I am generally positive about the possibility of stripes. It's not a classic villa kit but neither was the Luke kit. I have huge nostalgia for the 99/00 thick striped kit.

Jack's dad is a Villa fan so it's probably wishful thinking. I don't think there would be barriers to him coming back if he wanted to and was still an elite footballer. We're hardly the kind of club to get hung up on sentiment if a player of that quality is available.

Doug Ellis took over when we were at our best and when the PL came along we were primed to ride the wave to the top, but he lacked any foresight whatsoever and scrooged us down to mid table mediocrity. An owner with some vision in the 90s and we've got at a couple of PL titles at this point.

City winning a treble is absolutely disgusting for football but really happy for Jack. At least he didn't leave to waste away on some big club's bench, he's gone and won everything as a key part of the side.

I absolutely think there's a large element of racism. Tyrone, because he's a prominent, confident and eloquent black man who speaks out on social justice causes, will unfortunately have people who hate him because he says things they don't want to hear. With sportspeople it's even worse because there is another element of people who will slate him because he's "just a dumb footballer and shouldn't have opinions", and in addition you have people who hate him because he's an excellent player who plays for an opposition club. This happens everywhere there are eloquent, activist black sportspeople. Look at Kaepernick. Look at Lewis Hamilton. Look at LeBron. Look at Simone Biles. For the Australians on the forum, an very prominent case over here was Adam Goodes, a legendary Indigenous Aussie Rules player who toward the end of his career took a bit of a stand against the racism he faced and started to get booed by sections of the crowd at every game, by people who would say they weren't doing it for racist reasons, but didn't do it for the first 15 years of his career until he spoke out. Tyrone has become my favourite Villa player since I started following in the late 90s. His performances are a big part of that, but i'm also so proud to have someone like Tyrone represent us. Just everything you want in a Villa player as a player and person.

I think he's got pretty good potential to get back to playing good football, he's 31, hardly over the hill for a modern footballer if we can get his body right. A lot can change in an offseason with modern sports science and if his body was absolutely shot, we wouldn't have signed him in the first place. He's a perfect impact sub type. His style of play seems to fit how Emery likes his teams to attack.

Sad to see him leave but really glad he came back and played some great football for us. I hope this means we've got a right back lined up.

It's not impossible that an enormous offer comes in for him but his value is enormous at the moment and he has a long contract. We'd be well positioned to get a massive fee and be able to replace him reasonably well. I'm not sure that there are many clubs who both need a goalkeeper and will be prepared to spend £50mil+ we'll expect for him. To take the next step we need to accept that while we're climbing the mountain, some players will get their heads turned by big CL clubs and be off. We just have to make sure that we re-invest well and that our culture means we improve regardless.

Yep, by about triple the next highest. He must have really struggled to stay on the park early in his career.

Emery has unlocked something in him and the rest of our forwards. Our passing when on the break is absolutely brilliant, managing to thread the needle to find a free player in the box pretty regularly. We don't panic and we find the pass, and Ramsay is probably the best proponent of that in the side. Lethal on the break and just beautiful to watch.

I teared up when he took the ball over to the corner flag. No more fitting end to this wonderful season than Captain Super John McGinn holding off 2 players to run down the clock to secure a famous victory.

According to Transfermarkt our squad is worth more than Juventus. This competition is obviously full of banana peels, but the average team we'll play will be worse than the average team we play in the PL, and the best teams won't be better than the top 6 or 7 PL teams. We can and should absolutely win this. It's been too long in between trophies.

Brilliant game when it mattered most. Such an exciting player. He'd have to be in the running for a senior England call up shortly given the players getting named in the midfield. Brilliant season, going from strength to strength.

So, so proud of that effort against a Brighton side who threw everything at us. What a wonderful season once Unai came on board.

Brentford winning is irrelevant with Tottenham up by 2. We have to win

So many blown chances! Come on Villa!

So inconsistent with his cards. Some very soft yellows and some cynical professional fouls not given

My interpretation would simply be that if it's close enough that you're not sure, that player is interfering and therefore offside. Our high line is usually brilliant but we got caught out once where they had 3 players offside in attacking positions and the player who scored close. It's very frustrating.

Yep, they're allowed to stand offside and be in the way of our defenders tracking back, but as long as they don't play the ball themselves it's on. The current way it's ruled is absolute garbage. You should be considered offside if you're within 10m of another player or the ball, regardless of whether you attempt to play it.

God we are so beautiful to watch when going forward in space.

What a run and ball by Ramsay, wonderful goal!

Really chuffed for Marv, such a nice fella and such a hardworking player, and he'll now be a legend at Luton. Deserves that so much. I know it's a business but I wouldn't haggle them too hard over his fee. He's surplus to requirements here and he was a good servant for us. Don't make it hard for him to make his move and maintain a good relationship with both him and Luton for potential future loans.

The amount of 15yo Liverpool fans on social media saying "the ball was nowhere near it" because they're judging the incident on stills of the footage and didn't watch the game is insane. Mings got let off because he got the ball so cleanly, well prior to the contact, and had his eyes on the ball the whole time.

What a man, what a player. So, so happy for him and the season he's having. An absolute giant for us.

Agree completely! I hope we get to Europe but if we don't, we get another season to build our depth and push for Europe again from a much stronger base. It's the most exciting time to be a Villa fan since at least the MON years, arguably in the Premier League era.
