I love listening to Simon Jordan. However, Villa fans would happily 'struggle' each season to get Champions League football under Emery, because that is a million miles better than where we were before.
Getting top 4 isnât struggling?
Man I'll happily take 3 to 5 seasons of getting into the CL and getting knocked out in the group stage, easing up the rest of the fixture list to be able to qualify again.
It's all about catching up at least a bit financially, to eventually be able to put a squad and a club together to really compete.
ââ@@outofthetrash5925I feel the same way and would be more happier if they got to the last 16 cause there's money there and try again the following season
Tbh we consider success to be getting champions league year on year, so game on. Weâll just see what happens next season. And the end of this season of course.
What has Simon jordan done for football?what does he know?f.all
Didn't Simon say Villa wouldn't lay a glove on Arsenal and 4th is more or less guaranteed for Spurs. Take his words with a pinch of sault
Most of us thought we wouldn't lay a glove on arsenal either...
Not many Villa fans expected even a point from that game pre kickoff.
Where can one acquire a pinch of sault?
"...a pinch of SAULT?"
Do you do the titles for Talksport by any chance? đ
He also said Chelsea would be winning the premier league title within the next 2 years? I wonder how intelligent is actually is?
Mr Anti Villa talking absolute tripe again
Heâs anti anyone who isnât a media club
He actually likes the villa. His said it plenty of times
They're playing Devil's Advocate it's the premise of talk sport and most radio stations
Yeahhhhh, he's just a straight hater that's all and he's hoping that villa don't make it! He needs to shut his mouth and fall back the lil muppet đ
First 18 months ago Simon said Villa will struggle to get into Europe, 8 months later in August he said they wouldn't be able to juggle the league with Europe, then he said Newcastle will finish 4th, the, a month ago, he said Spurs was his favourite to finish 4th. His pal Goldstein and other of his colleagues said only last week that Emery would 'jump' at a chance to join a 'big' club. Now. Liverpool, Bayern Munich and possibly Man Utd are looking for managers and Emery has extended his contract a Villa. Them at talk-sport has been consistently wrong!?!!
Facts
You think a contract extension means Emery will stay at Villa?
Manchester United are in turmoil but itâs hard to see him turning down Bayern Munich or Liverpool.
Uni Emery have full control of all football matters at VP whereas at any other club he wouldn't have control and that's why he won't leave Villa.â@@blackkid128
You don't even realise or know how deep Unai Emery is at Villa The clubs even a majority stake holder in Emery's own football club, why would he go to a club in tourmil like utd and risk doing another Arsenal. He good were he isâ@@blackkid128
@@blackkid128 He no interest in Liverpool, Bayern Munich or Manchester United. Watch his interviews, he wants to win things at Aston Villa. Better still do some research on Aston Villa before commenting.
Well thatâs us consistently competing for top four then
pin this to laugh later.
He also said Newcastle would struggle to finish top 4 regularly, was he wrong?
Hes a Mr know it all this guy
@@noelfinn797 Stevie Wonder song
@JordiBoy_ They won't so its moot argument
FFP just protects the Giants from teams like Villa and Newcastle having a go.
Or in Forest's situation having a team that's not full of loanees that is capable of staying in the PL
Absolute nonsense!! You can have a go by developing young players and make clever signings, sell for big money and buy three players more. You seem to want mega rich people using our clubs like toys, who have no link or connection to the club or the community. Who just come in and wipe away decades worth of failur over night and actually create a farmers league themselves by billions with no consequences. So how do you compete with them people?.
When they run out of money and the club goes down to league one youâll be stood there with an empty look on your face. Letâs act responsibly, the big clubs are big because of decades worth of success.
