Popular Post MaVilla Posted April 28 Popular Post Share Posted April 28 (edited) Hey, i didnt want this to get lost in the usual Unai Emery thread, Emery is racking up a big list of "first time since X, most ever Y etc" at Villa, so i wanted to dedicate a thread to list his Villa specific achievements. I will add a bullet pointed list of records broken or events since X date here, so please post his records in this thread and i will transfer it to this post, so we can keep a track of his amazing amount of record breaking..... Start posting them VT'ers.... Unai Emery records and key achievements at Villa: Most Home Points in the PL era (39), 2023/24 season. First time Villa have finished above Man Utd in the PL era, 23/24 season. First win over Man Utd at Villa Park in 27 years (achieved Nov 2022, last time achieved 1995). Most consecutive home wins (15), spread over the 22/23 and 23/24 season. 20 PL wins in a single season (23/24), for the first time since 1992/93. First time Villa have finished in the top 5 (23/24) of the PL since 1996/97. Highest Points per game average of any Manager in Aston Villa history (1.91), second in the list is John Gregory (1.55), as of 28.04.24. (not sure if Gregory is right.....i would imagine that would be Ramsay second if the points were factored correctly?) Highest win % of any Aston Villa Manager (59.3%), second in the list is George Ramsay (49.6% - 1884 to 1926), as of 28.04 24. First Manager since 1982 to take Villa to a European competition semi-final (23/24 - Europa Conference League) Most wins recorded after first 50 games (30) in Aston Villa's history, next best was 25 wins after first 50 games. Longest consecutive scoring run as a manager at a new club in the Premier League (20 games - 22/23 season), previous record was 18 games by Norwich in 1992. Most wins in a calendar year in Aston Villa's history (26 wins - 2023 - Premier League). Most wins in all competitions in a calendar year (32 wins - 2023) Most points in a Premier League season over a 38 game season (67 - currently), previous record was 64 in 2009/10. Most points in a Premier League season (23/24 - 67 points), averaged for a 38 game season (previous record was 92/93, 74 points in 42 games, averaged to 66.95 points over 38 games) ??? note: blimey, as im filling this in i have realised just how many Villa related records he has beaten, i knew it was a lot, but its even more than i thought Edited April 29 by MaVilla 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano & Dalian's Umbrella Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Only manager to never criticise a referee or their decisions, no matter how bad. most times needing an interpreter to understand Tom Ross in a press conference without Tom attempting to modify the pace of his speech or phrases used whatsoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 https://www.astonvilla.news/match-coverage/unai-emery-just-broke-aston-villa-record-that-not-even-george-ramsey-or-graham-taylor-managed/ Quote Against Fulham, the boss recorded his 50th Premier League fixture in charge of the claret and blues, setting a new club record for success at that milestone. Recording 30 wins, eight draws and 12 defeats, Emery has a 60% win percentage which sees him record five more wins and nine more points than any other Villa manager after 50 league games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasnt really a competition, it was a knockout competition to qualify for the actual competition teams wanted to play in (to qualify for UEFA Cup). I wouldnt count that as a genuine cup win (in the sense of we can say proudly we have "won a European trophy").

villarule123 Posted April 28 VT Supporter Share Posted April 28 15 home wins in a row was just ridiculous (should have been at least 17!) and was an absolute joy to watch every one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt count that as a genuine cup win (in the sense of we can say proudly we have "won a European trophy"). Last season there were a lot of fans that wanted us to finish 8th to avoid the Conference League, because it wasn’t a real European competition, and it would distract us from getting in to one of the real ones. The real competition everybody wants to play in is Champions League. Europa League is a knockout competition to qualify for the real deal. If you are speaking to a Newcastle fan it is a must mentioning since they lost their final to Troyes that year. Who has even heard about Troyes?

I once wrote a list of negative records broken under Lambert. It was extensive. Really terrible times. 140 year old negative records being smashed. So refreshing to have a positive story unfolding. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who has even heard about Troyes? yeah, but the intertoto literally isnt/wasnt a genuine competition, people can not like the Conference League, but its a genuine European competition, intertoto was a just a set of qualifying rounds where the "winner" qualified for the competition proper. This is also shown by the fact that intertoto was started pre-season and finished very early in the season, to allow the qualifiers to enter the UEFA Cup proper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also shown by the fact that intertoto was started pre-season and finished very early in the season, to allow the qualifiers to enter the UEFA Cup proper. Intertoto as the name indicates was actually setup so that people could bet on football games over summer period. It's a glorified pre-season tournament that you qualified via league (so bit more worth than pre-season tournaments) and did have a chance to qualify to UEFA Cup at later point. I think Conference League gained prestige with big sides so far winning, but especially our run will be remembered by beating some classic football sides in Ajax, Lille, and hopefully Olympiacos and Bruge/Fiorentina. were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
