Bournemouth fan here. Villa are a class club, good natured passionate fans, great players, great manager and great stadium. Pleased to see them doing well. Hope you get Champions league.

[@gunnerjohnson]

Good win yesterday 👍

[@MindSurf248]

Thanks mate, not been at any of our games, but love the Bournemouth fans channels, and you're playing some great football.

[@leeakram6257]

Good man! Thanks for the support 💪💪

[@sunshinemoonshine4022]

It's all in the hands of the players to focus in the last 4 matches of this season win all 4 and the top trophy is theirs.

[@matthewmullins6801]

Thanks for the appreciation, Bournemouth are doing well themselves this season, well run club 👍

[@robertp2577]

Always and forever will be proud of our club Aston Villa and now we have manager to be proud of too.

تحية طيبة من العراق 🇮🇶 لنادي استون فيلا وكل من يشجع استون فيلا في العالم 🌏 دائما ماكنت اعتقد ان نادي مثل استون فيلا ينقصه مدرب عالمي لقيادة مشروع ناجح مثل مشروع مانشستر ستي مع غوارديولا بالتوفيق لفريقي العزيز استون فيلا ولجمهوره الرائع

[@jamesk1806]

I would love this interview to be in Spanish with subtitles so Unai could express himself more.

[@SamandSteve]

Or Basque.

[@highhopes1616]

​@@SamandSteveI don't think Unai speaks Basque. Actually, not many people in the Basque Country speak it. Even most politicians there don't speak the language, just a few.

[@762mm7]

Great point

[@martinwright2682]

All schools and colleges in the Basque region do most of their lessons in Basque I would see the majority of people under 35 can speak Basque and in most small towns and villages it's spoken.

[@jamesk1806]

He speaks Basque , Spanish, French and English.

Best wishes to Villa and Emery from an Arsenal fan. Been very good this season

[@jasonharvey9157]

Thanks as a Villa fan i would love to see Arsenal win the Premier League this year good luck.

[@marineboy1964]

Great interview , And can I thank Mr Emery for what he has done for my club ,I am 60 this year and I never thought I would see the day of villa back in the champions league , hopefully

[@sunshinemoonshine4022]

We are almost there just need to win all the 4 games that's coming up

[@marineboy1964]

@@sunshinemoonshine4022 I reckon 2 wins or even a win and a draw might be enough. Fingers crossed

[@jefri4176]

​@@marineboy1964I think 3 win is possible against Chelsea who got thrashed by arsenal, Brighton and crystal palace but crystal palace been amazing against Liverpool,Newcastle and west ham 😅. Maybe 3rd win either crystal or Liverpool 😅 3 win and 1 draw 😅

[@xjacb7223]

@@sunshinemoonshine4022 We probably only need to win 3 of them. I expect Tottenham to put their all into the Arsenal game but they could still lose that. Thier lineup is much tougher as they have to play the top 3. We can't rely on GD because Tottenham have Sheffield as their last game

[@bhvillaman4401]

Don't forget Spurs still have to play Chelsea man city and Liverpool away and they've also got arsenal next. 4 pts is all we need I reckon

[@DK-ep2ov]

I bet at the start of the conversations with Unai the target was simply getting back into European football as a first step, and as a final step getting a spot in the CL. This man might get them a European TROPHY and a CL spot in his FIRST season. That is absolutely insane, hats off to you Unai.

[@jefri4176]

Hell yeah, totally overperforming above expectations. Ucl actually might be too early for us next season but why not,the additional financial benefit would be great to get more better player this summer. Still need a right back,centre mid and maybe another striker. Morgan Rogers have been an excellent surprise addition,he is much better than Ramsey,he dribble,pass better than Ramsey 😊🎉

[@RobloxSmurfCat]

@@jefri4176 dont get me wrong, ramsay is always one of our own and rogers is exceptional but rogers i feel needs that step back for a little bit; be a sub but he had to jump straight into it due to huge injuries to key players. etc buendia, mings, kamara. maybe at the end of this season or start of next. he may lose tempo if not

[@bhvillaman4401]

​@@jefri4176I think you're forgetting how good Ramsey actually is, but yeah Rodgers has been top in the past few weeks. He's villas Bellingham rn lol

Absolutely love Unai Emery he's totally changed us for the better I hope he stays at Villa for life. UTV

