Villa's heritage, Emery's priorities and Watkins' feet
•
Out of the FA Cup but marching on in the league, Unai Emery fields a weakened team against Saudi Arabia... but they were actually good, until you know what.
Lucas Digne disappoints again and Leon Bailey doesn't inspire much confidence and should Tammy Abraham be the main striker now?

Luc who's walking, Sancho promise and Ollie payoff
34:28|The big question to ask from the Bournemouth game... would a punch in the face to Lucas Digne, a red card and suspension to one of our players and zero points from the match been better in the long run?
Phase of play, Damian's backlash and Dougie's return
41:50|A third loss of the season to Brentford and two bad home defeats in January to burst the title challenge. Lots to discuss including the disallowed goal, the red card and an argument over Matt Cash and Conán's run-in with Damian Vidagany.
Howe forgets, Bailey remembers and expecting goals
37:01|What a result in Newcastle. What a result in Turkey. Two strong performances and this group earn even more of our admiration as Leon Bailey returns.
Distracted Emi, protracted Watkins and Hemmings jib
43:17|One of those bad days that has you questioning everything again so come join us to wallow together. Outside the obvious annoyances, we're also looking at Tielemans not running the show like he can, Villa not making Roma wait two weeks and the boy George Hemmings.
Watkins' vacuum, no penalties, injury prone Emi & unfair Mateta
37:15|A game away to Palace and we lose no ground in the title race? I'll take that please!Lots to talk about, including Sancho, Weimann champion Lindelof and Matt Cash's longevity.
Emery's handshake, McGinn's comeback, Onana disappointment, & Amorim sacked
52:16|A joint Arsenal and Forest podcast and an explanation too. A lot of fun at Villa Park and a lot of WTF nominees at the Emirates. We talk Arsenal's emotions, Emi Martinez's state of mind, THE HANDSHAKE, and starting a new streak again thanks to Sean Dyche's Nottingham Forest. Ruben Amorim has been sacked by Manchester United so we make time for that as well.
Knuckleball MacPhee, stag do Martinez and Watkins resolution
50:11|A win that wasn't priced in. Villa go to Chelsea, a direct rival for the top five, and instead they stay in the hunt for top 1. A huge three points, another turnaround for this team full of character and this entire squad that's pulling together in the same direction.
Morgan free man-on-man, Lindelof's left foot and DOMINANT United
47:16|Gary Neville thinks Manchester United were by far the better team. Ruben Amorim thinks the better team lost. Both don't seem to tally that Morgan Rogers plays for Aston Villa. And they're both missing A LOT about their own points. We discuss a SECOND victory over Man United in Unai Emery's tenure.å
