The Emi Martinez Thread

[Old Trinity Villan]

Great scenes at the end when he was giving it the Klopp style fist pumps and then more when the crowd were willing him to.

I've watched it on Twitter absolutely brilliant.

Bizarre dislike from The Goons of a player whom I’m sure would’ve still been there had the club wanted him.

But the utter divs sold him for peanuts to us.

The beautiful thing is (at least online) most hated the decision to sell him as they wanted him played. Then they jumped on mistakes and ended up hating him to justify the decision.

Emi has never hidden he'd have stayed, if he was played.

lol

Seeing and listening to what he,and other players like Dougie, have to say about the club.....they just get it

 

[Pangloss]

Whilst they haven't necessarily been blessed with the best keepers, Martinez is definitely Argentina's greatest ever goal keeper. This isn't just based on ability but also achievement, he's the only one to win both a World Cup and a Copa America.

Mad as a box of frogs is our Emi.

Never change Emi

 

[Melon Donkey]

Legendary.

 

[Thomas Holte]

A total head-the-ball. But he's our nutcase, and one with a total winning mentality which has been missing from Villa teams for years.

I hope he gets out of France in one piece

By a quirk of fate (Arteta being a moron) we have the best goalkeeper in the world playing for us. We've had some decent keepers over the years. In my time the Bos and Freidal were the best but this guy is on a completely different level.

Lille is so rough, like near the Blues ground

 

[tarzan]

He’s our Cantona

Hope I'm still around when he becomes a manager

 

[sirdennis]

WHAT A MAN.

 

[chicovilla]

The man is our main man. Consistently every season he is worth an extra 20 points. A true hero and our best keeper ever. Martinez take a bow, you are a legend.

 

[BigBadDave]

Love him, I knew once it went to pens the king would step up......well done Emi.

 

[DeanoVilla]

Mad as a ferry full of lorry's which are full of crates filled with boxes full of frogs!

Love him! What a guy!!!

If he got 2 yellows - is he suspended for the next match ?
