I quite enjoy the catastrophic "journalism" of idiots like him and various others such as Simon Stone, also on the BBC website. His fanboy claptrap over Newton Heath is desperately transparent, as is Mashiter's sneering.

McNulty singling out Konsa at the WC was dripping with bias too, in a defence that struggled and where no one really excelled it was poor stuff.

The only tears I shed in Istanbul was when Emi hoisted our Manager onto his shoulders. For once a nice guy won, proved people wrong and the last few days have shown that he will have to do it all over again.

Can Emery work his magic again at Villa?

In Unai we trust.

Apparently we have 'overperformed' for three and a half seasons.

Hahaha

That guy is such a twat.

I guessed the article would be by Lick.

Maybe the article is full of other terrible stuff but...we have overperformed ever since Emery took over haven't we?

As in, we've been really good. Miles better than anyone thought that we would be. Streets ahead of where the money we've spent should see us.

By pretty much any metric you want to judge by, we should probably be about eighth. And we've consistently been much, MUCH better than that.

Or..."overperformed".

Soon as I saw the headline I knew it would be by that ringpiece.

These things annoy me - its really lazy.  Whilst Unai is amazing - we were only in such a bad position when he took over  because we had a manager who was completely inept - like comedy levels of bad.  To the point that not just he lost his job, but also the people that appointed him did.

Player by player - how many would we take from Chelsea, Spurs or Man Utd.  Or at least how many would we take that didnt need there career re-invented.

I do find his articles generally quite weak but I was going to say similar, no issue with it being labelled as 'overperformed' at all.

Perhaps we were underperforming under Gerrard?

We definitely were. He should have easily had us higher in the league than we were.

Par is somewhere between Gerrard and Emery.

Yeah, we have over performed, so maybe consider why, and also how we've then mugged off other teams paying loads for players playing above their usual levels, and are in process of replacing them with younger versions with higher potential. Or something.

The bottom line is that they don't understand how a club like us can have a manager like him.

Yep.

If he failed at Arsenal how could he succeed at Villa?
