Episode 3422: Villa’s Glory, Ken Weeps for Europe, Mixed Zone Mo
The memory of Friday’s FIFA draw continues to linger like the smell of a dead rat under the floorboards. As he whines about middle-of-the-night kick offs, people are accusing Ken of being ‘eurocentric’ – but surely somebody has to be?
Meanwhile Mo Salah seems to have torched his future at Liverpool by accusing the manager and club of throwing him under the bus, trying to get him to take all the blame, wanting him out of the club, etc. How is this sad situation likely to play out?
Due to overwhelming popular demand and indeed anger, Ben Fisher joins us to talk about Aston Villa: the Title Charge only Villa fans Saw Coming. How did Villa get Arsenal on the ropes more than any other side they’ve faced this season? Is Morgan Rogers actually better than Bellingham? And – yes – are Villa going to win the league?
