stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Watching this Liverpool vs city game just feels like a meaningless dead rubber. Just can’t feel anything when city play after their guilty verdict of industrial cheating, just feel apathy #LIVMCI 040
stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 10/10/2026A leggy scrappy game against a tough and organised opponent, created some good opportunities without playing decent patterns of football. Didn’t lose while not at our best is a positive. Our passing looked like it had anchors on the ball Frustrating, didn’t lose 19 wins from 32 games #utv #avfc 030
stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Great performance from England, that’s the blue print that’s got to be the identity, never let up, kept the intensity and was ruthless. Yes Croatia player poor but a lot was how we started fast and went straight at them and they didn’t know what to do #croeng 010

stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 29/09/2026That was boring. I appreciate these are effectively friendliest and players wanting to protect themselves but just real lack of quality. What’s happened to Saka in an England shirt, was always one of first players on the sheet for me, but seems so low in confidence recently for England? 000
stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Decent game as end to end, Bellingham and Gordon were great, with Anderson and Orielly (mistake aside) fine, the rest were off it. Defence individually and as a unit all over the place. 111
stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Am I the only one thinking this 2nd half from England has been shocking some real honking performances and mistakes 110

stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Want to shout out Ruggeri, Jackson and Manzambi along with Suzuki strong performances, and so important we dug deep to get it over the line, going to be a calmer 3 weeks. That’s 3 wins in last 4 in all comps not too shabby #utv #avfc 1100
stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Great win and gets us going, though weird as we managed the game well at times but then real self destruct moments, should never have given them a sniff. Suzuki kept us in the game , but just like last year some real lack of care when on the ball. But what a win and what a feeling #utv #avfc 040
stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Good solid win. Some nice bits and some very weird bits, especially parts of first half that were wild. Want to shout out Ruggeri and THB nice calm low key games, perfect for defenders on debut. Also thought Tammy looked much fitter and sharper pleased for him. #utv #avfc 060
stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 16/09/2026What a weird half of football. It was like soccer aid, with exp pros at half decent level still mixed with the likes of Jamie Theakston, Woody Harrelson and Snoop Dogg. It looks like a competition between us and cov of who cares the least for this competition #utv #avfc 030

stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Good win and important we got it over the line. Keep building. Brugge are awkward and very attacking so we’re never going to give up. Away wins anywhere are tough. What’s Japanese for “how’s your touch” 😅 #avfc #utv 050
stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Well, that was fun 😅. Some lovely goals and moves. Feels like a pre season of both teams being a bit loose and scruffy. Problem scoring, what problem scoring #utv #avfc 040

stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 05/09/2026A boring solid controlled half, not too dissimilar of how we were last season, especially being away and trying not to concede transitions. Final pass and execution still not firing but some nice build up. No easy games in the prem especially away. #avfc #utv 020

stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Small margins the difference. Looking back could maatsen be sharper defensively and clear the ball before the goal, would think other way round and arsenal would have cleared a similar cross. He played well but just those small margins #avfc #utv 040
stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Better performance than last week, though ball retention and decision making, especially in final 3rd still lacking.

stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Obviously an awful and embarrassing first half - that can always happen. Though the team and squad today will be different by the end of the season, with Emery able to grow this team to being successful. Im still excited about the season, with my target of 20 wins now from 37 games #utv #avfc 020
stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 23/08/2026These games happen, where 3/4 have their worst 45mins performance for Emery, disappointing but we have to shake it off and go again. Not having this down to the narrative of players not available, those who’ve left or SCR, this was down to application and poor individual performances #utv #avfc 030
stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Oh well at least we’re only 3 points off 5 place 040

stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 23/08/2026New season same classic villa, though this time we’ve managed to concede from first shot that isn’t on target 😅 #utv #avfc 030

stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Key now is to get replacements with the same or higher potential ceilings than those leaving, and at current level that will still mean were competitive for a top 5 finish.

stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 15/08/2026This is what I would expect the experience to be of watching a cool down inter squad training game at BMH. This is just purely for fitness and conditioning - my only worry is no more injuries please, not bothered about anything else #utv #avfc 120
stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Positive friendly performance building on pre season. Youngsters are ready. Slight disappointment of same previous habits being way too casual at times, lack of clinical finishing, and just completely stopped on the 2nd goal. But lots more positives to take. Excited for new season #utv #avfc 040
stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Also Hemmings is just classy and had a strong half too, looks positive and seems to make good decisions. Looks good off both feet and linking up well, had flashbacks of Ramsey that was nostalgic as well #utv #avfc 120
stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Good competitive half from us. PSG tired as half went on. defensive shape good, just cut open a couple of times. Madjo is ready isn’t he. Not just the finish, but has that natural striker instinct too of finding space and getting chances off. Mentality more importantly looks too too! #utv #avfc 140
stitchos83.bsky.social @stitchos83.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Another good workout, a real sharpening exercise, especially against a hyper aggressive press in 1st half. Needed a game and opponent like that to up our prep. Could’ve had nore attacking threat, though last 10 was more exciting. Bubbling quite nicely and feeling optimistic for new season #utv #avfc 010
