As a Newcastle fan who has had a difficult follow up season I wish Aston Villa all the best.
Simon said Villa had no chance of getting 4th. He clearly has no clue about what is going on at Villa.
He said similar about Eddie Howe as well. Our clubs are not supposed to get in the top six never mind a CL place. He wouldn't be saying any of the usual mob's managers would be sacked next year if they'd had similar seasons to yours. It's all click bait shite anyway from that station.
9:13 9:13 9:13 9:13 9:13 9:13 9:13 9:13 It's FFP that will stop Villa. It's actually unfair. Because what you have is man city a power house who have established themselves by spending heavily and breaking all rules, which over all these years, bias not been dealt with. They are a product of the PL, they bring in marketing, revenue and maybe a reason why this is going slow.
All city do every year is sign a top player because that's all they need to do as they have established themselves. So how are teams like Villa supposed to use 60 million to buy a CL squad..you can't buy a top player for 90 million these days. It's going to be playing out of skins while teams like city can have Haaland and de bruyne out and still walk the league. It such a frauddddd
He clueless in general
@@teddy4u83he thinks heâs Alan Sugar đ€Łđ€Ł
@@daviddunn3138well done to Newcastle mate, hope you can sneak 5th place
Simon clear lost a bet to where Villa would finish đđ
Simon is a windup merchant and a guild leader of the clowns
@Tonysparks2392 So did Jim White. He thought Newcastle would finish higher.
Initially I was going to rage but to be fair I can't fault anything SJ says- There's only so much us and Newcastle can do to sustain a position in the Top 6 when all the usual top 6 have already got the talent. PSA protects the big boys and hinders everyone else
â@@villainofthepiste8275They got the talent but we got Emery. It's his system and tactics that got us here
No one cares that much about your club too care stop pretending your a big 6 club when you fail next season they will bash it over your head
The media got nasty very quickly over Villa's success. It wasnt meant to happen. How dare they disturb the status quo.
Facts, they like the demise of Leicester and staggering of West Ham, Villa keep it pushing. You give other clubs reason to aspire to break the sky 6
Can't go upsetting the exclusive " top six" apple cart now can we!â@@montanaprime
Funny how people are disagreeing with Simon like we havent seen this story before. Newcastle, Leicester, Tottenham, Bolton, Everton list can go on. We all love an underdog story but history always repeats itself. Aston Villa have your moment, reality kicks in next season and you will be back where you belong...
@@dealz5197 I'm afraid we're back where we belong now... It only took us 5 years to get out of the middle of the championship to getting champions league football. No other club could do that if they didn't belong there...
My thoughts exactly. People are scared that the sleeping giant has woke up and might continue to get better and better. Just a bunch of jealous haters.
Just let them enjoy the now ffs! Them being back in the UCL is huge
Cheers m8.
We're not part of the 'top 6' so they don't like us breaking through
Spot on lad! I've said that to my fellow Villans, just enjoy it now!!
*@andrewquin5946* Weâre not allowed to enjoy it because weâre not a Big/Sky 6
Thank youâ€
This headline does a complete disservice to Uni Emery. He moved the Villa from relegation to Champions League. What more can a Prem Manager do to prove his credentials?
Eddie Howe did the fame thing with Newcastle. Both top managers
Eddie had 70m to drop on Isak and played two banks of 5, Emery done it with what he inherited plus a few astute signings, whilst taking them deep in Europe.
â@@worldsforliving A few astute signings? You mean the 50mil on Diaby. Yeah, pennies đ
@@StrikeBolteafc How many trophies Eddie Howe won already ?
@@jeromelange7401 he was at Bournemouth for most of his time as a manager and then went to a relegation threatened Newcastle for 3 years. What trophies was he meant to win?
Hahaha damn, the media just can't handle Villa's success... Compliments through gritted teeth, hoping for Villa's downfall. Embarrassing.
