Sky really are shoving this Emery is Ideal for Man U garbage down everyone's throat. The man is employed by Aston Villa, no respect at all for the club, manager or fans of Aston Villa at all.

A huge congratulations to Manchester City, who today have SHATTERED the Premier League's attendence record against Brighton, over 234,000 tickets sold for todays game 🤯 That now brings Man City's gate reciepts to £310m so far this season, the next closest tea, is Liverpool with £20m. Fair play that is some going 👏

When people took about the ‘6 clubs this and the six clubs that’….remember - Aston Villa is football, we founded the whole fucking thing, that history will never be taken away

You can think whatever you want about Villa but you can’t think this is normal! This should be game analysis! Find me one example in recent history where a similar thing happened! Campaign for the manager of the UCL club to leave the club for another club mid-season! That NEVER happened before. And no manager in recent Premier League history has done it! That’s how insane it is! #avfc
"He would probably be the only one that I would trust" Jamie Redknapp on Unai Emery having the ability to turn Manchester United around 🔴

In Paris right now the army is deployed with weapons in hand to defend churches. And we all know why. No Christian would ever attack a church.

More facts for anyone interested...
Prince Albert apologised for slavery back in 1840 in a speech at an international anti-slavery meeting in London. 186 years ago… Perhaps the Prime Minister would do better to focus on the 50 million people enslaved TODAY - four times the number transported throughout 300 years of transatlantic slavery.

International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH): Lists Open Society among its private financial partners. World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT): Reported receiving 620,616.71 Swiss francs from Open Society in 2024.

The Romans enslaved Britons, this is not contested. If you think Britain should apologise and pay reparations for its role in the slave trade you have to explain why Italy shouldn't do the same for Britain.
