4 mates have driven 1,374 miles from Birmingham to Bosnia in their camper van for the game away at Zrinjski tonight in the Europa Conference.
It’s taken them 2 full days to drive there and will take the same to get home. That’s some level of dedication, well done lads! 👏

Blues have joined forces with
@UB40OFFICIAL
to officially launch the Club’s naming rights partnership, St. Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park, on Monday 1 April.
The concert, in partnership with
@greatesthitsuk
, is part of an ‘Easter Day Double Header’ with the match versus Preston. 🙌
Can see why Grealish left his boyhood club for nights like this...
Imagine having a pitch side view for 90 mins of a famous 4-3 win v Real Madrid
What dreams are made of 😍😍🔥🤣
Stop trying to discredit Newcastle by throwing around the oil money line.
We have spent waaaaay more than them, they’re just better than us because they hired the right manager and backed him.
I think some of you may have missed this as I haven't seen enough people celebrating it
We have just finished at least 5th
5th!!!
7th last year, 14th before that and so on
Our highest finish since 96/97 and we can still improve on that
What. A. Season.
What a season
After being battered by Newcastle 5-1 and losing Emi and Mings early doors I thought it was going to be an horrendous season
It's April 18th and we are sat 4th by 3 points and in the semi of a European competition
It is fucking unbelievable
I will no longer be taking the opinion of anyone else about Tyrone Mings - when the greatest defender to wear claret & blue says Mings is good enough, the case is closed.
hush your mouths.
Tyrone Mings Is good enough for Aston Villa, in my opinion he ticks all the right boxes, so how do you lose the Armband and your place in seconds . You don’t, so who said what to who, No one cares get him in the team. Respect. ☘️👍🏼. UTV.
Bournemouth didn’t have better players than us. They had better coaching and tactics and played a way that not only suited them but rattled us.
The difference isn’t the players, it’s the manager, coaches and tactics
I’ll die on this hill, but Gerrard is not a good manager.
Even with the official stat of Mings being at fault for the most goals over the last few seasons, it's only 4 goals. Over 3 seasons.
Put that next to the amount of blocks, goal line blocks, challenges & headers he makes and I'm absolutely ok with those mistakes
King Mings 👑
I hate being right but i said when we sacked Smith for Gerrard it wasnt right. I remember all of you that told me I was wrong. You dont sack a bloke who did what he did for us and replace him with a rookie. Purslow has fucked up and he needs to be sacked along with Gerrard.
Unfortunately for AVFC to get better under Gerrard the following needs to happen.
Change to 4231
Drop McGinn
Drop Coutinho
Drop Ings
Play Luiz next to Kamara
Play Bailey Buendia and Ramsey as the 3 behind the striker
He won’t do any of this so he just has to go.
I don’t think Percy drops that article without being given some kinda nod from inside the club.
He called out
- Coutinho as a vanity project
- team selection as reactionary with him having no clue on best team/tactics
- Mings/McGinn decision
Time is ticking now I think
Asensio
A, Does he join PSG and be in the same position he's in now at Real
Or
B, Join Villa, play week in week out under a manager who will improve him
If he chooses A, then we don't want a player with that mentality anyway imo
It’s weird how “Mings makes a mistake every week”… yet statistically he’s rated our best defender this season.. and most seasons.
I think some people have a weird agenda against him and I can’t work out why.
I mean I was saying this every time I took to bat to stick up for Mings.
It was clear as day that he was doing too much to cover others and left himself exposed
Me and Emery 🤝
Right, no Gerrard bashing today. I WANT this guy to succeed. Today is a free hit but we have to see shape, we have to see a plan. Do that and then we need to have a real go against Leicester and Southampton and then the fans will be behind him.
UTV
The pass out from Young to Kamara hasn’t been hyped up enough. It just doesn’t happen if thats Cash or anyone else for that matter. It was sublime and calm, then Kamaras touch, drive and then pass for Bailey… just an incredible goal
Anyone else feel bad for this man? Signed a new contract in hope he’d get more game time and then Konsa is out so we stick in a new guy? Chambers was OK Sunday but Hause has always looked great when he’s came in
#AVFC
Thanks to all those Blues fans who live with a B postcode.
your council tax going towards improving the transport to Villa park for all of us that live outside of Brum.
appreciate you 👍😅
@andy4wm
Great to see you pushing for new ownership at Birmingham City FC Andy? Or even trying to acknowledge the ownership issues? Council bias still for the Villa though ay?
