#1023 | Ed and Dharnish react to Manchester United signing Youri Tielemans for around £35m, praising the club's stealthy, leak-free approach. Tielemans offers outstanding value given his versatility, progressive passing and decent defensive work. How will Tielemans and Andre Santos fit a more controlled, central build-up style? And do United still need a third “ground-eater” midfielder?

The World Cup semifinal bracket is set, and Ted and Hayden Van Brewer break down both matchups along with a full slate of transfer news. They dig into whether France vs Spain risks being a dull one, and why Spain might need to abandon their usual patient build-up for something more end-to-end. Then it's England vs Argentina, where the Arsenal comparison from earlier in the week gets fully explored: an England side that suffers defensively, struggles to control games, and may need Reece James's fitness gamble to pay off if they want to deny Argentina the ball and neutralise Messi. On the transfer side: Barcelona's low-cost move for Karim Adeyemi, Chelsea's crowded winger situation and Garnacho's uncertain next step, Liverpool bringing in a more traditional six, and Manchester United's Tielemans and Andre Santos double-signing to rebuild their midfield.

Manchester United has successfully finalized an agreement to acquire Aston Villa midfielder Youri Tielemans after activating a £35 million release clause in his contract.This unexpected deal advanced swiftly after United's intended £35 million transfer for Atalanta midfielder Éderson fell through due to a medical concern identified during his assessment. Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has provided his signature "Here we go" confirmation for Tielemans, who has opted for the Old Trafford project over other competing offers. The 29-year-old Belgian international is set to undergo his medical examination tomorrow.United triggered a specific £35 million (€41m) release clause, facilitating straightforward negotiations despite Aston Villa's hesitance to part with the player. In the meantime, Tielemans rejected a new contract proposal from Aston Villa as well as other external offers, demonstrating a strong inclination to play under manager Michael Carrick.Tielemans experienced a minor hamstring injury during the warm-up prior to Belgium's World Cup quarter-final loss against Spain. However, the injury is not considered long-term, and United anticipates that he will be prepared for pre-season training.He is included in a significant summer midfield overhaul by Carrick following the departure of Casemiro and a serious knee injury to Manuel Ugarte. This agreement coincides with the same day that United completed and officially announced the £48 million signing of midfielder Andrey Santos from Chelsea.

England survived a scare against DR Congo, falling behind after seven minutes before Harry Kane scored twice in the final 15 minutes to set up a 2-1 win. Kane now has five goals at the tournament. England face Mexico at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City in the last 16 in the early hours of Sunday. The USA beat Bosnia 2-0 despite finishing with 10 men after Folarin Balogun was sent off following a VAR review in the second half. Malik Tillman sealed it with a free kick in the 82nd minute. Balogun will miss the last-16 match against Belgium through suspension. Speaking of Belgium, they produced one of the most dramatic comebacks of the tournament, beating Senegal 3-2 after extra time in Seattle. Senegal led 2-0 with four minutes of normal time remaining before Romelu Lukaku pulled one back and Youri Tielemans headed in an equaliser. Then, in the final seconds of extra time with the clock at 124 minutes and 44 seconds, Belgium were awarded a penalty through VAR and Tielemans scored the latest goal ever recorded at a World Cup, leaving Senegal devastated. In transfer news, Ismael Saibari, who scored the winning penalty for Morocco against the Netherlands, will join Bayern Munich from PSV Eindhoven after the World Cup in a deal reported to be worth up to €55 million ($62 million).

