Geography. Falklands isnt in Europe or North America so article 5 cannot be invoked

Peskov saying they have intel (apparently a Liz Truss text to Blinken) that it was the British Navy that did the Nordstream pipes and that we can expect some kind of response..

Here he is

Annoyingly, after another £300m spend and actually employing a decent manager, they look better than the last few seasons. Groundhog day. 1-0 Villa HT 1-2 Utd FT

Below Leeds. We’ve had a dreadful season but like most seasons it shows just how bad you have to be to go down when you see us outside the relegation places still.

At least results from teams down there with us werent too bad

4-0 win to 4-0 loss with zero shots in a game Unai perfect chance to gain the momentum back at home next week. Villa Park will be well up for it lets hope for happy baptism of fire

Bournemouth having a great season. At least it wasnt just us getting embarrassed there

Watkins so frustrating

0 shots Danks out

Emi king shithouse and the jawdies know it too

Good run Emi Come on Villa

AVFC twitter going on a mad positive propaganda vibe since he who was sacked and i love it

Good team no complaints we have to see how they contain a side away from home now

Its noticeable how there’s been a seismic shift in the arrogance of their fans since the takeover. It would be really satisfying to burst their bubble today, just hearing a geordie accent say “miggy” this “miggy” that is enough to annoy me lol. Their manager is also morphing into a hamster right infront of our eyes.

Mick Beale is a bigger bum than Gerrard if he bottles it to these

Can start by working together to get Russia out of Ukraine

Its just great to see that we will now utilise this squad properly now. Having a strong bench and using it properly can maximise output on the pitch, like its supposed to do. Gerrard was the one advocating the change to 5 subs last season but was clueless in actually using it to his advantage. Straight away changing that midfield, Danks could call upon fresh legs of the likes of McGinn & Ramsey who have good engines anyway. Its just common sense, keeps everyone involved, no freezing out of players, maintains harmony. Really hope we dont revert to type and throw in another stinker here; important to stay in the game early doors and grow into it against the backdrop of their crowd who will obviously be well up for it. Even if we lose, but play really well ill be happy, just need to see that wasnt a one off last week. The players know they have Emery watching on so that should bode well.

Yeah, get the feeling this is as sure-thing as we’re ever likely to have. Its an incredible appointment and the perfect fit for this squad. I know we always find ways to mess things up but I dont see it with someone as meticulous as Emery. We need Villa Park to be bouncing every other week now, we can create a very special chapter in our history over the next few years. We finally have a top coach through the door. We’ve spent a lot on this squad, feels like this is the part of the jigsaw thats always been missing.

great news. Really impressed with what we’ve seen of him so far. Probably the best thing to come out of Gerrard era/malaise. From Dougie’s new deal to Gerrard finally getting the axe, to Bouba being back ahead of schedule to appointing Emery; a desperate situation beginning to look up again.

First game will be Utd at Villa Park. Chance to become instant hero
