Unai Emery - our manager

[Rigadon]

He's said that there are 7 teams who are favourites more than us to finish top 7 a few times. "Better than us overall in everything" is a bit of a rubbish thing to say though. Newcastle didn't have a better team than us on Tuesday, for a start.

I was wondering if he’d said it this week.  I do remember him saying it a couple of months ago when we were top 2 or 3.  I’d say that the Gerrard comparison was contextually different in that we were playing turgid football and languishing down the bottom of the league somewhere - and you could tell that the twat genuinely thought we were inferior to Chelsea and as getting his excuses in. 

He fucked up a bit on Tuesday, but I think Emery backs himself  against any team in any league.  What he says publicly to temper fans expectation is just that and I doubt he’d be saying it at all if we were now in 8th position.

The way Emery celebrated the first two goals was magnificent.
And in 38th Minutes he's demanding asking for more!

That's what you get with an elite manager.
We have dropped the least points when scoring first this season.
El Mastero muchas gracias!

I'd like a clean sheet too please.

Good to get some praise but we must continue to be demanding of ourselves.

He went beserk after one goal (the second I think). It was great to see.

I like this kind of humour (might have to say sorry my English here)

[Dogtanian]

I love the end of this video, the last 4 or so minutes. His passion and drive to achieve and win something.

It’s brilliant. He basically torched the guy asking the question. It’s not one thing it’s everything we want to win. It’s not about choosing so much, but about knowing the order of things, but every game is valuable in its own right. And the PL because of the number of games is the true barometer to measure success.

[OCD]

Good to see he took responsibility for the Newcastle performance. He seems well and truly pissed off, with that game the catalyst. Journalist must have regretted asking the question with a response like that.

It’s alway good to be recognised but at the moment we haven’t won anything for this marvellous manager so yes we must all try harder.

Hi Monty

I just wanted to check with you - as well as being demanding of yourself, are you also searching to increase your levels whilst connecting with our supporters?

Asking for a friend.

[Steve67]

You are always being demanding with your questions Paulie.