Tot minuut 75 konden les leopards een voorsprong vasthouden. Harry Kane sloeg echter twee keer toe en zal dus met Engeland verder bekeren. Al kijken de koolcasters heel trots terug naar dit WK en worden ze er hoopvol over voor de toekomst. En dan onz tweede land. België kwam op een dubbele achterstand met een basisploeg die menig wenkbrauw deed fronsen. De invalbeurten van Lukaku, Moreira, Raskin & co inspireerden een comeback die aan Japan deed denken. Maar vooral kapitein Tielemans oogst lof na zijn inspirerende ruzie en penalty. 2-3. Senegal verlaat het WK en leert hopelijk een les die alle Afrikaanse landen kunnen gebruiken voor de toekomst. Maak de wedstrijd af. De Belgen kennen ook meteen hun volgende tegenstander nadat USA Bosnië-Herzegovina uitschakelde met 2-0, al zal Balogun er niet bijzijn tegen de Rode Duivels.

It's official – Aston Villa is your 2026 Europa League champion! We recap how Villa triumphed over SC Freiburg for their first European trophy since 1982 (and Emery's 5th!), discussing how they dominated virtually every phase of the game, the phenomenal goals from Tielemans, Buendia, and Rogers, Emery's usual tactical mastery, Emi doing Emi things, and much more. Then we review what went wrong for Freiburg, whose magical run ended with a bitter pill, including why they missed Suzuki, Grifo and Beste's lack of involvement, and Manzambi's lively efforts. Finally, we debate what each side needs to accomplish over the summer to push on to another season of Europe (Villa in the Champions League, Freiburg in the Conference). Can Villa and Emery build on this triumph and strengthen the squad? Can Freiburg replace some of their aging veterans? Major credit to both clubs for a wonderful season, but Villa were the form team throughout the competition and rolled through the knockouts. Thoroughly deserved champions. Big cheers to Unai Emery and the Villains!

Before the biggest night at Villa Park in years, a solo My Old Man Said show, with some personal memories and reflections back to 1994, and an honest assessment of what the second leg of the Europa League semi-final requires.In 1994, Villa were three-nil down at Tranmere in a League Cup semi-final first leg. The fanbase were feeling angry that the club were squandering a real good chance of silverware to put them back on the map, after a difficult decade. The build up to the second leg has parallels, as does the build-up to the final against Manchester United, when Villa's league form had dropped off a cliff before the trip to Wembley.It was all an example of what a team is capable of when it decides to be.Recorded in the hours leading up to the Europa League semi-final second leg against Nottingham Forest, the show sets out what tonight requires — from Watkins, from Rogers, from McGinn and Tielemans, from the crowd, and from a manager who has four of these trophies already. The Onana absence. The Bogarde question. Whether Forest come to shut up shop or play with the freedom that has defined their recent form. And what it would mean - for the club, for its European legacy, for everything - to be talking about Istanbul tomorrow morning.No rally call. No clichés. Just the honest picture before the biggest night of the season.Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.Become a MOMS Member for ad-free & extra shows - MOMS MembershipJoin the show's listener Facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid | Chris Budd - @BUDD_music / Phillip Shaw - @prsgameThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

The West Ham game was a non-negotiable. Once again, Chelsea and Liverpool had handed Villa the opportunity to take control of the Champions League race and unlike previous fumbles, this time they took it. A McGinn free-kick, a much-needed Watkins' goal, twenty-three shots, and a performance that looked more like the team that had won eleven games in a row than anything seen in the previous two months.In this episode the My Old Man Said podcast show we break down what actually changed — why the tempo was different, why Sancho suddenly looks like the player clubs have paid six figures a week for, and what McGinn's return means beyond the obvious.There is also a discussion of whether this is sustainable or whether it took a relegation-threatened West Ham side, forced into an unplanned formation after a warm-up injury, to make Villa look this good.Elsewhere: Watkins dropped from England and what that means for his remaining season, Tielemans' neat twenty-minute cameo, the Digne versus Madsen question, and why Villa have scored more goals from outside the box than any other team in Europe's top five leagues.Destiny is in Villa's own hands and it's time for them to do it themselves.UTVListen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.Become a MOMS Member for ad-free & extra shows - MOMS MembershipJoin the show's listener Facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid | Chris Budd - @BUDD_music / Phillip Shaw - @prsgameThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