It's eating them both up. Especially Murphy. And Neville he always has Villa as a small club and wanted that 4th spot for united. He fears that's another club another problem. I am just in fear that Emery won't stay very long
Exactly the same for Newcastle last year when we got champions league
They hate us đ
Utvđđ©”
@@teddy4u83 We can enjoy it whilst it lasts. Media all thought Emery was going to leave this summer... He isn't going anywhere at least for another season. The media can't wait for the first bad result and they'll attempt to hound Emery out, but we love him, the owners love him, hopefully he sticks around for a little while yet UTV
Let's face it, Simon Jordon was the owner of Crystal Palace, a nothing club that could only dream of being as successful as Aston Villa.
Emery is a elite manager and deserves respect
Unai Emery has so much credit in the bank & is very much loved by everyone connected with Aston Villa that even if we don't finish as high as we did this season, Unai's job won't be under any threat. In 18 months he has completely turned Villas fortunes around & has done an incredible job,Unai is elite & one of the best managers in world football. In Unai we trust...... up the mighty Villa!!! đ
Fellow Aston Villa fans, donât let this bait headline distract from our accomplishment this season. Actually donât think Simon has said anything too daft. We DO need to strengthen massively to kick on. Whatever happens this is an amazing season. And I believe we are in the amazing hands of our owners. UTV!
You lot need to strengthen your squad. The more games you play the more the injury list will pile up. And that will surely mess up your performance during the important stage of the season.
Hopefully Unai gets the backing from the owners during the transfer season.
@@yangerjamir0906the likelihood is weâll actually have less games next season. We had to pre-qualify for the conf league so ended up playing 14 European ties. I realistically expect us to play 8 to 12 games next season, (albeit against superior opposition).
Two or three signing, plus the return of our injured players, should give us considerably more squad depth next season, (which is what caught up to us after Xmas this year).
Real football fans of all clubs appreciate what a cracking job Emery has done, just don't give him ÂŁ80m to blow on Pepe.
You've a brilliant squad, probably 3 decent signings away from consistent top 4.
@@worldsforliving pepe wasnt an Unai signing. he was forced on him.
Simon Jordan lack of consistency is crazy, one minutes he is praising Ange Postecoglou for an amazing job with Spurs and think things can only get better next season, the next min he is expecting a coach who over archive with Aston Villa to be sack next season. All he does on Talk Sport is yap and use big grammar to sound clever, the man is as clueless as the average Joe, and it makes more sense why he is a fail club chairman.
Simon is a car phone salesmanâŠ.with a slippery tongue. No kidding
Big grammar? He keeps using the same words and phrases - "nature of the beast", "notwithstanding" and "fallen off cliff".
Talkspurs though ainât it what should we expect from these muppets
Simon Jordan facing the sack due to his poor form is far more likely than Unai. Up the Villa!
I don't care if we go straight out of the Cl and finish 7th next season, Emery isn't going anywhere.
Theyâve been playing like this since he got there, the middle of LAST season. And theyâve improved this year, despite having the conference league games as well. I havenât got a clue what Simon is basing his opinion on, because itâs not facts or evidence
Like Souness said, he's not a football person đ
I think Simon is still underestimating just how good Emery is.
Most people thought villa would struggle playing Thursday/Sunday but managed to get 4th over spurs who played once a week
Spurs did have an injury crisis and effectively missing their best XI for three months of the season. Every team gets injuries and missing players, but for Spurs, Newcastle, Brentford, Brighton and could possibly make a case for United, their missing players had a depth to them that no other club faced.
@@christianbrienesse villa also have had a lot of injuries but donât use it as an excuse, itâs down to the manager with good coaching and finding different ways to deal with injuries
@@christianbrienesse Nah, Villa's injury is just as bad.
3:44 Spurs are shiteđ
@@Bridgevillian because Villa werenât missing the spine of their team like Spurs were. Villa had injuries but they were in no way comparable to what Spurs were missing, hence the demolition by Spurs at Villa Park when they had most of their spine back.
There is a reality, but that reality is that Aston Villa are building the club on all fronts in a methodical logical way. Different to many other clubs. There is real intention to carry on this development so all we can do is wait and see. We, the Villa fans know this and are ready to do what we do best, support the club and leave the rest to the owners, manager, coaching staff, players and all those involved on the business side. For now though , WE ARE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE BABY, and deserve to celebrate this seasons massive achievement. UTV
They've been "poor" due to injuries that the media overlooks.
