If Unai wants a rebuild, he’ll get a rebuild.
If Unai thinks it’s time for players to go, they’ll go.
If Unai wants players he thinks will change us, he’ll get the players.
If Unai thinks now is the right time for a complete refresh, now is the time.
Trust the man.

Newcastle's situation should teach Aston Villa fans a bit of humility
Just in Jan this year, Newcastle were playing PSG in the Champions League. They had the Saudi money. They had the richest club in the world tag. They were arrogant and talking about dominating for 10 years
Then the Saudi state went broke. Now they're are in relegation conversations. They went from Champions League nights to fighting to stay up
And the same thing will happen to AstonVilla.
Your billionaire owner can wake up tomorrow and say that he's gone. He can look at Villa's tiny revenue, look at the millions he's losing every year and just stop. He can close his wallet and Villa are dead
Because Villa are nonthing without him. Villa have no global fans, no big revenue, no brand. Villa have a small stadium, a small fanbase, and a small history. Villa are a poverty club living off one rich man's charity
If he stops, Villa collapse and go straight back to the Championship. They go back to being irrelevant
On the other side, United can sustain itself for the next 100 yrs without anyone putting in a penny. United don't need a sheikh, don't need a Saudi state don't need a billionaire sugar daddy
United can be terrible for 10 years and still be richer than Villa will ever be
Let me have a guess at his location…

Aston Villa is delighted to announce that Victor Lindelöf will remain at the club until 2028, with the club exercising an option to extend his existing contract by a further year.

🚨 Interview: Victor Lindelof believes #AVFC can still reach "higher heights" after making the easy decision to extend his contract with the club.
"I'm really enjoying my football here, and I feel like it's the right place for me to be. It was a no-brainer to sign."

At the tribute to Jesús de Miguel at the Heliodoro, the club’s largest shareholder, Rayco García, announced that Tenerife will sponsor his one-year-old daughter, Carla, until she turns 18.
“We won’t let her want for anything.” 🇪🇸❤️
We’ve played 4 games in the Champions League on top of our 10 league games.
In that time we’ve played Arsenal, Man City (won), Newcastle away (won) where our record is horrific, Spurs away (won), Brighton away…
And yes, we’re still above you.

Jaissle doesn’t know this league, has come into a really poor squad, and the media are after his head. Meanwhile, the experienced Emery is being shopped to Man United as the man to fix all their problems, and we all read every day about the brilliant job he’s doing at Villa with their rebuild.
Villa are only one point above us. And that’s only because they nabbed a 1-0 win over us.
Media narrative about Jaissle is forced, as is the shite from our supporters on social media. #NUFC

This is the moment Vanessa Feltz is talking about.
In 2006 on 1 Leicester Square, Russell Brand looked her in the eye mid-interview and asked if he could “have it off” with her and both her daughters. One of them was 15 at the time.
When she shut it down and said he’d understand when he had his own daughters, he doubled down, joking about sleeping with his own kids and saying if he’d had boys they’d be in a lot of trouble.
Her reaction: “God, yuck. Yuck, yuck! Don’t go there.” 🤮
This isn’t remotely funny. I’ve never found him funny tbh, but this is just sick. How do you even go there? Vanessa should’ve walked off or slapped him, that would’ve been the moment!

David Warner has released a video in which he says Usman Khawaja's recounting of the 2018 ball tampering scandal is "100% accurate".
Khawaja has claimed the entire Australia team knew about the use of sandpaper in the match. The bowlers have consistently denied any knowledge.

Plus points.
1. Alyssons’ output is really starting to become impressive.
2. Jackson’s 9th goal of the season, it took Watkins 40 games at 12th March to get there last season.

Fair play to Alysson.
Signed in January for £8.7m after just 42 appearances for Gremio, understandably he was eased in, playing just 47 League minutes in the back half of 25/26.
But this season, 5 League and Champions League starts, 2 goals and 1 assist, and a number of really influential cameos.
This season in the Champions League (admittedly in a relatively small sample size), he's averaging 3.5 shots, 3.5 chances created and 6.4 dribbles p/90.
The 20 year old has helped ease the transition between the 25/26 Europa League Champions and the current iteration.
Looks to have an incredibly bright future!

It was apt Aston Villa’s flaws were laid bare at Old Trafford, a stadium which tends to expose their frailties. #AVFC have long played on the margins - all three league wins have been by one goal - but they do not control games now. Add in Villa pressing even less than last season, the emphasis on defensive structure to make up for the lack of intensity & ball retention is greater. It is why, maybe, an implosion like this isn't so surprising (of course it was at Old Trafford, too)

Lots of talk about protests/walkouts at #mufc and whether they’d be effective.
In Germany, when they added Monday night games, there was outrage at fans having to travel after work on a Monday.
Cue tennis balls, vuvuzelas, remote controlled cars on the pitch.
Mondays scrapped.

After today's results, I think Villa are now third from the top of the first-half table and third from bottom on the second-half table
JB retweeted
Before the weekend, only Crystal Palace (52) had the ball turned over more in their defensive third than #AVFC (43). Stretching further back to the start of the 2025-26 campaign, no team had made more errors which led to goals. For a tactical set-up known for its caution, control and winning the margins, Villa have to find a way to solve midfield issues & giving up clear-cut chances.
JB retweeted
Villa recruitment was excellent in terms of replacing Rogers as Manzambi & Mbaye are high quality talents. But do see weaknesses in their midfield when they went 2-0 up and 4-2 up. Way too direct in posssesion and couldn’t retain the ball. João Gomes has issues when he is pressed and Goretzka is not a double pivot midfielder. Think they could have done better to replace Tielemans’ impact in possession.

🚨 JUST IN: ALL-TIMER interview from Unai Emery after conceding a 96 min equalizer vs. Manchester Utd
JB retweeted
Emery has to take some blame for that from a Villa perspective. Weird subs. Took all the experience off the pitch ahead of an international break and went for Hemmings over Buendia. Goretzka going off also meant the team lost a lot of height. That said, I’ll never believe Villa will win a game at Old Trafford no matter the match state or subs.
