15/05/2018 - Aston Villa will face Fulham in the Championship play-off final on 26 May after beating Middlesbrough 1-0 on aggregate 10.08pm BST I’ll leave you with this expert take from Stuart James from Villa Park. Next stop: Wembley on 26 May for the Championship play-off final between Aston Villa and Fulham. It’s bound to be a good one. That’s all from me for now. Thanks for reading and emailing. Bye. Related: Aston Villa survive late Stewart Downing scare to reach Wembley final 10.06pm BST Steve Bruce speaks! “We’ve shaded it over the two games. They haven’t had a shot on target. That stood us in good stead. First half, we gave the ball away a bit. Second half, we controlled it. It was agony towards the end. But it means so much. Thankfully it seems we’ve turned the club round a bit. We have to beat a very good team in Fulham. We need a few days to rest.” 10.04pm BST Paul Merson is tearing into that game on Sky.

Grown-up Grealish has found his focus, says Aston Villa’s Steve Bruce

15/05/2018 - • Grealish had to deal with toxic dressing room, adds Bruce• Villa lead Boro 1-0 from Championship play-off first legUntil recently Jack Grealish was routinely pigeon-holed as a self-destructive, troubled talent but Steve Bruce believes his playmaker was merely a victim of Aston Villa’s once noxious dressing-room culture.If there is no reason to doubt the Villa manager’s assessment, Grealish also seems to have done an awful lot of growing up. The 22-year-old would – if Villa go up – return to the Premier League as an infinitely more mature version of the midfielder who once drove managers to distraction.

12/05/2018 - Steve Bruce will always look back on the first half of 2018 as one of the unhappiest chapters in his personal life but, professionally at least, things are looking up a little. Aston Villa’s manager is grieving following the death of his father in February and his mother at the start of this month, yet remains intensely committed to achieving a promotion, the fifth of his managerial career, that he had until recently hoped to celebrate with them.Mile Jedinak’s first-half header from a quickly taken corner places Bruce well on course to fulfil that hope, leaving Tony Pulis’s Middlesbrough with it all to do in the second leg at Villa Park on Tuesday night.

06/06/2018 - The 2016-17 accounts of all top-flight clubs and what the figures say about their health. Manchester United top the charts again with a £581m income and £57m profitFinancial figures for 2016-17, for the 20 clubs that were in the Premier League during 2016-17. All details from the most recently published annual reports at Companies House. Crystal Palace have missed the deadline for filing their accounts; as a consequence, all rankings of clubs are out of 19, not 20. Net debt is as stated in the accounts; debts minus cash held at the bank. The separate categories of turnover are listed according to the wording in individual club’s accounts and are each rounded up or down, so added together they do not always tally with the total turnover figure.

For Bruce, who has been through such a distressing time after losing both parents in the past three months, it would be a remarkable achievement if he can see this gruelling campaign through and mastermind his fifth promotion to the top flight.

But the resilience! The second half was very difficult but we kept a clean sheet, we’ve got an advantage, coming to Middlesbrough’s never easy, so we’ll take that and look forward to Tuesday.
