@footballontnt Pretty impressive that he's visiting them in alphabetical order.

@primevideosport 115 goals is an interesting number for a City player 👀

@afcjxmes Two successive loans followed by a contract termination by mutual consent

[BarryNoToes @BarryNoToes]

@afcjxmes Let's be honest. If he's gone to Sunderland is he really the level we needed? I don't think we should be getting too annoyed by that. I'd much rather keep the money for January that to bring in someone for the sake of it

@pdh86 @SonnySRM @4Pramod You're right Emery's record at mid to upper-mid table teams has proven admirable throughout his career. He's always choked when the stakes are higher though. The spend is a favourite topic of ours when rival fans raise it. Others have spent more and won less. We are not outliers

[BarryNoToes @BarryNoToes]

@pdh86 @SonnySRM @4Pramod It's cool that he learnt lessons from his record breaking decline at Arsenal. And bringing some moderate success back to a once great club like Villa is kinda cute

[BarryNoToes @BarryNoToes]

@pdh86 @SonnySRM @4Pramod Hey, I didn't say he hasn't evolved and improved as a coach since he left Arsenal. I thought we were discussing that time at Arsenal, not his current position, which I haven't looked into that much really. It seems you're very happy with him and that's great!

[BarryNoToes @BarryNoToes]

@pdh86 @SonnySRM @4Pramod But he's a specialist in bringing moderate sucees with mid to upper-mid table sides as you quite rightly point out. So really you should be happy that he failed at Arsenal and PSG, as he's done a fantastic job at Villa...

[BarryNoToes @BarryNoToes]

@pdh86 @SonnySRM @4Pramod The decline was obvious to see and we cut him loose. He was given time and the direction was alarming

[BarryNoToes @BarryNoToes]

@pdh86 @SonnySRM @4Pramod This also happened with overall league position, as we only needed 1 win from the final 5 games to secure Champions League qualification and failed. His time was over the next season when he steered us to our worst run in decades with 7 games without a win

[BarryNoToes @BarryNoToes]

@pdh86 @SonnySRM @4Pramod Eventually the results regressed in line with those underlying metrics and things started falling apart. It was a running joke how we'd be 2-0 and he'd make calamitous substitutions and throw away the result

[BarryNoToes @BarryNoToes]

@pdh86 @SonnySRM @4Pramod Well if we want to get into why he very much failed at Arsenal. After losing his first two games, Emery's Arsenal went on a 22 game unbeaten run, which while looking good for the often quoted statics comparing his and Arteta's performance at Arsenal

[BarryNoToes @BarryNoToes]

@HandofArsenal I dream of his floor too. I hear it's parquet flooring finished with a a lovely herringbone pattern

[BarryNoToes @BarryNoToes]

@pdh86 @4Pramod He managed to finish 2nd in Ligue 1. With PSG. Generational calamity. Managed to win it in his second year but the damage was already done!

[BarryNoToes @BarryNoToes]

@djisefm @Jon_Mackenzie Seconded. Got the miniature horses song in my head now

[BarryNoToes @BarryNoToes]

@afcjxmes Dislike for the context. Like for the Brass Eye reference.
