Watkins Wastefulness, Europa League Reality & Why Villa Can’t Afford to Slip vs Fulham

Something for the Weekend – Fulham Home

Aston Villa might have beaten Bologna in Europe, but the cracks are still showing. In this Something for the Weekend edition of the My Old Man Said podcast, we break down the limp Europa League performance, the flat atmosphere at Villa Park, and why ticket prices are killing the buzz.

We dive into Unai Emery’s squad choices, the ongoing questions around recruitment, and whether Ollie Watkins can really be trusted to deliver when it matters most. With Fulham next at Villa Park, history says this should be three points – but for the first time under Emery, there’s genuine doubt.

From transfer missteps to corporate tifos, and from Lincoln City air raid siren ultras to the cold reality of Villa’s current strike force, we get into the big picture issues and why a result against Fulham is non-negotiable.
