Podcasts about Unai Emery

Join Dan Rolinson and John Townley the morning after Aston Villa lost 0-1 to Arsenal on Monday Night Football, but Unai Emery's side were much improved from the defeat to Brighton.

Aston Villa's Champions League league-phase opponents are confirmed: Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund, Fenerbahçe and Viking all visit Villa Park, while Villa face trips to Barcelona, Club Brugge (again), Galatasaray and Slavia Prague.We assess what lies ahead for the rebuilt Villa team, fixture by fixture: from the reality of an away day at a two-thirds-rebuilt Camp Nou to the banana skin potential of an organised Viking side at Villa Park. Could another European away day to Brugge actually be a blessing in disguise? There's also a third trip this year for Unai Emery's boys to Istanbul. None of it is straightforward to call. This is a Champions League campaign where it is hard to judge expectations of a team we haven't seen play yet, as the players are still being signed and coming through the door. Despite that factor, we judge the difficulty of what lies ahead and what's needed to progress.UTVNew Adidas Originals collection and away kit out now Get extra months free and huge savings on a two-year NordVPN plan here Become a MOMS Member for ad-free & extra shows - MOMS MembershipJoin the show's listener Facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid | Chris Budd - @BUDD_music / Phillip Shaw - @prsgameThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

The Premier League is back, and so is WATG as we Whip Around The Grounds for the first time this season, taking in the standout results and talking points from the opening weekend. From Manchester United and Spurs stumbling to Aston Villa's heavy defeat and late drama at St James' Park, there is already plenty to get into.Then After Review makes its debut as the successor to VARse, with the focus still firmly on refereeing and VAR — but now under a new name. We look at how the season's new refereeing initiatives were applied across Gameweek 1, whether VAR's higher intervention bar is working as intended, and where the line should sit when player safety becomes part of the discussion.Attention then turns to Julian Álvarez, the increasingly difficult situation at Atlético Madrid and whether Arsenal should still be interested with Barcelona remaining part of the picture.Elsewhere, we get into the remarkable value of football memorabilia, Jean-Philippe Mateta's contract situation and the wider questions around club-held extension options, before finishing with terrace songs, Hull's tiger-claw celebration and some of the stranger moments from the opening weekend.Continue the discussion with us.Follow The NN Pod for more Arsenal and football content.All our links: https://beacons.ai/thennpodChapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(01:11) - WATG: Premier League Opening Weekend(03:14) - After Review: New Rules & VAR's Higher Bar(15:57) - Julian Álvarez: Arsenal & the Barcelona Problem(19:15) - Hand of God: Football Memorabilia Millions(22:45) - Jean-Philippe Mateta: The +1 Contract Challenge(27:22) - Terrace Songs: Brentford's New Anthem(30:08) - Hull City's Tiger Claws(31:22) - Unai Emery & Villa's Opening-Day Misery(33:59) - Outro & Aston Villa Preview

And what a weekend it was!Sam Matterface is alongside talkSPORT's Alex Crook and Troy Deeney to unpack all the weekend's action.Newcastle and Liverpool both paid tributes to the late, great Kevin Keegan in fitting fashion, playing out an entertaining 2-2 draw at St James's Park, but were the hosts unfortunate to concede a last minute penalty?Elsewhere it was an afternoon to forget for Aston Villa, they were hammered 4-0 by Brighton and it could have been much much worse. Ollie Watkins missed the game ahead of an impending move to Saudi Arabia and his manager Unai Emery was not pleased, Troy tells him he has nothing to moan about.Plus, we get Crooky's verdict on his big day out at the MKM to watch Hull beat Man United, Troy basks in the glory of Spurs defeat to Brentford, and we pick some heroes and villains from the opening weekend.Instagram: @talkSPORTTwitter: @talkSPORT YouTubeWebsite Hosted on Acast.

