The Dwight Yorke episode was fantastic. It's totally my age, Dwight was in his pomp during my teenage years when I was obsessed by football and walks into the starting XI of the best Villa player's I've ever seen (lets say late 80s onwards) so it was a delight to hear from him. I'd loved to have heard a bit more about specific favourite goals, if only so you'd talk about the one against Forest in 91/92 where a teenage Dwight Yorke put their left back on his arse with a shimmy that Leo Messi would have been proud of: Ah mate that's made my day - I didn't realise you were such a big fan of the show. I was actually going to ask him about his favourite goal after talking about his favourite memory but he was rushing off somewhere so we had to push on with the last bit of the interview. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Just listened to the Crystal Palace review. Enjoying the sober analysis from Jugsy and Chadsy and helps differentiate the podcast from a few others where the guests tend to be more emotional in their analysis. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also what I love. It’s not reactionary, really fair, they make solid points that make me think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlights from latest ep: • Baggies made Villa look good • Mings is banned for Crystal Palace match • Luiz happy to sit back and let everyone else play. This after a game when the shackles were off and he was further forward than any game this season. Plus he spent most of last season saying he wasn't good enough and Hourihane was better. So so bad. He is a joke, should have his journalist credentials revoked and Is why i will never subscribe to the Athletic. He was on a Tifo podcast recently about Villa and I have never before heard somebody so out of there depth. Was embarrassing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Rod Humble is a Villa fan? Excuse my “when worlds unexpectedly collide” face but I’d always just figured he was American. I’m only 20 minutes or so in so this may have been covered by the end, but there’s another video game guy in San Francisco called Colin Campbellwho is a big Villa fan, he’s no stranger to podcasts so perhaps you can tap him up some time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post VBM Posted January 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2021 Credit where it is due Omar and team, this is a real quality podcast. The best one out there IMO. Normally these things take a while to get up to standard but this has been first class since first episode. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishVillain Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Couldn't agree more with the post above. I hadn't tuned in until recently as I generally have low expectations for brand new podcasts, but the quality of Villa Talks has a been a pleasant surprise. You guys speak so clearly and insightfully, while avoiding tossing around the cliché football remarks that you hear constantly on the other pods. Keep up the great work lads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post omariqy Posted January 13, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) Wow thanks @VBM and @IrishVillain it means a lot to hear you guys say that. Taken a bit of a break from the pod this week but we will be back with our next guest Darryl Mitchell, former captain of Worcestershire CC.

The_Rev Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I had an early (5am!) start today and put the podcast on in the car and it turns out I was so furious at the result I had to turn it off again just as I was driving past Villa Park.

It's Your Round Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Just finished this last episode, another quality discussion as they all are. I have to say that I agree with Siri when he interrupted in the first minute, I don’t understand how we lost either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosopher Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Podcast 36 is the first Villa Talks podcast where I have been disappointed with the analysis. Simply put if you score 2 goals away from home you should be winning! Not taking your chances should never be the main talking point in this situation. The main talking point should be the conceding of sloppy goals. First goal 2 errors. The first was Mings trying to shepherd the ball out with Wood on his back. Should have cleared for a throw in. The second was not one of our centre backs anywhere near their centre backs or the ball on a corner! Second goal fluke and sloppy, too easy for McNeil to get that shoot / cross out (same for third goal), and on the third goal why was wood allowed a free header? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Was a nice change of pace to have a straight after the result reaction. Although I do usually benefit from the calm, voice of reason next day approach to cheer me up the next day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
