My Old Man Said - An Aston Villa Podcast

In Europe, as travelling Aston Villa fans and players found out in Warsaw, Amsterdam, Lille and now Athens, there's levels to home advantage. Expecting to overturn a 4-2 home defeat was always going to be a tall order against Olympiacos, but Villa had a strong first eleven and a plan. But it was a familiar story of defensive lapses that compromised any hope of triggering Unai Emery's escape plan.

After a blunt display against Brighton at the Amex, probably their poorest performance of the season, Aston Villa are seeking inspiration to make sure their season doesn't fizzle out. A 4-2 home semi-final loss against Olympiacos earlier in the week, sees them likely to miss out returning to Athens for the Europa Conference League final. Meanwhile, the door is has been left slightly open for Spurs, in terms of the Champions League...

Aston Villa's 2-2 draw against Chelsea saw both extreme relief in the dying stages, despite the frustration of a double-injury blow. Despite giving up a 2-0 lead, in the end, it was a useful point at least in the short-term picture for the fourth Champions' League spot.

With Youri Tielemans also missing out at Villa Park, through injury, has the tie now balanced out?

After indifferent home form this calendar year, Aston Villa's Champions League charge had gone off the rails a little. Conceding cheap goals was undermining a lot of good work. The recent 3-3 draw against Brentford in the league and then conceding a late goal in the 2-1 Europa Conference League win over Lille, was testament to that.

With poor results for English teams in Europe last week, the prospect of fifth being enough in th...

How will Unai Emery approach the difficult trip to the Emirates? With a big second leg quarter-final away at Lille to come and Douglas Luiz suspended for the trip to Arsenal, will Emery take a similar approach to the recent Manchester City away game? Will Newcastle United's 4-0 win over Spurs influence his decision in any way?

In a week of underperforming English teams in Europe, Aston Villa were the only one to earn a win. Beating Lille 2-1 at Villa Park was a good result, but will they rue conceding a poor goal in the final 10 minutes of the game, when it comes to the second leg in France?

It was certainly a game that resulted in mixed emotions.

Lille, now have the weekend off, while Villa have a trip to the Emirates to contend with.

It's 26 years since Aston Villa's last European quarter-final, but this time there's more on the line than a semi-final. Villa need positive results in the two legged affair to help with English team's UEFA coefficient rating, which will open up fifth place in the Premier League to qualify for the Champions' League next season.

A win against Villa's main threat to lift the Europa Conference League will certainly mean the Unai Em...

After being 2-0 up and cruising against Brentford at Villa Park, a nine-minute capitulation saw Aston Villa let three points slip, as they handed fourth place and pole position for the Champions League to Spurs. Should we be worried about this Villa defence and will it undermine our season in Europe too?

Aston Villa's recent record against Wolves at Villa Park in the Premier League is terrible. With the race for fourth hotting up though, Unai Emery's men can ill-afford to slip into bad habits. Even without John McGinn, they must win.
