Probably started that Saturday night with the Brentford-Newcastle game.

I reckon he's sat at home now watching recent Newcastle games. He could be watching Bond Films back to back I suppose though but I doubt it.

I could imagine him in the Blofeld role stroking a white cat though.😜

He's assembled a 3 hour long video analysis of each of the Longstaff brothers.

He knew that one of them is injured and hasn't turned out for them for two years but he did him too because THAT is how detailed he is.

Apparently Pako had to stop him checking birth records to see if there were any more of them.

Nobody does it better, I'd say.

He certainly seems to have a golden eye for detail

Tough match to call, wouldn't put a bet on at the casino. Royal entourage to be present again?

I won’t be easy against the toon but with Unai at the helm never say never.

Unai is a very heavy sleeper, they tried to wake him up but to no avail, shaken but not stirred.

The only blip on Emery's CV is his sacking from Spartak Moscow, when he definitely didn't return to Spain from Russia with love.

Today’s Times a lengthy complimentary article and complimentary of our Club too:

last week, he didn’t just speak of those who started or came on. He shared the praise around everyone in the squad, around the staff and those behind the scenes at Bodymoor Heath and Villa Park. Emery’s message was that everyone at Villa is in this together, and all contribute to the success. “Creating a family” is Emery’s ethos.

A squad that had been doubted by many, and had lost confidence under Gerrard, began believing during the first training session under Emery, after his appointment on November 1. Staff were impressed by how much he already knew about the players, their strengths and weaknesses, even their set-piece routines.

Even in the short time available before the new man’s first game in charge, against Manchester United on November 6, the players could see that Emery had prepared the patterns of play meticulously. They could see the thought and work that Emery put in. There was the clear focus on the goalkeeper, Emi Martínez, keeping the ball longer in playing out and then getting Emi Buendía to pick it up in the hole.

…..
Emery is considered so hands-on by staff that he is as much a teacher as a coach. Players respond because they can see his ideas work and his training drills are well thought-out. They respond because they admire his seriousness, dedication and attention to detail, and how this is a product of the long hours he puts in at Bodymoor Heath.
