Unai Emery not even being nominated for manager of the season with a £28m net spend, a top 4 finish and a European trophy at a club that hasn't won a single thing in 30 years is wrong. But it doesn't hurt Villa or Unai Emery, it just ruins the legitimacy of the award.
Usually when a team goes far in the Europa League, League form suffers.
#AVFC win the thing and finish 4th, after the lowest net spend in the league back in the summer.
Unai Emery- pound for pound the best manager in the League and the manager of the season.
Spurs fans were entitled to an outpouring after Premier League survival was secured - but the sight of players celebrating wildly after their third home league win this season just felt embarrassing. No celebrations can disguise what a shambles it's been. https://t.co/BqW4Pbvawx
I’ve waited 30 years to see us win a trophy after 10 year old me watched us win the Coca-Cola Cup in 1996. Worth every disappointment that’s happened in between to get to celebrate us winning the Europa League tonight with my girl enjoying every second by my side! #AVFC 💜🩵
Had some awful news today which 100% puts football into perspective in terms of how unimportant it is compared to your health & happiness.
I’ll be devastated if we lose but it is only football.

Feel sick, can’t comprehend this not being the night we finally win a major trophy. 10 year old me watching us beat Leeds 3-0 in the Coca-Cola Cup final is one of my favourite ever memories. Please add to it tonight @AVFCOfficial 🙏 #AVFC
‘If Aston Villa win the Europa League & finish 5th, England are awarded a 6th Champions League spot’
Forget Bournemouth. SURELY if Everton relegate Spurs, they deserve it 🤝
