The Villa Podcast

Potentially the worst performance of the season so in that sense, we have to say this was a good point!

A win in a European quarter-final, this has to be celebrated! Yes, there are things to be worried but there's also reason to smile and we tussle with that on tonight's podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Cross the ball against Aston Villa and you'll score. Brentford realised that for 9 minutes and thankfully they didn't keep going. A game that was in the back thrown away as we stumble toward the line. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A near-fatal blow to Aston Villa's top 4 prospects as we lose our captain, our confidence and our control in the Premier League race. Unai Emery set the team up more defensively and a nervous mindset overwhelmed Villa's approach. Mistakes, a red card, another gluttony of goals, mixed in with some posturing instead of running back. A bad day. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more informat...

Weird refereeing performance makes things hazy and confusing on another weird night in Amsterdam. Villa take a draw back to Villa Park without a good performance so it's an even bigger week ahead now. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Aston Villa win ANOTHER ONE - and it's in spite of conceding from set pieces again! Lucas Digne is the hero, Ollie Watkins is elite and Unai Emery sees enough and makes a triple substitution. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Incisive, dynamic, beautiful attacking Aston Villa were back in force at Villa Park as Nottingham Forest got sliced open time and time again.

Imagine losing six points to that Man United team. We finally get around to discussing the sickening nature of the latest Aston Villa defeat, probably the worst of them all despite playing so well.

A frustrating day at Goodison Park as Villa fail to capitalise against a poor Everton team.

We talk about Austin McPhee's new inventions, Lenglet and Diego Carlos running mechanics and big Jhon Du...
