The mental battle was won, and the boys finished them off on the pitch!!

I was a huge fan of Watkins. One of those annoying fans that was always willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Seemed a nice guy who worked his socks off in every game. He wasn’t the greatest finisher but his work rate was unmatched at times. Then he did what he did in the summer and he lost all respect.

But wow, Jackson is such a massive upgrade. I hoped he’d be a good replacement but he’s surpassed what I hoped he’d be. His work rate is higher than Watkins, he covers so much ground across the full worth other pitch, and he takes his chances.

Gave me a chuckle

I'll say it again , well done lads.

Every time he steps on the pitch he makes something happen. First touch vs PSG took it around Mendes and put a good ball into the box. Last night, he came in and went around their LB and flashed it across to Tammy for a goal.

He's so direct and seems deceptively strong. Never really see much discussion around him though and always as a third/fourth option. Genuinely think he should be getting starts. I'd love to see us go with:

Jackson

Mbaye - Manzambi - Alysson

Kamara - McGinn

That attack might be the most dangerous attack we've fielded under Emery.

i love Ross Barkley, so emotionally invested in him, but feel I could run a poll on a weekly basis about whether he's great or shite and get a different answer every week.

We've spent many years watching matches and pondering the club's direction. From relegation, misplaced passes, a nearly team, spending restrictions, player sales and injuries to promotion, European/Champions League qualifications, bangers, miracles, big moments, Emery magic and a trophy win, we suffered a lot and stood resilient through it all.

Today's victory is for you! Congratulations!

There's still a long way to go. The squad is yet to be fully balanced but this match just showed how bright the future is. We all look forward to it.

UTV!

Nicholas Jackson with a 101 km/h strike average on goal 1, estimated peak of 114 km/h
And 95 km/h on goal 2, estimated peak of 109 km/h!
What a convincing win for Villa!

Osayi-Samuel seen at Villa Park, likely locked in with the Fener fans as they got battered

Its so disappointing to see £99 tickets for these games. How did the club not see this happening for a midweek league phase game.

No north stand I know why don't we split those lost ticket sales between the rest of the seats so we don't lose any money?

Embarrassing unfortunately. I hope the rest of the fans can carry the atmosphere in there and half the noise from fenerbahce is lost in the open north stand.

how can we be 3-0 up at half time and only have.7 xG?

Does anyone know how to get a full match replay for today’s game as soon as possible?

It's official guys, Jackson is better than Kane

How are you feeling? What's your starting XI? Predictions? UTV!

Love the guy and what he has done for us last season, but feels like he is adapting bad to the new players only seen his magic once this season and how we played without him was breathtaking. Is this going to go bad for him?

I'm gonna be in Frankfurt for the Barcelona game, is there a good place to watch, preferably with other villa fans?

Excuse my stupid question, but where do away fans sit? I’m looking at section A3 as I’ve sat in the Holte End before. Don’t want to be surrounded by away fans though

Prices have dropped fyi from £98 to £83

I've never had any issues with a normal small handbag when going to Villa Park before, but I've seen they have dimensions of 20x15x5 cm, which is smaller than any bag I own 🙄

Is this new? Am I going to get charged a tenner to put it in a locker?

I'm travelling from London so I don't really have the option of not bringing one.

Our players are dropping like flies and the season has only started. I'm getting depressed.
