Humble Malen, timeless Tielemans and unhappy Unai

Matrix Watkins, Monster Emery, Marco numbers

Villa destroy Brighton away from home and there is a feeling that we're in the kitchen at the right time. The Stuart Atwell circus did roll into town though so there's a lot to discuss on top of Rashford's pace, Kamara's class and Pau's return. Hosted on Acast.

Rashford's cool, The Digne Meter, season-defining week

Aston Villa are back in the FA Cup semi-final and Marcus Rashford is up and running on the goalscoring front. Lucas Digne provides two assists after making every case to be brought off and Unai Emery has come back looking slick from his break away. Hosted on Acast.

Look me in the eye, clever Rashford, classic McGinn

Aston Villa are in the Champions League quarter finals. Club Brugge are wiped aside - eventually! That means there were enough groans for good WhatsApp Whinges and we even have two new award categories! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Olsen's feet, Disasi loves it and Villa won't let us give up

An away win! A post-European win! Another win in March. Villa will not let us give up on our hope and a big win at Brentford keeps the league front still interesting with Champions League and FA Cup action to come this month. Tonight we ask the question, "are we good or are we shite?" Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Spider Mings, Youri's arc, era-fusing Villa

Villa beat Club Brugge away from home in the Champions League and we put the ball into the mixer, we put the ball into the corridor of uncertainty and we have a penalty taker! This was fun.

El Cabbagico, dangerous Rashford and poet Unai

Aston Villa draw Preston North End in the FA Cup quarter final. We talk about the significance of the tie, the opportunities this season still holds and, of course, the 2015 run of the great Tim Sherwood. We dissect the Cardiff game and marvel at the effect Rashford and Asensio are having on the team. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Konsa forgets, McGinn oversees, Emery freaks out

Ooof. A bad night, weird decisions by Emery in terms of shape, players, mindset. Disappointing traits from players. But I promise the podcast is fun! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Feb 27, 202554 min

Konsa's boot, Rashford's pace, Sky 6 beating

A come-from-behind last minute winner against Chelsea. It doesn't get much better! What a night at Villa Park and what a story this is becoming for Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Feb 24, 202546 min

Disasi adventure, Darwin data and roundabout McGinn

A good game with Liverpool at Villa Park. A good point despite losing the lead. Youri Tielemans and Ollie Watkins score but there's a lot to talk about including Mings coming back onto the WTF radar, Disasi coming into the filth category and Lucas Digne starring in his own horror movie. Glenn Whelan tweets and McGinn's fashion takes also on the menu. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ankles-Up Ollie, Close Your Legs Rashford and Villa Park form

The only thing to make a home draw with Ipswich entertaining is Liam giving his thoughts, five beers deep. Ollie Watkins is a record breaker and Marcus Rashford will start on Wednesday. James Maddison hitting out at critics too. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Feb 16, 202542 min

X-Rated Asensio, Ange's trenches, Marcus Rashford MBE

Well that was fun! Aston Villa turned on the style in a demolition of Spurs. The only caution is they'll rarely get to play against a team as open and clueless as that - but by God they looked good. Ramsey makes a lot of chances, and misses them. Asensio and Rashford treated the crowd but Donyell Malen was excellent. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Feb 10, 202543 min

Rashford reaction, Emi inaction, VAR faction

Death, taxes, and Wolves away. Another bad peformance at Molineux and a bad defeat as Villa's injury list growns. Marcus Rashford is announced mid-record. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Lucas Digne: Centre Back | Watkins 100 | Onana 3310

Oh, that was a weird one. Aston Villa were phenomenal for a little bit. Then they weren't Then Lucas Digne got moved to centre back. Then our set piece routines got worse. Then we conceded. Then Martinez spilled the ball and we conceded again. But took a point. Let's talk. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Emery expectation, Watkins/Duran link, Celtic in the way

Aston Villa put on a very disappointing performance and Unai Emery feels let down. The players seem to be not doing what he's asking when up against it and we look at the thread of boys who have come through the doldrums and how that affects them now. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

