Popular Post Vive_La_Villa Posted April 19 Popular Post Share Posted April 19 I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The guy is not just amazing in football terms, he’s inspirational in life. 6 years ago he had spent 10 years as a reserve keeper and loaned out from club to club. Yet he tweeted my time will come. You always have to believe. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuthority Posted April 19 VT Supporter Share Posted April 19 I’m pissed off he’s suspended for the 1st leg. The ref was an idiot and now he can’t play because he asked for a ball? There has to be some way to remonstrate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emery said “It’s not exactly 100 per cent he’s not going to be for the next round, available to play. “In the beginning I think it’s not, but we are in conversations with UEFA about it. “And, of course, it was a little bit strange because it’s not usual.” https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2024/april/19/the-presser--emery-looks-ahead-to-bournemouth/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macca49 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Bumped into a Gunner mate last night, hadn’t seen him for ages. I said if you had Emi, you would’ve already had the title won. He nodded and said, ‘Yeah we shouldn’t have let him go’. I reckon Emi has toned down his antics since the WC. He knows he has this aura of invincibility and that’s all the intimidation tactic he needs. I hadn’t really heard him interviewed before and watched the post game with Ollie after beating Arsenal. He speaks very good English, almost has an accent lol. He’s a legend. Reminds me a lot of Bozza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emi in his interview afterwards said he was booked after he was trying to get a ball from the ball boy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 479Villan Posted April 19 Popular Post Share Posted April 19 I'm okay with Olsen at home against Olympiakos. Not great, but, better than having him start in that environment. It's my hope that the fans who can attend that game saw the Lille match and step up their enthusiasm to lift the team. Watching Olympiakos, I believe they don't present the same kind of threat as Lille so defense needs to step up to fill the giant Emi-shaped gap. Then he comes back for the match in Greece and just bestrides their world like a Colossus. (I know that's Roman, not Greek, I'm an American from the dumb southern part of the country and I'm quoting Shakespeare, grade me on a curve please) 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be. My take was we were going to talk to UEFA. I didn’t include the two lines before when Emery says he knows the rule and they are going to contest the yellow. Emery “I didn’t know this rule. “But quickly they told me about this rule and now, of course, it’s very important for us and we are speaking with UEFA about this yellow card. “It’s not exactly 100 per cent he’s not going to be for the next round, available to play. “In the beginning I think it’s not, but we are in conversations with UEFA about it. “And, of course, it was a little bit strange because it’s not usual.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Vive_La_Villa Posted April 19 Popular Post Share Posted April 19 (edited) Instead of suspending Emi they should be suspending a referee that gave out 15 yellow cards in a game that wasn’t even dirty.
