Will

When he's delving into, like, tactical opinions and my own bastard opinions, as he often does, less so.

But when he, like, I thought he gave a great call for that first goal, say, like, you know, the way we played at the start, like, the way he kind of announced, like, one nil, or whatever, he just wanted to butcher it.

But I actually thought he met the moment quite well.

Honestly, I saw you retweet his letter during the week and I read it then off the back of it.

Again, a player like Brandeis that I'm aware of, but I would have no opinions on.

What should I know?

Give me the cliff notes.

I'd say the odds of him writing that himself are one in a million.

Yeah, definitely.

Like, as you said, the squad, he doesn't have the purchasing power of other top teams, but he's punched above his weight.

I'm interested to see where the project goes from here off the back of it.

Like winning a trophy was maybe a natural next step, picking off one of those trophies.

A league challenge seems unrealistic, I think, given the finances of the other big teams and where they're at.

But what will satisfy Emery in the short to medium term?

I don't know after winning this.

Yeah.

You tell me, is winning this trophy more satisfying to you than getting to the Champions League quarter-finals two years ago and giving PSG a huge scare in Villa Park?

Was that first leg or second leg?

Second leg.

Yeah, they had PSG on the ropes for periods.
