Europe's leading Husband and wife podcast team on Aston Villa invite Cousin Nick to join in a conversation with Rupert on the season so far. The Boys discuss Has it been a successful start so far? Has the Bayern result papered over a few crack? Have we not played that well yet? Have we lost to the only good team we have played in the league so far? Who are the star performers?

Husband and wife team Verna and Rupert jump onto a pod to discuss Jhon Duran slightly surprising decision to increase his deal with Villa. Verna not that surprised. Rupert impressed by the Villa's decision and protecting their newly prized, priced asset. Crazy horse's value skyrocketing, from zero to cult hero and now on some serious wedge!

Comeback kings - it feels inevitable!!!!

Husband Rupert flys solo as wife Verna is back in the Uk. He droans on: - the glorious feeling of knowing you will win even if losing (it feels like Utd in the 90s) - Its the bench and subs innit - starters and finishers/special teams and SA extra pack in rugby - How many comebacks under Emery - its 4 - the goals - it was a "shit" start says Emery - How good is Tellimans/Rodgers and Duran - Diego Carlos should quit football and become a nude model in an art school

Thunderbastard and Swiss Rolls

Husband and wife team Rupert and Verna climb from their sick beds to discuss the comeback against Everton and then the trip to Bern. They discuss the Duran's screamer for nearly 14 minutes of the pod. They marvel at the control of the first 17 minutes and the the whole of the second half. How can an attacking team be so exciting and yet the defence be soooooo bad? Rupert's over his love affair with Pau and Verna is sick of Konsa's whining and bitching. When is Mings back? Rodgers another marvelous game. Off to the Wankdorf and a very impressive return to Europe's premier competition and debut in the new champions League format. Villa could and should have scored 5 or 6. Strange 2 disallowed goals. Is their a better sight than Ramsey and Rodgers running at defences? Wait until Bailey also returns. Duran superb again and Watkins unlucky
