It's Aston Villa's moment again, finally. European trophy lifted, hearing that Prince William loves the coverage, then bumping into Ian Taylor(Only one😁) on the walk-and-talk - excuse the emotions getting the better of me. Analysis can wait; my raw feelings on a special night… 🙏 #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

Lots of love for John McGinn from the travelling Aston Villa fans in Lille as he went through his warm-down. He fell over at the end of one of his runs - joke or not, it must have scared a few! Villa secured another big European win on his return to the squad. #AVFC

Major changes at Villa Park in the next 24 months. Capacity drops to 37k with fans in three stands, before rising to 50k in 2027/28. Away allocation unchanged, but North Stand ST holders and waiting list affected. Club views it as short-term pain for long-term gain. #AVFC

Greetings from Istanbul, where I've just polished off some koftas and tomorrow Unai Emery becomes the first manager to take charge of 100 UEL matches. His Villa side can expect a cauldron of noise, with the Fenerbahce boss urging his team to play "with emotion." 🇹🇷 #AVFC

Aston Villa let themselves down on a night when they could've all but confirmed their UCL place. One touch in Spurs' box in the first half is woeful. Unai Emery's lack of animation and HT subs suggested this game was merely about turning up. Huge pressure now on next week. #AVFC

Unai Emery is the first manager to qualify Aston Villa for the European Cup/UCL in two different seasons. Absurd he's not a Manager of the Season contender - now Villa competing at the top is seen as standard. That's how good he is. Objective 1/2 complete. Turkey awaits. #AVFC

Some Aston Villa season ticket holders won't be at Villa Park on Saturday because they don't own a compatible device to access their ticket. A broader exemption criteria to the PL's digital ticketing must be established so loyal fans aren't excluded by tech barriers. #AVFC

Aston Villa are the first non-'big commercial six' club to qualify for UEFA competition via their league finish in three straight seasons for the first time since they did so in 07/08-09/10. That's Unai Emery's main target ticked off … now it's time to return to the UCL. #AVFC

Aston Villa would hit 67 points with 7/14 wins, which has been enough for top five in five of the last six seasons. The chasing pack will chase, but Villa's destiny is in their hands. Impressed by Luiz and Tammy, who can feel robbed of a goal today. Important month ahead… #AVFC

Strange leaving Villa Park after a defeat - only Villa's second PL loss here in 16 months - but it was a poor one against an equally depleted Everton. Frustrating that mistakes, after Garner should've seen red, cost Villa. Additions are being chased and needed quickly. #AVFC
