My Old Man Said - An Aston Villa Podcast

David and Dan are back in the pub (or the pub's shed in their beer garden) for a 'live and raw' show before Aston Villa's last game of the season against Brighton. There's discussion on free drinks, Steve Bruce's anger, the increasing list of players that need shipping out and the way forward after Kodjia's injury. We also ask the question, should Villa have made the play-offs and are the excuses for not making them actually warranted? There's the return of Twitter with Tony and also Negatron pops in...as does the late Dennis Hopper.There's also various references to boxing.Enjoy!UTVSupport the MOMS podcast by becoming a Patron - bit.ly/MOMSpatronsPodcast details - http://www.myoldmansaid.co.ukFeaturing:David Michael - @oldmansaidDan Rodgers - @avfc_vilrMy Old Man Said -
