It's predictions time again, we took a look at the run in with 6 games to go for Aston Villa, now we're back to look at the final two - Liverpool and Brighton. Unai Emery's Aston Villa face an uphill task to secure a place in the Top 7 needing Brighton and/or Tottenham to drop points, whilst not impossible, it is probably unlikely.

Claret & Blue Podcast ·

2023/05/03

It's the start of May now and we still can't quite believe what we're seeing from Unai Emery's Aston Villa. The transformation in the fortunes of the club from November to now cannot be understated, and whatever happens in the final games of the 22/23 season, Villa fans have a team they can be proud of. There were a handful of players at the end of the Steven Gerrard era that you may have thought weren't good enough to mount a charge on the Top 6 and needed shipping out. Six months later, not only

2023/04/30

Unai Emery's 10 match unbeaten streak with Aston Villa comes to an end away at Old Trafford. A first half goal from Bruno Fernandes was enough to seal all three points for the home side, and Villa failed to score in a match under Emery for the first time. Villa's quest for European qualification is not yet over though, with 4 games still to go, there's plenty to play for. 🎙🎙 DONATE TO OUR HALF MARATHON EFFORT: https://www.gofundme.com/f/claret-blue-x-great-birmingham-run Follow us on Twitter:

Aston Villa have announced their Season Ticket prices will face rise of 15% for the 'majority of adults' due to rising costs and the club's ambition to fund a winning team for boss Unai Emery. We discuss the latest price hike and how it effects the wider fanbase, those who may be priced out of a season ticket, and the huge waiting list hoping for their shot at a seat inside Villa Park. 🎙🎙 DONATE TO OUR HALF MARATHON EFFORT: https://www.gofundme.com/f/claret-blue-x-great-birmingham-run Follow

ALEX MORENO IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF UNAI EMERY'S...

Claret & Blue Podcast ·

2023/04/26

The impact Alex Moreno has had at Aston Villa cannot be overstated. When the Spaniard became Emery's first signing in January, eyebrows may have been raised at the 'lesser' transfer fee, and whether he'd displace Lucas Digne from the side. Fast forward a couple of months and Alex Moreno is so important to Aston Villa's style of play under Emery, and has been a vital cog in Villa's charge up the table. 🎙🎙 DONATE TO OUR HALF MARATHON EFFORT:
