The Villa Podcast
Blocking imaginary shots, taking Rogers off and a Rocky argument
•
Liam talks about Rocky. It's not what Conán wants to hear. Things get heated over Ollie Watkins via Rocky III and the original instalment. We discuss a point away to Forest which might look good later, which might've looked good before but it doesn't feel great right now.
Liam says we can forget about Chelsea but has Morgan Rogers forgotten how to score?

Buendia's arc, McGinn's statue and Watkins' peak
41:46|That was special. That was joyous. That was football and Aston Villa at its best and we deserved it. This team deserved it. And under Unai Emery, Villa are headed to their first European final in 44 years after dismantling Nottingham Forest. We talk about how good that was and just how bad it got for Forest.
WhatsApp Whinge special: Emery's maths, the attitude and the end game
35:26|It all comes down to this. We could be in for the greatest three weeks ever. Or quite possibly some of the worst. We haven't set it up well with an all-time stinker against Spurs so how else could we mark it but a full show dedicated to WhatsApp Whinges.
Digne's giveaway, Buendia's pushed away, Bogarde is some way away
37:15|The most unnecessary of defeats. Villa lose to Nottingham Forest thanks to Lucas Digne's moment of madness. Time for some real talk and emphasise this is a European semi-final. How we're fixed for next week.
John McGinn is back, auntie Margaret is back and Aston Villa are back
45:25|Sympathetic Sancho is top of the Weimann Meter. Youri Tielemans' return has us feeling better. But the hero that is John McGinn drags the team and club forward again. Great performances over West Ham and Lille, big victories and our striker is even scoring too. The vibes are good, we had to recall Drury's Corner as well.
Konsa roars, Bailey ignores and Watkins bores Harry Maguire
43:22|Old Trafford brings out the worst in Aston Villa but it brings out the best in Liam. From an Austin MacPhee WTF nomination, to Leon Bailey not turning to Unai Emery and Ollie Watkins' alarming form, we pick the bones of the Man United loss, a bit on the Lille win and ponder what life could look like with Youri Tielemans back.
The Huddle, the VAR animation, the blame
33:59|The Villa Park crowd nailed it... the team didn't, did they? For the first time, it feels like there's a fracture in the relationship between this group and the fans and with nine games remaining, it's difficult to see how things turn around from this Chelsea defeat.
Not Arsed Barkley, whinging Buendia and Emery's blind faith
42:25|Arguably the worst night in Unai Emery's reign. Villa were bad at Mollineux again. They lost to Wolves, again. Dropped points against a lower half of the table team. Again. And now it's a dogfight for Champions League and we're left hoping that Liam Rosenior is David Brent - but is that even good?