Ander Iturralde da la bienvenida a Rafa Pastrana, Santiago Tomasi y Gonzalo Carol para analizar toda la acción del primer fin de semana de la Premier League 2026-2027... Comenzando por el vibrante empate entre Newcastle y Liverpool en los respectivos estrenos de Matthias Jaissle y Andoni Iraola que, en efecto, vio a ambos llevarse algo del encuentro; continuando por la brillante puesta en escena del Arsenal para reafirmar su estatus de campeón para desmenuzar al Coventry City en la apertura del telón a la temporada; la cual ha tenido un comienzo de ensueño para un Hull City que fue capaz de hacer la machada de ganar al Manchester United; algo que también pudo replicar otro recién ascendido como el Ipswich logrando derrotar al Sunderland; continuando por el deslumbrantemente arrollador triunfo del Brentford sobre el Tottenham en un partido para el recuerdo de lo desigualado que fue; mientras que mucho más igualada fue la misión que tuvo que superar el Manchester City para ganar mediante remontada al nuevo Bournemouth de Marco Rose; pero no para el Brighton, que con una goleada barrió del mapa al Aston Villa de Unai Emery; siendo bastante más difícil para el Leeds pero finalmente recompensado en los mismos tres puntos al derrotar al Nottingham Forest; como también hizo el Everton ante el Crystal Palace; antes de sumergirnos en el resumen de qué ha ocurrido en Championship con la derrota del West Ham y la todavía más preocupante derrota del Leicester contra el Burton Albion en tercera división; cerrando con la explicación jurídica del curioso caso de disputa contractual de Jean-Philippe Mateta con el Crystal Palace y mucho más.Versión en vídeo: https://youtu.be/GJOd1IVUTukApoya a que Alineación Indebida pueda prosperar, accede a todo nuestro contenido premium y a nuestro server de Discord suscribiéndote por tan sólo 1.00$/1.00€ en: https://www.patreon.com/alineacionindebida/posts/iraola-rescata-y-167504309Además...

The Premier League is back and there were plenty of shocks in the opening weekend, not least Spurs being beaten out of sight by Brentford and Hull City taking Manchester United apart.But who has more to worry about: Manchester United's Michael Carrick or Spurs' Robert De Zerbi?Gabby, Nedum & Mark get stuck into two very different problems and two very different ways to handle an opening day shock defeat: the Michael Carrick method of keep calm and carry on and Roberto De Zerbi's slightly more fiery approach of publicly throwing players under the bus who are making you look bad.Also on the show, another shock defeat saw Aston Villa thumped 4-0 at Brighton. Less than nine months ago Unai Emery's side were title contenders now they've sold their best players, more want to leave and Villa are staring down the barrel of a tough season - how did this happen and what does it say about the Premier League if only a few teams can afford to try and win it?Elsewhere we celebrate Liverpool v Newcastle the greatest head to head in Premier League history, Nedum gives us the inside scoop on an iconic Premier League penalty and 18 year old wonder kid Ayyoub Bouaddi is in the spotlight as his move to Manchester City takes a step closer.

Let's start Saturday morning with some transfer news! With just ten days remaining of the window, there's still lots of work for Unai Emery and Aston Villa to do.

Aston Villa head to Brighton, to begin their 26/27 Premier League, against an uncertain backdrop. Ollie Watkins has told the club he'd like to leave for Al Hilal and Unai Emery doesn't have too many players to turn to, selection wise.Dan Bardell is back to discuss it all.

Aston Villa may have lost their 100% run in European finals in their Super Cup loss to Paris Saint-Germain in Salzburg, but it provided an insight into the actual starting line-up for the upcoming Premier League season, despite most fans thinking it was a one-off changed line-up in terms of a competitive game. Brian Madjo's goal was the night's one moment of real distinction, making the 17-year-old the youngest player ever to score in a Super Cup final. This week's episode is a catch-up recorded before the season proper begins, working through what is actually happening and what it means.The decision to name Emiliano Martínez, Ezri Konsa and Ollie Watkins in the squad but not play any of them is picked apart directly, alongside the individual performances that did go well — Madjo's redemption arc after missing earlier chances. We also look at the goalkeeper saga that's reopened: the move for Zion Suzuki from Parma and Juventus playing footsy with Martinez, only to do the dirty on him.It closes on the bigger picture — the scale of this summer's overhaul, described on the show as bigger than anything seen under Unai Emery at Villa so far, and the uncertainty it brings for the season ahead.UTVNew Adidas Originals collection and away kit coming 22.08.26Get three months free and huge savings on a two-year NordVPN plan here Become a MOMS Member for ad-free & extra shows - MOMS MembershipJoin the show's listener Facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid | Chris Budd - @BUDD_music / Phillip Shaw - @prsgameThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

Winning the Europa League was supposed to be another step forward for Aston Villa. Instead, the summer has brought significant change, with key players and coaches leaving.

