My Old Man Said - An Aston Villa Podcast
The Unapologetic and Dysfunctional Villa Xmas 2021 Special - Part 1
2021 was a certainly a transformative year for Aston Villa. The fairytale duo of Dean Smith and Jack Grealish were no more and the club received a Steven Gerrard facelift. On the field we've seen indifferent form at the end of one season and the start of another, although now with a new boss man in charge, Villa look leaner and meaner. Will Covid derail the progress in 2022 though?
To look back on a madcap 12 months for Aston Villa football club, the My Old Man Said team have sat down to knock out another two-part Unapologetic and Dysfunctional Villa Christmas Special.
Who is the 'Villa Player of the Year...that isn't Jack Grealish'? Who is the 'Most Improved Player That Needed to Improve'? What were Villa's best pieces of business - in and out of the club - in 2021? What were the 'Best Limbs Moments of 2021'?
The Unapologetic and Dysfunctional Villa Christmas Special judges these and much, much more.
There's also a few old MOMS favourites too, including a 'Villa Year in a Villa Minute', Five Reasons to be Cheerful, Media Muppet of the Year and The Good, Bad & Ugly of Villa's year.
Enjoy.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our listeners.
Love
MOMS

47:55||Ep. 324After drawing three out of their four last four Premier League games, Aston Villa needed a result to buck the trend to keep them in the top four and shake themselves out of their under par coma.
