As the season draws ever closer, Dan Bardell and Tom Julian are back in the studio to discuss all things Aston Villa. Up first on the agenda is Gabriel Agbonlahor, a man who divides opinion, so much so, we've allowed a special guest onto the podcast...

Our latest pre season matches, Chris Samba, a round of snog, marry, avoid and the "Pie Connoisseur" also make up the agenda for this week's podcast. Enjoy the show!