@@adammohamed.. Not true, Arsenal were successful because of the Bank of England investing lots of money. Man Utd had rich investors in Matt Busbyâs reign and in SAF reign, Liverpool were spending lots of money to get out of the second tier league in Bill Shanklys time which lead to a dynasty, Chelsea had an oligarch funding them when they were a bang average football club before, Man City have the backing of the UAE. So you are speaking absolute nonsense
@@adammohamed.. in Forest's case we went from bottom of the championship in winter to winning the playoffs in the summer with a team of young loanees from and young talent like Brennan Johnson. You telling me we should have surrendered our PL status and done a Sheff Utd. We would have had to fill the squad with cast offs that their home team didn't want. Forest has more European trophies than Arsenal btw
@@JuliusSeizure-tw6mi how much did Seaman , Dixon Winterburn , Donkey Adsms & Bold cost ? Who are these mega signings from Arsenal ? Bergkamp ÂŁ7m & Wright ÂŁ2.2m is all I can think of. Arsenal were a successful legacy club who generated their own wealth.
And Investors in the 1950s ? The first club went on the stock market in 1982 and that was Tottenham. There was a maximum, yes maximum wage in the 50s. Iâm sure youâre making this up or just plain and simple lying
Liverpool sold keegan & Rush to fund spending. This has the be the dumbest reply Iâve ever read. And thankfully itâs in my email so I can look back on it. This is why you should never let the fans get involved in football. Chelsea & City is all you got right & that should not have been allowed a Russian gangster and an autocratic government. NO THANKS!
I would imagine Aston Villa FC do not take onboard the thoughts of some previous failed football owner now 2 bob radio disc jockey tbh
Simon and Danny on this one? Just missing Andy Goldstein and you have the trifecta of Villa haters!
Simon usually is very complimentary towards us though
@@JuliusSeizure-tw6mi Yeah, just before he down plays Villas potential and chance.
Not hard to hate the club when the fans are as insufferable as they are. SOB on the TYNE and all that. Very spiteful and tinpot behaviour
@@YouAimYourArrowsHigh Will you get over that? 15 years agoâŠ
@@JuliusSeizure-tw6mi just saying it was ridiculous behaviour and not the first time. So I think people are allowed to have a negative view on a club. But tbh, I don't think they even criticised Villa here.
I think it's true, you've capitalised on teams like Man Utd and Chelsea misfiring, Spurs going through a reset and Newcastle juggling European football with a half a squad injured. You've also had a lot of flukey wins this season and arguably deserved to get dumped out by Lille.
And it only gets harder from here on. If you're already losing to Lille and Prague then what are PSG, Bayern and Madrid going to do to you?
As a Villa fan, I agree with Simon, its not going to be easy but it isn't for any team. But most importantly we are aware of the challenges from a team and from a business perspective. And we genuinely look forward to these challenges.
I think becoming a team that consistently gets Champions League isn't realistic for any team, however fighting for it every season is. We are basically there already, if Emery was in charge for all of last season we may well have finished higher. But it means that every season we go into, we want to be challenging for those top 4 spots, not necessarily locking them down as I agree, that is exceptionally hard and in recent history only Man City have consistently done tht. This means finishing anywhere from 1-7th really and I think that is totally realistic, especially as, over the last 2 seasons, we have achieved that. With ManUre, Liverpool and Chelsea being far off it, why can't we?
Why would everyone love us to fail?
It's exactly the same situation as Newcastle.
The media see a new team that can realistically compete with the Sky 6 and they don't like it so they try and say everything they can to bring them down.
Before today it was all "Villa wont be able to keep Emery if one of the big boys come knocking" and once that theory goes out the window it becomes "Villa wont be able to compete under Emery".
It's laughable honestly.
Let the results do the talking instead of your biases.
I can't say that this opinion concerns me - I could list all the times that Simon Jordan has been wrong about Villa this season but I dont have enough time in the day.
Everytime sky show the table it was top 4, then Villa got into top 4 and it became top 3. I personally don't care but their bias is appalling.
The London folks canât stand the folks from the North or the ones from the SouthâŠu r considered 2nd đ„ classâŒïžđ
Remember that awful UnDErlYIng NUmBerS video from the Athletic calling us a lucky mid table club? I like to comment occasionally to remind them of that howler. We're back and people have sore backsides.
