John McGinn: “Roy Keane’s comments? He’s getting slagged for it. I didn’t think what he said was that bad. He followed it up with something complimentary. No, he was right. The amount of games that I’m looking like a pub player is becoming less & less as I get older.” @itvfootball #avfc
@mjmarr_star There’s a reason we gave him a 5 year contract 2 years ago at 31/32. Since then we’ve had 2 top seasons and are continually on the up. Champions League again next season. He’s a club legend. So why such an eagerness to go from his side, and apparent happiness to sell on ours?
Seeing a lot of gleeful mickey-taking from people who you’d imagine would snatch your arm off if you offered their clubs the season Arsenal have just had.
@danbardell Get the feeling he’s that married to Villa currently that teams just don’t bother - in the same way Pep/Klopp were never linked with other jobs. There’s reports United and Bayern (pre-Kompany appt) might have tried it in the past too and been knocked back
I am floating!! I dreamed about lifting a trophy around Birmingham for 8 years but that was special!! Let’s make sure it’s not the last time Aston Villa are in centenary square!! This isn’t the end this is just the beginning!! UTV 💜💜
The biggest compliment I can pay Unai is that he’s normalised this. Champions League qualification twice in 3 years. European qualification in all 4 of his seasons here. These things just didn’t happen before he arrived.
@avfc_stef@leteretterverdi We wouldn’t have needed to cancel anything, Charlotte would have just picked up Villa’s tab where we left off. I get his decision - an MLS move would have left him there until November and further kick the can down the road in terms of uncertainty. But it was his choice
Everyone punch drunk about Burnham.
I hope they’re confident that his experience stacks up sufficiently to deal with Putin, negotiate with EU, China, the Trump administration, Iran, manage energy shocks, etc.
Does anyone know what his plan is? Does he? This is all a bit daft.
