After five straight wins, Aston Villa’s European dream hit turbulence in Deventer - as Go Ahead Eagles clipped the Villans’ wings.

In this Something for the Weekend edition of My Old Man Said, David Michael and Chris Budd dissect how Villa managed to make a mess of a winnable tie and what it tells us ahead of Manchester City’s visit to Villa Park.

From the strange lethargy in Holland to Emery’s squad rotation gamble, we pick apart what went wrong, who’s to blame, and how Villa can bounce back with a statement win over City.

Expect frank talk, tactical insight, and the usual humour - plus an appearance from the Lovers Walk Unlimited Orchestra to lift spirits.

After a fifth straight win, the My Old Man Said crew bask in the glory of Villa’s gritty away triumph at Spurs - or as one listener put it, “Stoke City in a spaceship.”

We dissect the new blue-collar Spurs, Buendía’s resurrection arc, and Emery’s latest tactical masterclass - while also diving headfirst into the off-pitch chaos that’s gripped Villa Park: from the political circus around the Maccabi Tel Aviv away fan ban to the weekly merch drops that seem to matter more than the football.

Also in this packed show:

• Curtis Davies literally folds Paddy Kenny in half
• Bowie’s Ziggy catsuit and Spitting Image horror
• AI football and £179k-a-day sackings
• Why UEFA should never have let this fixture happen

All that, plus 'Speed Demon' and 'Emery's Clipboard'.

From Warsaw to Rotterdam, and every airport bar in between - Aston Villa’s European adventures have reignited something special among the fanbase. Unai Emery is currently enjoying his eighteenth consecutive season in European competition, but is he likely to continue the run at Villa?

In this episode of the My Old Man Said podcast , David Michael and Chris Budd, are joined by the returning Max Stokes of Villa on Tour to look back at Villa’s start to the season so far, and reflect on Villa's best European trips of the past three seasons.

It’s part travelogue, part therapy session - and an update to see if Emery’s blueprint is still intact.

Expect analysis, dry humour, and the odd flashback from the continent.