@@straightouttacornwall It's like we're a phantom club sometimes with these numpties
@@19822andytbf the Athletic one was more clickbait. When you actually watched the whole video they were mostly positive about Villa
I can remember a month or two ago when Simon and Danny both said they can't see the Villa staying where they are and will fall off and finish 7th or 8th đ€
What does Jordan know, he flip flops more than Ghandi
Probably the only pundit who said Newcastle wouldn't retain top 4
I can't put my finger on whether he likes us or not! 1 weeks his pro Villa then down playing us the next đ I do like Simon tho đđđŸ
was the Mahatma known as a flip-flopper? i'm not even sure that was a thing back in his day. hmm
â@@dane_djesssherwood5006I think he's just trying to be realistic. It's probably only us Villa fans think we could do it back to back.
@@dane_djesssherwood5006 He's not there to like anyone he''s there to give an opinion. Doesn't mean he will get it right as any pundit. I'm amazed how fans take this stuff personally. Not saying you are. I'm a Utd fan he bangs on about us all the time, I mostly agree with him. If I don't I'm not taking it personally.
Remember TalkSPORT saying last season that being in the Europa Conference league would hinder our progress in the Prem đ
Yet a year later weâre in the top 4, 6 points clear of 5th and in a European semi final đ
They were probably looking at West Ham as a comparison, without factoring in that you actually do have a decent manager.
This is why FFP needs to change fast.
Why do clubs like Chelsea and Man Utd get to constantly fail and yet spend much more money than teams like Villa and Newcastle who are outperfoming them?
Its a closed shop that needs to change.
Because they still have a massive international fanbase which gets them the best deals and sales. It's not a yearly earning thing
@@AbyStronger Then that needs to change. There has to be something that allows the league to be more competitive for clubs outside of the top 6 or nothing will ever change.
@@joebees21let clubs spend what they like as long as they donât go bust
â@@joebees21such as?
@@joebees21 Agreed. But honestly that will require them to fail consistently further, for example look at arsenal. They were able to somewhat return due to the reserves
I am tired of this "Villa is only in the top 4 because other teams are struggling" nonsense. Even if Villa "only" win 2 of the last 4 games that puts us on 72 points which is more then
Newcastle, Liverpool, Spurs and Chelsea got last season
Spurs, Arsenal and United got in the 21/22 season
Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal got in the 20/21 season
United, Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal got in the 19/20 season
And I could keep going. So lets not pretend that this is some one off season where the "Sky 6" are suddenly struggling. Facts say that every single season at least 3 of those don't get above 71 points. So that's what Villa have to do, get to 71 points and Champions league should be almost guaranteed, REGARDLESS of what the "sky 6" do.
And as far as FFP goes, well I think the likes of Man United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Newcastle and Spurs have proven that just because you have the means of spending a lot and they have, that does not guarantee success on the pitch. All of those clubs have spent a lot more then Villa in the last 5 years especially when you consider 2/3 of Villa's spending was done in the 19/20 and 20/21 seasons, mostly out of necessity.
So Villa getting top 4 is NOT predicated on what the "Sky 6" do but on what ASTON VILLA does, and believe me, You haven't seen anything yet.
So up Unai Emery's Mighty ASTON VILLA and stop all this BS talk.
UTV!
Excellent comment
UTFV!! Great comment đđ
I think putting newcastle into the spending a lot category is bit disengenous because we were in a relegation battle with a team who hadn't had any investment for 10 years. I think long term we have better players and you have a better squad it will be interesting to see what happens next season but champions league football is really difficult 6 extra games playing your best 11.
@@edpurdy1808 Fair enough, maybe putting them in there wasn't right. Question, do you think if you had been playing the likes of Copenhagen, PSV, Zvezda, Young boys, Lens or Sevilla that you would have played your best 11 every game? Because those were the teams the other English clubs were playing and honestly I can't see them being much if any better then the likes of Ajax and LOSC which Villa played.
@@hssIceland Iâm not denying that u can have an easy group but u still need to get the business done and itâs so important that you end up playing you best team even against the worse opponents because then when you have Bayern or psg itâs harder to get the points.
Jordan's right... we will be top 3 !
Okay, chill out đ
same person that said he didnât see villa beating arsenal? 2024/25 premier league title challenge confirmed đ
He also said Newcastle would struggle to get top 4 again, was he wrong?