Embarrassing đ next season hasnât started but Simon already wants emery to fail
Theyâre fuming weâve made champions league
We won't care if we finish outside of Europe next season. We trust him to come again. Stop this nonsense.
God forbid we have our day in the sun without some casting clouds. Oh well, we're all behind Unai, the players, and the owners. UTV
Itâs actually embarrassing. Shows how these âfootball expertsâ are actually clueless. But donât worry mate, all of us know whatâs going on at our club behind the scenes. Weâre going to be massive once again⊠an everyone can cry about it⊠people will laugh, but the laughers will all cry eventuallyâŠ
We will just prove them wrong again like always
It's pure jealousy mate.
Emery is BETTER than any Brits of this era
Not better than Howe
â@@Thoushaltplaymore next joke
â@@Thoushaltplaymoreare you high
@@Thoushaltplaymore Piss off đ«
@@Thoushaltplaymore Miles better than Eddie who
And when Villa stayed up, it was against West Ham, not Everton.
Very happy for Aston Villa - I respect that club. Top Manager, and I love the goalkeeper.
Is potentially 6th much further down than 4th?đđđ
Yes it is further down than 4th. But I'm a Geordie too and thought it was a weird comment
@@ThoushaltplaymoreI think the point is if you preface a statement with âpotentiallyâ it means nothing lol
âMoment in timeâ. They really have no idea of the Villa owners ambition. Emeryâs here for 4 years too. Unlike the Sky 6 theyâre not under pressure to qualify for CL every year. Ahead of themselves? Yeah, but what a leg up with the cash, commercial gains and prestige that comes with getting that top 4 spot, and you can see how much that sickens these pundits.
I think Villa are just happy to be competing at the right end of the table and to be in and around the top 6. The disrespect the media and individuals put on the club is ridiculous considering how quickly Emery has helped them rise up the league. The club is on the up and thats the only things that matters
I've honestly seen loads of respect from other clubs fans m8
Villa is bigger than spurs....Gabby scored a hatrick in 13 minutes at Anfield...no spurs player will ever do that
When did this happen?
â@JackReece-ri5uw that's what I was thinking đ€
When? Were you playing fifa or something? He scored a seven minute hat-trick against Man City in 2008 though.
No mate he didnât
Villa have kept this form for longer than 1 season. Started in 17th half way throughout the season and finished 7th. New season, devastation in the conference league however made a semi final and 4th within the prem. I agree form has dipped throughout with many injuries and challenges and the outcome has still been great. To be so negative its just journalistic nonsense, he knows it will make a headline. Its not easy for any team to achieve a champions league, however the proof is in the pudding. Anything can happen, Win the league or get relegated next season who knows anything can happen. UTV
I am a Villa fan.
Letâs face it chances are we are not going to win the Premiership or Champions League next season.
Canât stop us dreaming.
But letâs look at a few things here.
Man City are still facing serious issues in regards to the charges they face.
The FA and Premier League have backed themselves into a corner with letting the issue fester for so long, so whatever they do now thereâs going to be more serious legal issues coming from the out come either way!
Man United have been declining since Ferguson left absolutely rudderless!
Arsenal bottle it.
Liverpool can win Champions League without winning the premier league.
Chelsea donât know what is going on.
Spurs, big six without winning anything?
Villa, it saddens me to say but will struggle in Europe, but considering some of the injuries weâve had have done ok in what only amounts to a season and a half of Uni Emery.
A European competition semi final and a champions league place from facing relegation?
How would Pep and Klopp do if they werenât there with there resources?
I have said it before, if given time Emery could be a new Ron Saunders!
I think most Villa fans realistically would be content with just being competitive and being in the mix for league, cups and European places!
Arsenal bottlingđ€Šđ»ââïžđ€Šđ»ââïžđ€Šđ»ââïž
As a Villa fan Iâm just enjoying it Iâm not thinking that far ahead but if we got out the group stage and finish in top 6 and have a pop at a domestic trophy next season thatâs about as much as I could wish for
And if we fall short due to the game load we have to accept it
Villa getting there is a great achievement staying there will be an even greater achievement well done.â€
Letâs put this whole thing in perspective. Aside from where we finished 4th, the 3 teams above us all came to villa park and none won at VP, we did the double over the gooners, beat spurs in their own back yard, and all this with masses of injuries whilst never once using that as an excuse, oh and made Man City the likely champions look second best at our place
Simon is clearly a spurs fan soz mate but over the course of a season villa we're the better team.
