Frustraing result yesterday, but a bit of perspective...
Under Emery, we seem to have a drop-off in January. Maybe it's the uncertanty of a transfer window ๐คทโโ๏ธ
#AVFC Points gained based on the same GWs 20-24 (5x games):
22/23 - 6pts
23/24 - 7pts

It appears Emi has shithoused the Villa fans this week with his tears. Unai says no way is this his last game for Villa!! #UTV

Iโm getting less confident the more I hear pundits not giving Man U a chance. Just looked at the odds - Man U 3/1 at home and Villa odds on. ๐ฌ switching off the radio and getting the rosary beads out.

Pride for sure, but what an ending it would be to get Champions League football again. We deserve it. So many things went against us particularly early in the season & Unaiโs brilliant philosophy of โnext man upโ has stood to us. Guys like Bogarde will deserve massive praise if we get there today.

Itโs even worse than just the money though as there would be 6 other premier league teams in the market for champions league players which could hurt us.

Yeah I agree. Iโll be disappointed if we donโt make champions league for sure, but if we can do our bit and win I think Iโll take that. Sure itโll be a case of what ifs but there would be a lot of positives. #UTV

Just try to focus on today mate and the good things around you. Do something today for you that you can look back on tomorrow and smile about. Doesnโt have to be big, cut the grass, clean the clothes etc are all little tasks to look back on and smile about.

If United lose here and we get an early goal on Sunday, imagine how toxic Old Trafford could be.

I actually think heโd happily stay. I obviously donโt know but it seems our model at the moment is to generate money by moving on some of our best assets. I guess what Iโm saying is it wouldnโt surprise me if itโs Villa that are generating the interest not the other way around.

Understood. My only point is that you implied United are no longer a trophy winning machine to which I pointed out they won trophies the last two years and are in one of the most prestigious finals of the club calendar this week.

I hear you but you canโt deny that while United are a mess they continue to win trophies. If they win on Wednesday, I think this would be 3 seasons in a row winning trophies while playing poor.

Lost in semi final of conference league last year to winners, semi final of FA cup this year to winners and Q-final of this years champions league to finalist (at worst). This actually makes it worse for me as it shows how incredibly close we are to silverware but we canโt quite grab one. #utv

So just to clarify, was it the property with that picture or the property in that picture?

I think you could add Onana to that statement.

Just a regular reminder that city should have had their punishment by now and we would be sitting with CL qualification in our own hands.

I think we need a new format/rules for an award recognizing rising PL players. Having guys with 111 (Elanga), 89 (Pedro), 87 (Palmer) and 99 PL appearances (Saliba) up for what's ostensibly an award meant to nominate rising talent feels a little icky

Unai Emery is set to take charge of his 100th game as #AVFC manager in the Premier League this Friday night.
Here is a thread of some of the milestones and records held by the great man.......

Pau Torres vs Tyrone Mings: An Aston Villa culture clash
Unai Emery's choice of left centre-back has caused a stir in recent weeks โ is a horses for courses approach the best way to go?
Tyrone Mings defied expectations from doctors that he would miss at least two months following another knee injury in January.
Considering Pau was injured and #AVFC were short at CB, he returned in four weeks, risking his own health in resulting games.

Oh man thatโs not good but for once I guess you can think there could have been worse things to worry about today. I donโt suffer too often from migraine, maybe once or twice a year, but when I do, black out room and sleep is the only remedy.

Oh wow, that sounds like a horrific couple of weeks wait. Seems like good news though. Hereโs hoping the head ache improves sooner rather than later though.

Politics is a fkn mess atm.
Itโs no longer about making things better for you, itโs about making things worse for someone else.
Punching down
Pulling the ladder up
Hating anyone who looks different to you
Creating division
Deflection
Normalising lies
Blaming the most vulnerable in society
