Newcastle v Villa podcast: Bent, Karim and Lambert positive

Villa's latest podcast is a cracker - with a host of claret and blue stars previewing the big Newcastle game.

Villa travel to the Sports Direct Arena to take on the Geordies and we have comment from Darren Bent, Karim El Ahmadi and Paul Lambert on the eve of the match.

Bent tells us about the pre-match huddle and how it brings everyone together before each game.

He also tells us about his delight at the passion of the fans and how they can help in every match as the players feed off their singing and chanting.

El Ahmadi also highlights the fans, insisting he's eager to do well and impress them.

He stresses that their enthusiasm for football and the team is fantastic and that he's known games won in the past through the sheer backing of supporters.

The midfield ace says that now is the time to find a real cutting-edge up top as they travel to the north-east.

Lambert, meanwhile, says Villa will be playing to win in their second away game of the season so far.

He also highlights the talent of Stephen Ireland and says he's keen to harness his quality as the campaign continues apace.

We also relive the 4-1 win over Newcastle from February 2008, with Mark Delaney in the commentary box alongside Jack Woodward.

Enjoy their partisan reactions as John Carew bags a hat-trick and Wilfred Bouma fires home his only goal in claret and blue.