Bitter sweet
Let's face it Simple Simon is a Know Nothing with a platform. He says things for effect.
Simone your opinion is yours but if Villa sacked Emery that would be toxic. We dont do toxic sorry
While I do predict Villa will struggle next season, as the step up is going to be massive, but I dunno what this clickbait title is suggesting lmao. We Newcastle have had tons of injuries, CL footie, and look to finish round 8-6th. Which is where I could see Villa next season. Unai won't be sacked. If he is, then Villa would look very silly. But doubt.
Durham Villan. Go do UTD tonight m8. Toon Toon
we are more than happy being anywhere near Europe in general
This title is complete click bait trash. He never said the word "sacked" once.
It really threw Simon under the bus, it was a very measured and reasonable discussion
He implied it though
As a Wolves Fan it hurts, but congrats to Villa, I hope you do very well in the Champions League next Season. As Villa are the Midlands second biggest Club, well done.
Ha! Who's the biggest, West Brom?
â@@bertiew6771Walsall
PSR is designed to limit clubs like Villa & Newcastle with wealthy owners from spending and keep the so called Sky 6 dining at the top table. We should be able to spend what we want as long as the club isnt put in debt as a result.
'Recently, when they haven't got results'... Danny's correct to a degree in that we've dropped off vs sensational pre-Xmas form... but then we also took 4pts off Arsenal and Liverpool. We have Newcastle as a cautionary tale. We also have great owners and big ambition. Simon can try to burst that bubble mid-season next season but pipe down for now and let us enjoy the fact we've outperformed United, Spurs, Chelsea, West Ham and everyone else in the perceived Top 6.
Villa are here to stay I'm afraid Simon, so is the man that got them here (obviously)
I think a lot of these experts seriously under rate how good our players are. They talk about how we'll need to spend big to stay still but Spurs, Newcastle, Chelsea & Man Utd will need to spend even bigger just to even catch up with us
just hate for villa theyve put most of our players (wish) they was at the top 6 teams like villa dont deserve them watch how many articles link our players to man u/arsenal/chelsea this transfer window and at villa the players wont get praise the second they play for 1 of them they are worldclass same typical bs fck em!ÂŹ
If you think that Aston Villa go sack the best manager ever had in his history. What a joke man đđđđđ
It's both! Emery has taught us since he arrived to embrace and enjoy the moment, to not fear challenges while keeping an eye on the future and our dreams.
We are all in this together and its the most fun we've had in decades. It makes a difference who leads you and we're being led by a really honest, hardworking, no fuss and incredibly talented Manager who demands excellence from his players and coaches them so they can meet his demands. His coaching and tactical awareness is astounding.
Simon is correct about the challenge but Unai is more likely to get poached than get the sack. The reason for this is because he has a style and will buy players to suit that. The signed players who have delivered quickly have been Unai singings, Pau and Moreno, those who have made it, Bailey and Morgan have made it due to Unai's coaching. Others have struggled a little, such as Duran. So with Mings and Duran to return, it'll only take 3 of 4 Unai signings to keep up momentum, though granted 4th is a big ask next season.
With Klopp leaving, Liverpool might struggle getting a top 4 place. So Villa has a very good chance getting 4th or even better.
Great performance by Villa this season
A massive shout out has to go to the owners. They took over 5 years ago, when Villa were in the Championship and said, we intend for this club to be regular in Europe and challenging and playing in the Champions League. 5 years laterâŠ.
To be continuedâŠ
Shows how out of touch and clueless simon jordan is. That is a man who isnt all there mentally
Simon said the same about newcastle, i wouldnt worry to much about his views đ as for newcastle finishing much further down the table simon? 3 places at most? Not a huge drop off
Oh dear, it seems that the mighty Villa have upset the status quo and Simon is miffed.