@jordstrangeAVFC
@gazswain
Come back to me in a 6-8 weeks and let’s see if you’re still winning. Your performances mean current results are unsustainable in the long run.
You’ll see.
I like that UTD have now lost twice since
@rioferdy5
was disrespectful towards Emery.
Giving it large cus they beat Villa 1-0 then go on to lose to Brighton and West Ham 😂😂👌
Sit down Ten Haag, know your place.
Imagine we hadn't wasted a season and a quarter under that Scouse prick. For Emery to do this with these players when we kept getting told we needed a moment of magic to win a game..
We'd be in Europe this season under Emery
@melissamc__
No you do still have it, you just unwittingly spread it around to someone who actually could die from it because of other vulnerabilities, but selfish people gonna be selfish I suppose 🤷🏻♂️
Many will be gutted we haven't won but coming back to snatch a draw is what teams that win things, do.
We should have had a pen, Bailey's goal should have stood but we never give up
He's long gone now and I should move on but I just can't help but hope that Gerrard is sat there fucking embarrassed as every week rolls on and we win and move up the league. Shit cunt
Look, I didn’t want Smith to get sacked but understand the reasons why. I didn’t think Gerrard deserved the job and still don’t. He’s not good enough and lost his best asset with Beale.
I’ve seen nothing over his time here so far to suggest he will be good enough
Any journalist with bollocks gonna ask Purslow about his statement when Smith was sacked and why the same principles and thoughts are not the same now?
@TyroneMings
@jmcginn7
Whether this spells the start of the end for you at AVFC or not, I’m happy and proud you have been with us and done for us what you have on and off the pitch. You’re a class guy and I think deserve so much more respect than you get from some. UTV 🤙
The Port of London Authority have got in touch with Aston Villa and requested we don't rattle London clubs so much
The water levels of The Thames has dangerously risen from all of the salty tears over the last 6 weeks 😭
Saved us from going bust.
Cleared all the debt.
Consistently throw money into the club.
Improved the youth set up.
Plans to improve Villa park.
Have NSWE done enough to warrant respect from the fans? Yes.
Have they done enough to push for Europe? Nope absolutely not. 😬
Yet some divs on here still can’t admit that Gerrard was fucking dreadful and they still want to blame the players.
Look what they can do when coached.
Incredible turn around. Up the Unai.
I’m embarrassed by how we gloated when NSWE took over, when we got promoted and how we goaded when we took Gerrard from Rangers. We need to be humble and realise our position. Just about staying up each season is where we are at. Top 8 consistently is miles off.
Gerrard only won 3 from 10 home games
Absolutely not having that he needs time or his own players, these players have the ability to do better because they have before, they need to be used correctly in the right formation and tactics.
6 points from 6
Against a team we never beat at home and a team that has lost 0 games from the last 20 when being ahead…
Mad what a good COACH can do, innit?
It’s was all the players fault though 😮💨
Yellow is a good song for Jack
The coward.
Leaving "his club" for the easy route
At least McGinn can say he dug in and took us back to Europe for the first time in absolute years
Just watched the game back
That ref 🤬🤬🤬
Why did he stop an advantage for us to just talk to the player and not even book him?
Definitely a pen on Bailey too
Fucking FEWMIN M8
Everyone keeps waiting for Villa to fall off.. (most of us included too I guess) because we are in Europe and the games are coming fast and we will get injuries etc..
Villa don't play high intensity football
We play slow, considered, detailed football. We rest on the ball
@FLOTFW
@CitizenFreePres
Im sat next to my woman right now while you’re all over the internet sticking up for a freak who don’t give a fuck about you. 😂😂😂
I see Blues fans are embarrassing themselves again
Fully grown adults, some are married and fathers.. talking about football violence like it's something to be proud of?
Weird fuckers.
This is a guy who took the piss out of Villa when we were in a relegation fight and has since continued to brag about it..
And now he's calling out a pro like Ronaldo for "not caring"
Haha unreal
😳 “The biggest disappointment if I was a
