MacPhee ego, Carlos assists, Watkins form

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.

John's head, Tyrone's hand, and Unai's dilemma

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.

McGinn calls rank, late changes and a meme wall

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.

Endgame Cash, Thereabouts Emi and life in perspective

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.

Aston Villa: To hell and back

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.

Just football Youri, Twitter Martinez and the new barber

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.

Oct 21, 202455 min

Jones' mic, Rashford's tackle and Cash's long throw

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.

Oct 06, 202450 min

Jaden's heart, Duran's landmines, Kompany's cap

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.

Carlos' turn, Buendia's free kick and weird subs

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.

New Barkley, cagey Carlos and time for Duran and Watkins?

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.

Beautiful pinstripes, cheeky corners & absolute screamers

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.

Sep 17, 202433 min

Duran's reality, Dyche's t-shirt and podcast wars

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.

Ramsey mindset, Coote's Law, transfer deadline

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 information.

Villa are massive, Onana shines, standard Pau

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.

Aug 17, 202459 min

Duran, Dougie, Barkley, England, UFOs & Weimann

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.

Monstrous Chambers, Carlos' clearance and Champions League

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 finish line, the penalties, the enjoyment

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.

May 05, 202455 min

The onside trap, the Dougie dip and Spurs

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.

Carlos' cigarette, Chelsea's children and Olsen's point

Potentially the worst performance of the season so in that sense, we have to say this was a good point! Villa are in control of their top 4 destiny as this spectacular season is reaching its crescendo but we do have some major WTF moments to discuss. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tiele triangles, Braveheart Bailey and Arsenal’s Emery hatred

What a performance from a serious football team with a world class manager. Unai Emery’s Aston Villa do the double over Arsenal and my God they were brilliant. The Weimann Meter is competitive today. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Help Emi, frank Ollie and Coefficient FC

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.

Apr 11, 202437 min

Tielemans tank, Salisbury stamp, United uncertainty

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.

Apr 06, 20241 hr 8 min

O'Neil propaganda, camera-shy McGinn and Zaniolo shockwaves

Villa eat wolves for dinner as Diaby strokes in a rasper and Zaniolo and Duran cause carnage from the bench. A good performance and a great win.
