“FA Cup’s harder to win than the Europa League” is when I checked out 😂

That arsenal fan is trying so hard to discredit any praise given to emery it's actually pathetic 😭

Arsenal lad: “that’s what Emery teams do. Strong starts, fall a part.” Literally the Arteta special.

Arsenal fans are still so so so weird about Emery, move on lads, he's better than Arteta, that doesn't mean Arteta's bad

Did that clown really just say the fa cup is a bigger trophy than the europa league

People forget about Villarreal under Emery. That Europa league was their first title beating Manchester United in a final. Then they almost made champions league final the following year, beating Juventus and Bayern Munich only losing to Liverpool.

Interesting how no one talks about Villa’s key injuries..

No way these guys think Emery will have this team fall apart… 2nd in the table in 2023 calendar year. This isn’t a run of form, this is consistent. 5-1 was an outlier

Brian bragging about 7 wins in a row when Villa have won 15 games in a row at home in the prem 😂😂😂

Trophies in this order: - Champions League - Premier League - Europa League - FA CUP - Europa Conference League - EFL Cup

Emery knocked Arteta out of Europa league 😂. Also got to two CL semi finals, once with Villareal. Also got the highest win rate in PSGs managerial history. This 'villas emerys level' is a shallow and tired take.

Over the calendar year, Villa are second to Man City on points. Also, there has been no drop off. Villa are in title race.

Here's one for you. Emery has learnt from his time at Arsenal and is now a better manager. Comparing him then to now isn't the same.

Newcastle fans getting too cocky with the 1-5. Don't forget we beat them 3-0 at home last season, and we went into the 1-5 with 4 starting players injured against newcastles full strength XI

Honestly if spurs had no injuries with bentancur, Maddison and Mickey van de ven, they would be in the title race, they were on fire earlier in the season and they getting good results lately without those key players.

Newcastle supporter here, but it's Villa over Newcastle any day this season. Even last season we overachieved, and we're now paying the price by having our key players tired/injured. We'd be lucky to even finish in a Europa league spot. We were lucky to play Villa at the beginning of the season.

If Europa was so easy to win…. Why hasn’t arsenal won it?

As a villa fan I'm loving everyone giving us very little chance of doing better than 4th, hope it stays that way, all the pressure off as the underdog, next 4 fixtures are against Sheffield Utd, Man Utd, Burnley and then Everton before meeting Newcastle, I hope everyone keeps writing us off ;-)

Could Arteta do that with Villa? Thats the question And it’s no.

Emi Martinez is world class and would walk into any of those teams.

You know Spurs are a big threat when every argument against them was when Antonio Conte was manager.

Dont think the Irish fella realises whats going on at the villa ,the owners are minted and are highly ambitious unai has full control of the football side of things and is building something without any pressure its a great time to be a villa fan UTV

Unai emery hasn't had a single title challenge? He literally won the league at PSG lmao

I'm a United fan but the Top 4 is Aston Villa, Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool, not in order

Emi Martinez is getting into almost every team in the world and he’s not world class?

Villa are favourites for champions league playing great, good manager, decent squad from a toon fan

Of course the Arsenal fan thinks an FA cup is bigger than a european trophy 💀💀💀

The thing is Arsenal fans maybe, just maybe, managers develop and grow in their roles like players do meaning this could be a different approach from Emery from his days at Arsenal

Emery at this moment in time is the 3rd best manager in the league and he's proving it with Villa, I really don't see Villa slowing down and that Brentford win is massive

Emery won 7 trophies at PSG with a 76% win rate. That bloke said he didn't do very well??????

Guy in the white shirt hates Villa 😂 Newcastle favourites and arteta a better manager than Emery. And oh wait FA Cup is bigger than europa league 😂😂😂

Newcastle fans conveniently forgetting the 3-0 in April? We're pretty neck and neck, we both play open so it goes either way!

Newcastle surprised everyone last season but they got champions league Villa could do the same. The fans of some clubs try to talk down the likes of Villa and Newcastle showing their disrespect

Does this arsenal fan not realise that Emery winning the 1 league title and 4 domestic trophies in france is the reason arsenal signed him in the first place. Not to mention the fact the season they sacked emery he got them to 5th, a place higher than Wenger's last season and a European final. Calling arteta a better manager at this stage in artetas career is laughable.

The way Arsenal fans view Emery is pathetic.

Arsenal bloke literally personifies what they are.

Is this guy deluded? FA cup better than Europa League? Mental

Villa arent in a top 4 race. They are in a title race. If any 'top 6' club had they're form you'd that without a doubt they are in a title race

This guy thinks 1 FA Cup is better than 4 Europa Leagues 1 French League win and 6 cups. What an absolute melt

Damn, this panel really doesnt know what they’re on about

Arsenal have spent over 500 million, won an FA cup and Arteta is now a top manager 😂

Only 18 months ago arsenal fans were baying for artetas blood.

World Class: Why does no one mention Martinez?

