Dean Smith Breaks Curse to Return Villa to Winning Ways

It's often said that winning the Manager of the Month award brings a curse of bad results. After winning the award in December, Dean Smith saw his team winless in 2021 and hit by a Covid outbreak. A 2-0 win against Newcastle soon broke the spell though.Speaking of curses, as well as discussing Villa's home win over a returning Steve Bruce's Newcastle United, we look at various alleged incidents of witchcraft, superstition and voodoo in football from around the world in the past couple of weeks.As well as talk of a Villa transfer, we look at the latest incarnation of an attempt of a European Super League.Overrated or Underrated sees ex-Villa and Newcastle midfielder Nobby Solano under the microscope.Enjoy!UTVGET THE EXCLUSIVE MOMS PATRON PODCAST CHANNEL and JOIN MATCH CLUBIf you want extra podcast shows during the month and to join Match Club, please do support the show by becoming a MOMS Patron.For more details and to become a Patron, click here: Join MOMS PatronsFollow the show on Twitter at @myoldmansaid and join the show's listener facebook group The Mad Few.T-ShirtListeners can now buy a MOMS Podcast T-shirt or mug to show their support of the show and look cool, check out the MOMS SHOP to buy.Credits:David Michael - @oldmansaid Chris Budd - @BUDD_musicPhillip Shaw - @prsgameMy Old Man Said - https://www.myoldmansaid.comEditor/Producer - David MichaelMusic - Philip MartenBecome 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.
