Darren Bent played for Villa but he is clearly not a Villa fan. His alliance is Arsenal. Im sure Emery will get Aston Villa into the Champions League and if he will does well will boost commercial revenue which is vital in keeping your best players, squad strengthing and sustainability. The trophy that really matters is the European Title. You cannot erase history and only six English clubs has ever won it Manchester United, Liverpool, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Man City. On this merit those are the real big 6 English clubs - not the Sky6.

Forget the league, emi's one of the best in the world... People need to start putting more respect on villa, what we'v achieved so far this season is amazing, even the win against arsenal most of the pundits spoke about arsenals failures rather than the great performance villa put in

Not even going to listen to this. No need to compromise. Less than 10 games left in the season with a 3 point lead on tottenham (who have the top 3 to play)....

Been going for both all season, and still going strong. 32 games in still fourth and a semi final and pundits still think its one or the other. Emery is the master of balancing deep runs in 2nd and 3rd tier european cups and maintaining league positions.

The second yellow was because the ref thought he’d gone to wind the fans up when actually he was trying to get the ball back so Ollie could take his pen. Bentaleb smashed into the crowd and they wouldn’t give it back. Should never have been a yellow, the ref was one of the worst I’ve ever seen.

The FA cup, no point of being in the Champions league knowing you're not going to win it.

You all need to wake up to the quality of the teams in Europe and in the Conference league as its now a really competitive cup. Every team we (Villa) have played have had a bit of quality about them with Lille being the best so far, and I'd go as far as saying they're close to being CL level side. Look at Leverkausn in Europa, CL level.

As a Villa fan I’d much rather win the Europa Conference league than finish in the top 4. Qualifying for the Champions League would be brilliant but let’s be honest we probably won’t get out the group.

How do you know that. How many people said at the start of the season would be 4th now and in a Euro semi final.

Villa’s remaining league matches are against Bournemouth (home), Chelsea (home), Brighton (away), Liverpool (home), and Palace (away). Spurs’ remaining matches are against Arsenal (home), Chelsea (away), Liverpool (away), Burnley (home), City (home), and Sheffield (away). Villa have the easier run in, 3 points on the board against Spurs with a game in hand and a superior goal difference, and just need to take care of business one game at a time. Psychologically, if Villa wins this weekend and Spurs lose, even with them having a game in hand, that will be tough for Spurs to come back from with so few games left.

We're more than good enough to do both...no need to prioritise one over the other

Sorry Benty, we're going for both

Has he lost his mind. Winning a conference cup instead of Champions league. Winning champions league place now places you in position to go for a different caliber of player and can put the club further ahead in development.

I get it, these are just debate scenarios, but why do you have to prioritize one over the other. One is a cup como with a few games and only 5 games left in the other. Professional players, go out and play.

It's 2 more games and we're in the final lol. So there's nothing to prioritise. We've coped for 8 months, 6 weeks more isn't exactly a stretch... poor from Benty that.

Top 4 is the priority for exposure of Aston Villa I was speaking to my friend from Ghana 🇬🇭 and he said to me y’know Aston Villa is a big club in Ghana 🇬🇭 they have their own supporters club it makes me cry 😢 to think that people around the globe 🌏 love Aston Villa like we do blows my mind

as a villa fan, i dont expect to do well in champions league, so would be happy to have a go, and hopefully drop down into europa, so saying that would it just be better to win the trophy and go straight into europa knowing we may have a chance? But, we want to emulate the achievement of champions league like newcastle to be able to say we got there as we are more than capable of getting there. But it would be good to mark the period of sucess with a trophy. Im hoping we can do both, but id prefer to try and compete in europa as thats our level. I think UCL is too hard for us currently. Saying that, maybe we can build a squad over summer that is capable. Its not too far a strech for us to do both. Also, martinez isnt going anywhere especially if we get UCL... hes deterimined to get us there and play there with us as we gave him the opportunity to become argentina number one and win the world cup. He wont leave us yet.

They can definitely do both

I don't have a preference, both are important in trying to become an elite club and all things considered if we don't do both from the position we've worked hard to get into then we will have failed.

It is realistic because I saw it happen back then and I see patterns of it happening again. Emery has multiple Europa Leagues so really Emery is building a squad and mentality for the Champions League in the fashion Ron Saunders did for Villa back then in 1982 and what Brian Clough did for Forest in the late 70's. Emery and his backroom staff haven't left sunny Spain to go to Birmingham to waste their time - they want to repeat history.

He is going nowhere until Villa lifts the Champions League.

I’d prefer to win a trophy but Villa probably need the cash from champions league. Think they’ve a huge FFP problem coming down the road

Why is the audio on talkSPORT breaking up all the time

We were in championship a few years ago now were amazing Emery is a legend

We are doing both even with a huge injury list all season. Still can’t get a bit of credit from the big 6 media.

Conference League would be far better, we don't have a squad good enough for the Champions League. A season in the Europa League and going much further would be far better than what happened to Newcastle.

Benty on drugs again😂

Silverware for me and if we end up in the Europa we would have a chance to go and try and win that.

trophies are remembered forever

Both !! No1 wants to see spurs stinking out the champions leagues again 🤦‍♂️🤣

People just talk they don't actually know what they're saying like winning that Trophy doesn't compare to entering the UCL, hearing that anthem and receiving that needed Cash for FFP and Transfers.

So first it was Emery would leave if a big club came in,now it's Martinez would leave if a big club came in?. What is that 🔔🔚's agenda against Villa?.He wants to concentrate on his own crappy club.

I'd rather win the trophy but I think we can do both, we'll need a bit of luck but we have the quality, our squad is a little thin but I cannot see why we can win the conference league and finish 4th. UTV

We have been juggling this since September and people are still questioning us. Emery will get us going on both fronts.

Goldstein disrespects Aston Villa & says Unai & Martinez would leave the club at the drop of a hat if a so called bigger club came in for them,based on what others might've done or maybe his own fickle mindset. Aston Villa are a big club that are on the up & are doing special things,Unai & Emi are loyal people & very respected at Villa ,& they also respect the club & the platform it's given them,so don't automatically assume these guys would do what others have or you might do yourself........ up the mighty Villa!!!

champ league will attract top players and also retain our best and also financial benefits that come with it also villa won the championship playoff doesnt that trophy count?

If we get Champions league we can attract better signings to proceed in the league

It would be a bonus to win the cup but much prefer to finish ahead of Spurs in fourth

Why can't we do both ?

Like Unai said we wanna do well in both - why do we need to just focus on one?

I'm sorry but the conference league isn't a trophy it's like winning the charity shield or something

I think west ham got 12 million for winning this thing last season. Newcastle got 29 million (Ithink)for getting in the champs league. Money wise the champions league is financially way better

Can do both it’s only an extra 3 games you melt

Why not both we have been competing for both all season

Would I rather win a competition or qualify for a competition? Forgive me but I'll take winning a competition all day long. Anyone that says otherwise should have their hard drive checked.

should tell that to city also right?

With only 3 matches left in the Europa conference league including the final & 5 more matches in the premier league, it's a realistic target to get top 4 & a European trophy 🏆,so this one or the other conversation is nonsense. Villa are in a good position to achieve both & with abit of luck that's how we're gonna end this great season we're having.. up the mighty Villa!!! 😊⚽💜💙✌️🏆👍