Rio Ferdinand sits down with new Manchester United midfielder Youri Tielemans to discuss his surprise move to Old Trafford, his first conversations with Michael Carrick and why joining United was an opportunity he couldn't turn down.Tielemans reveals what Carrick told him about his role, why the United boss sees similarities between them and how he wants Tielemans to control the tempo, take responsibility in possession and how he can help connect United's defence with their attacking players.The Belgium captain gives his early assessment of his new midfield partners, discussing what Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo and Andrey Santos can each bring to the team. He explains why Bruno is a "nightmare" to play against, where Mainoo can still improve and why Santos could give United's midfield the security to attack with more freedom.Tielemans also reveals some of the early details he's picked up inside the United squad - including which player was first to message him after his move, the funniest player on the training pitch and why he's been pleasantly surprised with the ego and ‘edge' within the leadership group of senior players.He opens up on playing alongside Marcus Rashford at Aston Villa and why the player he saw every day was completely different to the public perception around him, praising his commitment, attitude and the qualities he can bring back to United.Youri also reflects on becoming a Champions League player at just 16, the advice he'd give JJ Gabriel aged 15 and what he learned under Unai Emery at Aston Villa.Plus, Tielemans builds his ultimate five-a-side team from the players he's shared a pitch with, featuring Vincent Kompany, Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku and Jamie Vardy – revealing what made Hazard unlike anyone he'd ever played with and why Lukaku doesn't get the respect he deserves.

Aston Villa face Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup final at Stadion Salzburg on Wednesday 12 August — Europa League holders against Champions League holders. An unlikely win will lift Villa up a tier in English teams in terms of European royalty, as not many can boast two Super Cup wins to their name. This week's episode asks the question the squad list can't quite answer yet: is Emery's side actually ready, with the transfer window still open and noticeably weaker than in recent seasons due to injuries and World Cup returning player doubts.The team-news picture is complicated. Lucas Digne's move to PSG has finally been made official, weeks after it was widely reported as done. Johan Manzambi is a confirmed absentee, having knee treatment with no return date given. And the three World Cup finalists — Emiliano Martínez, Ezri Konsa and Ollie Watkins — are only just back in training (we hope) after three weeks off, leaving Unai Emery to decide how much to risk from the opening whistle.Villa have five players missing from the XI who started Villa's last competitive meeting with PSG — Marcus Rashford, Morgan Rogers, Youri Tielemans, Amadou Onana and Digne - and there hasn't been an upgrade on any of the positions. If nothing else, the game will provide an unflinching assessment of where the squad actually stands with just over two weeks to go to the new season. At best, Villa, with a bit of luck will carry on their proud unbeaten European final history.Odds, history, and one very specific plan for Alejandro Garnacho — this week's episode has the full build-up before kick-off.Get three months free and huge savings on a two-year NordVPN plan here Become a MOMS Member for ad-free & extra shows - MOMS MembershipJoin the show's listener Facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid | Chris Budd - @BUDD_music / Phillip Shaw - @prsgameThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

Aston Villa are far from full strength for the Super Cup vs PSG. Unai Emery admits "we won't be in our best moment." Still, a brilliant opportunity for those who play...

