UP THE VILLA. 👑

[Dec Pierce @DecPierce]

Good morning to the Villa fans who saw us around the bottom of the Championship. The celebrating winning a corner away at Arsenal while getting relegated Villans. The Dr Tony circus Villans. The accidental tweet of a sports car after 6 nil hammering Villans. Have a great day #UTV

@AVFCStatto Much love ❤️ UTV!!

Unai Emery’s record as Aston Villa manager is truly remarkable when looked at in its entirety.

He took over in October of 2022 with the team 14th and just 3 points off the relegation zone following on from a dismal end to the tenure of Steven Gerrard.

From there, they won 15 of their remaining Premier League fixtures to finish 7th and qualify for the Conference League. In the 2023/24 season that followed, they finished 4th in the top flight, qualifying for the Champions League whilst making it to the semi-finals of the Conference League simultaneously.

The 2024/25 season saw them reach the Champions League quarter-finals where they were knocked out 5-4 on aggregate by eventual winners PSG despite being 5-1 down after just 27 minutes of the second leg, they also made it to an FA Cup semi-final and finished just outside of the Champions League places again.

This season, after a very poor opening few weeks by their standards, they’ve won 13 of their last 15 in all competitions, including their last 7 on the bounce, with their most recent win coming at home to league leaders Arsenal with pretty much the last kick of the game. They’re 3rd in the Premier League, just 3 points off the Gunners at the top and are also 3rd in the Europa League, level on points with Lyon who sit in 1st on goal difference.

The true measure of Emery’s success over the last 3 and a bit years though, is that his win % at Aston Villa stands at 55.28% across 161 matches, well clear of George Ramsey’s record of 49.59% at the top of the charts for every manager in the club’s history.

Villa are a massive football club, their description as a “sleeping giant” of English football was well founded before Emery’s arrival but what he has done there deserves to be shouted about from the rooftops. It’s no wonder they all think he walks on water.

John McGinn is close to signing a new contract with #avfc. The ‘Meatball’ story keeps on going. At a cost of just £2.5m he is one of the bargains of the decade https://t.co/hU6loq2K4Q

An exceptional and really exciting milestone for our humble studio.

It’s truly hard to make games, and it’s just as hard selling them and getting anyone to care. I’ve been grateful for this journey; it’s given me vital perspective on the industry I never would’ve otherwise had.

Get up at 9:45.

Sign into PlayStation Direct. Sunk deep into the queue (1+ hour).

Go to https://t.co/JZ2J5qXJgf, buy 30th anniversary controller.

Not waiting more. Back to bed.

Wake up at 1 to my wife telling me Pro consoles are still on Direct.

Nab one.

It all worked out.

My personal opinion on Champions League pricing, supporter loyalty, the great job on and off the pitch and the importance of all being unified.

Hope it makes sense to many Villans and club staff.

Stan.
