They are good enough to do both. Spurs aren't getting top 4 when they've still got arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and city still to play.

Why is Goldstein obsessed on thinking every villa player is going to leave? All the players are at a big club, best manager, best fans and rich owners! He just sounds jealous because villa are going places! FACT

Villa has been going for both this season, and people still ask this question.

Darren Bent played for Villa but he is clearly not a Villa fan. His alliance is Arsenal. Im sure Emery will get Aston Villa into the Champions League and if he will does well will boost commercial revenue which is vital in keeping your best players, squad strengthing and sustainability. The trophy that really matters is the European Title. You cannot erase history and only six English clubs has ever won it Manchester United, Liverpool, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Man City. On this merit those are the real big 6 English clubs - not the Sky6.

Silverware will be talked about for seasons to come Top 4 is great but all it really achieves is qualification. Football is all about Trophies

No English keeper can compete with Dibu 😂

Forget the league, emi's one of the best in the world... People need to start putting more respect on villa, what we'v achieved so far this season is amazing, even the win against arsenal most of the pundits spoke about arsenals failures rather than the great performance villa put in

Not even going to listen to this. No need to compromise. Less than 10 games left in the season with a 3 point lead on tottenham (who have the top 3 to play)....

Goldstein never asks man united fans what’s more important- the fa cup or champions league

Been going for both all season, and still going strong. 32 games in still fourth and a semi final and pundits still think its one or the other. Emery is the master of balancing deep runs in 2nd and 3rd tier european cups and maintaining league positions.

I dont see why we cant get both ,what a great time to be a villa fan UTV

The second yellow was because the ref thought he’d gone to wind the fans up when actually he was trying to get the ball back so Ollie could take his pen. Bentaleb smashed into the crowd and they wouldn’t give it back. Should never have been a yellow, the ref was one of the worst I’ve ever seen.

You all need to wake up to the quality of the teams in Europe and in the Conference league as its now a really competitive cup. Every team we (Villa) have played have had a bit of quality about them with Lille being the best so far, and I'd go as far as saying they're close to being CL level side. Look at Leverkausn in Europa, CL level.

Villa’s remaining league matches are against Bournemouth (home), Chelsea (home), Brighton (away), Liverpool (home), and Palace (away). Spurs’ remaining matches are against Arsenal (home), Chelsea (away), Liverpool (away), Burnley (home), City (home), and Sheffield (away). Villa have the easier run in, 3 points on the board against Spurs with a game in hand and a superior goal difference, and just need to take care of business one game at a time. Psychologically, if Villa wins this weekend and Spurs lose, even with them having a game in hand, that will be tough for Spurs to come back from with so few games left.

As a Villa fan I’d much rather win the Europa Conference league than finish in the top 4. Qualifying for the Champions League would be brilliant but let’s be honest we probably won’t get out the group.

Top 4 is far more important than winning the Europa conference league,cos it'll push Aston Villa on in terms of revenue & prestige,with UCL qualification, next season will be massive & we'll be able to recruit better players this Summer + keep hold of all the quality players we currently have. I'm hoping we can get both,if Villa win the conference league & get top 4 this season it would be incredible,Villa are on the up & our fantastic owners/Unai Emery & his team are doing miracles at Aston Villa fc & us Villa fans are absolutely buzzing these days,cos it's not so long ago that we were struggling & we've been through some really dark times over long periods in our recent history,so we appreciate our present direction even more. Our great club is 150 years old this year & we can be really proud of the work being done at Villa & everyone is really together & pulling in the same direction,it feels great. UTV!

ridiculous. last year everyone was saying, Villa aren't ready for Euopean football, they need more signings, more time with their manager. they qualified for Conference League and are now in the semifinals. now you're saying they aren't ready for more European football? pipe down. this ownership and coaching staff are in for the long haul. let's have a trophy AND 4th place. UTV!

This is not a "this or that" conversation.

French fans are still salty about 18th December 2022.. They can't rid themselves of the nightmares He owns Allez Les Trash ..All he needs now is a mustache

We're more than good enough to do both...no need to prioritise one over the other

They can definitely do both

The only trophies that count for big teams are the Prem and CL. After that, CL qualification is the most important thing. The other trophies are B competitions.

