Another One. Another Draw. Let's be honest, Aston Villa are playing catch-up in terms of qualifying for European next season. The beginning of 2025 was meant to be the start of mounting their late challenge for Europe with a string of games against teams near the bottom. After failing to win their last three games against such teams, including two teams that started off in the relegation zone, Villa's fixtures now get more difficult. We look back at a frustrating afternoon at Villa Park against Ipswich Town, which showcased some growing concerning trends.UTVSuper VPN Discounted Offer with Extra Four Months Free & 30-Day Money Back GuaranteeThis episode of the My Old Man Said podcast is sponsored by NordVPN.

Late in the January transfer window, right in the middle of a Champions League campaign, isn’t exactly the ideal time to reshuffle your squad and play what feels like a Fantasy Football wildcard. However, Unai Emery had seen enough - his Villa side still hadn’t convinced him they could deliver when it truly mattered at the business end of the season. Now, with the additions of players like Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio, there’s hope that Villa will find a new lease of life as they push for success on multiple fronts. We look at the mid-season switches that took place and question the reactive nature of what went on.UTVGET AD-FREE AND EXTRA SHOWS and JOIN MATCH CLUBIf you want ad-free advance versions of the shows and extra exclusive shows during the month and to join My Old Man Said's 24/7 Villa community, Match Club, please do support the show by becoming a MOMS Member.For more details and to become a member, click here: Become a MOMS MemberFollow the show on:X/Twitter at @myold

In a week that would have set up the second half of the season nicely for Aston Villa, Unai Emery's men came up short. A loss in Monaco let their top eight fate in the Champions League slip out of their own hands, while they lost the chance to stay in touch with the Champions League places in the Premier League.There's much to ponder for both Unai Emery and the podcast itself.UTV GET AD-FREE AND EXTRA SHOWS and JOIN MATCH CLUBIf you want ad-free advance versions of the shows and extra exclusive shows during the month and to join My Old Man Said's 24/7 Villa community, Match Club, please do support the show by becoming a MOMS Member.For more details and to become a member, click here: Become a MOMS MemberFollow the show on:X/Twitter at @myoldmansaid / Threads at @myoldmansaid / Bluesky at @myoldmansaid and join the show’s listener facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid Chris Budd - @BUDD_musicMy Old Man Said - https://www.myoldmansaid.

After a limp showing in Monaco in the Champions League, Unai Emery has been questioning his player's mentality. It will be fully put to the test now, as the team must take care of West Ham to keep in the picture in the Premier League, before seeking to still make the top eight of the Champions League by beating Celtic.UTVGET AD-FREE AND EXTRA SHOWS and JOIN MATCH CLUBIf you want ad-free advance versions of the shows and extra exclusive shows during the month and to join My Old Man Said's 24/7 Villa community, Match Club, please do support the show by becoming a MOMS Member.For more details and to become a member, click here: Become a MOMS MemberFollow the show on:X/Twitter at @myoldmansaid / Threads at @myoldmansaid / Bluesky at @myoldmansaid and join the show’s listener facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid Chris Budd - @BUDD_musicMy Old Man Said - https://www.myoldmansaid.comThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man

Aston Villa are at the half-way mark in the Champions League's initial league stage. After three wins, a recent slip up in Bruges means the pressure is on to get a result at home to Juventus, if they want to keep their top eight qualification aim alive. Their final four fixtures are perhaps more difficult than their first four, so Unai Emery will be looking for a drastic improvement on his team's performances in the past few weeks.UTVSpecial VPN Discounted Offer with Four Months FreeThis episode of the My Old Man Said podcast is sponsored by NordVPN.
