Verna returns to join husband Rupert to discuss the pulsating, riveting, nerve shredding victory over CL qualification rivals Chelsea.

Rashford arrives at half time and with Mcginn, Youri, Maalen and Assensio somehow get Villa over the line to a win with 2 goals in the second half ,

Another slow start, another goal given to the opposition, another masterclass in ineptitude from Watkins.

Bit this is what they new guys were bought for, to drag this sluggish side over the line and now there are delivering. More nice results today and we didnt blow it this time.

wonderful, wonderful stuff

Husband is joined by the cousins Nick and Jo, as its a midweek game and Verna the wife is only contractually obliged to appear at weekend premiership games,

The cousins discuss

• the pulsating, heart aching nature of the game
• could have won and could have lost it
• the villa midfield dominant
• Martinez saves wow
• Garcia recovery was superb form after this crucial mistake
• Watkins brilliant

  Nick and Rupert believe another draw compounds our problems in European qualification where as Jo is still a believer

Husband - of European's leading podcast on Aston Villa by a married couple - does a solo, final whistle pod on the very disappointing result against a team with only10 men for over 50 minutes.

Same old, same old

• Lazy, casual and complacent defending
• Poor finishing from Watkins

and now too consistently...

• Dreadful corners
• Not capitalising on other teams also losing around us

In fact Villa went backwards today to 9th and still with negative goal difference - simply not good enough

The new players were the big positive - in particular Marcus Rashfordwho is indeed Marcus Rashford. He was superb

Husband and wife team get together (virtually) from the Midlands and Paris to give an enthusiastic thumbs up to Villa's win against Spurs.

Close to the best performance of the season.

Emery surprises with leaving the new stars on the bench. But Garcia and Maalen both do exceptionally well. Garcia goes from Spanish second division to playing against the Big 6 without a blink. Great poise from the young man.

Both replacements CBs deserve a mention, impressive stuff

Mcginn and Rodgers immense - get the ball on the half turn

Ramsey lucky to score as his 5 shots we all at the goalkeeper.

Asenssio my new favourite player

Rashford definitely wants to play and perform

Husband from Europe's leading Husband and wife podcast on all things Aston Villa discusses the Villa's hectic transfer window with Cousin Jo Harper.

They discuss in detail the departures of Billy Jean Bidace, Human Statue Carlos, the Skittle Buendia, Kosta N , who is Joe Gaucia? and finally the big transfer of the window the departure of Jhon Duran to Al Nassir, leaving his beloved Aston Villa.

Jo and Rupert also discuss whether Rashford and Assensio will work out, plus they both appear to like Maalan. TheDisasi signing key as it was 6/7 out of 10 window but his signing turned it into a 9 out of 10

Scratchy internet, but some good views all the same.

LIfe-long Spurs fan Gary Collins bravely joins the Husband, Rupert to discuss Spur's season - the injuries, Ang ball, levy, the signings and the kids keeping it going. They also discuss the history between the clubs in the cup and parallels in their recent poor trophy haul

Gary gives a view on whether Ange will survive a defeat at Villa and go out of both cups in a week

A digital fireside chat between old friends

Rupert - the husband- does a quick final whistle view of the very disappointing 2 nil loss at Wolves

• What's Emery's plan after a mid week game, continue to play a tired team?
• The injuries are not helping
• Wolves should have been 4 nil up at HT
• Villa make 4 subs - 3 make a difference
• the Ref and Var deliver another awful performance
• That's probably it for Leon Bailey
• We need some new players, lets get Rashford and Felix and any CB

Husband and wife Verna and Rupert have an immediate reaction to more dropped points against West Ham.

Villa's position as the 8th be team feels right as they are now adrift from better teams above

No doubt more excuses of tiredness to follow

Great start and lovely one touch football, great finish from Ramsey

Ming's injury definitely impacted the Villa and the positively the Hammers. We held our breath and feared the worst, but our defensive hero appeared on the bench in the second half

Celtic now a massive game

Ramsey, Konsa, Youri and particualry Kamara