Newcastle are not Villa.
@@JRK2669no pundit knows that a fact, sooner or later someone pins the tail onto the donkey. Next season will be interesting, can Man Utd recover, how will Liverpool perform under a new manager?
â@SebulReath You're right, Newcastle have Saudi wealth to spend and struggled to maintain top 4. Why do you think Villa will be any different.
@PL-ev2mw There's always one team that overachieves, Villa are that team this year. Will be found out when they have to balance the league with UCL. They don't even have the wealth like Newcastle do too buy who they want
We have got three new players for next season already, Mings, Buendia and Ramsay. đ
And the new young Right Back we sent back on loan, he's highly regarded across Europe! UTV!
Johny Cash the right back.
Reminds me of trippier.
Kamara back as well back by end of year .
Ouf... 4 new signings that aren't new signings! Lest we forget we still have PHILIPE FLIPPIN COUTINIHO on the books đ€Ł
â@SonarFates we should buy the 20 year old RB from Lille, he looked quality
Newcastle are above Man United and Chelsea. Someone remind Simon, Danny and Jim, please.
He also said weâd lose to ArsenalâŠ
This lot don't realise Villa have been plagued with injuries this season without complaint but have still beat Arsenal twice and played Man City of the park. Short of a couple of bad decisions Villa would be in for shot of the title.
We donât expect CL every season. The only thing us Villa fans want is to be challenging Top 6 like we should.
they need a 60k seat stadium. and a reworking of the FFP rules, which is a racket as it stands now. we'll get there. Up the Villa!
Setidaknya saat ini Aston Villa berada di posisi yang lebih baik dari tahun2 sebelumnya.. setiap tim pasti akan menghadapi masalah di tiap tahunnya.. apapun pendapatnya, as a villa fan, i just can say Up The Villa..!!
I HATE when people I.e. Danny Murphy, say weâll struggle with champions league football and the league. Weâve shown that we can⊠weâre in the semi final of the conference league and pushing for top 4⊠weâve lost 1 game after playing in Europe on a thursday... 10 games and lost 1âŠ. We have the best manager for managing European competitions in the world. Put some respect in Villas and Emeryâs name
I would love for Aston Villa to drive a wedge through the top 4 repeatedly and work their way up to be a European Regular
You all keep writing us off and that's fine by me,IL get the custard and the humble pie when things turn out different,UTV,
I love that Danny Murphy looks down and pretends to be busy when Simon criticises his buddy Gerrard, instead of giving an impartial opinion and contributing to the Gerrard clanger
Historically Villa are one of the most successful clubs in the country in terms of winning trophies. They say everything is cyclical, they are coming around again. I sense big things coming for Villa.
no it will not be straight forward, because the sky six and premier league is a closed shop now, where villa and newcastle are not allowed
Opinion rejected. UTV
What people seem to be missing is villas style. Theyve coped with injuries, theyve coped with europe, theyll cope with champions league next year. Why? Because of their style of play. They control the games. Regardless of investment, regardless of anything, they arent going away.
Exactly. By controlling the ball we're no longer chasing the game and tiring ourselves out. Therefore we have more energy in that last 15 minutes
Yea it's good for our players to have a little bit of rest also during the game I've heard that Emi has had the ball for 90 minutes or something like that he's had it the most in the league that's for certain which helps us with the tough schedule especially with our injuries
As a Villa fan, im just happy to see that we are moving in the right direction in all areas of the club. Business wise, structure wise, players and recruitment , manager and coaching staff and dont forget the fans. Building the fan base is being overlooked . Every area and position of the club has the right person in place to take Villa into a stronger position. UTV
They said Chelsea would get better last season and they didnât no team has a right to be in the the top 4 and Chelsea especially are in big financial trouble they will have to sell players before they can think about buying anyone. One of those big teams can fall itâs happened before and it probably will happen again why canât a team like Villa or Newcastle be the one to take their place.
What makes this more impresisve for villa is no mings or buendia all season. Kamara for not half season with ACL and ramsey for virtually all season. Villa will only get better if CL is achieved
Is it me or is Danny Murphy slowly morphing into a talking tortoise on a drug downerđł
Never understand why they say Bruno doesnât have the legs and heâs not a top athlete where do they get this from ?
