Dan and Callum continue to voyage through the endless black void of the international break by bringing you 'The Regardless XI' for Blues and Villa. The rules are simple: pick the best Blues or Villa XI, regardless of how good those players actually were in the Second City, but rather by taking their whole career in to account. For example, does Dwight Yorke get in the Blues team? Does Peter Schmeichel keep goal in the Villa team? If you still don't get it, give the episode a listen and you'll work it out!

After an unexpected break, The Second City Podcast returns to break through the black void that is the international break. Dan and Callum reflect on a monumental few weeks for both sides of the Second City, including Villa's monumental Champions League win against Bayern Munich, and Blues' continued dominance of League One. The duo also look at the fortunes of their fellow West Midlands clubs, as well as discussing Blues Women, Contract Extensions and 3rd kits.

Callum and Dan attempt to fill the remaining days of the international break by discussing their best loan signing XIs for Aston Villa and Birmingham City from over the years. On top of their trip down memory lane, they discuss Blues' simultaneous draw and loss to Walsall in the EFL Trophy, Villa's new third kit and Champions League ticket prices, before previewing Blues' top-of-the-table clash with Wrexham on Monday, and Villa's upcoming matches against Everton and Young Boys.
