The Villa Podcast

A win gets 2025 up and running and Leon Bailey is back in the goals! Ian Maatsen delivers from the bench and Watkins delivers the usual shift and missed chances. Lots to talk through including the 2010 League Cup final.

The Jhon Duran red card and THREE GAME SUSPENSION dominates the top of the show as another trip to Saudi sees Villa getting burned. We discuss Emery's record v Eddie Howe and Villa's openness in these big away games of late.

Rogers and Duran, the bash brothers, rip City apart. Youri Tielemans runs the show, Kamara and Onana run over the top of the Man City players who just stop running now and Jack Grealish has an eventful homecoming.

A lot to let out this evening. We get straight into a discussion about The Big Pictureistas and the "scapegoating" arguments. We look at Emi Martinez' unbelievable save and ask does it matter when what happens happens. Another lead blown, more dropped points to Forest and more civil war in the Aston Villa fanbase. But it should be a fun listen!

Jhon Duran shows his class and shows the touch of class he is learning in his post match interview too. A brilliant attacking performance from Villa mixed with some clangers in defence. Champions League Aston Villa are different gravy and Marco Rose and his comments ahead of the RB Leipzig game proved nothing but egg on his face in the end.

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.

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.

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?
