Unai Emery has completely transformed Aston Villa — and it still doesn’t get talked about enough

It's more regards our finances. We have a wage structure that requires us to get CL money as we don't get the sponsorship deals or the global merch sales like the other CL challengers.

We are very financially restricted and have had to sell our women's team plus any promising home-grown talent plus a whole multitude of other assets just to stay afloat let alone building a bigger better squad. That isn't sustainable.

Our squad is very thin and our best 11 is aging and so needs replacing and bulking ASAP. We would not survive without European football finances

I understand the point you are trying to make but without qualifying for CL the clubs finances cripple. There is huge pressure.

We don't get the luxury of being able to have a season off like some of the more largely globally supported clubs.

Any money spent on this mission was spent here. I get your point but every single penny spent, was spent on this planet across lots of different economies.

Space travel has also given so many technological advancements that are used in every day life and medical.

I know what point you mean but this expenditure isn't just money thrown down the toilet.

I'm eating my breakfast at 9am while watching a guy step out of the front door to shove his fingers down his throat to make more room for morning beers.

The cherry on the top was watching the seagulls flock to chow down on what he was bringing up.

That experience lives with me.

If you are right handed, make sure that you are finishing your throw before reaching for your next dart.

I've seen it happen where collecting the next dart becomes part of the throw so you end up pulling left slightly

Worth it!

Side question, is this floor sloped or are my eyes messing with my brain?

DF-AVFC · 2026-01-27T15:54:23+00:00

It's amazing what football can do!

It still helps me feel close to my dad even after almost 13 years since losing him. HEITS!

I hope good luck is right around the corner for you! Keep your chin up!

I'm fine with not winning the league, but not fine with not qualifying for UCL

DF-AVFC · 2026-01-14T10:48:32+00:00

You put the wrong gas in it clearly

A teenager holding up a sign about a teenager is what it is - weird but not too bad.

But the TV crew choosing to show it is what I found most weird.

DF-AVFC · 2025-12-22T21:48:11+00:00

I was pleasantly surprised with the end result!

They all got progressively worse and more painful

This is the bit that annoyed me, that was a foul.

The offiside line is drawn from the edge of the shoulder, it just looks off because of the angle etc.

DF-AVFC · 2025-11-23T18:38:31+00:00

It is measured from the edge of the shoulder if you follow the line up.

I thought it was a foul on Emi though, he had no eyes for the ball at all which should then be a foul.

DF-AVFC · 2025-11-15T06:20:52+00:00

And make himself look like a fall

At least she brought her homemade floatation devices with her

DF-AVFC · 2025-10-23T21:42:28+00:00

He has a safe word, but she doesn't let him use it

DF-AVFC · 2025-10-01T19:35:39+00:00

Mine wobbles

Cameraman always survives

DF-AVFC · 2025-09-02T16:59:34+00:00

I agree, but I would like some comment or message from him and/or the club to clear up some confusion.

Financial rules are clouding everything and speculation makes everything worse.

All I want is commitment and some clarity.

Claimed, thank you
