Will

Conan Doherty a wordsmith for our times that was that was epic Joe Maloy picked a bad day to be off I can't believe it I know his birthday no less he's off for his birthday doing some birthday stuff and in his stead we have the great Conan Doherty and what yeah you couldn't pick a more serendipitous time for Joe to be off

Take me into your night last night from like kind of kickoff time.

Where were you watching it?

What were your feelings, thoughts, emotions?

Yeah, you looked stressed yesterday.

Billy's so young that I can still swear with impunity and he's still looking at his own hands like being like these are my hands so I think yeah I have a few more months of being able to effing blind before yeah that probably sets it yeah but then I like the first half was just well obviously the last five minutes of the first half I was going nuts when was the first goal

41 or something like that yeah and it was obviously a screamer and then the second one because you're thinking okay it's 1-0 hope we don't go into a shell here then the second is just even better two screamers like you can't in a final it's so funny I was trying to think like afterwards have I seen a final go quite like that with like kind of two kind of screamers just like immediately the game is done really because Freiburg had offered nothing and didn't look like they were going to get back into it so I was very confident at that point from a Villa perspective but yeah to win it like that to absolute peaches

Must have been particularly sweet.

Was it emotional at all or was it just like, you've been on this journey for a long time, you're obviously a huge Villa fan, very vocal, a supporter.

Was it emotional or just pure satisfaction?

wouldn't be just like it would have been strange if you'd come in and we'd been doing this about arsehole because i think they're too big a team i feel like because bill as you say 30 years they've been in the championship they're not a top team quote unquote so i feel like you know people are everyone is kind of you know enjoying it whereas with the very top teams people will be like why are you doing this kind of show devoted to one of the big teams where this feels like completely like a good fun everyone good family fun everyone can get on board with this i think i agree with you on that

Oh yeah, I was like, dude, what did he do?

I've never heard of this man.

It was beautifully set up.

So is that something, have you seen them do that kind of move in the season to date?

Or were they kind of waiting till the final or a big game to unveil this?

You didn't have to wait long for the second one.

Tell me about Buendia.

I'm familiar with him.

I've seen him play.
