WHY WOULD EMERY LEAVE VILLA? MAN CITY ANGER & REASONS TO BELIEVE | THE COFFEE BREAK
Grab a coffee and join me at Fika in Cannock for a proper Villa chat.
I’ve got plenty to get off my chest about Manchester City and what this whole situation means for the game we love. I remember going to Maine Road, and I feel for the loyal supporters who stood by their club through everything. But what about the memories, opportunities and seasons other supporters can never get back? How did football end up here?
Then there’s the Unai Emery to Manchester United talk. Why on earth would he walk away from what he’s building at Villa for that mess? I get into Guillem Balagué’s comments, the authority Unai has here and why any future move would have to be on his terms.
And just look at the options he’s got! Alysson, Mbaye, Manzambi, McGinn and Buendia there’s so much to be excited about. Daz Hale’s observation about how happy Unai looks really struck a chord with me.
Plus, Ross Barkley: from someone plenty would have happily sold to a player I now see as a critical part of this squad. Another reminder of just how good our manager is.
We finish with a message ahead of City at Villa Park. Get behind our players, stay with them when it gets difficult and give this team everything.

IN THE TUNNEL | ASTON VILLA V MANCHESTER CITY | TIME TO STOP THE PERFECT START
Seven games, seven wins. Manchester City arrive at Villa Park flying but we’ve beaten them here in each of the last three seasons. Can we do it again?Join me, Justin, for IN THE TUNNEL as we look ahead to Saturday’s clash. We’ve picked up seven points from our last three league games and head into this one after beating Viking in Europe. This is a big test, but there are reasons for us to believe.Before the football, I’ll have my say on the commission’s findings against City, the financial rules they broke and what that means for supporters of clubs trying to compete within those rules. City have appealed, with sanctions still to be decided—but there’s plenty for us to discuss.Then it’s into City’s threats, where Villa might find opportunities and the team I think Unai could pick.My predicted XI: Suzuki; Cash, Lindelöf, Pau Torres, Maatsen; Gomes, Kamara; McGinn on the right, Manzambi through the middle, Mbaye on the left; Jackson up front. That’s my prediction, subject to fitness and the latest team news.Would you go with that team? Where can we hurt City and what’s your score prediction?Leave your thoughts below, subscribe and follow Justin Talks Villa for more Villa discussion.Up the Villa! 💜💙#AVFC #AstonVilla #ManchesterCity #InTheTunnel #JustinTalksVilla

THE WARM DOWN | NINE FROM NINE! ASTON VILLA 3–1 VIKING
Three Champions League games, three wins. Nine points from nine. These European nights at Villa Park are becoming a bit of a habit!
Join me for The Warm Down as we get into Villa’s 3–1 win over Viking. Ross Barkley headed us in front, Emi Buendía put away the penalty, and Alysson forced the own goal that gave us our third.
And there’s plenty to talk about with Alysson. Winning the penalty, running at defenders and making things happen exactly what you want when a young player gets his opportunity. With Ibrahim Mbaye supplying the corner for Barkley’s opener too, have the pair given Unai Emery a selection headache?
We’ll discuss the performances, Gomes filling in at right-back, the chances we should have taken and that frustrating late goal.
Who was your man of the match? And who keeps their place against Manchester City? Get your thoughts in the comments.
