My Old Man Said - An Aston Villa Podcast

The Manchester United post-mortem usually involves burying Villa’s latest trauma and promising not to speak of it again until the next time. Not this time.On this episode of My Old Man Said, Villa are resurrected. Unai Emery finally gets his second win over United, Christmas is officially saved, and Morgan Rogers announces himself properly with two moments that decide a game Villa did not fully control but absolutely deserved to win.We break down the key moment that mattered, Watkins’ understated role in the winner, and why Rogers has crossed the line from “promising” to “decisive”. There’s an honest look at a midfield that got outworked, a defence that stood firm anyway, and why Villa’s ability to grind out one-goal wins is no accident.We also ask the uncomfortable questions. Did United tactically get it right? Did Villa rely on magic rather than control? And why, despite the win, this still felt nervier than it needed to be.Add in Martinez doing Martinez things, Emery losing his mind on the touchline,
