Destiny Calling For Aston Villa

The Football season is reaching its exciting climax and it is a great time to be an Arsenal fan because of the 4 possible competitons we could win, we are still in contention for all 4 with the first one this Sunday against Manchester City in the League Cup Final.
Nine points clear in the Premier League with 7 games to go, it looks like it would take an almighty collapse to lose while we are playing Southampton in the Quarter Final of the FA Cup and  last night an Eze wondergoal and a not too shabby effort from Declan Rice saw us through to the Quarter Finals of the Big European Cup where Sporting Lisbon await.
I was hoping for the Norwegian side FK Bodø/Glimt just for the romance of a club from the Arctic Circle with a capacity of 8,270 spectators joining in the fun but they blew a 3-0 first leg lead to end up on the wrong side of a 5-3 scoreline. Oh Skam as they say in those parts.
So it is a good time for us Arsenal fans but i would be getting excited if I was an Aston Villa fan also because as fate would have it, they are managed by Unai Emery, a man who knows a thing or two about winning the Europa League having picked up this particular Pot four times and this is where it get strange.
He has won it three times with Sevilla and once with Villarreal but lost in the final with Arsenal whose name does not include VILLA so if I was them i would be booking that double decker bus now for the end of May because destiny has spoken and it is saying the only thing that will stop them winning the thing is a name change between now and the final in Istanbul on 20 May 2026.
