My Old Man Said - An Aston Villa Podcast

We know the media story, it's Steven Gerrard, Philippe Coutinho and Danny Ings all trying to do a favour for Liverpool at the Etihad. From a Aston Villa supporter point of view, it's can we finally beat City, since they're the only Super League Six team we haven't beaten in the past couple of seasons (plus, our recent record against City is shocking). Denying them the title would simply be a short-term bantz bonus. On Something for the Weekend, we look at both the game ahead and the...

On the afternoon that Villa Park celebrated the 40th Anniversary of Aston Villa lifting the European Cup, Villa's hopes of a top-half finish faded badly after a 1-1 draw with an impressive Crystal Palace team. Also, as well as the Villa news and Media Muppets we look at the government's call for an independent regulatory body for football, Newcastle United's dubious 3rd kit next season and ex-Villan Dwight Yorke finally breaks into football management.

Over the Easter period, Villa have slipped to 15th in the Premier League, leaving some supporters increasingly anxious about a potentially wasted season. “Continual progress” has been the mantra of the Villa board and Steven Gerrard made a point earlier in the year of reminding people he had taken Villa into the top 10, after they were 16th when he took over. His comment hasn’t aged well, as it’s hard to pinpoint any clear improvement on Dean Smith’s earlier endeavours. After meeting Villa...

It was a bizarre late afternoon at Villa Park, when Aston Villa played some of their best football under Steven Gerrard, peppering an inspired Hugo Lloris, only to end up losing the match 4-0. Son Heung-min’s hat-trick did most of the damage, as Villa's team repeated the same short-comings that have been their downfall in recent months. Judging by his interviews and press conferences, Steven Gerrard clearly knows what the issues are, but there are few signs of him correcting them on the...

Something for the Weekend After losing three games on the bounce, Aston Villa face a stiff test at Villa Park against a Spurs team who have recently crashed the top four.

After just one win in Aston Villa's last eight games in all competitions, doubts were starting to form in supporters' minds about the ability of both Steven Gerrard and the players, being good enough to kick them on next season to match the Villa owner's ambitions. At the Amex though, after a few tweaks here and there in the formation and the returning Ezri Konsa, the 2-0 win over Brighton was very welcome indeed. Against the backdrop of the invasion of Ukraine, which Villa's Matty Cash...

While Aston Villa haven't won for coming up to 17 years at St James' Park, they disappointedly showed little appetite at the weekend to rectify such a poor record. After spending millions on players in recent transfer windows, you'd expect the assembled team to be able to make 10-yard passes, not constantly over-hit crosses, not give the ball away like it's a hot potato and know what they're doing when it comes to taking and defending set pieces. At times, it was embarrassing against...