I get it, these are just debate scenarios, but why do you have to prioritize one over the other. One is a cup como with a few games and only 5 games left in the other. Professional players, go out and play.

I don't have a preference, both are important in trying to become an elite club and all things considered if we don't do both from the position we've worked hard to get into then we will have failed.

as a villa fan, i dont expect to do well in champions league, so would be happy to have a go, and hopefully drop down into europa, so saying that would it just be better to win the trophy and go straight into europa knowing we may have a chance? But, we want to emulate the achievement of champions league like newcastle to be able to say we got there as we are more than capable of getting there. But it would be good to mark the period of sucess with a trophy. Im hoping we can do both, but id prefer to try and compete in europa as thats our level. I think UCL is too hard for us currently. Saying that, maybe we can build a squad over summer that is capable. Its not too far a strech for us to do both. Also, martinez isnt going anywhere especially if we get UCL... hes deterimined to get us there and play there with us as we gave him the opportunity to become argentina number one and win the world cup. He wont leave us yet.

Anyone who thinks winning the Europa Vauxhall Conference is more important than finishing 4th is a complete and utter doughnut

Sorry Benty, we're going for both

It's 2 more games and we're in the final lol. So there's nothing to prioritise. We've coped for 8 months, 6 weeks more isn't exactly a stretch... poor from Benty that.

We were in championship a few years ago now were amazing Emery is a legend

Has he lost his mind. Winning a conference cup instead of Champions league. Winning champions league place now places you in position to go for a different caliber of player and can put the club further ahead in development.

Top 4 is the priority for exposure of Aston Villa I was speaking to my friend from Ghana 🇬🇭 and he said to me y’know Aston Villa is a big club in Ghana 🇬🇭 they have their own supporters club it makes me cry 😢 to think that people around the globe 🌏 love Aston Villa like we do blows my mind

Why is the audio on talkSPORT breaking up all the time

I think they are good enough to do both

We’re getting both

I'm starting to hate when people say teams should prioritise games... when has that ever happened? When has a team played kids in the lrague, won a trophy and then said "yeah we only wanted the cup". You should be trying to win EVERY game.

Goldstein you absolute weapon. We are doing both. UTFV

what does the trophy cabinet look like for top 4?

Trophy for sure. My blues mate keeps saying they've won more silverware this century 🤣

I agree. A trophy for villa would be absolutely huge

As much I agree I think we can do both tbh

Silverware for me and if we end up in the Europa we would have a chance to go and try and win that.

We are doing both even with a huge injury list all season. Still can’t get a bit of credit from the big 6 media.

I’d prefer to win a trophy but Villa probably need the cash from champions league. Think they’ve a huge FFP problem coming down the road

trophies are remembered forever

People just talk they don't actually know what they're saying like winning that Trophy doesn't compare to entering the UCL, hearing that anthem and receiving that needed Cash for FFP and Transfers.

Like Unai said we wanna do well in both - why do we need to just focus on one?

We have been juggling this since September and people are still questioning us. Emery will get us going on both fronts.

Why not both we have been competing for both all season

Conference League would be far better, we don't have a squad good enough for the Champions League. A season in the Europa League and going much further would be far better than what happened to Newcastle.

We will get both, we’ve got Super Unai Emery UTV

Why can't we do both ?

In answer to your question..both!

Aim should be both

Benty on drugs again😂

I'd rather win the trophy but I think we can do both, we'll need a bit of luck but we have the quality, our squad is a little thin but I cannot see why we can win the conference league and finish 4th. UTV

If we get Champions league we can attract better signings to proceed in the league

It would be a bonus to win the cup but much prefer to finish ahead of Spurs in fourth

Can easily go for both - not like they play tough teams in Europe

Both !! No1 wants to see spurs stinking out the champions leagues again 🤦‍♂️🤣

With only 3 matches left in the Europa conference league including the final & 5 more matches in the premier league, it's a realistic target to get top 4 & a European trophy 🏆,so this one or the other conversation is nonsense. Villa are in a good position to achieve both & with abit of luck that's how we're gonna end this great season we're having.. up the mighty Villa!!! 😊⚽💜💙✌️🏆👍

champ league will attract top players and also retain our best and also financial benefits that come with it also villa won the championship playoff doesnt that trophy count?

