Nassef isn’t suing Carragher because he thinks a High Court judge is going to slap a damages order on a podcast rant. He’s doing it because the entire media class has spent years treating Villa (#avfc) as a convenient stepping stone and a permanent second tier. Carragher didn’t just give an opinion. He told the fans to "shut the fuck up" and declared the club can never reach the level of the traditional powers, right as the ownership has poured hundreds of millions in, won the Europa League, and got the team competing in Europe properly. That isn’t banter to the people who actually own and run the club. It’s a direct fucking insult to these owners who've done a terrific job rejuvenating the club and running it better than at least 3 of the media six, it's an attempt to set the ceiling in public and keep the hierarchy story alive. Sawiris has form for pushing back when he thinks the system or the narrative is stacked against the project. This is the same instinct. Put the statement out, make the pundits and the wider media think twice about casually writing Villa off as forever below United, and show the fanbase that the ownership won’t sit quiet while the club’s rise gets dismissed. Whether it ever reaches a courtroom is almost beside the point. The message is the point. If you want the current hierarchy left unchallenged, fine. Call it tinpot. The people who rebuilt the club from the brink of HMRC winding them up clearly see it differently.

Aston Villa will initiate legal action against Jamie Carragher for his unacceptable insults about the Club and its fans. Aston Villa will not allow anyone to stop our ascension in English and European football. Nassef Sawiris, Chairman

Patrick Stewart, who will be remembered most for his roles as Captain Jean-Luc Picard on “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and as Professor Charles Xavier in the “X-Men” films, has died at 86. variety.com/2026/tv/news/pat…

We really should know who are making bg these decisions

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery says Michael Carrick deserves to be given more time to turn things around at Manchester United. “He should at least be given until the Aston Villa game on 8 November,” he told reporters

Who is making these decisions? Who are the faceless figures that sit on these panels. What knowledge do they have of the laws of the game. They TheFa are bringing the game into disrepute. They are letting the referees down

Arsenal fans ladies & gentleman. 🫣

I’m not so sure about that like mate 🤔

"Everyone's talked about Eddie Howe, Antonio Conte... there's actually one staring us in the face there!" Unai Emery is who Manchester United need!

I am not a big fan of individual awards because football means teamwork and family and belonging to something greater. But Unai represents his own excellency and the hard work and effort of hundreds of men and women with a purpose in Aston Villa. From owners to staff. Unai didn’t win but he deserved with my high respect to Luis De la Fuente, also a fair winner. And if there will be one for the best sporting director it would be for Roberto. Keep going guys. Our Ballon d’Or is what we are building. UTV.

Erling Haaland is here !!!!

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Reports suggesting that Unai Emery will leave #AVFC for Manchester United are not accurate. #MUFC have not made direct contact with the manager and don’t intend to as Villa hierarchy will want a Big fee to let their manager Leave.

🚨🗣 Jamie Carragher believes Aston Villa's Unai Emery should be United's first target: "He is a manager I look at when I think about Manchester United, I think Emery is the BEST manager in the Premier League. But I've got this thing with him. Yes, his record in the Europa League is amazing, but surely somebody who is that successful wants to be known in the Champions League. "He wants to win the Champions League. He's NOT going to do that at Aston Villa. "He's had two experiences that haven't gone particularly well for him, Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal. And I just think surely he would want that opportunity to PROVE himself at an absolute giant of a football club. Sorry, Villa fans." [Sky]

United should be throwing everything at Unai Emery right now if they want to be the slightest bit serious.
