The Villa Podcast

We need an award for Diego Carlos but we don't think it'd be clear what it's for. We need to talk about Ollie Watkins - another captain's armband on Fantasy Football unrewarded. And a discussion about how we feel after a result like that against Southampton at home. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Aston Villa win! Aston Villa play well! Aston Villa show the intensity, the hurt, the ambition. They stick together, they run together, they come together again. A fun match and a fun podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A lot of embarrassing WTF award nominations to discuss as Aston Villa are humbled at Chelsea. A poor performance again and the poor form of many players continues. We have to change something, right? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A good performance, a decent result, a massive sense of unfairness. We pick the bones of the Juventus draw, the injustice, the chances, the Martinez save, the madness and the key moments. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Another uninspiring performance and another game without a win as Aston Villa come back from the 2-week break not looking like much has changed. We debate the penalty-taker for the club, look at the madness of the tactics we're deploying with the defensive personnel and discuss ways of moving forward, literally. Hosted on Acast.

Losing to Liverpool at Anfield wouldn't feel as bad if we weren't on such a bad run. But we are. Aston Villa are held at arm's length throughout a controlled Arne Slot performance. Some chances missed, some penalty shouts missed and Austin MacPhee, making sure he's never missed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Aston Villa concede their first goal in the Champions League and lose their first game because Tyrone Mings picks the ball up and carries it in his own box during play. Emery's team are struggling with how opposition sides are now playing against Villa's defence. What is going on recently? How do we stop it? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Humiliating day at Spurs to go along with what is a bad run of form for Aston Villa. 15 goals conceded in 10 league games and now we've been battered by Tottenham twice in a row. A lot of management decisions to discuss, out of form players and continuous mistakes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Barkley or Cash for their goals? Barkley or Duran for the missed chances? Catch it or not for Emi Martinez? Bournemouth's 96th minute goal hit to the pit of the stomach. Thankfully, Liam was able to get proper perspective over the weekend. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

From Jhon Duran's happy slaps on McGinn's shaved head, to Tielemans' cool interview and Villa attracting all the media love, it was another good night to be a fan, a lover of Unai Emery's Aston Villa. Conán wants to savour this feeling. Remember. Liam wants to chart the stages of hell, Aston Villa style. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Fresh haircuts for the boys and a big win for Villa. The squad is looking healthy, the rotation is looking sensible and Tielemans is bossing games. We discuss a big win at Fulham. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A forgetful game but not a forgetful podcast! A lot to discuss including the Rob Jones/John Brooks dream team. That free kick routine. And Man United's injury crisis versus an actual injury crisis, Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Villa belong. 6 years ago today, Steve Bruce took charge of his final Aston Villa match. The journey since then has been incredible, culminating in tonight, beating Bayern Munich in the Champions League. And yet, it isn't even culminated, is it? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A thoroughly disappointing performance from Aston Villa who were lucky to come away with a draw at Ipswich. A lot of Sunday League stuff going on, particularly with Diego Carlos. We discuss some of Emery's substitutions and pray to god Man United don't sack Ten Hag. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Another comeback, another win. Another ropey start to a game against Wolves followed by a scintillating second half. Now we ask, is it time for Jhon Duran and Watkins to play together? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Aston Villa are back in the Champions League and it looks like exactly where they belong. Five goals against Young Boys, three of them count, more chances, and one hell of an opening night. We also talk Declan Rice and Ange Postecoglou. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jhon Duran wins the game for Aston Villa again. A comeback win over Everton had plenty of positives and loads of talking points - including an FPL update, an Ireland season ticket update after the England game and Aston Villa FC moving in on The Villa Podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A traumatic situation, being 2-0 up away to Leicester, but Aston Villa get the job done this time. Unai Emery and Austin MacPhee's team deserved the win but there's plenty to talk about, including some bad habits we'd like to see ironed out. Loads of Fantasy Football chat, believe it or not, and a look at Ten Hag's £600m versus Emery's £5m. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more informati...

Good performance? Galling result. Was this a six-pointer for Aston Villa against Arsenal? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're back! And we're looking good on day one. Aston Villa impressed away at West Ham where Areola delivered the milk again. Will Lopetegui stay for much longer? Amadou Onana is the real deal whilst Konsa and Torres do it again. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're back with things we missed - Aston Villa edition, including Crystal Palace, transfers and season reviews. And things we missed - non Villa edition, which is a hell of a lot also with the Euros, Ten Hag and Chelsea. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We did it! Aston Villa have qualified for the Champions League and we have A LOT to talk about. Great stuff from the Liverpool game, terrible stuff from the Liverpool game. Amazing stuff from the season. The stacked quotes of the week and the outfits at the AVFC Player of the Season awards. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The European adventure is over but we still enjoyed this podcast. Please listen... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

One game closer believe it or not. One Villa win or one more Spurs loss and we've made it to the Champions League. My God! So why does it feel so painful right now? More injuries, less shots and a team we are so proud of crawling to the end. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A bad night, a bad referee but who really thinks we can't beat Olympiacos by two goals? We talk about all six in the Villa Park encounter, the bad habits of some of our players and limping over the line as this amazing season comes to a close. Hosted on Acast.
