Unai Emery

[algy]

I doubt he's fussy about his shampoo or hair gel. Man makes an effort with personal grooming but he's got bigger things on his mind.

Nah, he’s meticulous. As he is with everything else. Probably obsesses over the brand and ingredients on the packaging. All of his data collected in a spreadsheet providing him his options based on where he is in the world, calculating humidity and water hardness.

I fall somewhere between. I do think he has standards of personal hygiene and grooming that would make any other man blush, but I think that, in his head, they are bare minimum and he doesn't reflect on them for a single second.

Suave at all times; sharply dressed but clearly a man who has found his style, is happy with it, and picks up any new clothes in mere seconds on his way to buying a coffee; smart but slightly battered shoes, because he knows what he likes, and would never discard a comfortable pair of shoes; never flustered, you could use his socks as a balaclava and have no idea they had been worn; breath like a summer breeze, but no OTT fake white teeth; a miraculous absence of ear and nose hair or stray eyebrow hairs; no jewellery apart from a watch that you hardly notice but which is unostentatiously expensive, probably a gift from someone close to him; a striking but not overpowering scent of evocative yet mysterious cologne, that lingers for 5-10 seconds after his departure as a reminder but never arrives before the moment he shakes your hand, with a dry palm and an effortlessly firm handshake, accompanied by reassuring but not excessive eye contact.

Beautiful, Rory. Just beautiful.

What a guy! Our Unai.

It's official - it wasn't a penalty.

The Sultan of Unai says so.

I think it’s the first time I’ve heard him mention a bad decision, and we’ve had some whoppers.

Beautiful.

I bet when he was sat in the chair at the hairdressers this week, after 20 mins of listening to him talk, that hairdresser was absolutely inspired and motivated to make a better life for themselves, and will be running their own chain of salons inside six months.

That's the kind of guy he is, he just can't help improving people.

I was shocked that he had time to get his barnet trimmed this week. Guess he already had his plan ready to beat that lot from Low Barnet yesterday.

I'm updating my Hinge and Bumbl accounts with this.

Got to love him. Asked how excited he is to play against Liverpool and Brighton as direct rivals for Europe, starts talking about the Spurs game and the penalty instead!

Rumours are that he once shook Ray Kroc's hand.

I always assumed that his hair smells of sandalwood.

His hair tells you that he thrives under pressure. As the temperature goes up many will wilt. Look at what happened to TSM2 as an example. He went from fresh faced enthusiasm upon joining us to living in a box under a bridge. His hair disheveled. By comparison pressure is afraid of Emery. He relishes it. His hair is better than when he joined us. It‘s a quite magnificent barnet.

And God said unto thee 'here is a football Manager.  His name shall be Unai,  I give you this gift for the pleasure of those who seek to be inspired, oh, and he shall smell lovely.  Enjoy'.

He’s a bloody brilliant manager.
