Enjoy your week!

As we’re approaching the World Cup, this is a reminder that the greatest World Cup song was released in 1990 by New Order.

He wrote it down, looked himself in the mirror and the rest is history. 21 goals. 26 goal contributions. European trophy to his name World Cup squad 2026. If you can’t tell already today, I appreciate Ollie Watkins. #AVFC

That puts the bow on Aston Villa's finest season in decades - certainly the best in my 26 years. Since the start of April across Europe's big-five leagues, only Ollie Watkins and Harry Kane have scored 10 goals in all comps. Your 56th walk-and-talk of the season… 💜 #AVFC

I fucking adore Ollie Watkins

I don’t care if you disagree, but this fella needs to stay with us for the rest of his career. 21 goals in his ‘worst’ season. Contract extension until 2030 please Villa xx

Wore my Villa shirt around London & was blown away by how many non-Villa fans came up to say they were happy AVFC won the Europa League. The euphoria of this week refuses to wear off. After all the years of frustration & near misses, this is an amazing feeling. #avfc 🟣🔵

Usually when a team goes far in the Europa League, League form suffers. #AVFC win the thing and finish 4th, after the lowest net spend in the league back in the summer. Unai Emery- pound for pound the best manager in the League and the manager of the season.

In 2018 NSWE took over my football club when we were in deep deep trouble, that day they said we would be restored back to the top of European echelons. It was a dream back then, now it’s a reality year in year out! Thank you NSWE #avfc #utv 💜💜

With #RiseoftheVillans nominated for @sportsbookaward Football Book of the Year, the #AVFC qualification for the Champions League and the final in Istanbul in few days, it would be a shame if you have not read the book yet to understand even deeply why one of the top three managers in the Premier League (let’s ignore the unfair PL Manager of the Season nominations) does what he does so well (Unashamed plug for something that I am very proud of — and unashamed praise for a man, a methodology, and a group of club people I fully admire. I am so happy about their success.) @UnaiEmery_ @DV1874 📚 amazon.co.uk/Rise-Villans-In…

Emery: "I am so, so happy and so, so proud of Aston Villa players, Aston Villa workers, Aston Villa supporters and, Aston Villa journalists." Thank you, Unai. #AVFC

Well that was absolutely delightful from #AVFC. What an unbelievable achievement to get back into the Champions League with everything stacked up against us. Unai Emery is the master. I can’t explain the esteem in which I hold him in. Part 2 on Wednesday 🤞🏻

Speechless McGinn has been on fire recently 🔥🤩 Liverpool are stunned.

Aston Villa Football Club would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to those supporters, former players and staff who we have sadly lost over the past year. Our Holte Enders in the Sky 💜

Just let that sink in

I know Villa listen to supporters generally after a few years of a strained relationship as the club grows and evolves into a fit for purpose 21st century club. So I'd hope that the club would consider opening Villa Park, big screen, music and celebrate the club on the day of the Final. Get a couple of local bands, a rousing MC, charge £10 with a free drink or two, and make Villans who can't go to Istanbul feel involved. It's their day too. Aged 11 i wouldn't have been able to afford to go to Rotterdam but I could have gone to VP and been very excited indeed. Lots of families who already go to games and are financially stretched deserve to feel the magic, and those kids are the future of our club. Some fireworks, music, pop and crisps for a quid, a beer for the same and all of a sudden we make the most important people at our club who can't go to Istanbul, feel a part of the pride. Hope @AVFCOfficial gives it a little thought, I'm seeing a huge appetite for it on here.

It will not cost you anything to retweet. We believed and happened. See you all in Istanbul.

One of the best nights ever at Villa Park. So proud of this video 💜 UTV #AVFC

Before I get into how incredible that night was. In the commotion and sorting flights, I’ve walked out of VPwithout my lucky scarf. Brought it tonight especially. If anyone found a scarf in L5, FF, seat 128. I’d greatly appreciate it, claret and blue stripes & a shamrock badge