Newcastle and Spurs injuries are no fluke, their intense style of play stresses the players out more and makes them more injury prone

Newcastle just need one high quality attacker in January, on the basis players come back from injury and attacker would make a huge difference, RW or striker

Newcastle and Spurs have had injuries to key players which has clearly affected them. But Villa have been missing Mings & Buendia all season and up until 2 weeks ago Ramsey & Moreno - that's 4 first team players. Also when asking which of those teams have world class players...Emi Martinez lads!?

To suggest the FA Cup is a bigger trophy than the Europa League is WILD 🤯

No bottle job. We are years ahead of schedule. And it’s not as though we are 17+ points ahead. Our goal was 5th (Europa League). All that’s happening now is just a beautiful unexpected occurrence.

Did we not have this same discussion last week and the week before ??

Villa's next three League fixtures... Sheff U (h), Man Utd (a), Burnley (h)

Everyone is forgetting the sample size when comparing emery vs arteta which is crazy. Arteta is in his 4th year, emery was coaching in 2004. Let’s see what arteta is doing in 10 years time before drawing comparisons

There is not one single legitimate argument to suggest arteta is a better manager than unai emery. 1 FA cup is not more impressive than 4 EL wins. Arsenal fans overrate arteta so much. He's a great coach who's really transformed arsenal into a force but until he's won even half of what unai emery has won its a moronic comparison.

It was needed change for both no debate needed

Sorry ,i'm a toon fan but i can't see us getting top 4 again this season unless we get some back up in jan and players stay fit. Will just have to settle for both domestic cups lol 😂😂😂

I don’t get writing off united but not surprised ( they absolutely bashed united for like the whole stream)

If you can't see Bruno G's world class I'm not convinced you can see fucking anything 😂

As a villa fan I think we may slip of at some point but can't see us dropping any lower than 5th this season though now . Also my god that arsenal fan is unbearable. I like arteta and in the long run he has potential to be on peps level but to say he's better than emery now is a joke . Ain't saying he won't be better but he's won nothing but an FA cup which emery got them to the quarters or semis anyways so he had two games to play 🤷‍♂️. And bottled the title last season

Newcastle Villa is the definition of the game which is whoevers at home wins

FA cup a bigger achievement over europa league. OUTRAGEOUS TAKE !!!!!

Villa have one of the best keepers in the world

No doubt Newcastle and Spurs in particular have been crippled with injuries, but everyone overlooks Villa have had 4 first players out from the start of the season, we now have Kamara out for 3 games. Ramsey and Moreno have just come back after months out. Mings and Buendia wont be back this season. We just cant afford Watkins, Luiz or Martinez to get injured. I dont think we are title contenders realistically, I would love top 4 it would be a massive achievement! But if we are a couple of points off in March to the top, ill start dreaming! Its been brilliant so far this season as a villa fan, god knows we have suffered enough..!

If intensity is your identity, it ain't long before injuries become your identity.

The ref was bad but it was a MasterClass from Emery and the game was won before kick off. Arteta has to calm down on the line because players will follow his reaction and this happened, you needed him on the line but he could not influence the team because he was in the stands, the second mistake was allowing Villa to kick towards the Holte End first half and because of the way they played against Man City they did not have the legs to repeat it so they were always going to go hard for 20 minutes and after they scored they dropped into a defensive shape as there was no way that they could play football against Arsenal on that day. They were willing to let Arsenal have the majority of the ball. Second half the substitution he made was tactical by stopping the flow of the game because he knew Arsenal would be strong and would press hard so stopping the flow was key. The other big issue was on Saturday the only time we played out from the back was for the goal and after that Villa kicked long taking out the Arsenal midfield. The other big issue was when Arsenal did have the chance they did not take them. You need a striker. I know on the eye Arsenal played well but there was no way Villa were going toe to toe, and finally people have not caught on that Emery changes his tactics for each team but keeps his defensive line strong when they don’t have to ball. It did not help with AFTV as the players were shown that clip from Ty last season and has been doing the rounds on Villa Twitter

Over a calendar year Villa are 2nd on points, yet they think it’s a this season thing! 😂

This is what happens when you get couple of guys that play fifa, in a room talking about football

The Guy in The White shirt is having a howler😮😅

Man saying arteta is better than Emery, wtf has arteta won?

I think it’s between Spurs and Villa. Villa home record of 15 straight wins in insane. They are the only team in the top 5 leagues apart from athletico Madrid who haven’t dropped point at home. I don’t know why so much weight is going into the 5-1 lose to Newcastle when Villa beat Newcastle at home 3-0 before this. And they both draw when on a neutral ground in the USA. I doubt Newcastle will win that fixture. Their away form is literally relegation level. I also have think people are forgetting that there is no European football for anyone in the Europas until march as they all finished top of their groups. I also don’t think Newcastle are ready for UCL football and would have to sell players for ffp next season.

How are title challenges “unexpected” when a club spends 250m in consecutive transfer windows?????

I just cant beleive he said that fa cup was more important than europa. A title that gets you in to the europa league and yet the europa league gets you in the champions league

There is sooooo much energy in the room 😂 imagine a night out jesus lol

I had no idea the Irish Guy was a Newcastle fan

Arsenal fans are the reason why I enjoy watching that club's downfall. How the hell is the FA Cup a bigger trophy than Europa League??? 😂😂😂😂

Finally respect on our name!

