The Villa View

After what feel like weeks we've finally revealed our new logo and rebranding. With a massive thanks to @TheHolteTweets on Twitter and Michael Scrivens from towerandcrane.com we have a professional looking new logo, cover art and a video intro. 

It's something we're immensely proud of and an image that we're really happy to represent our work. The lion's mane is shaped to resemble that of a speech bubble to reflect our opinion based content. 

See the full reveal here:

Matt and Dan return together for another episode as they give you all the facts about Leeds, Newcastle, Norwich and Notts Forest.

Whilst Matt is still in Portugal, Dan took over today's episode to bring you another 4 teams from the Championship. Today we give you the facts you need to know about Brighton, Bristol, Burton and Cardiff.

Please excuse the technical difficulties in this video, as Matt Lynch and Dan Bardell are joined by Jack Crawford and Ben Hobson, to talk all things AVFC

In light of today's official confirmation that Aston Villa fans will have to pay £42 (!) to see their team at Hillsborough on the opening day, Matt Lynch fired up his camera to voice his thoughts. The prices are spiralling out of control and £42 for a Championship ticket is simply unacceptable. 

The classic discussion show returned today as Dan and Matt were joined by Daniel Raza and Reece Lloyd. Topics included the Austrian Pre Season Camp, Jack Grealish and Stan Petrov.

This evening we experimented with a live stream! Matt Lynch took to Google Hangouts to answer YOUR questions on all things #avfc 

You can see it here: 

We've put the kettle on and we're back with another video. Here's all you need to know about Aaron Tshibola in the time it takes me, to make a cup of tea.

You'll often see fan channels do a video about new transfers. "ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW IN 60 SECONDS"

We like this idea but wanted to make it our own. We started the idea by finding a name and as a bit of a joke picked 'Tea Brew' - "What if we gave the stats and figures in the time it took to make a cup of tea, that's roughly a minute"

And here we are.

All you need to know about Pierluigi Gollini in the time it takes me, to make a cup of tea.

For now though, Dan Bardell and Matt Lynch are in competition! They go head to head in the first of a 5 part quiz series. The two guys picked a specialist subject each, in this video they answer questions about the 2007-2008 season, and the John Gregory Era. Check out who won, in the video below.

Matt suggests 5 players that we think Roberto Di Matteo should be looking to sign this summer. Let us know if you agree or disagree with any of the names put forward.
