Aston Villa have done what few expected — four league wins on the bounce and back in the thick of the Champions League chase. After a composed win over Southampton and with huge clashes against PSG and Newcastle looming, this could be the most pivotal week in modern Villa history.

In this episode of the My Old Man Said Podcast, we reflect on the significance of the Southampton win, Emery’s selection strategy, and why Newcastle at Villa Park might just be the playoff for a Champions League spot.
