you want to compete, you use what's available until they close it." PSR-wise, this profit gives real breathing room in the rolling three-year calc. Previous years had heavy losses, but this £17m black number changes the picture. Villa stay fully compliant with the EPL rules. That means no more panic-selling your best players every summer just to balance the books. What this means for Villa's transfer spending next season? This creates proper legroom. You're talking potential net spend in the £30-80m range (before any sales *agreed or obligated* and exact rolling figures), assuming commercial keeps growing. Europa League means some UEFA income drop-off, but the commercial base is now more permanent and the stadium upgrades will keep feeding revenue. Less reliance on one big European run. NSWE have stuck to the plan: sustainable growth, invest in squad and the club itself, avoid the reckless overspend that kills clubs. They've already sunk hundreds of millions in — this shows the strategy is working. Bottom line: These are strong accounts. Villa have turned a corner financially. Record top line, first profit in ages, heavy but targeted investment in the future, and actual PSR flexibility heading into the next windows. No more "we must flog Watkins or Rogers" nonsense every close season. The club is in a far healthier spot than 12-18 months ago.

Bologna are 11 games unbeaten in the #UEL 😳