This wasn't just a bad night.It was a warning.Villa went to Molineux knowing exactly what was at stake. A six-point cushion. Chelsea next. Momentum fragile but intact. Instead, they produced a performance devoid of conviction and lost to a Wolves side that had won one game in twenty-eight The tone was set early. Pau Torres, unmarked from a corner, headed wide when the script demanded a goal. From that moment, belief drained. Villa overplayed and hesitation set in. It was tension disguised as patience.The system didn't shift. Wolves' back three nullified Villa again. The midfield lacked line-breaking presence without Kamara and Tielemans. Barkley's introduction brought little defensive awareness, with questions raised over positioning for the opening goal.And when Wolves scored, Villa folded.It was a zero-sum performance. No rhythm. No authority. No personality.The bigger concern is psychological. Villa are no longer chasing. They are protecting. And suddenly they look like a team feeling the weight of expectation.Because if this was the wobble, the next four games will tell us whether it becomes a collapse.UTVGet a Great NordVPN DealGet a cracking deal on NordVPN with four months FREE & a 30 days money-back guarantee here: nordvpn.com/momsGET AD-FREE SHOWS and JOIN MATCH CLUBGet ad-free shows and extra shows, and join My Old Man Said's 24/7 Villa community, Match Club.For more details and to become a member, click here: Become a MOMS MemberJoin the show's listener facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid Chris Budd - @BUDD_musicPhillip Shaw - @prsgameMy Old Man Said - https://www.myoldmansaid.comThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

Aston Villa are third.Six points clear of the Champions League trapdoor and yet it doesn't feel comfortable.This episode digs into the strange duality of Villa's current position. On paper, the table looks strong. After 27 games, Villa sit on 51 points, three clear of Manchester United and six ahead of the Champions League drop line. Historically, that buffer matters.But performances tell a different story. The attack has stalled. The midfield spine is missing. The Molineux record is grim.Kamara, Tielemans and McGinn absent has stripped control from the centre of the pitch. Pau Torres' progressive passing is badly missed. Villa are defensively solid, conceding just five goals in 2026, but they are not imposing themselves. Games are tight, tense and reliant on moments rather than dominance.And now comes Wolves away.Four games without a win at Molineux. The last victory came in lockdown. No witnesses. It barely counts .Wolves may be near the bottom, but they have athletes, a back three Villa struggle against, and nothing to lose. For them, it is a free hit. For Villa, it is a pressure point.Lose, and doubt creeps in fast with Chelsea and Manchester United next. Win, and the fear flips into leverage.Because here is the opportunity: Villa only need to finish above one of Liverpool, Chelsea or United to achieve their objective .That is the equation.Fear factor or opportunity?The next two weeks will decide the narrative of the season.UTVGet a Great NordVPN DealGet a cracking deal on NordVPN with four months FREE & a 30 days money-back guarantee here: nordvpn.com/momsGET AD-FREE SHOWS and JOIN MATCH CLUBGet ad-free shows and extra shows, and join My Old Man Said's 24/7 Villa community, Match Club.For more details and to become a member, click here: Become a MOMS MemberJoin the show's listener facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid Chris Budd - @BUDD_musicPhillip Shaw - @prsgameMy Old Man Said - https://www.myoldmansaid.comThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

