@now_arsenaI @SabriLamouchi11 Everyone?? Grow up!!

I hope Unai Emery and Aston Villa get absolutely battered by Forest on Thursday now. Fucked it up for everyone.

@Chelsearory Grow up

Knew it. Emery and Villa have let the whole country down. That line up unforgivable, basically thrown the game. Hope Forest batter them in the week now.

@Andy_midd84 @Ryan46177890 His foot was high, he went over the ball. Out of control…red all day

@Ryan46177890 Fully agree with you. I’ve said myself had it been the other way around Forest fans would be saying the same thing Anderson has got to the ball first, his foot is not high as the contact is on the ankle Very tight game last night, the tie is far from over

Red card for winning the ball apparently 🤷🏻‍♂️ Watkins nowhere near it 🔴⚪️👊🏼

@NFFC_owen Over the ball isn’t winning the ball. Reckless =Red

Won. The. Ball.

@_Afcbanks What about Rice grappling

PGMOL trying their hardest to give City the title. Nice

@ArsenalZNE Wasn’t handball

No idea how this went to VAR review and wasn’t given as a Dorgu handball. Arsenal always losing out to small margins.

@kimmoFC Getting away with what? He got up 20secs later

He keep getting away with this. Fuming.

Unai Emery’s record as Aston Villa manager is truly remarkable when looked at in its entirety. He took over in October of 2022 with the team 14th and just 3 points off the relegation zone following on from a dismal end to the tenure of Steven Gerrard. From there, they won 15 of their remaining Premier League fixtures to finish 7th and qualify for the Conference League. In the 2023/24 season that followed, they finished 4th in the top flight, qualifying for the Champions League whilst making it to the semi-finals of the Conference League simultaneously. The 2024/25 season saw them reach the Champions League quarter-finals where they were knocked out 5-4 on aggregate by eventual winners PSG despite being 5-1 down after just 27 minutes of the second leg, they also made it to an FA Cup semi-final and finished just outside of the Champions League places again. This season, after a very poor opening few weeks by their standards, they’ve won 13 of their last 15 in all competitions, including their last 7 on the bounce, with their most recent win coming at home to league leaders Arsenal with pretty much the last kick of the game. They’re 3rd in the Premier League, just 3 points off the Gunners at the top and are also 3rd in the Europa League, level on points with Lyon who sit in 1st on goal difference. The true measure of Emery’s success over the last 3 and a bit years though, is that his win % at Aston Villa stands at 55.28% across 161 matches, well clear of George Ramsey’s record of 49.59% at the top of the charts for every manager in the club’s history. Villa are a massive football club, their description as a “sleeping giant” of English football was well founded before Emery’s arrival but what he has done there deserves to be shouted about from the rooftops. It’s no wonder they all think he walks on water.

@Rupertbell Awful fanbase Rupert. Other teams always “lucky” in their eyes We totally deserved the win as we kept going to the end 💜🩵

Someone needs to take their blinkers off .its not Harry Potter it’s the unai emery magic casting a spell over you

@poeutd Perfectly put! 💜🩵

What a bloody war it was! Aston Villa vs Arsenal – 90 minutes of pure chaos, and I loved every second. Villa were relentless, hunting Arsenal from minute one. If Watkins had his shooting boots on, it would've been buried in the first half. Massive shoutout to David Raya unreal shot-stopping. Emi Martínez was just as ridiculous. Goalkeeper masterclass both ends. The ref was shit btw 😂 But the real star? Unai Emery, Arsenal’s personal kryptonite 😅. Every season, home or away, he hurts them. Tactical wizard. Respect maxed. John McGinn turned into prime De Bruyne mixed with Modrić. Those first-half passes were filthy – inch-perfect, insane vision. Quick note: Villa started the season with 5 games, 0 goals, 0 wins. Then Cash’s screamer… floodgates opened. Since then it’s direct, lethal, vertical football – ball over the top, Watkins in behind, killer through balls on repeat. Beautiful when it clicks. Imagine Malen starting instead of coming off the bench – attack had way more venom once he was on. Arsenal without Saliba, Gabriel, and even Mosquera too? That defence is getting cooked for a while. Good luck 😏 Chaotic, intense, entertaining as hell. Unai masterclass😌, Villa brilliant, Arsenal battered. One of the games of the season already. Thoughts in the replies 🔥

@johntownley11 But Odegarrd motm according to Keown 🤷🏻‍♂️UTV

Buendia, 94:03 at the Holte End – pure theatre, a moment in time. Villa one of Europe's best lately; few do it like Villa Park. Surreal ending, but a shock result? No. Cash top, Pau immense, Rogers swaggering, Tielemans a maestro, Kamara not bad for a freebie either. 💪 #AVFC

@j00ny369T Pah…easy

That’s skills.

@AVFC_News What the fuck does Pardew know? Booorrring!! 💜🩵

Aston Villa striker told to look for new club in January after 'bridge burned' #AVFC birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football…

@paul_worton @TheHolte1874 Ah ok. Listening on radio on hols and thought they said it was given as red then reviewed. Never mind, 3 points UTV

@TheHolte1874 @AshbyCliff Nothing was given on the pitch. VAR thought it was worthy of SFP and sends ref to the monitor to review for a possible red. Ref disagrees but does agree it’s reckless so can issue a yellow. It’s a weird nuance of VAR as you can’t send a ref to review for a possible yellow

Since when was VAR used to give yellows? I’m bewildered, as usual

@TommyFleetwood1 @JustinRose99 Just a matter of time Tommy. A Ryder cup win will do nicely this year though

With every disappointment I truly know I’m closer and closer and even more determined than ever that I will get this done. The support I’ve received is invaluable and hugely appreciated, we’ll get there together! @JustinRose99, your win is inspiring, congratulations my friend!! A new week. See you at work!!