So what if they do struggle? Theyâll have ÂŁ120m in the bank and have massively overachieved. Not a single Villa fan will complain if they struggle a bit next year and donât qualify for Europe. They know this has been a fantastic season and theyâre going to have fun next year no matter what happens. Even if they only qualify for the Europa Conference in the future, playing in Europe will give them experience, even if itâs just the schedule. Klopp says constantly that qualifying for the UEFA Cup with Mainz was key in his career, because even though they didnât do amazingly in it, the fans loved it, it made money for the club and it gave him the necessary experience of managing a team across multiple competitions. Players will benefit from it massively too.
Simon is such a sausage
Danny is was last game against West Ham mate not Everton
Great to see a massive Club like Villa playing in the elite competitions. Good for Birmingham as well, there hasn't been a lot to celebrate up that way recently.
Danny is the most half arsed pundit since Lawo......googling "Aston Villa" at the beginning of the show i'd imagine
It is disgusting how this lot on talksport begrudging praise then degrade Villa in favour of normal service for the perceived top six clubs, they do not deserve to commentate on team sports because they are unable to hide their bias for the likes of Chelsea, Man Utd, Man City etc..
The only reason they can find to praise Villa is because the achievement can't be ignored, and having proving this lot of so called useless football commentators so wrong.
This from the same man who said he would "fold like a cheap deck chair".
Everyone said we wouldnt be able to replicate our form from last season as well but Emery proved everyone wrong.
Why not just admit that he's an elite manager and Villa are on the up?
Talksport has hit a new low.
They said the same last year when we finished 7th then said they won't be able to handle
Europe and premier league oh dear he finished 4th playing Thursday Sundays behave
Back handed praise is something we donât want but the media really has no idea of what is happening at Villa Park
How does Simon glaze Eddie Howe last year for reaching CL, who has won absolutely nothing, but is so bitter about Emery who does the same thing and has an insane managerial record with trophies to back. The lad is hung up on something.
Howe is a good manager but overrated because he's English. Emery is a considerably better and more successful coach.
@@johntgw absolutely.
As a toon fan it is great to see clubs like villa and us daring to challenge the so called elite. Good luck to villa in the ECL it is well deserved
There is a much bigger chance that Talk sport sacking Simon Jordan next season than King Emery will be fired from Villađ
I think villa will have a good adventure in the champions league and will have made 65 m out of it, and emerys job will be very safe - might even win CL again ! âœ
Even if Villa do drop off next season I still think they will finish in the top 8 at least.
What with the money the Champions League brings us and our multi Billionaire owners who support our club and manager... We will clear 3 or 4 players out and buy 3 class players and we will challenge for the top 3.... We lost at least 15 points due to set pieces because we've had 3 influencial players out for most of the season .... If Villa get there back line right next season and get 1 or 2 others in we could shock many.....we have to remember there is city Liverpool and Arsenal above us ...I think we could take one of them teams positions... We have ÂŁ105 million to spend because of the sponsorship deals and champions leagues etc... if we sell 3 or 4 we could have ÂŁ150 million to strengthen our squad.... But 8th is just pathetic.... Chelsea and Newcastle will improve next season..
Strange how Villa have got to 4th in the league without buying in Lots of big name players. I trust Emery & Monchi to improve this squad without breaking the bank.
I think ultimately what Simon is saying is let's enjoy the moment, keep expectations in check, and hope the club can continue to progress.
Danny Murphy: âlast day at Everton, last day at Evertonâ
It was West Ham ! For someone who has watched a lot of football he gets some basics wrong.
Bizzaree headline. The words of a mad man.
clickbait at its best
Emery was supposed to come to Newcastle. He got the top marks during the interview but unfortunately Villareal refused to let him go.
Simon Jordan needs to give me his dealers number because he's on some seriously strong stuff
đđđđ
Simple simon says = đ§ â°ïž
Rogers, Ramsay, Tielemans, Duran, Diaby, Buendia will all add massively next season, as will our several signings as well as our talisman Mings at the back. Decimiated by injuries, went further than any other English side and didn't fall away from top 4 as everyone predicted .... Chelsea and Newcastle will improve next year and things will be tougher but we are in the mix and to me a third year of European football , in whatever comp will still be progress.
