Surprise of the night Garnacho, shows what a couple of weeks with Emery, plus wanting to learn, can do. He really had a good game non stop involved, looking like he was enjoying it. Gomes had a great game, Harwood Bellis looks like he will be a regular, and a shout out to the two young lads who came in at Left back, great to see Emery involving the young lads. Max Jenner looks like he could be the next one, fast tracked, add him to Hemmings, Allyson and big Brian and the future is looking bright.

Where our subs helped us, I think their mass of subs, seemed to throw them off balance completely. After all that, yet another trophy for the cupboard HaHa, great to see before the game, just how much Emery is respected and appreciated by others and not just Villa. In saying that I'm not including VJ and a couple of others, only joking VJ 🤔🤔UTV.

Dave things looking positive,we know success won't happen over night, however things are very promising now we have more fit players and time for the new boys to settle in.
IEWT.

Dave can't wait to get Goretzka fit, will take a lot of pressure off Kamara, who hasn't looked at his best. going back to Garnacho, he honestly looked like he was enjoying his football again. Honestly believe exciting times ahead. UTV.

I'm still sceptical, I'd like to see him perform well in the PL before I change my mind on him, still a pony for me 🤣🤣.

With all this with City, it appears that the league,are really looking to punish them. When you see the scale of their fiddling, it was on an industrial scale, talk of at the moment £900m. When and if the Premier do punish them I wouldn't be surprised, if UEFA get involved, because your going to get Euro teams claiming foul as well. The rumours of the amount of money, the owners have tried to slip them illegally is incredible, no wonder Pep decided to do a runner.

Premier and Euro teams will be queuing up with their individual claims against them, you can bet Liverpool and Arsenal will have their say. Villa should be looking at sorting our out, during that time, we've had lots of close ones with them, remember the cup. UTV.

Unfortunately the investigation was only up to 2017/18 season so probably wouldn't affect our cup final.
Even if they are stripped of titles, they probably won't pass them on, similar to Armstrong's Tour de France wins.
Unless we finished 1 position away from something during that time (survival, title, champions league) where they could be considered a direct reason then we won't get anywhere.


I could be wrong but I think the best we'd have done without them above us during those years is an extra UEFA cup spot towards the end of O'Neill's time, Spurs would still have beaten us to Champions League.

Yes but they overspent and laid the foundations for a deeper squad. Without the overspend they wouldn't have had the bigger sponsorship deals etc later on to make them sustainable.

Buck this is exactly my thinking. any cheating put them in the false position they were in, the positive effects lasted from the start of the cheating until present day.

Any team that played against them was cheated by them. All these teams deserve some compensation, even non prem teams in cups, and in Europe. Obviously some teams were affected more than others, and would be better compensated.
Expel them from the Prem and let the efl decide if they even want them, and yes I really do feel sorry for the fans and staff.

The coverage on sky over the 115 case is shocking, its getting covered everywhere nonstop but cos it's 1 of there precious big 6, they're hardly covering. It's the biggest sporting news in Europe. sky sports is a joke any other team say villa or Everton they would all over it.

City need to get the worst ever punishment to set an example so no other club dares to even think about doing it. the premier league reputation now means nothing, it's a joke and corrupt city should be relegated. or non league if they get away with this say 20 points then every club might as well do the same, cheating is the worst in any sport you do.

There's nothing to report though.

27 Sep 2026 21:07:05
I see my news feed on the sky app covered in stories about it until the international games started, nothing new to report since. sky will have to cover it as it will get all the viewers, I think this conspiracy theory is pushing it a tad.


I do think they should be relegated at least to league one, they need to be set back a few years.
