Nine wins in a row for Aston Villa and the noise is loud. They're talking about the title race in one room and they're scratching their heads in the numbers room, needing to believe that this won't keep going. We talk about the West Ham game, the mistakes, the goals and, yes, the EXPECTED goals - and how Villa are actually USING the data in their favour. If you'd like to support us in any way, you can - but only for Christmas! - right here: buymeacoffee.com/thevillapodcast Hosted on Acast. See a...

Maybe teams should start doing something about Villa's outside of the box goals? Rob Edwards and Wolves taken care of at Villa Park but it wasn't for the want of Chris Kavanagh's whistle and lack thereof. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What a win after a great turnaround after a terrible first half - podcasting wise, this is nearly a perfect game! Is there a more likeable player than John McGinn during our time watching? What has happened to Ollie Watkins? Emery, with a fresh haircut, is gaslighting Liam about Morgan Rogers too. McGinn trigger Morgan Rogers loves MacPhee Cup Champion Sancho Watkins leverage Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....

Villa beat Man City again. Matt Cash stars again and this time he's only the bloody match-winner. We discuss Emery waiting on Guardiola, Onana's defensive nous and Jadon Sancho's reaction to being brought off. And of course, again, who will take the next penalty? Hosted on Acast.

Three goals in one game and our first three points of the season. Say thank you, Fulham. So much content outside of SO MANY goals. WTF award is back. Say thank you, Martinez. Rogers goes back to back on the Leon Bailey award. And Elmo is back to win one too. All that, and Liam takes us on a brief tour of Irish history and song. Hosted on Acast.

Who will take Aston Villa's next penalty? I'm actually asking. We don't know. But we go through the thin options. A good win to finally get our season started and get the European campaign up and running nicely. And some competition is emergine. We discuss Malen or Watkins. Maatsen or Digne. Elliott or Rogers. And Monchi leaving. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Unai Emery leaves his Aston Villa team to fend for themselves in Sunderland as he heads off the pitch before full time. Ollie Watkins sitters are back but whilst Jadon Sancho should've had an assist, Emery was critical of Harvey Elliott and we're not sure he's right to be. A terrible start to the season so some broader questions being discussed tonight, including the exit in the League Cup to Brentford. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....

Aston Villa still can't score and don't look like they can create a chance. Emery has been looking for signings but the players were the same and it was even more narrow and more slow. Michael Keane cements his place in the top 5 of our favourite non Villa entities. Jack Grealish asks for a second yellow for Cash again and Damian Vidagany takes to the social media pages.

An embarrassing 24 hours all told and we have a lot of things to talk about. Emi Martinez is a no show whilst Marc Guehi gives a man of the match display for his team. Matt Cash features in two opposition goals and Guessand or Malen don't make much difference to this stale team right now. Happy international break. Hosted on Acast.

A terrible result, horrific performance. Aston Villa firing a warning shot at their own fans who were thinking they might enjoy this season. What happened at Brentford was sobering. Some players are playing well below the standard and some of the coaching ideas aren't working right now. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Three qualifications for Europe in three seasons. Emery keeps doing it. The only question is, which European competition will it be? Fulham couldn't do it again for us... could they? We have the Rosenthal winner of the season and we have to stop and celebrate the club record Premier League goalscorer, Ollie Watkins. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Villa beat Fulham of course but there's a lot happening.

A gut punch in the 94th minute brings Villa's winning streak and unbeaten run to an end and puts Man City in a great spot for Champions League - and us in a tough spot.

Villa overcome Southampton but Ollie Watkins passes up two penalties that would've tied him as the club all-time Premier League top scorer... if he scored, which not everyone on the podcast thinks he would have. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Is this tie over? PSG celebrations would make you think so. Unai Emery doesn't think that. A gut-punch of a late goal gives Paris a 3-1 win after Morgan Rogers put Aston Villa ahead briefly. A big game and outplayed, we're going to have plenty of podcast material. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
