My Old Man Said - An Aston Villa Podcast
Aston Villa Seek Unlikely Finish to the Season
With games fast running out Aston Villa gave themselves a last chance saloon stab at Premier League survival after a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace. It was Villa's first win since January, can they now record back-to-back wins and stay alive?
As well as discussing the events of the Palace game we talk about Villa's new record, Mile Jedinak's retirement, the latest spate of Villa-related racism. We also look at Manchester City's great escape, Wigan woe and next season's TV scheduling.
N.B. This episode's Overrated and Underrated section, will run in the upcoming Everton reaction show.