@@JordiBoy_ okay jordi boy give you head a wobble
If he was playing for Liverpool, he'd be the best in the world in dickhead Danny's head
Jordan constantly changes his tune when hes wrong, he said Emery would be the wrong appointment hes wrong now hes saying we will struggle, he changes like the wind.. BORINGGGG
The same points about Sky Six teams not performing were being said last season too, we were told it would never happen again as those clubs would inevitably get stronger. Well guess what, a season later and they're still not performing. How many seasons do we go until the MSM realise that some of their favourites have fallen for good? UTV!
I've been laughed at for years when I explained where our owners wanted to take us. Looks like I have the last laugh. UTV VTID
Villa have alot of quality players on the treatment table.
And are still having a fantastic Season and have been fantastic since Emery took the helm. Add
Byendia Mings Ramsey kamarra and you have more quality to pick from.
Villa are going places and these pundits just dont want to admit it that Villa are on the cusp of a very succesfull period in the clubs history.
Remember 4-5 years ago our new owners took on a broken club in despair and constructed a 5 year plan to steadily improve the club from the ground up to take us to Europe and to take us to heights my generation had never seen. Yeah, weâve took our time building it up in a sustainable manner and I donât see them stopping there. This is no flash in the pan. I have complete faith in this football club and man, I am loving every minute of this incredible journey!
Most of these pundits on Talk sport are just clickbaiters or Masterbaiters
Truth hurts
You almost said something bad there
Fair assessment. A bit âclickbaityâ⊠But fair
He's right though, as he was right about Newcastle struggling with the demands of UCL football, and they have Saudi money to spend
Can see parallels with Newcastle this season - Made the CL but struggled with 2-3 high intesity games a week, despite investing the money to significantly enhance strength and depth of their first team.
W
You honestly see parallels?
Difference in the Managers though.
Doesn't really parallel with Newcastle as villa are playing in the conference league this season and have played over 50 games already this season. Only behind man city and arsenal in terms of games played. So in terms of dealing with the timetable it is about the same as this season. In terms of quality they face next season, that will be a difference.
@@cudiwilson A massive difference between Conference League and Champions League though.
Villa were in danger of becoming a big club after they won the league and the European Cup in the 1980s with a young team. I was in Birmingham the day their chairman 'Deadly' Doug Ellis fired Ron Saunders the manager, Everybody agreed it was a mistake and the club has never recovered. Ellis held Villa back. They have a metropolitan population of around 4.3 million people and no significant local competition. If they are run properly they could become one of the biggest clubs in the country.
Saunders resigned. Although that was down to Ellis.
Every club that isn't Man City struggle to consistently get top 4 at the moment
Sir Simon = Top LAD Proper Clobber đŻ Facts
Sir Spectre and Sir Simon = Top LADS Proper Clobber
Danny Murphy has spoken sense and Simon Jordan is quite positive about Villa often. So far the ownership has delivered on their targets ahead of schedule. Villa have already compounded expectations this season considering injuries and a minor European competition. To achieve what they have after Beale left Villa is extraordinary.
This was all said about Man City when it was Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool as top 4 teams and look what happened.
Idk, the only times Iâve seen villa struggle this season were with fatigue, a major injury in the match (eg Mings vs Newcastle), Robin Olsen in goal, or experimental formations (5-back vs spurs).
Worth remembering too, Emery has done this with the bulk of players signed by Dean smith / Gerrard when we were bottom half. The captain was signed under Steve Bruce in the championship.
They just donât get it âŠâŠ. Lolđđđđđ
As a villa fan I would take top 7 finish in most seasons going forward and if qualification for the champions league happens it's a bonus
The same Simon Jordan said we had no chance getting a result against Arsenal about 10 days ago so lets see, but realistically you dont need loads of money in order to get (or buy) success you neeed great scouting/signings and a world class manager alonside elite ownership and an amazing structure from top to bottom which i beleive we now have, money doesnt guarantee anything look at Chelsea........
