The biggest one for me though is his top flight league record

Far and away the most winningest manager we’ve ever had in top flight league football

51% win rate

54 wins in 106 PL games

Back to George Ramsay to even get close (48%)

It was also his 75th home game yesterday.

Just the 65.33% win rate…

… Taken us as far as he can go / Emery out etc 🤣

Unai Emery 🇪🇸 leads Villa for the 150th time, the 13th Villa manager to hit that milestone and the first since Martin O’Neill 🇬🇧

Those accounts who told us repeatedly that Emery and Monchi only bought duds seem to be quiet lately.

Probably the most classic Steve Bruce statement ever:

"I can try and make as many excuses as I want but it's not in my nature to do it,"

"Hopefully that shuts a few people up."

SJM taken totally out of context for my own amusement

Favourite idiot today? The one saying Emery is underusing Sancho. D'oh.

AVFC History @avfchistory.bsky.social · 10d

my feelings exactly, it's not been a good look

AVFC History @avfchistory.bsky.social · 15d

Don't get me wrong, I'm a terrible watcher (& loser), my Villa emotions are off the chart, but I just don't get the attitude of wanton destabilisation. If anything, I get a siege mentality of protection & defence. This trend for monetising angst is pitiful & makes me sick.

AVFC History @avfchistory.bsky.social · 15d

Yeah, sadly (relative) success these last few seasons have prompted the rise of the rent-a-gob… their opinions are nothing short of embarrassing. Not Villa fans of any standing whatsoever, they can’t be, they are so in the moment as if we were founded in 2023-24. Hopefully they’ll go soon.

ha ha... my take..

We all have our limits

Monchi's got pissed off working under artificial constraints

His old club's been courting him for months

It's warm, sunny and not subject to Premier League BS

Don't think there's much more to it than that tbh

AVFC History @avfchistory.bsky.social · 17d

that makes me feel better

AVFC History @avfchistory.bsky.social · 17d

really hope not but seems as frustrated as we are

AVFC History @avfchistory.bsky.social · 17d

ha ha it is, i just had to react to his presser
sounds a very frustrated fella

AVFC History @avfchistory.bsky.social · 17d

"Lazy"

He's not wrong but it never ends well from here.

Unai's off isn't he?

I do not understand the lack of substitutions.
