Unai Emery

[algy]

Believe it or not, not everyone in the world speaks fucking English!!

I know, the fucking morons, honestly.

Honestly, we should all be shot. Disgraceful carry on. 

 

Learning French or German is hard, I've tried, and it means I have the greatest of respect for someone like Bad English who has truly mastered it.

But English? Come on, it's a piece of piss. I was fluent in it before I even started school, as were my kids. Anyone that can't speak it is just lazy in my book.

My mate Alan, from Dumfries, was genuinely surprised by that the first time he went abroad. Was telling our mutual friend Iain, a fellow Villa supporter … “The thing is Iain, they’re aw at it. Even the Bairns. Everyone speaks fucking Belgian [sic]. Ah dinnae Ken how they can understand eachother.”

This was a man in his late 20s, and genuinely astonished that they didn’t speak English in Belgium.


These people walk amongst us.

Speak English? Dumfries you say?

I will have you know us baldies are the best lovers ,  well that is what I hear

It's just a shame that their baldness precludes them from getting to demonstrate their prowess.

Its also interesting to observe that De Zebri has replaced their usual number one goalkeeper, Robert Sanchez, with the back-up keeper because Sanchez isn't suiting the way Manager wants them to play.

I think that was more to do with him being crap at stopping the ball going in their net.

"In this moment, I prefer Jason Steele. It's only for our style of play..."
De Zebri

Emery's not stupid. He's hardly going to replace the best GK in the world at the moment with either of the two rookies or the bloke who won a fancy dress competition in Sweden.

Pardon, I'm always demonstrating my prowess.

Case comes up next Tuesday.

Emery comments on European placing.

It's interesting to hear Emery and I'm of a theory that he's focusing on player and team performance first and foremost, and that improvements in football play are a priority more so than finishing 6th or 7th and for Europe.

According to his comments, the strategy is not to push things for Europe. Schoolmaster Emery is looking to enable his pupils to learn and become comfortable-its a move to make it a natural process to develop the team with his football philosophy.
The rest of this season is chiefly about laying the groundwork, and then some expectations that the players and team are showing the signs of consistency and ball possession.
In light of this, the remainder of the season may feature a variety of performances and all sorts of results

Opinion
I believe that the style of play will undoubtedly lead to player errors as a result of adapting and learning, but there will also be some very clear indications that the team as a whole and specific players are progressing due to Emery's high expectations.
I'm of the opinion that Emery has high expectations due to his spoken references in English of being demanding. He can be quoted regards saying he has demands.

League Position
I can't say for fact so its clear as I haven't heard from the owners or Purslow on this, but I believe there is no pressure to place for Europe this season.
My considered opinion weighing up all the info is that there is a chance that Villa can place in the top half and it is a respectable aim to go for a 10th or 9th place finish. It's possible to finish higher and maybe that happens.

Up the Villa!

If that North Korean lady ever wants a night off reading the news, I think you'd be a more than adequate replacement FV. Your vernacular is identical.

[clash city rocker]

One of your better ones footy.

The results will be what they are, but we are now in a great scenario to be relaxed enough about where we are in the table. Villa can go out and implement Emery and the coaches' intended game play and strategy with only a slight degree of suffering to any bad result as overall its not much issue to our league placing.

In many ways, it's a luxurious position, and these remaining games can serve as solid foundations for the players' understanding. It's a great opportunity for that more than results or pushing hard for higher league positions outside a couple more places

My main focus from now until the end of the season will be on how the players perform with possession-based football, the strategies in games, including the playing out from the back and players positional and tactical awareness.
I'm also interested if Watkins scores makes 14 to level or 15+ and then highest premier league goal tally.

So due to my understanding of the bigger picture and remit under Emery.
of course, I still want Villa to win as many games as possible, but because of the way I see it, the scoreline and outcome in matches are largely irrelevant until the start of next season.

It's quite glorious, really!
Just to enjoy the good bits of football and the rest is just part of the process!
Up The Villa!

Hmm, I still want us to finish higher than Brentford and Fulham and feel they are catchable. Maybe Brighton and Chelsea at a push but top ten should be a baseline target.

That’s harsh BV, but true.

I felt that one in my soul.

My feeling is that once you hit around 35 (that point in the distant, distant future for me) as long as you keep what hair you have very short, women don't give a shit about a man being bald.

Balding before the age of 30 is tough, and it's tricky to pull off a Larry David-style 'donut' at any age, but as long as you have a decent-shaped head (which I do not) most ladies don't mind a bit of skin.

Just never go ten pin bowling!!

I’m almost 40, have long hair and have never given a shit about what women think. In turn I have done same for my missus and if we split up would do for any future women in my life.
