Liam returns and there's a lot to talk about. Villa beat Spurs, Bailey beats the keeper against Wolves and misses, everyone is off the boil against Stevenage - except John McGinn. Harry Maguire is f**king linked to Aston Villa, David De Gea is still being paid and Villa are out of all cup competitions. Happy new year. Hosted on Acast.

Aston Villa and Liverpool play out a ding dong encounter and this podcast revolves mostly around one question: Are Aston Villa good? They're good and bad, it seems. Both teams miss loads of chances with Darwin Nunez leading the way for Liverpool but Watkins, McGinn and Bailey play out an exciting Rosenthal Award category. With tactics talk, the lack of subs and even Dean Smith on the menu too, the podcast ends with a reminder that we won't be podcasting after the Spurs game! Hosted on Acast. See...

Merry Christmas! Conán is back with a list of Aston Villa items we've missed since the Premier League took a break, Liam isn't impressed with some of the items on the list. The World Cup ended with a cracker final and we dissect it, some questions falling out from the tournament in general and from England's progress and we manage to fit some time (a lot of time) into Emi Martinez's antics. This was a lot of fun! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....

Unai Emery arrives at Aston Villa training and he arrives in a tracksuit! We go straight over to get Liam's thoughts. Big cull at Bodymoor Heath too as Neil Cutler is the latest coach to leave. Harry Kane tries dancing, Antonio Conte struggles for the spark. Is Miguel Almiron capable of keeping this up? His career suggests not but...

Tonight's podcast is a journey! It starts before Gerrard got sacked - but obviously the mood is agitating for him to be put out of his misery. But at (30:09) the news comes in that Aston Villa have parted ways with the Steven Gerrard. So enjoy the real-time freshness of this journey. And of course we finish with awards - out of respect to Stevie. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the general football podcast, we delve back into some Aston Villa fallout missed from Steven Gerrard's press conference. Antonio Conte has given Matt Doherty a tough gauntlet for his Spurs comeback whilst Rangers take criticism for their performance at Liverpool, strangely. Manchester United have a new leadership group, again. And some World Cup chat begins. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Aston Villa win 1-0 at home to Southampton but it wasn't a convincing performance from Steven Gerrard's team. A goal from Jacob Ramsey is enough for all three points but there are some issues with the players and the tactical decisions. And we talk about an All-Star game and Liverpool's woes.

Here we go! Something to smile about. Something to cheer about. Something to be proud of! Aston Villa deliver a heartening performance at Villa Park to draw 1-1 with Man City. Leon Bailey cancelled out Erling Haaland's goal but Steven Gerrard and his team should've had all three points after a perfectly legitimate Philippe Coutinho goal was chalked off because the Premier League referees don't know the rules.

3 losses from 4 games for Aston Villa to start the 2022/23 Premier League campaign. Manager Steven Gerrard promised things would be different after a pre-season with the group... they're worse. Villa Park boos rang out as West Ham were the latest team to benefit from a confidence booster at Villa and Christian Purslow is coming under increasing scrutiny as Arsenal and Man City await Gerrard's team.

Another bad day to support Aston Villa as Steven Gerrard sends his side out to be dominated by Crystal Palace. Patrick Vieira's men are better drilled, better motivated and bullied Villa off the park. John McGinn and the full backs weren't at it, Villa were done over the top like clockwork and once again we're asking what is the game plan and what is our identity? Hosted on Acast.

Conán mounts a surprise defence of Mikel Arteta's white board. Liam isn't so keen.

What a difference a win makes! Aston Villa bounce back with a win at home to Everton at Villa Park and it's enough to take them to the top half of the table. Danny Ings was in super form, Matt Cash was back to himself, Jacob Ramsey responded and then some, Kamara was class and Frank Lampard went with a bold choice of clothing. Anthony Gordon took a dive again, Mings answered some critics again and United found a new low... again. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....
