Villa Crisis Over? Watkins Strikes and Buendia Breaks Record

Aston Villa finally got their first league win of the season with a 3-1 victory over Fulham at Villa Park - but is this the turning point or just a temporary lift?

In this week’s My Old Man Said podcast, we break down a game that went from frustration to relief. From Watkins snapping his seven-hour league goal drought, to Buendia’s record-breaking six-minute cameo of a goal and assist.

We also ask the big questions: has Pau Torres unlocked Villa’s true identity for Emery? Are new arrivals like Elliott and Sancho destined to struggle?

Beyond the pitch, we try and embrace a new football “woke” language guide.
