It's took an awful lot of hard work and planning, but The Railway Football Tournament 2024 is today.
The Wayne McNamara Memorial Cup and Trophy will have new homes at 15:45 today.
We have teams travelling from all over the country, so safe journies to all, and good luck!
I've just worked three 60 hr weeks, 70 with the commute.
I've a newborn and a 2 yr old, sleep at the moment is 😑
My alarm goes off at 04:45, I get home at 18:30.
On Wed I play football after getting the kids ready for bed.
These footballers man, don't know they're born. 😖🤦🏼♂️
🚨 Van Dijk: “In England we believe the schedules are too busy. The players are getting paid well but it should never come at the cost of our health”.
“We keep having to play more and more games. We as players should start saying something about it, contribute to a solution”.
Good deed of the day done 👍🏻
Came out of Tesco today and there was a woman crying her eyes out. Turns out she’s lost her holiday money.
I gave her £100 as I felt bad for her.
Don’t normally do stuff like this but I just found £1000 in the car park .
I don't watch women's football as I think it's awful.
However, does diversity and inclusion only work one way? You really couldn't make it up.
... And god knows how Eni Aluko has kept her job, with how she has been this week. 🤯
Tottenham got a bye due to Leyton Orient being unable to field a side due to COVID.
Last season
#AVFC
fielded an U18’s side against Liverpool due to COVID.
Today Liverpool got the fixtures postponed because of a COVID outbreak.
Get in the bin! 🗑
Absolutely disgusting! 😡
4th in the Premier League and the semi final of a European trophy, and all with a threadbare squad.
Even if the wheels come off now, it's been a remarkable season.
Unai Emery is a footballing genius, let's hope he stays at our club for a very long time.
#AVFC
Leeds scrape past Fulham and Sheff Utd and the pundits and press start talking like Bielsa is the messiah and Leeds could break into the top 4.
We breeze past them both, scoring 4 and keeping 2 clean sheets and it’s Fulham were rubbish.
Get in the bin!

Aston Villa qualify for the Champions League.
Small Heath get relegated to the 3rd division.
Carlsberg don't make seasons...
... Because they don't fucking need to!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Watford lose to West Ham and Man City.
Bournemouth lose to Southampton.
We draw with Arsenal.
We beat West Ham.
Watford lose to Arsenal.
We stay up.

If Leeds win, Villa qualify for Europe.
If Leeds don't win, they get relegated, and Villa could still qualify for Europe.
What a time to be alive!
🤣🤣🤣
#AVFC
I remember the day my Dad first took me to Villa Park like it was yesterday.
I never thought I'd see the day we qualified for the Champions League.
We did not choose, we were chosen.
Up the fucking Villa!!!
💜💙💜💙
Absolutely fuming about that tonight.
Another year and another wasted opportunity.
10 Prem sides are out, including Man City, and 4 games to Wembley.
It's infuriating every year.
When will we learn!?
Aston Villa’s last home attendance;
41,336
Small Heath’s last home attendance;

[Difference of 21,541]
One clubs fans claim they are the best.

There are levels. Know your place.

Absolutely spot on, we lost Heaton, Mings, McGinn, Grealish and Wesley last season and hardly anything was mentioned.
If they don’t win the title, it’s because they’ve not been good enough, simple as that!

Are they using injuries as an excuse? 👇
#BBC606
I am getting sick to death of some fans on this platform, moaning about the club.
I've suppprted Villa my whole life, and in those 30 plus years, I think you'll most agree that there's been far more downs than ups.
In most recent times, before our great owners NSWE, we saw our
A special mention for Trezeguet so far this season. I had my doubts, but his work rate is fantastic.
Traore will have to wait for his opportunity.
#AVFC
Just over 6 weeks ago the club were struggling to pay a TAX bill, on the verge of losing our best players and were under a transfer embargo. Today we sit 4th in the Championship unbeaten and have just signed Bolasie... Let’s puts things in to perspective. Up The Villa!

And this is one of the many reasons I will not be voting Labour in the next GE.
Honestly have no idea who I'm going to vote for. 😑
Absolutely disgusted hearing our fans cheer when Hourihane was brought off.
Yes he has been poor for a while now but to cheer a player being subbed is shocking. No wonder some of our players confidence is shot!
#AVFC
I can't believe how many fans I'm seeing that would be happy for us to let Martinez go. 🤯
He is the best keeper we've had a the club since Bosnich.
We should be keeping our best players and building the squad around them.

@HLTCO
Tbf Chris Evans announced this on the radio the week that he'd auctioned it off.
The guy who won the auction, said he just wanted to donate the cash to the NHS and because the shirt had sentimental value to Matt, he wanted to let him keep him.
We not only beat Spurs today, we outplayed them and are now within touching distance of Europe.
All of MOTD's analysis was about Spurs being offside?
You couldn't make it up. 🤦🏼♂️
#AVFC
The majority of my pals are
#BCFC
fans and I can assure you the likes of Paul Mitchell and Alfie Perkins do not represent them in the slightest.
All clubs have idiot fans and very few of there supporters condone either of the mentioned people above
#AVFC
Until the negativity from fans on here and groans every time one of our players makes a wayward pass in the ground stops, we will never progress.
Negativity spreads negativity, we are one of many issues with our club, games are won both on and off the pitch. Stop moaning!
#AVFC
We beat Palace and Everton.
Watford lose to West Ham and Man City.
We lose to Arsenal.
Last game of the season...
We beat West Ham.
Watford lose to Arsenal.
We stay up.

If Bruce stays support him. If Henry comes support him.
FFS we couldn’t pay a tax bill last month, now we have the 3rd richest owners in English football who might have a difference approach and people are whinging.
I’m sure our fans would moan about literally anything!!!

"It's not the dog, it's the owner"...
Why is the majority of attacks/deaths in the UK these kind of dog then?
Of course, you'll get the odd occasion where it isn't, but the numbers speak for themselves.
Sick of seeing fans talking about Amavi, Veretout and Ayew.
Worst performing
#AVFC
side of my life and couldn’t give a toss about the club, sod them I say!
Then those same fans give stick to Whelan, Hourihane and Adomah who give everything when wearing our shirt. 🤦🏼♂️
Seeing some overreaction on here, worse performance under Emery for me, but we have lost once in 11 games, are 3rd and 3 points off top.
Currently really missing Torres, Kamara and Tielemans, let's not get carried away.
#AVFC
I’m going to make a prediction here that many won’t agree with.
I think that comeback against Sheff Utd will kick start our season and we will now make the playoffs.

As they seem to be trying to get the excuses in early by saying how much we have spent.
#AVFC
net spend since we arrived in the Championship:
£13,905,580
Small Heath net spend since we arrived in the Championship:
£22,415,229

I can’t stand Souness more than the next man (also just a phrase)… But what he said is just that, a phrase, whilst talking about the men’s game.
It’s nothing against women’s football! 🤦🏼♂️
Grealish’s new
#avfc
contract contains a big pay rise and a crucially - a BIGGER buy out clause than his previous deal. Could mean Grealish Enda his career at Villa. Legendary status guaranteed.
