I joined #Blueksy ages ago but have been waiting for the transition to gather pace. I'll be here if you need me:.

Two years of bliss. Every time you think it can't get any better, it does. Just think what the next two years could be like. Up the Villa! #AVFC.

A few years ago I used to spend mid-week worrying whether Stoke and Barnsley’s results would keep us out the Championship playoff spots. Now I worry whether Liverpool will knock us off the top spot of the Champions League table. #AVFC.

We’ve all said it a lot during the past two years but, seriously, what a time to be an Aston Villa fan. Up the Villa! #AVFC

In amongst the unblocked blocks, blue-tick madness and general garbage, there’s still some bright lights and some good people. I enjoyed reading this post and the replies. Felt like the little blue bird of old.

I’ve seen a couple of films in the past week. That Joker film that everyone hates. It was so unconventional that I quite enjoyed it, especially Gaga’s performance. I also saw Lee, which is great. A well-told story beautifully played by Kate Winslet. #Joker #Lee #Movies.

Strictly is a bit like Formula 1. No one knows who’s really the most popular celebrity because lots of people vote for a professional and no one knows who’s really the best driver because some cars are a lot better than others. #Strictly #SCD.

East London. #northernlights

That was very poor. Congratulations to Greece - well deserved. #ENG.

Not a good match. We look spent, mentally and physically. Players need the break and injuries are stacking up. Rashford should have been sent off. Simply ridiculous that he wasn’t. He made no attempt to play the ball. See you in two weeks. #AVFC.

One of the highlights for me from @slowdiveband’s performance in London for @soniccathedral’s 20th Anniversary was Crazy For You. Seemed crisper than ever with great use of delay that captured the Pygmalion sound. Also, excellent visuals by @inner_strings. #Slowdive

Quite the week - I’ve seen my two big passions in three days. Watching the Villa beat Bayern Munich at Villa Park on Wednesday and watching Slowdive crush Hackney’s eardrums on Friday. #AVFC #Slowdive

I’ve always watched clips of 1982 with a strong sense of nostalgia. It was something the Villa achieved when I was a child and never likely to be repeated. Last night changed that narrative forever. We are back at the top table and the nostalgia has gone. Up the Villa! #AVFC

Just got home after a three-hour drive back from Villa Park. I could have flown home - I feel euphoric. What. A. Night. Up the Villa! #AVFC.

Oh, what a night! My best ever night at Villa Park? Could be. Proud of the players, the manager, the fans, and anyone that’s ever known what it is to love Aston Villa. This was the aftermath of the goal. Incredible. Up the Villa! #AVFC

The moment when we scored will live with me forever. Got accidentally punched in the face and fell over with four other men. Shame it didn’t count… I think we’ve done alright. #AVFC

On our way to the Villa. No biggie - just BAYERN MUNICH in the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE at VILLA PARK! . Waited forever for this moment. Bring it on. Up the Villa! #AVFC

Spot on, unfortunately. Never got going in the second half. The lack of a proper right back is starting to hurt. Everything from Ipswich came down their left side. Konsa was continually exposed and we were probably lucky to get way with a point in the end. Frustrating. #AVFC.

Weird half of football. We had lots of possession, didn’t create much, but scored two goals. A combination of our defence and Ipswich’s tenacity meant we often looked likely to concede. I feel we’ll need to score more to win. Good comeback, though. #AVFC.