Newcastle are having as many injuries as most teams competing for top 4 pretty much

one point the 5-1 lose to newcastle was solely due to how horrific mings injury was and from that point villa fell apart. if it weren’t for that horrific injury the game would of been close

Arsenal Fans are absolutely deluded to even think Arteta is comparable to Emery

Villa should be favorites for the 4'th spot. They are really strong, from a Newcastle fan. I think Newcastle will finish between 5-7th place if we pick up form away for the 2'nd part of the season, and with some good cup runs, that would be a fine season, for me, remembering that we are barely halfway through the Original rebuild plan which was set to 5 years.

This foolish guy just said FA cup is better than Europa League 😂

Guys some people just don't work in certain situations. Emery did not fit Arsenal because of the brand of football Arsenal want to play. In the same way that Jose didn't fit Tottenham though I would say Jose was probably the bigger success at Tottenham having them top at Christmas. If you actually watched the games you knew it wouldn't work for Emery at Arsenal. There were many games where the team scraped past despite not playing well and when the luck ran out he had to go. Emery is doing much better at Villa in terms of how he is setting up the team than he ever did at Arsenal and it isn't close.

Newcastle fans seem to forget we battered them at Villa park last year 🤣🤷🏾‍♂️

Not even a mention of Bentancur. We haven't even seen Spurs strongest XI yet. A fully fit spurs starting lineup from February onwards with Mikey Van De Ven, Bentancur and Maddison back is going to surprise alot of people. People also forget Spurs were running Villa off the park they got extremely lucky to beat Spurs where as against City and Arsenal Villa looked the better side in both of those games.

Both VIlla and Newcastle have really strong backbones to their 11, Pope, Trip, Botman, Dan Byrne, Schur Guimaraes and Joelinton is a really strong group of lads for any club. VIlla have Martinez, Konsa, McGinn, Douglas Luiz and you could even include Moreno. I think many clubs player for player may be on paper a better outfit than both Newcastle and Villa, but what is absolutely vital is that the backbone of a side is solid. When you look at sides that are underachieving, Chelsea and Man Utd i will use as an example. Man Utd have Maguire, Mctominay, Bruno and Rashford as the foundation to their squad, yes you could include Varane but he is in my opinion too injury prone to be included. Chelsea on the other hand in my opinion don't actually have any structured backbone to their squad. The sheer amount of new players for me shows that the one thing Chelsea haven't got is that regular 6 or 7 names playing week in week out and providing Chelsea with the leadership side of the game.

The spurs fan is the only one who is level headed and who makes sense. The one Newcastle fan (not Brian) and the Chelsea fan are the most annoying with zero football knowledge.

Didn't Arteta's team fall apart at the end of last season too?

I think Howe will fail to get Champs league and eventually get sacked. He's not elite. The way they play can be devastating, but Howe hasn't got much depth to his coaching ability. Jury is out on Ange, he's looking like a Bielsa type manager to me. One gear, top gear. Not dissimilar to Howe. Not surprised Newcastle and Spurs are getting injuries. There's three elite managers in the Prem, Pep, Klopp and Emery. When Arteta has won a few good trophies he can enter the conversation. At the moment he's only a nose ahead of Emery's Villa with a much more expensively assembled squad.

ONLY an English man would say that the fa cup is a bigger trophy than the Europa league

This debate reminds of how fickle fans are how are we comparing a manager who has managed for 15 years + vs a manager who literally going into his 4th both have one trophies if anything it shows that arteta is better then people thought and emery is also a very good manager.

Seems obvious but it’ll come down to form. Now City are without Haaland and De Bruyne, the teams in the top 6 are more or less comparable so it’s just about who can sustain good form.

Main thing is "how many points do you think Villa will get at home?" Because if they win most of those games....they are in the mix.

I always liked Emery and I'm happy he's doing well, but he was horrible for Arsenal. He set the team up to concede 30+ shots against bottom tier clubs. Arsenal were in free fall when they finally sacked him. I hate this "Arsenal should have kept Emery" conversation that people have because it's so obvious they just weren't paying attention at the time

Arsenal fans talk about Emery like a bitter ex who massively regrets letting his gf go but wont admit it

Very ironic seeing the Arsenal fan saying the Europa league didn’t matter, As if they weren’t devasted when Chelsea ripped them apart in baku.

When you win the Europa League you get a ticket to the UCL. When you win the FA cup,you get a ticket to the Europa league. Thats should tell you which one is bigger.

emi martinez is world class surely?

Emery had PSGs best ever campaign statistically and trophy wise and the guy says he didn't do very well😂😂😂 🙈

Not even Guardiola or Klopp could what Emery is doing at Villa

make a channel that’s specifically for the uploaded live streams cos i can never find any

why are Newcastle in the convo and Man united aren't 1 point difference plus united have a higher celling what if rashford casemiro bruno their back 4 all stay fit and start to preform what if Hojlund starts to score

Saying the FA cup is bigger than the Europa league is actually nuts