On this week's episode of The Joy of Football Podcast, Martin Tyler and Neil Barnett begin their 2026/27 Premier League season preview, taking an in-depth look at the first ten clubs alphabetically as the new campaign approaches. From champions Arsenal and a reshaped Chelsea, to newly promoted Coventry City, European hopefuls and teams simply looking to survive, Martin and Neil assess the transfers, managers, expectations and biggest questions facing each club. The preview begins with reigning Premier League champions Arsenal, as Martin and Neil discuss Mikel Arteta's attempts to retain the title following a season which also saw the Gunners reach the Champions League Final. New arrivals including Bruno Guimarães are assessed, while the pair discuss Arsenal's unsuccessful pursuit of Vinícius Júnior, whether the Premier League is still attracting the world's biggest individual stars, and whether a long domestic and European campaign followed by the FIFA World Cup could finally catch up with Arteta's squad. Attention then turns to Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Brentford and Brighton. Unai Emery faces another period of change at Villa Park following the departures of Morgan Rogers to Chelsea and Youri Tielemans to Manchester United, while Martin and Neil assess whether Villa can maintain their place among Europe's elite. They also look at Bournemouth's latest rebuild, Brentford's attempts to build on an impressive season and Brighton's seemingly endless ability to identify new talent while continuing to compete in Europe. In Martin's Letter From The Gantry, Martin returns to the commentary box for Colchester United against Southampton in the Carabao Cup, but the story extends far beyond the result. Following Southampton's expulsion from the Championship playoffs and the fallout from their controversial "Spygate" scandal, Martin reflects on a club attempting to rebuild trust, recover from an extraordinary punishment and turn adversity into motivation for another promotion challenge. The Premier League preview then resumes with Chelsea, Coventry City, Crystal Palace, Everton and Fulham. Chelsea begin a new era under Xabi Alonso after a dramatic summer of transfer activity, including the British record arrival of Morgan Rogers, while former Chelsea captain and manager Frank Lampard prepares to lead Championship winners Coventry back into the Premier League. Martin and Neil assess what constitutes success for both clubs before turning their attention to Crystal Palace, Everton and Fulham. Away from the individual clubs, Martin and Neil attempt to make sense of the Premier League's new financial landscape. With Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) replaced by Squad Cost Ratio rules (SCR), they explain the new spending limits and debate whether football's financial regulations genuinely protect clubs or simply make it harder for ambitious sides such as Newcastle United and Aston Villa to challenge the established elite. Finally, with the Premier League season rapidly approaching, the pair debate one of the biggest consequences of the summer's FIFA World Cup. Players involved in the latter stages of the tournament are only now returning to their clubs, leaving some with just two weeks of pre-season training before the new campaign begins. Is that enough preparation for a Premier League footballer, or are clubs risking injuries and exhaustion before the season has even properly started? Martin and Neil, unsurprisingly, don't quite agree. #PremierLeague #PremierLeaguePreview #PremierLeague2026 #MartinTyler #FootballPodcast #Arsenal #Chelsea #AstonVilla #CoventryCity #CrystalPalace #Everton #Fulham #Brighton #Brentford #Bournemouth #MikelArteta #XabiAlonso #FrankLampard #MorganRogers #BrunoGuimaraes #ViniciusJunior #TransferNews #FIFAWorldCup #PSR #Football #TheJoyOfFootball Hosted by The Revive Lounge Ltd UCsdye1hUxP4xhgBx9zvuSjg Subscribe to https://youtube.com/@TheReviveLounge?si=L5ddzrJrtSmErtJ5 Support the Pod https://patreon.com/TheJoysofFootballPodcast?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Read us on Substack https://martintylerandneilbarnett.substack.com/ Follow our Twitter https://x.com/TheJOF Follow our Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@joy_of_football_pod?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Follow our Instagram https://https://www.instagram.com/joy_of_football_pod/ Contact us via: therevivelounge@gmail.com Music by Arron Clague - https://www.instagram.com/arronclague?igsh=aHg1bjQ3OHpmaXIz Intro Sequence by Wellong Sadewo (wells.illustration): https://www.instagram.com/wells.illustration/ A massive thank you to our Patreon Supporters: Nick Parmenter Hillary Abbott Daniel Butigan Tommy Mck Katie Watson Nathan A Learn more about your ad choices.

Forced to play almost the entire second half a man down after Kevin Danso was controversially sent off just moments after his introduction, we were indebted to Antonin Kinsky for a handful of incredible saves as we hung in there in front of more than 80,000 fans at the Accor Stadium on Australia's east coast. We still carried a threat, Rio Kyerematen cracking a superb effort against the crossbar, but just as we seemed destined for a second penalty shootout in the space of four days, substitute Jamie Donley hit the post and Richarlison was on hand to slide home the rebound, making it a memorable conclusion to our trip Down Under for fans, players and staff alike. The game also saw Sandro Tonali net his first-ever goal in Spurs colours under Roberto De Zerbi. We also wrapped up the latest transfer news as we discussed whether Cody Gakpo is the Bomba, which Roberto De Zerbi is referring too, we debate the future's of both Cristian Romero, who De Zerbi says there will be a plan in place for his return to London, and whether Richarlison will stay at the club amid fresh doubt cast over his future.

