  • 344. Villa's European Qualification Hopes Frustrated by Tractor Boys

    40:51||Ep. 344
    Another One. Another Draw. Let's be honest, Aston Villa are playing catch-up in terms of qualifying for European next season. The beginning of 2025 was meant to be the start of mounting their late challenge for Europe with a string of games against teams near the bottom. After failing to win their last three games against such teams, including two teams that started off in the relegation zone, Villa's fixtures now get more difficult. We look back at a frustrating afternoon at Villa Park against Ipswich Town, which showcased some growing concerning trends.UTVSuper VPN Discounted Offer with Extra Four Months Free & 30-Day Money Back GuaranteeThis episode of the My Old Man Said podcast is sponsored by NordVPN.

  • 342. Aston Villa Transfer Window and Squad Reshuffle Realities

    54:28||Ep. 342
    Late in the January transfer window, right in the middle of a Champions League campaign, isn’t exactly the ideal time to reshuffle your squad and play what feels like a Fantasy Football wildcard. However, Unai Emery had seen enough - his Villa side still hadn’t convinced him they could deliver when it truly mattered at the business end of the season. Now, with the additions of players like Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio, there’s hope that Villa will find a new lease of life as they push for success on multiple fronts. We look at the mid-season switches that took place and question the reactive nature of what went on.UTVGET AD-FREE AND EXTRA SHOWS and JOIN MATCH CLUBIf you want ad-free advance versions of the shows and extra exclusive shows during the month and to join My Old Man Said's 24/7 Villa community, Match Club, please do support the show by becoming a MOMS Member.For more details and to become a member, click here: Become a MOMS MemberFollow the show on:X/Twitter at @myoldmansaid / Threads at @myoldmansaid / Bluesky at @myoldmansaid and join the show’s listener facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid Chris Budd - @BUDD_musicPhillip Shaw - @prsgameMy Old Man Said - https://www.myoldmansaid.comThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

  • 340. Villa Stutter in Pivotal Week Leaving Emery With Much to Do

    43:37||Ep. 340
    In a week that would have set up the second half of the season nicely for Aston Villa, Unai Emery's men came up short.