Simon is such a beacon of positivity!đ
Nothing to worry about lads, Jordan thought Arsenal would run us through.
Same man who predicted us to get battered at Arsenal, Simon doesnât have a scooby
My favourite part of this clip, Jim White to Simon Jordan "Sorry, are we keeping you out?" Jordan "a little". LOL!!
I for one, as a Villan, am pleased pundits and SKY etc keep writing us off, that's when we are at our best. UTV!!
It was Danny Murphy that said Bruno does have the legs, which was a ridiculous statement.
What an utter load of shite, as per usual Villa dont get any credit or the manager, not once has he moaned about injuries weve lost 5 of first team starters for all of the season. I hate the main stream press.
If Simon says he thinks it's going to be raining tomorrow, get out your suntan lotion and your deck chairs.
Stats SimonâŠstatsâŠ. This dude has some deep resentment from back in the day.
As a Villa fan I think the supporter base is far more realistic than Newcastle or Spurs. In reality a top half finish is decent given the competitive nature of the league and then push for the European places. In some exceptional years they will hopefully get CL football. Of course we have to keep in mind that Man Utd and Chelsea have been tepid at best this year and they will likely improve. Also there is some kind of conspiracy to keep Everton in the Prem and they will also do better at some point sadly. Throw in Newcastle, Spurs, Leeds, West Ham and other teams of similar size and finishing 4th every year becomes a tall order. Fingers crossed for this year!
Villa NOT finishing in the top 4 is hardly a disaster?! đđđđ
The only difference between this season and the possibility of Champions League next season is the quality of the opposition we face in the mid week games and the places we need to go to for those games.
We are playing in Europe already. i think the TuesWed nights will be better for us.
I don't agree with Simon but I understand the point he's making. There are bigger boys in PL who will come strong in the next few years. But people were doubting Villa will be able to finish in the top 8 this year, with the Conference Lg schedule added. Even with the crazy amount of injuries, Unai and the team have proven they're top quality. If they can secure top 4, the additional funds and the bigger profile will help them improve their squad. I fully trust Unai at this point, there is not an ounce of reason to doubt him. UTV!
Villa will be challenging again next season. Get ya bets on!!
We weren't supposed to compete for it this year either were we?
I wish people would stop saying "Youneye Emery" and "Unai Emeray" Its "ooon-eye em-er-ree"
as an aston villa fan i want us to just keep around the top 7 and go on some cup runs thats all, top 4 is a just a bonus... we dont expect top 4 we just expect some sort of European football
Oh shut up Simon!
1st you say Villa will struggle this season to juggle the prem and ECL âïž WRONG!
2nd you said you believe Spurs will finish above Villa âïž WRONG!
3rd you said, Emery would leavd for a so called bigger club âïž WRONG! He goes on to extend his contract đđđ
4thly you said we may drop off if we get injuries... this list goes on! Just be quiet will you đđđ
We have Unai emery, and we will be in and around 1 -7 in the league competing in Europe, thats good enough for me.
He also gave us no chance against Arsenal he's been consistently wrong about Villa
@@dennisgoatimer1079 The guy is an absolute plonker.
Thumbs down for volume of the jingle at the end
He said last week he could see villa staying where they are because of our owners and the structure of the club. What a clown đ€Ą
Our owners are the 4th/5th richest owners in the league FFP stops our owners flexing their financial muscle, but they are sporting owners in it for the long term. Already doubled our income for next season, the media donât want us invading the Sky6
I'll take the Gerrard mistake because he kept the seat warm until such time as we could get Emery. Unai may not have been willing to come at the time we hired Gerrard. I'll take the Gerrard tenture considering where it took us.
Get rid of FFp & we will see Newcastle & Villa in the top 4 on a regualr basis .
How does he know, the only time hes had anything to do with football was in the champuonship.
Aston Villa were the original Big Club. (If you know your football history) No reason why they should not believe they can get back there.
He also believed that arsenal would beat villa comfortably đđ
Don't disagree tbh and I'm a Villa fan. I think the top 4/5 will constantly change each season with about 8 teams challenging.
Simon does talk tripe. And onions too.