[@EmiMartinezVillaLegend]

As a Villa fan i simply can’t find enough superlatives in the dictionary for this guy, he’s completely transformed our club. The thing people were saying was we’d struggle with balancing premier league football with European football, but Emery himself said he prefers two games a week to keep the player focused & on target & there’s been no one better for us than this man. *Unai we love you!* 🟣🔵

[@Rob-Birtles1973]

Well said

[@MikeHarris-rz6yr]

I could listen to him speak all day long. It's clear that he has commitment, desire, ambition and drive. He is also aware that this is just the start of this project and continuous improvement and development cannot be achieved overnight. Thank you for everything you have done so far Unai. The fans are so proud to have you at the reins of our club, I wish you every success with our journey. UTV 🧔🏻👍🏻⚽️🦁💜💙🏆🍾🙏🏻

[@ghvilla]

Well said mate!

We love you Don Unai!

[@RenewedRS]

I love how he's talking about his long-term future with the club right off the bat

[@rodvik]

I LOVE this man. Classy, hardworking, humble. Thank you Unai :)

[@Fuxser]

If i told you before the season Aston Villa would be in 4th in april, they beat Arsenal twice, they outplayed Man City at home, Watkins is the top assistmaker in the league + 19 open play goals everyone would say bullshit…. Well here we are. Unai Emery should be manager of the year 100%

[@arniedainter3997]

Been with the villa since 1962 seen a lot of coming & going. I like this guy.

[@adamsky77]

Emery sees AVFC how we Villa fans do and thats part of the magic and part of why he has already become a legend.

[@kaptaink6960]

I love this man

[@bbs1221]

UTV MISTER

[@ny4471]

For everyone that doesn't chase glory in football and support, City, Chelski, Madrid etc. For supporters of local teams , teams that have felt struggle , they know , when a man like Unai comes in and brings great football and pride back to the team that chose you , that you love, that you have been to matches all your life for, you can not thank him enough. Add some silverware and he will be a legend for ever . Thank you for giving us back our great club. We are realistic , we know we are lucky to have the owners and Unai. Long may it continue. Reya De Villa.

[@garymitchell3090]

Brilliant manager. Will go down as a legend. U.T.V.....love to all villa fans.💪💪

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

G O A T !!! ITS THAT simple Not having him called anything Else UTMV

[@theduftmeister]

Forget the big club bias, Emery has to be manager of the season this year. Having prevented Villa sleep walking to the relegation trapdoor under Stevie G, to get us in Champions league contention with mostly the same squad, is nothing short of miraculous.

[@jasonallen-v2y]

Our chosen saviour. God In my eyes UTV

[@DBoy0113]

Emery looking like a young man loving the new look and love to see him getting the appreciation and respect he deserves and the backing he is receiving from villa and the fans he was treated terribly at arsenal

[@PeteEvans-de3jw]

Should be manager of the season without a doubt

[@stephenevans6861]

Love you Unai.

[@danielhilsdon2043]

Emery is the first manager I seen at villa who look younger since he took over all the others aged very fast lol

[@deansimcox1273]

I wanna watch matches and win with Aston villa,what a man. utv

[@xjacb7223]

If this level of performance could become consistent at Aston VIlla I would be over the moon. Sure, becoming one of the top contenders for PL and even CL in a couple years would be amazing, but let's not forget the jump from 16th to 4th in a season and a half. Not only that but we play brilliant, EXCITING football. Even if the future seasons don't improve over what Unai has currently achieved, that's still a remarkable achievement. With Klopp and Liverpool taking a dive in the last month, I can say with confidence that Emery deserves MOTS, and if he doesn't it's an absolute robbery

[@airtonmaciel2724]

Amazing work from everyone at Aston Villa. Proper club, close to finishing the season with a trophy and in UCL

[@leighmillward]

Could listen to this man speak all day long. Very articulate, this man's ideas will take Villa far

[@linky8899]

When I was a boy aged 7 we won the league when I was 8 we won the European cup. That is the age that you fall in love with the game and the team that you will support for the rest of your life. MY TEAM WAS THE BEST IN EUROPE. To see REAL AMBITION AND ACHIEVEMENT AGAIN IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR FOR.

What a guy! Bloody love him..his work ethic and realism and ambition. Been a Villa fan over 40 years and he is impressive. Ron Saunders I held in high regard but Unai is another level. His news of an extension to his contract this week was the best news ever. Really feel we are going to achieve under his guidance.

