My Old Man Said — An Aston Villa Podcast

Over the last six Premier League games Aston Villa top the form table, as they keep racking up the points. Villa have the good habit of taking care of business in convincing fashion against the teams below them in the table. With a couple of winnable league games to come, more points are needed, before they take on a defining set of games against three teams above them in the space of four games....

After an impressive week of two 4-1 wins that put Aston Villa in a great position in both the Premier League and Europa Conference League, it's consolidation time with the visit of Luton Town. The Hatters make their first trip to Villa Park in the Premier League era, but it's a game that Villa really need to be getting three points from to cement themselves into the upper echelons of the league ta...

Aston Villa travel to Holland to take on AZ Alkmaar in the first of two back-to-back games with the Dutch club that will go a long way to deciding their Europa Conference League destiny.

After the midweek defensive collapse and disappointment in Warsaw, Aston Villa eyed up a trip to Stamford Bridge to face a disjointed Chelsea team, as a big opportunity to help fire up their confidence and right a few defensive wrongs.

The Europa Conference Group stages are drawn, so now it's time to get serious about Aston Villa's European trip, after their Scottish pitstop. We look at the group and it's threats, the draw overall, and the potential additions dropping down from the Europa League later on, that may cause problems.

If the opening day defeat against Newcastle United was dismissed as a one-off, the performance and result at Anfield against Liverpool was more a gage where Aston Villa are at. At the end of last season, they were a team ready to go with a summer transfer window to sprinkle some sugar on top of a well functioning squad. Big injuries though have caused a rethink and now Villa has a defence that is...

Against Burnley, Aston Villa boss Unai Emery clearly demonstrated the controlling core he is building within the Villa team that can dictate a game playing from back to front. If there used to be panic when Villa played it out of the back, now, there is only calm. Their 3-1 win over Burnley was an encouragingly ruthless away display from Villa, who rejoin the top end of the table again. UTV New Sp...

First stop Edinburgh, as Villa takes on Hibernian in the first leg of the play-off round of the Europa Conference League. Will there be Sunshine on Leith for Unai Emery's boys? Or will Hibs do enough to stay in the tie and keep it alive for their return trip to Villa Park? We look at financial disparity bet...

It was business as usual at Villa Park, as Aston Villa started the season, as they left off in terms of their home form. They made light work of a lacklustre Everton team, making up their goal difference from their opening day defeat at Newcastle. Off the field, in came a potential Italian mercurial talent, while Holte Enders were met with the surreal sight of velvet ropes, hostesses and hospitali...

After Aston Villa finished last season with seven straight home wins, Everton are the first visitors to Villa Park in the 2023/24 season. Both teams will be looking for a reaction after currently sitting pointless after their opening fixture.
