MOMS #58: Aston Villa's Magical Goal Machine Fires Up Promotion Hopes

Ep. 58

After a week of goal crazy madness, where Aston Villa hit 12 goals in three games, we reflect on what's making Dean Smith's goal machine tick and are there any weaknesses in the team that could trip up a promotion push.


David Michael and Dan Rodgers are joined by Max Stokes from the Youtube channel 'Villa on Tour' to discuss the Nottingham Forest 5-5 madness and the controlled 3-0 win at the Riverside against Middlesborough, that took Dean Smith's recent record to four wins in the last five games. The contributions of Tammy Abraham, James Chester and Orjan Nyland are also focused on.


We also talk Lionel Messi's fifth place in the Ballon d'Or, Jurgen Klopp (and Alan Hutton's) punishments for celebrating goals and also this week's FSF Awards at the Tower of London. MOMS was nominated for Best Fan Media of the year and had to sit next to Robbie Savage during the awards ceremony.


Also, in the show, our thoughts on Villa's FA Cup draw against Swansea City, the Championship's top scorers and the game ahead against the only team to score more goals than Villa this season in the division.


Enjoy

  • 287. Aston Villa Have a Truly Transformative Weekend

    42:17
    After indifferent home form this calendar year, Aston Villa's Champions League charge had gone off the rails a little. Conceding cheap goals was undermining a lot of good work. The recent 3-3 draw against Brentford in the league and then conceding a late goal in the 2-1 Europa Conference League win over Lille, was testament to that.With poor results for English teams in Europe last week, the prospect of fifth being enough in the Premier League to qualify for the Champions League was under threat, as the English team coefficient rating suffered. The stench of Europa League was in the air for Villa. There was also a sense that if they failed to do the business in Lille in the Europa Conference League 2nd leg, Villa's season might fold in on itself.However, a weekend that served up both Villa's best away performance of the season at Arsenal and a cracking Newcastle display against Spurs, saw Villa rise to fourth spot and suddenly feel a lot more confident about their trip to France this week.Villa's destiny now is very much in their own hands.UTVVERY SPECIAL NORDVPN OFFER with Four Months FreeThis episode of the My Old Man Said podcast is sponsored by NordVPN, which was named as one of TIME’s 2022 Best Inventions (Apps and Software section).

  • Europavision: Advantage Villa but it's Far From Over Against Lille

    In a week of underperforming English teams in Europe, Aston Villa were the only one to earn a win. Beating Lille 2-1 at Villa Park was a good result, but will they rue conceding a poor goal in the final 10 minutes of the game, when it comes to the second leg in France?It was certainly a game that resulted in mixed emotions.Lille, now have the weekend off, while Villa have a trip to the Emirates to contend with.It's going to be tough in Lille next week for Villa, but at least Unai Emery's boys have given themselves a fighting chance.UTVSpecial VPN Offer with Four Months FreeThis episode of the My Old Man Said podcast is sponsored by NordVPN, which was named as one of TIME’s 2022 Best Inventions (Apps and Software section).

  • Europavision: Aston Villa Season Definer vs Lille Preview

    24:41
    It's 26 years since Aston Villa's last European quarter-final, but this time there's more on the line than a semi-final. Villa need positive results in the two legged affair to help with English team's UEFA coefficient rating, which will open up fifth place in the Premier League to qualify for the Champions' League next season.A win against Villa's main threat to lift the Europa Conference League will certainly mean the Unai Emery revolution is about to enter a defining stage.UTVSpecial VPN Offer with Four Months FreeThis episode of the My Old Man Said podcast is sponsored by NordVPN, which was named as one of TIME’s 2022 Best Inventions (Apps and Software section).
