    Unai Emery

    He's already streets ahead of him and Howe will never get close to what he's achieved. The question of villa doing better than Newcastle is a different one altogether, Newcastle have infinite amounts of money so the chances are they will sooner or later do well Whether they can get the players/ top managers to go to the arse end of nowhere is the weakness. The airport and transport links are dreadful.

    Unai Emery

    Howes done a great job at Newcastle but they had been in the premier league for sometime, we haven't . Howe and Emery are completely different category of managers, Emery has success marked with Trophies , Howe has a promotion and has taken Newcastle from a relegation battle into the top half and is top 3 in October. He's won nothing, just like Newcastle.
  3. Well if it's analysis you want Emery is the manager, he's approach is very detailed. He will have watched us play yesterday and against Brentford. He will know our players strengths and weaknesses. The one thing that I noticed yesterday was how Newcastle exposed the space between Ming's and Young, using diagonal balls to great affect. This was obvious an area Howe had highlighted and one I hope Emery would have countered as soon as it became apparent, we just left it to happen time and time again.

    Unai Emery

    Best manager we could have signed, hes got top 4 written all over him. As for his wiki page........are you for real? Newcastle threw the sink at him and couldn't get him yet he's come to us, give him 12 months as see where we are.
  5. Emery will sort us out..it will take time but a manager with his pedigree will succeed and us with it. Fine lines separate success from failure at this level and he will make a difference. This time next year (we will be millionaires ) we will be competing for the top 8.
  6. If he can't break into the Cardiff team after that goal then we should recall and loan him back out again.
  7. We're turning toxic.....leave it to Twitter FFs
  8. Decent 1st half, probably had the better of the chances around the box but the ball seemed to get caught under our players feet at the wrong time, then the penalty.......Young was isolated all game (Newcastle played some excellent diagonal balls that cut us in two), but we was unlucky to go in 1 down. 2nd half ........Watkins should have been brought off, he wasn't closing down and he was all ove the shop in possession. Beundia and Bailey all seem to want a touch to many when we are in decent possession. Substitute s....... Coutinho looked completely uninterested, could be Gerrards single most destructive moves towards our progression. Why wasn't Archer brought on for Watkins......... Newcastle we matched them for much of the first half and then we just gave in. They are well drilled and play some nice football, hope they break the top 4 this season , good club and mostly great fans, 3-1.........my arse. Lol UTV .
  9. Hopefully they will hype him up enough to get the Liverpool job.
  10. Yea, gets a rise and some hits on their site stirring up the locals. Bit cheeky though not sticking a link to us. My tongue in cheek comment on em having a bit of a dip has proved popular, missed the punch line off though which I'm a bit disappointed in, "only scoring 2 away to spurs " Suspect our visiting Geordie fan has an interest in "The Mag" Just hope we don't get thrashed , and a win would be lovely , " The Mag" would get a visit 3-1 villa
  11. Football isn't just plain sailing and he will learn valuable lessons in playing in team that aren't pulling up trees all the time. Looks a bit casual to me at times (off the ball) but he has undoubted ability.
  12. Don't suppose they was off form, apart from that day and the one against Newcastle, although they beat manu 4-0. Similar results to Newcastle without the draws. Looking forward to the game for the first time in a few months , I wasn't even confident before the Bournemouth game. Amazing what a new manager boost can give us all. I see us beating Newcastle, I really do believe.
  13. If you think introducing a bit of flexibility when implementing the rules will benefit teams like villa then history shows us you would be wrong. Why can't people grasp that it's the poeple watching the video that are wrong not the system. The EUROs was a perfect example of how it should work if the people watching it are competent, the ones we seem to have are just wrong to often when there is no excuse for them to be wrong. Each week an explanation of the decisions would help. Doug's sending off is still a mystery, what the fucX happened and why?
  14. I agree, think McGinn could play there as well in a similar role
  15. Listen to one of Hitler's speaches, he never mentioned concentration camps and mass extermination of a race. Putin's a monster who's using the freedoms of western media to muddy the water for himself (in western eyes) while keeping his own people censored to the point where they think they are being attacked and threatened with nuclear destruction.
  16. This season they have beat Forest , Fulham, Brentford , Everton and Spurs. It's hardly ripping the prem up and their not to be feared. Call it false hope but I really do think we can beat Newcastle , maybe it's the fact Gerrard has gone and we looked rampant against an off form Brentford. Newcastle will start to drop points and I hope it starts with a loss to us. UTV
  17. Putin's getting desperate, Russia commenting on Taiwan as well trying to bring out China? It feels like this is coming to a head, at least in Russian terms, their propaganda is becoming more desperate. Russia's Sechin says Taiwan will return to China 'on schedule' By Nailia Bagirova and Olesya Astakhova BAKU, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Igor Sechin, chief executive of Russian oil giant Rosneft (ROSN.MM) and one of Vladimir Putin's closest allies, on Thursday heaped praise on China's leaders and said Taiwan would return to its "native harbour" on time. https://www.reuters.com/world/china/rosnefts-sechin-praises-chinese-ruling-partys-decisions-2022-10-27/
  18. Will they finish 3rd this season then? Football just doesn't work like, boyo
  19. Against tougher opposition he could operate as a number 10 behind a sole striker, he links up well and gets in the box enough. Would make us more defensive than playing an out and out number 10.
  20. Not sure if this has been posted before
  21. You only have to look at Bailey's improvement against Brentford to see how much a player can improve under different direction. If Bailey was to get injured, suspended, out of form or we need an extra spark later in a game then maybe Coutinho could play out wider on the left. Who knows until we start to find a decent style of play and some top class direction. I think Gerrard had a major affect on all of our squads confidence, time will tell but from watching this squad play over the last 2 seasons has shown it's has talent........over last 12 months not one player has improved and most have regressed. Hopefully this trend can start to reverse itself now the cloud that was Gerrard has gone. Clean slate for everyone , give them 2-3 months then judge what a player can offer us .
  22. VAR doesn't change crap decisions , it makes the chances of them happening less but a crap ref is a crap ref even when he's or she's watching it on TV. VAR should stay it just needs better standards to interpretate the rules. How Doug got sent off is still a mystery that should be explained by the decision makers .
  23. Remind me of us second season in the PL under Smith, free flowing and enjoying playing football. Problem will come when they lose a game their expected to win, indifferent results can then follow. May not happen to them but it seems to be the way it goes with teams that appear to be outperforming their squads ceiling. It's a free hit for us, keep them quiet for 20 minutes and with the pace we showed against Brentford ( I know it was only Brentford) we could easily nick a goal or two. Bailey, Beundia, Ings and Watkins are a formidable attacking threat when they play with confidence and after Brentford they should have it. 3-1 to villa.