T1000 Villa, Captain Youri, and rude Arteta

A brilliant comeback from Villa earns a draw at the Emirates against Arsenal. Unai Emery keeps getting results against his old clubs. Tielemans and Kamara keep getting big performances from themselves. Aston Villa's 2025 continues in fine form and we discuss the game, the Sky coverage, the referee and Mikel Arteta. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ollie's fight, Digne's revenge, 2025 Villa

Villa make it three from three for the new year after an away win at Everton. We discuss the winner, the litany of fines and Boubacar Kamara. Arsenal's Gabriel and Forest's wrestling are both on the menu too as David Moyes makes a return to Goodison. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Potter and Gerrard, Buendia's celebrations, vertical Villa

I think it's fair to say the second half was better than the first half. Aston Villa advance to the FA Cup fourth round... again!! A lot to talk about. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jan 12, 202540 min

Bailey connects, Maatsen injects and the 2010 League Cup final

A win gets 2025 up and running and Leon Bailey is back in the goals! Ian Maatsen delivers from the bench and Watkins delivers the usual shift and missed chances. Lots to talk through including the 2010 League Cup final. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jan 05, 202550 min

McGinn's skidmark, sleepy Konsa, and Watkins is back

Another frustrating result - and this is now the norm. A lot to talk about by way of chances, nice pieces of play, annoying decisions and predictable goals conceded. Happy new year! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jan 02, 202554 min

Tindall's ego, Anthony Taylor's logic, Villa's social media

The Jhon Duran red card and THREE GAME SUSPENSION dominates the top of the show as another trip to Saudi sees Villa getting burned. We discuss Emery's record v Eddie Howe and Villa's openness in these big away games of late. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dec 30, 202453 min

Morgan Elliot Rogers, Duran Burger and Grealish's three fingers

Rogers and Duran, the bash brothers, rip City apart. Youri Tielemans runs the show, Kamara and Onana run over the top of the Man City players who just stop running now and Jack Grealish has an eventful homecoming. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Big Pictureistas, Cash's 360, Martinez's save

A lot to let out this evening. We get straight into a discussion about The Big Pictureistas and the "scapegoating" arguments. We look at Emi Martinez' unbelievable save and ask does it matter when what happens happens. Another lead blown, more dropped points to Forest and more civil war in the Aston Villa fanbase. But it should be a fun listen! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dec 15, 202448 min

Captain Really Good Centre Forward and the chaos at the back

Jhon Duran shows his class and shows the touch of class he is learning in his post match interview too. A brilliant attacking performance from Villa mixed with some clangers in defence. Champions League Aston Villa are different gravy and Marco Rose and his comments ahead of the RB Leipzig game proved nothing but egg on his face in the end. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dec 11, 202452 min

Watkins radar, Duran knee-slides and the Carlos award

We need an award for Diego Carlos but we don't think it'd be clear what it's for. We need to talk about Ollie Watkins - another captain's armband on Fantasy Football unrewarded. And a discussion about how we feel after a result like that against Southampton at home. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you

Aston Villa win! Aston Villa play well! Aston Villa show the intensity, the hurt, the ambition. They stick together, they run together, they come together again. A fun match and a fun podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dec 05, 202440 min

Rogers on the ball, Jaden on the ground, Cash on throws

A lot of embarrassing WTF award nominations to discuss as Aston Villa are humbled at Chelsea. A poor performance again and the poor form of many players continues. We have to change something, right? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dec 02, 202457 min

Bailey's blow-away, Duran's chokehold and Carlos' run

A good performance, a decent result, a massive sense of unfairness. We pick the bones of the Juventus draw, the injustice, the chances, the Martinez save, the madness and the key moments. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Nov 28, 202433 min

Counterfeit Villa, Watkins v Tiele, fines galore

Another uninspiring performance and another game without a win as Aston Villa come back from the 2-week break not looking like much has changed. We debate the penalty-taker for the club, look at the madness of the tactics we're deploying with the defensive personnel and discuss ways of moving forward, literally. Hosted on Acast.
