Does TV stuff. Writer of things. Worked for Reuters, Premier League, Film Festivals etc... @allvillanofiller.bsky.social podcast. Shook hands with The Rock once.
Iconic stuff. Ollie Watkins set the tone from the first minute. So aggressive & up for it. Bullied the Forest defenders. Chased & pressed everything. His hold up play was as good as it's ever been. Maybe his best ever Villa performance & a no brainer for the World Cup. #avfc

Just pulled out the apology celebration against my hometown club.
I wonder if this game on the final day of the season is a straight shoot out to decide which of them stays up?
Amadou Onana was 10/10 outstanding against West Ham. Covered everywhere in midfield. Great on the ball. His tackle led to the second goal. Constantly headed away West Ham set pieces & made a crucial interception from a late WHU header. Looked like a £50m player. #avfc 🟣🔵
Honestly, what a genius shot. An all-time great scene. Fought tears watching it. There's something quite 'Stand By Me' about A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms. #AKOTSK
Newcastle had no Champions League compared to the previous year (& in fact had no Europe at all), but their revenues still rose €26.6m. Shortfall in broadcast made up for by a big rise in commercial. Interested to know who the commercial partners were to drive this up.
Aston Villa showing the power of the Champions League. A €140m rise in revenue over the previous year. Commercial revenues almost doubled to €83m. Matchday intake has gone from €33m two years ago to €80m(!) in 2025. Remarkable effort. #avfc
My cat bravely standing up to Vecna. Sorted him out. #StrangerThings
Got an away ticket for Aston Villa! Remembered it's at Crystal Palace 😬 #avfc
WHAT A HIT!! XG in the mud again. Kind of hilariously Ollie to miss that sitter at the start & then score that from nowhere. Right, relieved to get the goal. They’ll come out second-half. Should provide counter attack opportunities for Villa. COME ON LADS! #avfc 🟣🔵
Happy New Year one & all, especially to all Aston Villa fans. #avfc 🟣🔵
Happy new year one & all. I leave this year with the same question as I always do… they must surely have come up with a better idea to see out the year on TV than Jools Holland’s Hootenanny at some point in the last 26 years?
Guess David Walliams is gonna have to do this in real life now.
Think part of what actually makes America great is someone like Rob Reiner who gifted all this & so much more to the world. What a massive loss. RIP
Yet another great game for Pau Torres. Such a tremendous ball-playing centre back. Think he’s player of the season for Villa so far (Cash top, too). Ever since he came on against Fulham, Villa have been totally transformed & gone on a winning run. He’s so important. #avfc 🟣🔵
Awesome to meet the much loved former Aston Villa physio Jim Walker at the Aston Social last night! Got hold of his new book 'Walker's Way' where he talks about his time at Villa and experiences as a player under Brian Clough. Can't wait to read it! #avfc #utv #astonvilla 🟣🔵
Is this now the third group of European fans we’ll have to ban from the stadium?! 😂 Put the Young Boys fans to bed. Way past their bed time. Acting like idiots. #avfc
This is just absolutely appalling writing. I know young bloggers starting out writing about football who are light years better than this ridiculous, wannabe rubbish. Feels like she’s been convinced she’s a genius & is trying to write like some kind of brilliant 1950s talent. Embarrassing.