Red, White & Blues FC | £117m for Morgan Rogers and a Rumor Mill Gone FeralChelsea break the Premier League transfer record, ship Garnacho off to Villa, and get linked to roughly half of Europe — and we're cynical about most of it.Transfer season is here, and Daniel opened the show by torturing Jason all day with an all-caps text promising a “big surprise announcement” that had nothing to do with transfers. The payoff: bald fraud Anthony Taylor is retiring, and we will never have to watch him officiate a Chelsea match again. From there it's a genuinely wild 48–72 hours of business — one record signing, one loan exit, and a rumor list long enough to need its own spreadsheet. We're happy, we're skeptical, and we're bracing for the moment BlueCo inevitably breaks our hearts again.Anthony Taylor Rides Off — and No, We're Not “Delusional”We saw The Athletic's framing coming: fans piling on Taylor at retirement supposedly proves how “delusional” supporters are about referees. We push back hard. We're not anti-referee — we know it's a brutal job, the gear, the whining twenty-somethings surrounding you every match. We're anti-Premier League referees, and we are 1,000% anti-Anthony Taylor specifically. The only bittersweet part is we'll never get to hear that Chelsea terrace chant about him again.Morgan Rogers for £117m — Record Signing, Familiar DoubtsThe big one: Morgan Rogers joins from Aston Villa for a reported £117m, a new Premier League record, on a six-plus-one. The Xabi Alonso “pull” narrative is everywhere — a phone call, Cole Palmer's friendship, Chelsea being Chelsea — and this is where Daniel and Jason go back and forth. Daniel refuses to swallow the “Chubby wanted him so Chubby got him” line whole, pointing out we heard the exact same thing about Maresca and Pochettino. Yes, a serious manager helps recruitment; no, it doesn't explain everything, and the round-table “Knights of Chelsea” mythology (with Eghbali cast as King Arthur) is media hype. Both of us land in the same place: Rogers is a good player, 23, on sensible wages, fitting the buy-young-sell-high model — but we overpaid, and we don't actually know where he fits. Double tens? Wing? Wing-back under Alonso? Nobody's sure.The Money Doesn't Add Up — and the Defense Pays for ItWe dig into the We Ain't Got No History math floating around: the Rogers fee roughly equals what Chelsea banked from Cucurella, Andrey Santos, Tyrique George, Jimmy-Jay Morgan, and the Maresca compensation. We both flag the same flaw — those are gross numbers, and we were still paying wages on most of them, so the “we basically got Rogers for free” spin doesn't hold. What's undeniable is Chelsea sell better than anyone (£400m+ shifted, largely pure-profit academy kids), which is how the spending happens. But Jason's frustration is the through-line of the whole episode: for the same £117m, Chelsea could have had a center back and a goalkeeper. Instead it's another attacker, and the back line is in the lurch again. And, oh yeah — still no front-of-shirt sponsor, four years running, £200m+ left on the table.Garnacho Out, and the Great Rumor AvalancheGarnacho heads to Villa on loan with a soft, appearance-based option around £43m — meaning Chelsea might somehow turn a profit on a player nobody wanted. Good riddance and good luck; Villa's own subreddit is bracing for another reclamation project (”if Unai Emery can't fix him, no one can”). Then we speed-run the rumor mill: Maxence Lacroix inching closer (but don't get fooled, we've seen Chelsea put all their marbles in one basket before), Nico possibly reuniting with Emery, Bruno Guimarães as a possible Arsenal hijack, Enzo Fernández linked to Atlético and quietly to City, and the one that actually excites us — Cristian Romero from Spurs in a swap that offloads Neto. We've begged for years for a proper asshole in this squad; Romero, red cards and all, might finally be our asshole. Add Alex Scott, Adam Wharton, Illia Zabarnyi, Eduardo Camavinga, and a Bosnian teenage winger (Kerim Alajbegović) to the pile, and Fabrizio Romano is teasing a “Da Bomba” midfield transfer that's almost certainly just a name we've already heard. We close on Morgan Rogers one more time, on our own cynicism, and on the quiet hope — dangerous as it is — that this time it actually works. This is a public episode.
