Whether we disagree with his analysis I think doesn't really matter. For me the point of consuming this podcasts is to listen to different viewpoints, and gain some new insights. His is a proper show, a far superior in terms of quality of presentation to the rest of Villa YouTube podcasts and shows. I love Villa View, but Dolan and Ty Bracey are terrible (but can be entertaining). Utv podcast don't really watch as I don't find their opinions particularly nuanced. FTLOPM I like as their statistic based analysis and scout reports are informative. Paddy need to stop the Bailey hating though. Claret and Blue podcast are Birmingham mail produced so I'd rather not. Big fan of Neil and paddy, you should have a look at the villa park podcast, they have a fella on called Gareth cooper who’s heavy on data and tactics 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The saving grace for Claret and Blue podcast is Mat Kendrick. I find him hilarious in that brummie way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted April 19, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2023 My general go tos are Villa View, Claret & Blue and FTLOPM. Occasionally listen to MOMS too but generally only if we win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me though, you would be shocked to know the extremely random and varied fanbase we have around the world, I met quite a few out here during World Cup, and in Abu Dhabi. Koreans, Iraqis, Syrians, Saudis and so on, with the most random stories about how or why they became Villans. Ah man, that's beautiful. You can't have my **** ticket though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Townsend Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) There are some fantastic villa podcasts out there. I find Claret and Blue can be a little tuffy on occasion but they have produced some of my favourite content- JG, BL and MON interviews for a start. Just fantastic. I also like a bit of fusion and think the best combo of all would be Neil from FTLOPM mixed with Dan Bardell from TVV. The two of them just work really well when they appear together and I'm not sure why. Am surprised none of the various pods have had the idea of making an episode on the theme of certain big games: Inter Milan x 2, Tranmere, Athletico Madrid etc. Edited April 19, 2023 by Captain_Townsend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talldarkandransome Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I quite like this Canadian chap, he's not local but he's taken the time to get to know Villa. It's good that we have fans from abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that hard to take any other way than: "You've never been here, so you don't get it". Which irks, since I've never been to Villa Park - and, likely, I never will. Something I share in common with a LOT of posters here. I'm happy to offer a house swap with you. Your pay the flights and I'll buy your match ticket. Probably won't me much difference at the moment 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We locals are spoilt and inadvertently take it for granted at times. On thing I would like to see, is a contingency of The Ghanaian Villa Fans Rock up at Villa park and do their thing....can't wait for that day. Talk about motivation.....they are mind blowingly inspiring. One day, someone will stump up the money and bring them over, to a fan fare, I suspect. back to you Shaun, I sincerely hope in the near future you can make the pilgrimage to the mecca of football, where McGregor organised the foetus of the best league in the world. you have to do it, mate. There's a reason why Villa Park is the favourite ground of so many professional footballers and visiting supporters. It will be 150 yrs that we've been playing at this hallowed ground next year, that's some history, I sometimes think about, especially when I'm watching us, all them games and those great players that have graced that wonderful stadium. I love the fact that we have supporters all over the World, look at Prince William, it isn't some casual fondness he has for the club, he's emotionally invested like all Villa fans should be, and he's even got the little current bun hooked, which, as you know, is an obligation for all Villa Dads. It was brilliant seeing the Prince and Carew embraced in joy when we got promoted."We are the chosen few" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok! I was there in 74 for the centenary, we played that dirty Leeds side from the seventies. I remember the players kicking mitre casers into the crowd. That was the beginning of the great Saunders reign. Such a privilege to have witnessed us winning trophies. I sometimes think "what if", had he not resigned. Another terrible Doug decision.

You may well be right, but I'm sure Doug was making noises in the background, he was certainly chairman when Tony Barton was in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
