Thank fuck the break is almost over and I don’t get fake Villa groups on farcebook printing this sort of cuntwaffle.

As always, European qualification (ideally Champions League) continues to be a key objective for Unai Emery’s Aston Villa.

We’re about 3 weeks out from Unai’s 4 year anniversary, which will just about make him our longest serving premier league manager, and yet it still feels like he’s only been here for 5 minutes.

Former Swiss international Blerim Dzemaili: "In the more than 20 years I've been following the national team, I've never seen such a complete player. He's even better now than he was before his injury. He could become one of the greatest Swiss players of all time." 🇨🇭

#AVFC

I think we should set up Super John McGinn with a remote workstation so that he can perform his captaincy duties from home a couple of days per week.

There you go - problem solved.
#AVFC

Mcginn is a top 5 favourite Villa player of all time for me. I think he’s a brilliant captain and I think he brings something intangible to the team.

BUT

With Mbaye and Alysson available I’m much less worried about him being rested or not starting on the right than I have been for years.

Aston Villa had a strong record after the international breaks last season, winning three times and drawing once.

Bring on Brentford... 💪 #AVFC

Craig Pawson will be the referee for this weekend's Premier League fixture between Aston Villa and Brentord

#AVFC are 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 in their last 𝐒𝐈𝐗 PL games with Pawson in charge (D3, L3).

Peter Bankes will be on VAR duty for the game.

The Swiss media have been raving about Johan Manzambi again, after Murat Yakin managed his minutes nicely over the last fortnight.

"He gives the impression of being able to turn every ball into gold, creating danger as soon as he touches it." 🌟

Jhon Duran signed a new contract to 2030 with Aston Villa #OnThisDay in 2024.

116 days later, Duran was sold to Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr.

A longer international break means more fixtures played & even more apprehension from players' respective clubs. John McGinn has luckily come through four games in ten days, having played 357 minutes of the 360 minutes (plus injury time). Not ideal for #AVFC and rather anxiety inducing

With Unai Emery at the helm and a refreshed squad, there are plenty of positives at Aston Villa.
