Happy 2026. I wish you all the best mainly health and love and pride for Villa. My plan is not to give up  and do my best for our manager, our club staff, our players and our fans. Up the Villa!  And for the non Villa people also good health and love!

First of January market opens . And Alyson is here after a long process and many people involved working with great hope. Unai, Roberto and me we asked him for effort, respect for the club and follow Unai’s and staff guidance. Even with this he will need some time, But as long he does his part he will have us and our fans backing him. Welcome to our family.
Bem-Vindo Alysson. UTV!

Matterface spoke about Damian with what smelt like disrespect on Talksport after the Arsenal game.

[dcdavecollett]

Matterface is a twat.

Suspect Damian isn't a native English speaker. Cut him some slack.

Aston Villa deserves same respect than the other teams of EPL. We don’t want any favour or injustice for others : we want and demand respect. You can see  clearly this respect with other clubs and other players. We deserve the same: our players, staff, club are respectful and we want fair play. UTV!

What’s triggered that?

[PeterWithesShin]

Unai tried to lay his fists all over the officials at full time.

What’s triggered that?

I assume the blatant penalty on Tielemans that the ref and var ignored. Given Emery was fucking livid as well I think it's a fair guess that the club are pissed off about it, especially after some of the bullshit we've seen in the last few games.

Also no idea how Hughes got away with the one on McGinn, that was the yellowest of yellow cards you'll see all week.

[Steve67]

Have a look at the Man City penalty, that might be a clue. 

[kippaxvilla2]

Well we are too respectful so it’s about time.

[Tuscans]

What’s triggered that?

All thats mentioned, the Christmas period, Arsenal twice in the same month and probably still pissed over last seasons officiating at Old Trafford last year.

[Beard82]

think London away 4 out of 5 games may add to a slightly - worlds against us feeling with our leadership.

Think its a good thing - just means there settling in and become part of the family ;-)

His role is to be a lightening conductor for Unai.

So if Unai blows up he becomes v vocal to accompany and protect him!
