Tony's Tweets

We always used to present ourselves with a bit of class, this kind of thing would of been done by the likes of Gold/Sullivan and we'd be rightly pointing and laughing.

Things have moved on and social media is vital to our marketing strategy. A simple here he is and here's the shirt won't cut it. I wouldn't be surprised if the tweet resulted in a few more season ticket sales. About time we had some ingenuity and marketing sense.

I know how things move on and what a powerful tool Social Media is in marketing and promoting, I completely get that. What I don't get is our chairman using it to take digs at those lot, i'm sorry to keep repeating it but we really are better than that. He probably thinks its funny and is scoring points over them but what he's actually done , is give them there team talk and motivation for both games against us this season, he may aswell of used the 2002 Mellberg speech.

Anything that gives that club significance is best avoided. 

They live to be noticed by us and now they have succeeded.

Excellent tweet, engagement of the fan base and amusing. I am a grouchy old fecker but it made me smile, blimey it's just a bit of fun. As long as we don't have a team band and a fanfare when we score I'm happy.

This..it's just a bit of fun, lighten up people...we know that on the pitch is what matters but this isn't hurting us..

I think I might sick up a kidney.

I think it's quite funny, particularly when Laursen, Mellberg and God leave the group.

Yeah, just a harmless bit of fun, and I must admit I did laugh a bit when Bob Warman read out that "poem" on Central News tonight.

It's fair to say you can gauge the age of  people on here based on their reactions to that WhatsApp thing

[cdbearsfan]

I think it's a bit naff but recognise it's not aimed at me. I don't really mind it, though.

I do mind the petty digs at Small Heath that give their sad little lives an unwarranted sense of meaning.

Just seen the Twitter thing. To be honest I thought it was quite whimsical and liked it.

Well, he's summed up this transfer fairly succinctly.

That is awful, but then I'm old

The Whatsapp thing is the most imaginative thing I've seen Villa's marketing department do in years. Better than "Ask Bennett" at least.

[Jimbo]

Nothing Villa do off the pitch is as cringeworthy or humiliating as what we've done on it, many times.

[Nelly]

I thought the WhatsApp thing was really ingenious, properly in touch with Villa in terms of the Dr's cryptic maths tweets, our legendary and much loved defenders, Gabby putting his foot in it, etc.

It has come in for so much stick on Twitter but I think it was the most in-tune thing Villa's social media have ever done - certainly that I can recall anyway.
