Tyler Dibling at #Southampton is one of the best 16 year olds I've seen (in a one off performance), a bit of #Grealish about him. Going to the very top, it's a shame Southampton are in such trouble as he looks ready for 1st team football to me #SaintsFC

Matty #Cash talks moving at a pace by the sounds of it. Emery very keen on Lo Celso, #Tottenham need a right back, this solves both problems with minimal financial impact. #avfc #thfc #Spurs

Burnley one of those teams I'd like to see relegated. Their plucky spirit on a shoestring is admirable, but hatchet men like Mee and playing anti football is not what I want to see #avfc

Watching back the game. It is actually amusing how many lazy observers have branded Liverpool as poor. They threw the kitchen sink at Villa who stood firm and outplayed, outmuscled and outthought in every aspect. Arrogant and naive, absolutely but poor? No, second best #avfc #lfc

@Grealish_ @JackGrealish He hasn't changed since he was a kid, comes so easy to him. Bossed it as a precocious teenager on loan at Notts County, on his rise to #avfc 1st team and has taken to International football in exactly the same way. Sky is the limit, you are rightfully proud Kev

I do still get a bit of information thrown my way on transfers etc, I gather that Tottenham have asked about Matty Cash and the clubs are discussing at the moment. Lo Celso is part of the discussion. #avfc #thfc #transfer #itk

Mauled for 20 minutes, comfortably second best until halfway. Great battling 2nd half, 2 huge chances to get on terms. Stuck with the philosophy, which was incredibly brave, Gerrard has some serious bollocks #avfc

'The Project' exists with or without Jack in a Villa shirt, he's played a big part in kicking it into life, but look at the health of the club, the boys coming through and the quality, likeable, hard working beasts in the first team. Bitter pill to swallow but we live on #avfc
