OH MY DAYS! Good evening and welcome to Aston Villa v Sheffield United! WE ARE BACK!

Off we go again!

That was rancid. Villa were the better team, such as such a thing existed, but Blades had a goal chalked off by a watch not working. Welcome back!

Half-time: Aston Villa 0-0 Sheffield United

Lundstram was booked for not retreating at a free-kick.

There'll be two added minutes.

That is the worst call of its kind since Pedro Mendes at Old Trafford/

Eesh! Blades win a free-kick down the left and Norwood swings it in ... it's rubbish, but Nyland makes a right old mess of it under pressure from Egan, finding himself wrapped around the post and inside the side-netting, ball touching net. That's a goal, is that, but it seems that VAR is still in pre-season mode, so the watch doesn't vibrate and the ref waves play on. Why didn't he check?

This made me laugh.

Incredible, what a player.

Blades are having more of the ball now but Villa still look the likelier scorers, and when Davis wins a flick-on, McGinn charges into the box! But Robinson does well to stay with him, nicking the ball just before he can shoot.

Lundstram is now booked, again for something we didn't see but this time for something that happened.

Another left-wing corner for Villa, Hourihane with it, and he swings it out .. and Hause is there! But he bumps into the ball rather than heads the ball - in fairness, it's at a difficult height - and it trickles wide.

Welcome back football!

Gosh, we've got another hour of this.

Blades are improving, and Berge swings over a first-time cross that Konsa decides he must sweep behind, with no one anywhere near him.

Indeed it was.

Douglas Luiz just hauled down McBurnie on the break and a card was shown. We're told it was for Lundstram, but my guess it was for Luiz.

El Ghazi wriggles towards the box and Lundstram bumps into him, so down he goes; the ref doesn't want to know but that wasn't far off a penalty. I guess he deemed the contact insignificant.

Named after Maradona, you have to assume. No, there's not much going on out on the pitch.

A water break.
