He’s being realistic and also talking pressure off his team. It’s the smart thing to do.
If they are up there come April I think they’ll want to do a Leicester but it’s still early and the depth is weaker than City and Arsenal.

We’re on a serious run, but you’ve to stay grounded. Have a lot of tough away fixtures still to play.

Fair enough, he’d never admit it, if you can stay under the radar, you’ll try to stay under it for as long as possible.

If Villa win the league before Arsenal, I’ll get a Brazilian

They aren’t, they will naturally fall away from the top 2 as the season goes on but they’ve put themselves in an excellent position to finish top 5 and get CL football next season. Hopefully they back Emery in the summer.

Defeatist mentality, thats what we want. It will have an impact towards the players. Last year Chelsea manager said the same when they are on a high, then they collapse.
When they started losing or draw later their own fans will be like aaa seee thats why we are not competing.
Other than long term planning, football also a game where u need to strike when the iron is hot. Have a go. Buy players in Jan. Strengthen. Go for it. If not now, in Dec 2027/2028 do you think A. Villa will be in this position again?

I agree with him. We are great…but our great is 80 points. We will eventually get suspensions and injuries and fixture pile up that will slow us down.
Despite being perfect for months, there’s two teams with insane depth and resources already above us. They will get 90 points.
But it will be Europe for four seasons on a bounce, which is insane when you consider teams that can’t say that.
