September 16, 2023 Dougie bottle, Darren England stones, Diaby for life
Like we always said, Darren England is the world’s greatest referee. What a day at Villa Park and what an impact Jhon Duran and Leon Bailey made off the bench. Douglas Luiz is running the show at Aston Villa and Conán is reading a lot into a Moussa Diaby tweet. We have a lot more fun things to talk about, which don't include Steve Bruce being lined up for the Ireland job.

September 03, 2023 The Passion of Villa, Anfield torture, MacPhee performance
Hammering session at Anfield as Liverpool make Aston Villa look meek. Two goals from corners (again) and a totally lacklustre display on and off the ball leaves a sour taste going into the international break - but at least we have Evan Ferguson to look forward (Ireland, not Villa). Some United v Arsenal chat and Mike Dean's promising punditry career.

August 27, 2023 Diaby Ball, cold Cash and Mad Dog
Agricultural Cash? More like Cultured Cash! Matt Cash is the hero this time as Villa beat Burnley and bang in their 12th goal in a week. Unai Emery has steered the ship back on track and he changed formation today, dealt with a change in keeper, and continued John McGinn and Moussa Diaby on their onward journeys to becoming the world’s greatest players.
Believe it or not, Jason Tindall also made the news today. The Newcastle manager celebrated too early trying to make a meme of himself - he succeeded in that, not the way he wanted to.

August 23, 2023 Don't go Digne, Bertie T piss-taking, Lee Johnson's wardrobe
Our first European game in 13 years begins with an Ollie Watkins hat-trick, some Bertie T tomfoolery and Lucas Digne giving us all a treat - hopefully, as it turns out, not a goodbye one.
Introducing our new Euro podcast with listener submitted questions to round us off.

August 21, 2023 Mint Bailey, Superman Pickford, tactical McGinn
Leon Bailey’s right foot is back. John McGinn’s lethal backside is back. Aston Villa are back.
A 4-0 breeze past Sean Dyche’s relegation fodder sees Villa back into the top 10. Everton are in big trouble, Jordan Pickford’s flailing limbs aren’t helping, but Unai Emery and the boys move forward.

August 12, 2023 Soaking jerseys and ripped hearts: Welcome back
Welcome to the new season, what do you think of the place? Season 4 of The Villa Podcast begins and it feels like we haven't moved at all. Newcastle tear Villa apart as mistakes and sitters and formation rejigs amount to a bad afternoon. Matt Cash and Leon Bailey on the right hand side gets discussed once or twice, the optics of the Castore jersey, some of Emery's decisions and Tindall and Howe on the sideline. The one positive was Moussa Diaby but we have a lot to talk about. You too, Harry Kane.

May 28, 2023 Thank you Unai, McGinn arc, honest Digne
We did it!!!! Unai Emery has brought Aston Villa in its entirety together.
But Questions We Can't Answer (47:47) threatened to tear us apart again as Conán and Liam disagree on the players' fashion choices for the End of Season Awards and we bring back Sliding Doors to ask What If Gerrard was given the full season.
Loads of praise thrown out in our penultimate podcast of the season against a hungover Roberto De Zerbi.
