To put in context this convenient narrative of “ contact sport” we’ve been told by Referees during the summer that this season to go to unbalance or push the GK on purpose on the six hard box was not going to be allowed anymore. Lammens not even look at the ball, went straight to do a contact with the hip over Zion. Having said that we played good
Match and we must do better than last 6 minutes. We will do and we will improve. But the rules are the rules and must be respected. That is a fact.

Aston Villa have given up two-goal leads against Man United before, but two in the same game... while still leading by a couple in the 90th minute? Against this United team, sitting in the bottom three with just one league win all season? It's unforgivable.

Absolutely disgusting and typical commentary from two ex Man Utd players! Yes, contact sport but Lammens didn’t go for the ball, he looked at Suzuki and ran into him. There is no way this goal is given on the other end #avfc

Unai Emery on his "dream" to win the Champions League and whether he can do it at #AVFC:
"Aston Villa won in 1982. Were they favourites in that moment? I think not. Leicester won the league 10 years ago- in football, everything can happen.
"Of course, there are favourite teams. But with Villarreal, we played in the semi-final four years ago. We were close. Borussia Dortmund played three years ago in the final. They were teams who were not favourites but sometimes you have this opportunity to fight for this title.
"It's very difficult to win the Champions League, but I have my dreams, thinking of objectives like that."#AVFC

What a news 🥹 #avfc
#AVFC to extend Unai Emery's contract beyond 2029. Led by Nassef Sawiris, the plan is to also renew the contracts of Emery's key football executives, Roberto Olabe and Damian Vidagany. Villa had informed Emery of their intentions to renew his contract some time ago, with the 55yo happy at the club. Story @TheAthleticFC

Aston Villa's threat to Jamie Carragher was ridiculous, but pundit’s comment laid bare how football tries to preserve supremacy of elite while blocking paths of the dreamers | ✍️ Martin Samuel thetimes.com/sport/football/…

“I've had no suggestion that this would be a realistic prospect mid-season.
“As far as I'm concerned, Unai Emery is Aston Villa's coach and if Manchester United want to make a change they will have to look elsewhere.”
@David_Ornstein on Manchester United’s admiration of “the king of Villa Park” Unai Emery, who would be unlikely to succeed Michael Carrick if he was to soon depart Old Trafford.

Thanks I’m crying now🥹 #avfc
I can’t believe anyone actually believed this would go to the court when it was clear from the start he just wanted an apology! I got insulted when I said people lack comprehension 🙄 #avfc
🚨 Aston Villa have dropped their threat of legal action against Jamie Carragher following his apology, but Nassef Sawiris has made it clear that any future insults or disrespectful comments about the club will not be tolerated.
