There was concerns about Aston Villa's preparation and readiness for the away trip to Watford to start the new Premier League season, and they suddenly came home to roost in the 3-2 defeat.

Also, in the show, as well as catching up on the latest Villa news, we look at potential new Financial Fair Play rules, Villa crypto, the George Best Airbnb and Messi's incredible PSG shirt sales.