[@jahmah519]

I think Villa will win that cup & in the final Kate will be there with William who is a devoted fan of that club, as Britains only club in that competition i say lift it for everyone & i think your manager will still be there for a couple of years at least, a few will obviously be after him but he just looks loyal & a very decent bloke who loves where he is, ime a Dundee United fan from north of the border 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I am extremely happy but also fearful why, I'm old enough to remember the days of Ron Saunders, had he not left the club, I feel we could have dominated the 80s....in Emery he is building a team, squad, club that will challenge for Everything, I just hope we dont get close and someone like Barcelona come in for him.....let him get his goal, to win trophies with ASTON VILLA and make history.

Ok I declare myself fan of this man, he's GOOD 🧠👏 it's truly amazing to witness Villa progressively become a better and bigger team 🙏 UTV!

[@creativitycell]

Lets be honest, every Villa fan would be happy if we made Europa League & had a decent Cup this season in any Cup competition! So Emery + players are a season ahead of what I expected! I just hope other Villa fans dont expect TOO much in Champs League (IF!!) AND Prem next season! Even we have a dip like Newcastle doing both, we can still enjoy the next 3 years of "consistent" progression under Unai! Hope we win Conference League, as It will take a load of pressure off the players, huge expectant fan base, and whole Club! Unai really deserves that first Villa Trophy for his incredible work past 18 months, and it will really prove to the entire Football World AGAIN, that Unai is a World Class coach, and the Mighty Villa are finally back, and on a roll! 👍

[@garypowell6406]

I love Unai Emery, he's a class act!

[@UTVilla]

I love this guy, has a clear plan, and the players have bought into it. If we retain players and buy well in the summer, could we improve on this season?

[@johngameson9768]

I see more Emery in Klopp tbh

[@UnaiAmazingery]

Klopp could learn a lot from this man, most notably the no excuse policy that he has implemented in the club.

[@jefri4176]

Yes please. The fans need to be patient. Unai is our Fergie/Wenger/Klopp/Guardiola. Would love to see mant success in many years with him 😊

[@BivvyLife]

Wow.i never get tired of listening to this professor of football he really is a class act. My only hope is that we as fans don't get cocky and over confident should we achieve success. Stay classy folks it's a beautiful characteristic.

[@jimbo200]

Proper good club with CLASS are Bournemouth - well respected by us Villa fans - and your YT channels are quality - mutual respect between both clubs - very rare in football - If there was ever an Emery Mark 2 it would be your manager - class club all round.

Agree. We always get respect from The Cherries. All the best back at them.

Impressed with how much his English improved since his last stint at Arsenal. I'm sad it didn't work at Arsenal because Emery is a top coach. But boy got into our way and prevented us from winning the title after also losing a European final with arsenal. I don't think I can forgive you, Unai.

So nice to see a another club then the usual, compete in titles and I hope Ruben Amorim moves to West Ham 😉

[@kieranharriman7055]

He is quite simply a great great manager who is going under the radar. He takes a team doing poorly and transforms them without huge signings. In my opinion a better manager than Pep or Klopp. Arteta has transformed Arsenal so I don’t include him. UTV. Unai you are adored by the Villa faithful.

[@howie_horace]

Champions League football next year. Well done. Aston Villa

[@neiledwards6149]

Not quite there yet. 3 points against Chelsea would hopefully break Tottenham. 9 point gap even with games in hand for Spurs is a huge ask. Arsenal could help us on Sunday too. UTV.

[@realvilla]

Almost!🙏🏾

[@firstnamelastname-po7cw]

And they've got man city still to play

[@realvilla]

@@firstnamelastname-po7cw and arsenal and Chelsea!

[@brentmurphy4061]

I still think Villa need to win at least two out of their last four games. Spurs have both Burnley and Sheffield United to play. They are more than likely going to win both which would close up that 6 points gap. Hopefully Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool beat them as well as put a few goals on them to worsen their goal difference.

[@floriandhimitri4706]

Aston Villa simple number One

I think Emery deserves to manage a Team in Champions League he did that with Villarreal and now he might do that with Aston Villa 🤔 I wish Aston Villa good luck and their fans deserve to be there and enjoy watching their Team playing Champions League Football ⚽️
