Unai Emery

James is joined by Aston Villa correspondent Lee Jackson to discuss a dramatic week at Villa, which saw manager Steven Gerrard dismissed immediately following the 3-0 defeat at Fulham and Villarreal manager Unai Emery appointed as the new man in charge. Where did it go wrong for Gerrard? Did the fans ever take to the former Liverpool legend? And why didn't success at Rangers transfer to the second city's biggest club? What can we expect from Villa's Emery? Doubts linger from his spell at Arsenal, is that fair or should focus be on his achievements in Spain? And what does good look like from Villa? What do the fans truly expect?

Villarreal win their first ever major trophy, as Unai Emery claims yet another Europa League title.

The stars aligned and put on their respective shirts, but Unai Emery - the World's Nicest Bond Villain™ - got his hands on a fourth Europa League trophy last night at Man United's expense. Kate, Andy and Jim pore over 21 beautifully struck penalties and David de Gea's meagre effort, before revving up the managerial merry-go-round. That's right: Zizou and Antonio Conte have left town, Jürgen Klinsmann offers Spurs his services and Mauricio Pochettino may well return to the Promised Lilywhite Land. Dangerous, if you ask me...

On reflection this was always going to be a terrible time for Pep Guardiola to enter into the gladiatorial (Sports Direct) arena that is the Brucey Bowl, but to his credit Man City did at least emerge with a point - thanks to Jonjo Shelvey. Leicester left it late to take advantage, but take advantage they did. Is Jamie Vardy planning another party? Let’s assume yes. Elsewhere Arsenal’s first performance under Freddie Ljungberg was less than handsome - an insult to the man’s bone structure - sheep dogs make a surprising appearance, Marcus makes a salty Google search suggestion and at one point we just start listing beasts.

There’s pressure on managers throughout the Premier League this week, with disgruntled glances being shot in the directions of Unai Emery, Manuel Pellegrini and Marco Silva- though Jose Mourinho enjoyed a winning start, even if we shouldn’t make it all about him. It’s not all gloom in the Premier League though, with Liverpool, Man City and Sheffield United continuing to strut their stuff… Stuffs? No, stuff. Elsewhere, Pete is recruiting for what sounds like a worrying project, there’s yet more juice from Rafa Benitez’s time at Newcastle and there are Steves as far as the eye can see.
