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 has Unai Emery got those players ticking again, they've arguably all doubled in value and become even better footballers. 🎙🎙 GET TICKETS TO CLARET & BLUE LIVE: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2223-season-review-qa-claret-blue-live-tickets-628396901047 DONATE TO OUR HALF MARATHON EFFORT: https://www.gofundme.com/f/claret-blue-x-great-birmingham-run Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ClaretBluePod Dan Rolinson: https://twitter.com/DanRolinson John Townley: https://twitter.com/JohnTownley11 Learn more about your ad choices.

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: https://twitter.com/ClaretBluePod Dan Rolinson: https://twitter.com/DanRolinson John Townley: https://twitter.com/JohnTownley11 Learn more about your ad choices.
