  • Unlistenable

    The content is great and Dan is well measured and not a reactionary fan just looking for clicks but listening to this as a Podcast is insufferable due to the number of adverts and makes it unlistenable. YouTube is a much better way to listen/watch this content as there are far less interruptions.

    Love Dan Bardell’s brand of relaxed humour. Great content, updated very regularly. Particularly good when joined by various regular guests (Tanswell stuff during this bananas transfer window was particularly insightful). Content is balanced and fair.

Martin Laursen On: Emery, O’Neill, That Ajax Goal & The Injury That Changed Everything

Q: Did you have an expectation of what Villa was going to be like when you joined? Was it different to what you expected?

Aston Villa Q&A: McGinn’s European Impact, Hemmings Impresses & Garnacho Myth Busting
Q: What about Garnacho's readiness and role under Emery, given the recent substitutions and game state discussions?
The response argues Garnacho isn't ready to displace existing forwards immediately and should be given time to adapt; Emery's plans involve careful integration rather than rushing him into key matches.

Q: Does Jacob have any knowledge whatsoever on the obligation clause reported as a simple, so that doesn't make sense, or I've read it wrong?
The host explains there were discussions about an obligation clause related to Garnacho and notes uncertainty about how widespread or verified that information is, while acknowledging that journalist Jacob is unlikely to disclose every detail publicly.
