What did Aston Villa's Europa League victory mean for the club?
The Athletic FC.
Totally Football Show today Aston Villa are Europa League champions we celebrate the Aston Ballers in Istanbul their 3-0 win over Freiburg and look back on Unai Emery's restoration of the Villa and ask what's ahead will their future be brighter for example than last year's winners Spurs who 12 months on are battling West Ham for relegation in the final round of the Premier League season what awaits which London side will be taking their yawning stadium into the championship we'll be discussing that and more in this Totally Football Show Daily Football Show on the 21st of May, a Thursday.
How did Unai Emery influence Aston Villa's success?
Joined here in the studio by, hey, Duncan Alexander. Hey. Also, Charlie Eccleshare is with us. Hello. Hey. And Jay Harris as well. Good morning. Good morning to you. Nice atmosphere today. Got some trophies being won. We've got last week of the season ahead. Only 21 days, Jay, until Mexico take on South Africa. Lovely stuff. Yeah, incredible. Charlie and Duncan were both with us in our special Cut Out and Keep Gunners Win title commemoration podcast on Tuesday night. Charlie, what did you do afterwards? Went to the Emirates Stadium. What did you see?
What are the implications of Spurs potentially facing relegation?
A lot of very happy people. I have to say the thing that was most striking was kind of the diversity of people there. It was genuinely quite a powerful thing. Like it really felt like a proper representation of the fan base.
And players too.
And then players eventually. I guess the sad thing about that in a way is that maybe the match day doesn't represent that same diversity. So yeah, it was a really special atmosphere. And... You know, it's obviously because everyone's in a party mode.
Who are the contenders for European qualification this season?
Often when you get lots of people together, there's a lot of tension and everything like that. I have to say as well, it did contrast quite nicely. Last year, I was in Paris for the French Open, as I will be tomorrow. And I went to, I watched the Champions League final at the Parc de France. Right. Where they had a big screen. And initially it was a similar kind of really happy vibe. But then as soon as the game finished, it all got very edgy and a bit feral and was actually quite unpleasant. Yeah. So, yeah, this felt like a far more kind of harmonious and just happy atmosphere.
All right.
What is the significance of the Championship play-off final?
The Champions League final will feature PSG again this year. And Arsenal too. Who knows if you'll be heading down to the Emirates after that one?
How might Bruno Fernandes impact the Premier League assist record?
Hey, question mark, question mark. Or if indeed you'll be in Budapest for the game. Loads of players were down there. Loads of great content on social media, Duncan.
I don't think... I've ever seen as many videos about one event in so many different angles and flavours and it was, yeah, I mean, what I thought was quite striking was we've had months of fans of, you know, particularly clubs like, I guess, Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, who have been, you know, fairly perturbed at some of Arsenal's social media events. fans and activity but there were so many kind of people going oh actually this is quite nice isn't it it's quite good fair enough no no no send the celebration police no no I think the celebration police have officially been called off and everyone has gone oh yeah it's quite good when a team a big club who haven't won the league for a long time right I guess the most recent example would have been Liverpool in 2020 but that was obviously kind of weird because they had to you know lift the trophy with Coldplay playing and no one in the stadium and
people did gather but I actually did think that of Liverpool of like the fact that they didn't get to have this equivalent because it was such an amazing outpouring of joy and obviously Liverpool had been even longer yeah and the fact that yeah that was plus they had Coldplay as well what track did they choose for that can't remember but I remember feeling it was a little bit hmm hmm hmm
All right, G. Meantime today, Thursday, is all about Aston Villa, which has won the Europa League. Did you enjoy the game?
Yeah. I think we always knew that Villa were the favourites heading into it.
