Second City Podcast

It’s Crazy, Mental, Staggering...

This week on the SCP, Dan breaks down a disastrous double game week for Blues and Wayne Rooney. Callum is in a chirpier mood as he gives his thoughts on a far better week for Villa. Elsewhere, it's away day fever in 'What We're Wearing', and the duo look ahead to both sides' upcoming matches this weekend.

The Perfect Hat-Trick of Hotels

As the Rooney Revolution gets underway at Birmingham City, Dan looks back on his opening game away at Middlesbrough, whilst Callum reacts to yet another home victory for Aston Villa against West Ham. As well as looking ahead to this week's fixtures, the duo look in to this week's news regarding Villa's Nicolò Zaniolo, and Blues' new third kit reveal.
 
 

The Curious Case Of Jota Peleteiro

As another international break rolls around, Callum and Dan take another look back on a former player or manager to represent both sides of the Second City. This time, the man in the spotlight is Jota Peleteiro, who arrived at St. Andrew's to much excitement as Birmingham City's record signing in 2017. However, a surprising switch to Aston Villa followed in 2019, and by 2022, Jota had retired aged just 31. So how did a player of such ability fall from grace so quickly?

Eustace Out At Blues, Rooney Inbound - Our Reaction

Most of Dan and Cal's plans for this week's SCP are thrown out the window with the huge news of John Eustace leaving Blues and being replaced by the man himself, former England captain Wayne Rooney.
The duo also react to the West Midlands Grand Slam of Blues vs. West Brom and Wolves vs. Villa (as well as Villa's huge victory in Europe), and away from events in the Second City, talk about FIFA's strange decision regarding the 2030 World Cup. 

Norwich Is Blacklisted!

This week on The Second City Podcast, whilst Callum revels in Villa's remarkable Premier League win over Brighton, Dan tries to recover from his Lord Of The Rings-esque away day quest to Norwich. There's two incredible shirts worn by the dynamic duo this week, as well as a passionate rant about why we love the League Cup and Aston Villa's badge-gate! 

I’d Taken On A Bad Boy Look For A Few Days!

'The football is officially going on forever', with Callum and Dan reacting to another double game week for both Villa and Blues. Callum also delves in to some X-Files theme tune worthy goings-on with Villa's new Castore kit, and they both look ahead to another double game week coming up!

Wayne Rooney Screams Sexy!

Y'ulright bab?! Callum and Dan return to react to Villa's late masterclass against Crystal Palace and Blues' late disasterclass against Watford. As well as previewing the upcoming fixtures (including Villa's trip to Poland), Callum rants about a new money making scheme at Villa Park, and Dan reacts to the recent rumours of one Wayne Rooney potentially making his way to St. Andrew's.

When Alex McLeish Rocked The Second City

In the first of a new series on the Second City Podcast, Callum and Dan take a look back on a former player or manager who has represented both B6 and B9, beginning this week with former manager Alex McLeish, who shocked West Midlands football when he controversially switched from Blues to Villa in 2011.