This is not about one result. It is about direction.Aston Villa remain in a strong league position, but the performances beneath it are raising legitimate questions. The defensive numbers are impressive. Only five goals conceded in 2026. Structure is there. Organisation is there.Fluency is not.Across recent weeks, Villa's open-play chance creation has dipped sharply. The xG numbers now align with what the eye test has been saying for some time. Games at Villa Park have become tight, tense, and dependent on moments rather than patterns.There is also context. The midfield spine has been disrupted. Kamara, Tielemans and McGinn missing together strips out control and tempo. Yet Unai Emery has left Pau Torres benched, a player whose progressive passing underpinned last season's best performances.But every contender has injuries.This episode asks the harder question: is this a temporary grind phase, or are we watching a team slowly stalling?The Wolves fixture looms large. Win it, and momentum returns. Lose it, and doubt spreads quickly into the Champions League race and beyond.This is the stage of the season where narratives harden.Momentum or meltdown? The next few weeks will tell us everything.UTVGet a Great NordVPN DealGet a cracking deal on NordVPN with four months FREE & a 30 days money-back guarantee here: nordvpn.com/momsGET AD-FREE SHOWS and JOIN MATCH CLUBGet ad-free shows and extra shows, and join My Old Man Said's 24/7 Villa community, Match Club.For more details and to become a member, click here: Become a MOMS MemberJoin the show's listener facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid Chris Budd - @BUDD_musicPhillip Shaw - @prsgameMy Old Man Said - https://www.myoldmansaid.comThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

This game depends on context.On the surface, a draw after taking the lead feels frustrating. Dig deeper, and it looks very different.Aston Villa went to one of the league's most awkward away grounds, against one of the form teams in the division, without their key midfield controllers. What followed was not control or fluency, but resilience.Villa started brightly, moved the ball well early, and took the lead through Rogers with a cracking finish that hinted at a comfortable afternoon. It didn't last. Bournemouth raised the tempo, flooded central areas, and turned the game into a sustained physical and tactical test.Without Kamara, McGinn, or Tielemans, Villa struggled to slow the game down. Possession became survival rather than dominance. Bournemouth piled on pressure, racked up shots, and forced Emi Martinez into a genuine man-of-the-match performance.This episode breaks down why the lack of midfield control was inevitable, why the goal conceded was frustrating but out of character for the defence in the game, and why Villa's ability to ride the storm says more about their season than the scoreline does.This was not pretty. It was not comfortable. But it was earned.UTVGet a Great NordVPN DealGet a cracking deal on NordVPN with four months FREE & a 30 days money-back guarantee here: nordvpn.com/momsGET AD-FREE SHOWS and JOIN MATCH CLUBGet ad-free shows and extra shows, and join My Old Man Said's 24/7 Villa community, Match Club.For more details and to become a member, click here: Become a MOMS MemberJoin the show's listener facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid Chris Budd - @BUDD_musicPhillip Shaw - @prsgameMy Old Man Said - https://www.myoldmansaid.comThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

The 1-0 home loss wasn't about a lack of effort, it was about what was missing.Aston Villa had the ball, the territory, and eventually a numerical advantage against Brentford. What they didn't have were the midfielders who usually turn control into pressure. Kamara. Tielemans. McGinn. Without them, Villa's dominance stayed neat, predictable, and ultimately harmless.This My Old Man Said post-mortem episode focuses on how midfield absences shaped the game. Villa circulated the ball patiently but lacked aggression between the lines, runners arriving with intent, or anyone prepared to take responsibility in tight central areas. Brentford were able to retreat, organise, and wait.Even after the red card, Villa struggled to change the pattern. Possession increased, urgency didn't. The disallowed goal only deepened the frustration, with VAR dragging play back to find a marginal infringement and draining what little momentum Villa had built.Brentford didn't steal this. They controlled any potential chaos and Villa lacked the guile to break them down.We also look at the bigger picture and should we be concerned?UTVGet a Great NordVPN DealGet a cracking deal on NordVPN with four months FREE & a 30 days money-back guarantee here: nordvpn.com/momsGET AD-FREE SHOWS and JOIN MATCH CLUBGet ad-free shows and extra shows, and join My Old Man Said's 24/7 Villa community, Match Club.For more details and to become a member, click here: Become a MOMS MemberJoin the show's listener facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid Chris Budd - @BUDD_musicPhillip Shaw - @prsgameMy Old Man Said - https://www.myoldmansaid.comThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.
