Annoying we have two matches up against the shite football he chooses to play 
Aston Villa appoint Unai Emery as manager
- Thread starter DavidDeSchmikes
- Start date
Impressive work by Villa. It's going to be tough for Unai to break into the top six next season, but the point of it all is try.
How predictable, we play them 2 games. fecking Villa
Solid manager. Think this is a really good appointment for Villa
Wow wasn't expecting this at all. Pretty good appointment.
How the hell has Villa managed this?
Would you really class it as a step up from Villarreal to villa? He was obviously who they wanted which is why they paid compensation to get him. Hopefully they don’t gain to much confidence in time to face us.
He left the real villa for the fake one
I'm guessing colossal amounts of money make it a perfect move for Emery
This is like a Football Manager save when you make up arbitrary challenges for your career like "manage all teams with Villa in the name"
Anyway, good appointment for them.

I see nobody said Good Ebening yet!
FFS. First two games against us too. New manager bounce + him being a bogey manager against us doesn’t bode well.
Surprised they managed to secure such a good manager.
This was rather...unexpected to say the least.
Why the hell would you turn down Newcastle and take Villa job ?
Great appointment and a shame we have to play Aston Billa twice in November during his new manager bounce period.
Cannot imagine for a second why anyone would not want to work for Newcastle’s ownership.
Didn't United beat his Villarreal side home and away last season?
Weird loser mentality. Who the fck cares what version of Villa we face, we gotta beat them every time.Classic. We play the twats twice in succession.
Arsenal, City and Chelsea get to play a Sacky G in free fall while we get Unai fecking Emery
Great appointment for Villa
Must have offered him a decent transfer kitty for him to take this job.

Weird the people who don't rate him IMO. Surreally good appointment for Villa.
The Spanish Loki’s back
Good ebenin.
Which makes it strange why they went with Gerrard in the first place. Not too long ago they were being praised for managing the club excellently
I think Gerrard stock was high when he won title with Rangers and there was bit of hype. This looks a proper appointment.
Emery always looks like he's in need of a shit on the touchline. That's all I have to contribute to this.
Anyway we're gonna be out of the fa cup aren't we?
Poch is probably waiting for a big club to come calling. He will be waiting a while, too.
Conor Moore will love this.
This is a great appointment and they have all the ingredients to punch above their weight under him. Wolves missed a trick here if they couldn't convince him while flirting with every other choice.
Newcastle, United and Brighton is a tough set of fixtures for him before the WC break. At least 6 points is a must for your top 6 ventures @FootballHQ
What an upgrade for Villa.
I wasn't being entirely serious when I said that.
Due to the wonders of Brexit we're going to have to wait to get a work permit for EU national so Emery won't be on touchline v Newcastle. Lose that and Newcastle will go 12 points clear of us so we aren't finishing ahead of them and Newcastle still wouldn't be seen as locks to finish top 6 themselves.
What I meant by league position we've had a kind run of fixtures to start off with. We took 2 points from Bournemouth, Fulham, Forest, Leeds and West Ham. Hopefully an Emery standard manager will be capable of 8-9 points from that run in 12 months time and that's how you get in contention for 6th-7th.
The real Villa has the European Cup.
Good underrated coach
Good appointment
Good appointment
Excellent appointment for Villa and great addition to the Premier League. Shame he's coming just when we're about to play them (twice) so it'll be much tougher challenge than it was supposed to be.
Wonder where he'll live. Alum rock, Nechells, Aston & Newtown are good proximity to Villa Park

Aye, I'm kidding with you. I do think that this small period before the WC is vital for a few teams in the same boat as us both though. Win at least two games before that and you're in a very different place than if you lose or draw all them.