I think west ham got 12 million for winning this thing last season. Newcastle got 29 million (Ithink)for getting in the champs league. Money wise the champions league is financially way better

Why can't they do both

should tell that to city also right?

Or just go for both

BOTH

Goldstein disrespects Aston Villa & says Unai & Martinez would leave the club at the drop of a hat if a so called bigger club came in for them,based on what others might've done or maybe his own fickle mindset. Aston Villa are a big club that are on the up & are doing special things,Unai & Emi are loyal people & very respected at Villa ,& they also respect the club & the platform it's given them,so don't automatically assume these guys would do what others have or you might do yourself........ up the mighty Villa!!!

Totally agree!!! Trophy goes in the cabinet!! 4th doesn't!! 💜💙👍🏼

Call me greedy. But I want both. !!! I think a champions league is more do able then winning the conference but I generally believe we could do both. What a time to be a villa fan. !

I believe top 4.....only beacuse it's harder to achieve and financially good & will help attract big players...but silver wear will be awsome for morale and a sense of physical achievement to hold and celebrate for alot of hard work and grind this season... Now listening to the end the trophy is the one... U can't help dream land😂

I'm sorry but the conference league isn't a trophy it's like winning the charity shield or something

HE’S NO MATT KENDRICK

Champs league is better for the club for revenues. FFP is a tough one now.

Would I rather win a competition or qualify for a competition? Forgive me but I'll take winning a competition all day long. Anyone that says otherwise should have their hard drive checked.

Can do both it’s only an extra 3 games you melt

Geezer on the phone last talks sense utv

Both.

Isnt the whole point of sport to win trophy? You compete to get to this point, why wouldn't you go for it?

Villa can do both

Prioritise silverware, especially when the competition in the league is Spurs and there’s only two games left in Europe

So first it was Emery would leave if a big club came in,now it's Martinez would leave if a big club came in?. What is that 🔔🔚's agenda against Villa?.He wants to concentrate on his own crappy club.

No if cash did not score we would not be there , shout up bent we need 4th spot ,

Both 😊

Spurs, aren't finishing top 4. Arsenal, Chelsea (away), Liverpool (away) and City will Spursy them!

The conference league is mickey mouse stuff, we need to be in the UCL.

You need to take the trophy. Making it to the champion league does not guarantee that you will win it. And the next year, you might not qualify. Win first.

This team can achieve both why settle for one?

Let me tell you two things: First Emi Martinez Second...France.

Be real guys ...they should go N win the cup ,and qualify for UCL,those days if building n start slowly r dun.fotball is pas that.

Goldstein = jealous. Bent = threatened by another team entering the “Big 6”.

UTV!

Some absolute clowns in this company

Is being a moron a prequisite for employment at talksport? Why would any club not try to achieve both if they can?

Why dont they talked about the game itself,commentator in england talk football only through the result,Lille has dog walked AV,and it should raise the question how the fourth tesam in English premiere league conceded so much opportunities from their oppononent while their opponent run on a budget equivalent of an academy in England,this is the concern that they should have,same for west ham,with a budget double of Leverkusen and being smacked.this is the comment they should be making not pumping your chest while AV won over penalties.

At home villa can beat anyone this is fact . We battered man city and Arsenal twice . Aren't they champions League teams also villa just got though to a team who will be in the champions League next season . I would not bet against this team they turn up especially in the big games

Would you bet against us💜💙

Champions league all day long Next question

Darren Bent BELIEVES Aston Villa should PRIORITISE winning a trophy....... Why do you capitalise the most random words in your video titles?? 😂

Looks like it's not just penaldo Palmer that can knock in a pen

Barcelona should get rid of ter stergen and get Martinez.we need leaders like him in the locker room..Arteta made a huge mistake..for letting Martinez go..He is better than ramsdale and Raya..
