Yep, no Enzo and Gusto unlikely. Really hope Palmer is still sick as well. Would still bring in Doug to help own midfield and drop one of Diaby or Bailey (depending on his knee) and give us more oomph from the bench.
-
Dammit. Spoke to soon.
-
I don't think man utd are going to catch us.
-
What's kind of amazing is that we couldn't care less what happens in any games apart from ours and Spurs. No other jeopardy from Man U, Chelsea, Newcastle et al, we are so far clear. Would be nice to be even closer to those above us, but that's for next season. Otherwise can just sit back and enjoy.

Athletic (paywall) article on Emery and the future. I think in the summer we'll see a new contract to 2030 or so. https://theathletic.com/5438265/2024/04/24/unai-emery-aston-villa-contract-dynasty/

Poch out before the weekend please.

We're predicting the outcome of future games. No-one knows and yeah, anything can happen, but form is all you can use. Spurs and us are very equal all season long, we're both playing the same team but one at home and one away. All the odds are that we are more likely to have the better result. Anyway - we'll soon know for sure.

We draw at home to Chelsea and Spurs beat them away? I mean, it could happen, and Spurs could only lose one more game, but I don't see that myself.
-
What superb news. Just brilliant and will give the lads an extra boost going into the final games - they all want to play for him.
-
He'll stay while we're pushing on. At the very least a couple more years IMO. Don't forget Monchi has relatively just arrived and we've only bought Rogers and a couple of other kids in that time. Despite PSR etc, I couldn't be more excited about who might come in over the summer and where we might be this time next year. Emery ain't going to bail before they've even got going together.

Would be nice to finish on 2ppg! 10 from 4 - don't see why not. Think 4th is as good as done now (opta has us up to 80.7% chance) - I just can't see Unai letting it slip. The confidence and momentum is with us throughout the squad - they believe.
-
They have talent, but are a nothing team. Shut down Palmer, bully Enzo & Mudryk and they'll break. Watkins, Bailey, Rogers will terrorise their defense.
-
Look at the bench today and that even after extra time mid-week, Emery couldn't make changes until 80+ minutes. We definitely need all the bodies back to compete long term. What we're achieving now is a miracle.
-
I'm confident we have this now. And I honestly think for next season the title thread will be equivalent of this one.

Absolutely brilliant. What a week. What a season. What a team.
-
The squad is beginning to look really thin, esp if Zanilolo is out as well. Need to lift themselves for a big effort on Sunday, then a well earned week off.
-
The Emi situation is about as clear as the coefficient numbers.
-
I didn't think he was on the list with a previous yellow.
-
Yellows are wiped post QF aren't they.

Erm - one villatalker has rated the ref very good. You OK, hon?

Big Emi - amazing. Matty & Leon - superb. And shout out to Ollie nailing that pen with the pressure of waiting and his dodgy history. That was truly excellent. Straightforward semi please. I can't take that again. PS - proof I think that this is not a 3rd rate trophy. It really means something.

Can't take this
-
What a strike. Take a bow, matty
-
Some amazing brutalist stuff around though - you can have both that and older stuff working together. eg National Theatre/South Bank, Barbican etc. On topic - we really need to watch the cards tonight. Don't need anyone being banned for the semis (if we get there).
-
Nice. Strong lineup with Bailey and Rogers to come if needed. If we get a decent lead could give the kids a run out.