Funny how people are disagreeing with Simon like we havent seen this story before. Newcastle, Leicester, Tottenham, Bolton, Everton list can go on. We all love an underdog story but history always repeats itself. Aston Villa have your moment, reality kicks in next season and you will be back where you belong...
Set their water mark?? đđ Does he mean bench mark??? đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł Simon Jordan not that bright is he!!!
Not allowed to enjoy anything in this life ffs
Create outrage, a standard media tactic. Be as provocative as you can whilst retaining credibility. He's pushing a fine line with this one.
Injured players will be back.. better players will come in.. UTV
The PL spend every .moment finding ways to protect the Cartel of 6. Terrible really.
Such a comic Simon Jordan, Unai Signed a 5 year extension, im sure both parties are scared of the future! Jordan Is a bit of a wally saying such things, this relationship between AVFC and UE and his team is a marriage made in heaven.
Neither Villa fans nor our Owners are fickle, we are in this for the long haul where there will be ups and downs along the way. We're aware we need to add quality players, we need to increase our squad. The loss in the SF hurt us but will stand us in good stead as we learn from our losses, we dust off and we go again. UTV
4th with half the team missing, emi buendia tyrone mings both out the whole season with an ACL injury. Ramsey and moreno in and out the squad all season with injuries....
As long as everyone is fit next season, they will not struggle
Typical that as soon as Villa get champions league announced, they talk about emery being sacked next season! Talksport is getting worse and worse
Emery is OBVIOUSLY manager of the year. And Villa are bigger than Spurs and Newcastle, so theyre more likely to stay up there.
Liverpool fan but I'm glad Villa are back in the European Cup, it's great to see new faces in the competition and under Emery... who knows? he's a european genius. They're atleast gonna play eight games so it will be fun to see how they get on.
Emery is a top class manager, canât see Villa letting him go.
Best finish in 40 years and before the last games even played theyre on about our manager being sacked, no integrity, all just rage baiting for clicks, youre all old men ffs grow up.
He's annoying, but he makes good points. Where are Leicester now? Where did Newcastle finish this season?
If they back Emery, then perhaps it will be different, but they will absolutely have to back him to the hilt, to have any chance of doing as well, or better, next season.
Heâs not wrong. If they finish 6th or lower next season the fans will be demanding he go. Once teams over achieve these days the fans expect it all the time and want change when thatâs not the case.
haven't watched the video yet but I agree with the premise of the video title. Ranieri's "credit in the bank" didn't last long
Ranieri's credit in the bank didn't last long because he spent it on "Pizza" đ
Yeah but after all the oil barrels Eddie WHO has spilled, he still deserves 5 years right??
Embarrassing
Wtf you waffling about again?? Why are you obsessed with criticising anything English, you sad act? Get a new thing, this one is boring, and just gets you laughed at daily
Makes no sense đ
Talking nonsense again? đ
Look where Chelsea were last season despite outstanding Newcastle. Man Utd will be below Newcastle this season despite spending more than them. It took Arteta 3 and a bit years and hundreds of millions to finish in the top 4. Villa have overachieved massively and all credit to them but it's honestly baffling that people can't see that Newcastle finishing fourth last season was a great achievement as well as another European finish again this season.
Amazing achievement for Villa - really happy for them!
Simon wake up and smell the coffee on emery. Heâs elite full stop
Let's not forget 90% of this squad isn't his, the core players are mostly Dean Smiths.
Wait till he puts his true stamp on the team, with even better players
With the revenue created with our new kit deal, new sponsorship deal, PL place money, Champions League money, extra sponsorship money and gate receipts for being in Champions League, its over an extra ÂŁ100m. Villa will strengthen their squad in the summer, get rid of players that aren't required anymore and have players back from long term injuries.
Villa have two years in a row now above spurs and chelsea. Talk about them failing not the potential for villa to fail cuz of elite 6 love in. Villa are building just like them.
Simon Jordan....Newcastle's aim was to finish 4th, theyve finished much further down the table...worst possible finish would be 8th. With the injuries we've had, 8th would be decent. Well done Villa, enjoy the ride.
For those being critical of Simon you clearly haven't listened to the panel discussion. It was all fair commentary.
