Manchester United 1981–1986: Flair, Frustration & the Big Ron EraWere Manchester United under Ron Atkinson a team of unfulfilled potential — or flamboyant trailblazers who set the stage for everything that followed?In this episode, Graham Dunn and Jamie Rooney are joined by lifelong United super-fan Richard Evans to dive into one of Old Trafford's most compelling transitional eras: Manchester United from 1981 to 1986.Arriving after years of drift, Ron Atkinson injected charisma, swagger, and a bold attacking identity back into the club. His United were easy on the eye and fearless in intent, with a midfield powered by Bryan Robson, elegance from Ray Wilkins, and cutting edge from Frank Stapleton and teenage sensation Norman Whiteside.We revisit the era's unforgettable highlights — from the dramatic 1983 FA Cup triumph to electric European nights against Barcelona and Juventus — moments when United felt capable of beating anyone. Yet the conversation also tackles the frustrations: league inconsistency, injuries to key figures, and defensive flaws that repeatedly derailed genuine title pushes.With the help of our guest panel, we debate a defining question: Was Big Ron's United an underachieving nearly-team, or the bridge between mediocrity and the coming Ferguson revolution?TakeawaysRon Atkinson brought a flamboyant, confident style back to Manchester United.Bryan Robson was the heartbeat of Atkinson's side.The atmosphere at Villa Park during this era's big games was unforgettable.United's European run produced thrilling clashes with Barcelona and Juventus.Mark Hughes emerged as a major figure late in the Atkinson years.Injuries to key players consistently undermined title challenges.If you enjoy these podcasts, please don't forget to subscribe and give us a rating and also tell everyone about them!

This Week on The Trawl it's winners and losers time... and Reform appear to be losing in a rather spectacular fashion. Marina and Jemma break down the implosion: Russian ties, disappearing councillors, and a Kent council Zoom meltdown that makes Jackie Weaver look like a stateswoman. Oh, and Nigel Farage's partner? She's now reportedly embroiled in a criminal probe over alleged EU fund fraud. Suddenly it's all looking a bit spicy...Meanwhile, the Greens are quietly stacking up wins, the Lib Dems are snatching by-elections, and Reform's “party of business” can't even file VAT properly. If this is their political auditions, they're flunking hard.Then it's the Aston Villa vs. Maccabi Tel Aviv saga, where British politicians united to defend a fanbase banned for racist violence. The outrage machine kicked into action and Starmer ended up looking like a massive bell after the Israeli police banned their own fans - unless of course they're antisemitic too?

#JonGaunt #PrinceWilliam #KeirStarmer #AyoubKhan #FanBan #FootballJustice #FreeTheFans #AstonVilla #MaccabiTelAviv Enough is enough. British football is at a crossroads — and this disgraceful decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from attending the Europa League clash at Villa Park is a line that should never have been crossed. The Prime Minister himself says it's “the wrong decision,” yet the authorities plough on, silencing supporters and staining the reputation of our national game. In this show, we're calling this out for what it is: a cowardly, discriminatory move dressed up as “public safety.” West Midlands Police and the local Safety Advisory Group must answer for their actions — and if they can't justify this outrageous ban, then heads should roll. This is Britain: we do not exclude fans because of who they are or where they come from. It's time for real leadership. Prince William — as Aston Villa's most famous fan and a future king — must speak up and help overturn this injustice. And if the police leadership cannot defend the indefensible, they should step aside. Join Jon Gaunt live as he demands accountability, exposes the failures behind this scandal, and fight for the principle that football belongs to everyone. #JonGaunt #PrinceWilliam #KeirStarmer #AyoubKhan #FanBan #FootballJustice #FreeTheFans #AstonVilla #MaccabiTelAviv #EuropaLeague Jon Gaunt, Prince William, Ayoub Khan, Aston Villa, fan ban, Maccabi Tel Aviv, football justice, UK politics, free the fans, Villa Park, Europa League, football rights This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

On this week's Claret & Brew - and with a trip to the shiny Spurs stadium approaching - Dan Rolinson, Mat Kendrick and John Townley debated the merits of Aston Villa leaving Villa Park in favour of a new shiny stadium of their own.
After a winning week that took Aston Villa from the chaos of Rotterdam to the comfort of Villa Park, My Old Man Said returns to make sense of it all.From the surreal experience of being herded behind Perspex to watch Villa play Feyenoord to the sight of Napalm Death on the flight home, the European trip had everything - but most importantly, it reminded fans what Unai Emery's Villa can be when fully switched on.Back on home soil, Burnley offered the perfect chance to consolidate that rhythm. With Marlen's ruthless finishing, Bogarde's composure under pressure, and a midfield that finally hummed again, it felt like the real Villa had clocked back in. Yet, the familiar sight of a soft goal from a set piece showed there's still work to do before they can start dreaming bigger.In this episode, we unpack the growing control in Villa's play, the tactical tweaks behind the win, and why this run might just be the spark to reawaken Emery's machine - plus a few laughs along the way.UTVAs mentioned in the show:InvestEngine – Build Your Own ETF Portfolio (ISA and SIPP options available)Build your own SIPP (Self-Invested Personal Pension) by choosing your own ETF's for long-term flexibility and specialisation in how your pension is invested.