In all honesty, none of us know the future of our clubs, that's what makes it the worlds greatest sport.
Alex Baena ÂŁ50 Million to Villa.
Yet his total tally since he come he is ranked 4th
Thatâs consistency
Really?? are villa "only there because other teams failed,?,arsenal,man City both beat.... man u played/ got lucky, got how many points in London?
Completely overlooking the fact that under Emery Villas points gained have averaged 4th position...not just this season but last season too.
He came in last season inheriting a relegation threatened team and got them into Europe finishing 7th.
This season adding in the signings of Diaby, Torres and Zaniolo(whilst losing three players to acl injuries)weve improved upon last season and are set to finish 4th plus in European semi final.
Comparing us to West Ham pre season and now Newcastle for next if were in the Champions League.....Emery is not Moyes or Howe...hes managed a thousand games plus, success at multiple clubs, consistently acheived in Europe and the league.
Last week: Would Emery go to United
*Emery signs new contract*
This Week: Villa will not be consistant đ
He said last week we are built for top 4 with the infrastructure, now he hays this what a Muppet.đ
Bear in mind villa have had no mings/ buendia all season, and no Ramsey/ Kamara for much of the season. All these to return in addition to any new signings
If Simon Jordan thinks Villa will struggle to maintain its level, then this guaranteed unmitigated long-term success for the club!
Simon said Chelsea would finish in the top 4 this season so I wouldn't take his predictions too seriously.
Hugely ignorant section in everything they said here
I'm no villa fan but games like that (v olympiakos) make me seriously question watching the far from beautiful modern game. By huge contrast the two Champions League Semis were a pleasure to watch. The refs let the game flow, I didnt see the ref in the players faces once. Now I realise why - no English team in either. When theres an English team 1. sky's commentators wetting themselves when the opposition score and agreeing with every decision AGAINST the English side. 2. The referee never lets the game flow. The opposition dive and get in refs face. He reacts by getting in the English teams faces and booking over half the team (you couldnt make it up!) The pundits and commentators ignore it all and act like scared disloyal mice. 3. At the away leg - the English fans get 200 seats 250 feet up in the rafters behind screens and nets (you fans should boycott!). You know the FA will be backing this 100%. The unmanly behaviour of the players was disgusting. The disgraceful euro ref and var makes the English refs look semi competent. Certainly wont be watching the 2nd leg, which on doubt willl be bias on steroids. You so-called men are being laughed at, stop lying down and taking these insults, vote with your feet.
Used to like Goldstain until he managed to turn the positive of villa doing the double over arsenal into a phone in on "will emery leave for one of the big 6 and would you have him " ... watta nobhead .. meanwhile back in reality instead of going to united Unai signed a contract extension to 27
When the owners took over they wanted champs league in 5 years and we are on the verge hopefully. This team has barely begun, most of them started with us at a young age and are coming into their prime like Konsa, Luis, Watkins, mcginn. They are a great base to build from in the next stage. The youth set up is in good hands to as is the recruitment so itâs barely begun. The likes off united, Chelsea, Liverpool are in transition and you never know how that will go, the manager is crucial. If Pep goes then there are a fair few clubs that are knocking on the door. It could mean a level playing ground and as Unai is possibly one of the top 2 -3,managers in the league anything could happen. It could depend on what money we can generate as we grow although Unai seems to be a very good coach when given the raw materials not necessarily the already proven players.
Villa have had a great season for a team like this but realistically theyâre a top half team at best but considering where theyâve been for the last few years the team and especially the fans will be more than happy with that đ
Is Rodri more mobile than Bruno G?
MANAGER OF THE SEASON WITHOUT DOUBT
The exciting thing about this clip for villa fans is that Simon Jordan is almost always wrong in his predictions
This panel have proved all season that they are consistently wrong about villa. Simon Jordan especially is always wrong about them
Get used to Villa being in the mix. Massively wealthy owners, Altairos investment recently who are linked to Comcast, revenue starting to rapidly rise off the pitch, world class manager.
Can't wait for Unai to put all these doubters in their place âïžđđ UTV
What does Simon know he said we wouldnt beat Arsenal
