Aston Villa appoint Unai Emery as manager

[Hughes35]

Was a lot of negativity on the radio this morning about the announcement, I found it strange.

I think he's a really good appointment for them.

Also.......... What have I missed with all the Good Ebening jokes?

Do you have some Data to supoort this joke?

Its the way he says "good evening" with his accent. "Birst of ball good ebening" = first of all good evening. Also there is some very nice bilingual joke on twitter about it and Buendia(that is also good evening).

 

[horsechoker]

Jaja!

 

[Charrockero]

I am reading Spanish press and some are infuriated that a low tier team from the Premier League is able to hire mid-season a manager like Emery and that La Liga teams are unable to do anything about it.

Yes, the Premier League is the actual Super League.

 

[CallyRed]

Need to make sure there's a good ebening on every page in this thread.

 

[NewYorkRed]

Of course he gets appointed before we play them twice in a few days. Can’t stand his defensive set up. Weird but good appointment for them.

 

[Andy_Cole]

Semi final of the CL with Villereal and then Villa? Surely could’ve got better.

 

[The Purley King]

He will do well I think although hopefully not in the games against us.
He definitely has an Alan Partidge look about him sometimes that is hard to shift from my mind…….

 

[Lay]

He’s had big jobs with Arsenal and PSG. I thought he did decent with both - though probably remembered more for the Europa final defeat to Chelsea and with PSG the 6-1 capitulation against Barcelona.

I rate him but his level is around about here. Maybe a tad better aka a europa league team

 

[(...)]

Very good appointment for Villa, he can definitely bring them results and good cup runs. If he had been backed by Arsenal like they backed Arteta, he could probably have done better.

 

[The Brown Bull]

Good manager, he’s got a good record too apart from Arsenal .Villa lucky to get him.

 

[MUFC OK]

2 of his first 3 against us. Hm, we don’t have the best record against him, do we

 

[Irrational.]

I hate this man.

 

[Sylar]

I blame gerrard

 

[SAF is the GOAT]

Take that you bloody cnut

 

[horsechoker]

Good evening

 

[ShinjiNinja26]

Taught Conte a lesson.

 

[Gfooty]

The Dracula effect?

 

[cesc's_mullet]

Good evening

*ebening

 

[dabronxolivera]

Aston Villa should thank the stars they managed to land a manager as good as him. Going from gerrard to him is like going from prius to ferrari

 

[Pogue Mahone]

The Dracula effect?

When you already look a bit like Dracula what the hell goes through a person’s mind when choosing to buy/wear that coat?

 

[BorisManUtd]

I hate him for beating us few times (well, for EL final mostly) but Emery's obviously a good manager and good addition to the league. And when he beats our rivals I'm okay with him I guess.

 

[Samid]

Good evening

 

[Man-United]

Good evening

Hi Sammy

 

[Nero]

They got their win against United before the world cup, on the beach now.

 

[Chairman Steve]

In the words of ETH… Heh!

Can’t believe Dendoncker is still playing for a Premier League team. I’d rather have Clive Mendonca play at his age of 50-something.

 

[FootballHQ]

B + for the league results so far.

Very much a D_ for the two cup games.

Not like we just got mugged at the end, Stevenage gave it a real go and should've scored earlier in the game.

 

[Chairman Steve]

Impromptu Villa Talk goes into meltdown (NOTE: They have autocorrect filters for naughty words if you get confused reading)



Penalty to Stevenage

Right what the ****

Dendoncker Jesus Christ

Steroids Romeo Beckham really messed up there. That was pathetic.

Hahahaaaaa

Why are we such a clown show club

Dendonkey, absolute shit player.

1-1

They deserve that

So embarassing.

We deserve to have to play a replay simply because we have been utter shit.

Unai isn't blameless either, play a decent **** line up in the cup, don't fanny around

Imagine if Bailey had managed to make contact with one of his half dozen shots.

We might lose my god

Need to hold on for a replay now

Fair play to them. They stayed in the game, let us f+ck about and got the equaliser. Good stuff. Should be a lesson learned but we’ve been here before

1-2

Bailey giving it away yet again. **** him off.

Jesus.

That's the Emery honeymoon over with anyway.

**** off you useless **** cowards

I'm almost impressed of how pathetic this was.

Why oh why do we pay that set piece coach?!

DROP DEAD THE LOT OF YOU, YOU INCOMPETENT **** BIG SHIT clearings in the woods. **** OFF **** OFF. AND **** OFF OUT OUF THE CLUB

I want Bailey sold immediately

remember we all laughed at Newcastle yesterday

It’s like going to the seaside, swaggering about with your nice shoes and then having your chips stolen by a seagull.

Ffs going to be in all the giant killing recaps every year forever now.

Oh well, these things happen... quite a lot

An absolute staggering disgrace yet again by spineless **** words removed. word removed defenders word removed midfielders word removed forwards.

I never want to see Olsen, Chambers Bednarek Dendickface or Bailey play for us again. Coutinho is **** done. PATHETIC PIECES OF SHIT. GET THE **** OUT OF OUR CLUB YOU OVERPAID rocket polishers. **** OFF

Stevenage Borough FFS

ONLY Aston Villa could produce that performance. Aston Villa, the hard bleeding anal gimp of the Premier League. Please **** us brutally in the arse publicly and make it hurt. My girlfriend said why are you laughing and I said because it is classic Villa. I am laughing at how utterly **** pathetic the team I support is. **** off Villa. And to the people saying it doesn't matter, it does. We lost to Steven.

The worst Steven to happen to Villa since Gerrard

Since Emery took over….


1. Arsenal – 41 points, GD +24 (played 17)
2. Manchester City – 38 points, GD +22
3. Aston Villa – 38 points, GD +13
4. Manchester United – 33 points, GD +6
5. Newcastle United – 32 points, GD +10 (played 17)
6. Brighton – 28 points, GD +12 (played 16)
7. Brentford – 28 points, GD +10
8. Liverpool – 27 points, GD +7
9. Tottenham – 27 points, GD +3
10. Wolves – 21 points, GD -5

That’s phenomenal turn around after they were flirting with relegation with Slippy G.

 

[Lay]

Indeed. He’s a very good manager, surprised some thought it wasn’t.

He could win a cup with Aston Villa eventually

Shock. Good players in the Villa team without direction and bring him in.

 

[Mmm-Qatarian]

Thank you, Don Unai! Very cool!

We should've sacked Gerrard after we lost 1-0 at home to West Ham in late August. Perhaps Unai wouldn't have come at that point but a big what if for me.

Still going to be a very fun last 7 games. I think both ourselves and Brighton will finish above Spurs now who have been locked in the top 5 all season.

Despite what you've posted above I bet you someone on this forum in a few weeks will still come out with "why do Emery teams only play well v Man. United."

I’ve seen a few mention Gerrard should have been sacked earlier etc.

However I do think timing and butterfly effect is everything. Emery came in and won his first game against Utd at home who had been on a great run. Gave the club a huge lift and great new manager bounce. The rest is history.

If he comes in against a lesser team and starts with a poor result it could have been very different. The momentum from Utd result was the foundation.