Aston Villa finally got their first league win of the season with a 3-1 victory over Fulham at Villa Park - but is this the turning point or just a temporary lift?In this week's My Old Man Said podcast, we break down a game that went from frustration to relief. From Watkins snapping his seven-hour league goal drought, to Buendia's record-breaking six-minute cameo of a goal and assist.We also ask the big questions: has Pau Torres unlocked Villa's true identity for Emery? Are new arrivals like Elliott and Sancho destined to struggle?Beyond the pitch, we try and embrace a new football “woke” language guide.UTVBe Smart and Invest in YourselfAs mentioned in the show, don't feed football's commercial beast and invest in yourself.

Fulham's trip to Villa Park started brightly with an early Raúl Jiménez goal, but Raúl's injury after just 11 minutes left Marco Silva's side light up top. Second-half strikes from McGinn and Buendía sealed a 3-1 defeat. We cover controversial refereeing decisions which happened before Villa grew into the game, Fulham's defensive frailties, and lack of attacking depth.Guests:George CooperJack KellyDan CookeAvais MalikProducer:Freddie CooperSupport Fulhamish's independent podcasts, videos and articles by subscribing to our Substack: http://www.fulhamish.co.ukFollow Fulhamish on socials:http://www.x.com/fulhamishpodhttp://www.instagram.com/fulhamishpodhttps://www.tiktok.com/@fulhamishhttps://www.youtube.com/@fulhamishpodSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Dan Rolinson and John Townley head back to Villa Park to answer a round of your Aston Villa questions after Unai Emery's side notched their first win of the 25/26 Premier League season.
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 fromLincoln 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.UTVGET AD-FREE SHOWS and JOIN MATCH CLUBIf you want ad-free advance versions of the shows and extra exclusive shows during the month and to join My Old Man Said's 24/7 Villa community, Match Club, please do support the show by becoming a MOMS Member.For more details and to become a member, click here: Become a MOMS MemberFollow the show on:X/Twitter at @myoldmansaid / Threads at @myoldmansaid / Bluesky at @myoldmansaid and join the show's listener facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid Chris Budd - @BUDD_musicMy Old Man Said - https://www.myoldmansaid.comThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

On Clash of the Correspondents James is joined by Aston Villa fan Lee Jackson and Fulham fan Lewis James to discuss the latest at their clubs ahead of Sunday's GW6 meeting at Villa Park. And there's only one place to start, what is going on at Villa!? With only one goal scored, no wins, and Sunday's limp draw at ten man Sunderland the most recent result, an inquest is beginning in to what is going wrong for Villa. Meanwhile, Fulham have started well, they've won the last two at their only defeat, at Chelsea, was certainly controversial. Can Fulham add to Villa's woes on Sunday? Plus, do Villa assets need binning on mass, or should faith be kept in the likes of Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins for the upcoming home games against Fulham and Burnley? And there's coverage too for FPL on Fulham assets including Joachim Andersen, Josh King and Rodrigo Muniz.

Two games unbeaten, but it hardly feels like a run worth celebrating. Against ten-man Sunderland, Aston Villa had over an hour to assert themselves and still contrived to look second best. Unai Emery called it “lazy” - and for once, the word fits.From powder-puff defending that gifted the Black Cats an equaliser, to attacking play that never once forced their keeper into panic, Villa's performance was a rancid watch. Possession stats may look healthy, but the reality was lethargic movement, predictable patterns, and wasted opportunities.This week's My Old Man Said Podcast digs into the identity crisis at Villa Park. Why, nearly three years into Emery's reign, does the starting XI still resemble the one he inherited? Has Villa's slick system simply gone stale? And why does every promising new signing need months to “learn the system” while results go begging?We also cover:The missed chance to put ten-man Sunderland to the sword.Emery's frustrations boiling over on the touchline.How ticketing shambles continue to test the patience of travelling supporters.Why Tony Pulis might just have been right all along.Is this a bump in the road, or the first cracks in the Emery project?UTVGET AD-FREE SHOWS and JOIN MATCH CLUBIf you want ad-free advance versions of the shows and extra exclusive shows during the month and to join My Old Man Said's 24/7 Villa community, Match Club, please do support the show by becoming a MOMS Member.For more details and to become a member, click here: Become a MOMS MemberFollow the show on:X/Twitter at @myoldmansaid / Threads at @myoldmansaid / Bluesky at @myoldmansaid and join 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.
