Now they're basically the online version of the free rag you used to deliver when you were 12 (but you just threw them in the bushes instead). I get they need ad revenue but the site is unusable. You can use the reader view if using a phone etc as this cuts out a lot of the chaff, you have a better chance of reading the article without the other distractions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOMS (who i'm not keen on), max stokes, for the love of paul mcgrath, the canadian bloke...the villa park podcast is decent too. it's a sensible decision to make it more of a journalistic show, bringing journos on the show etc. and by doing so, it might improve the way we're being talked about by the media too Yeah, I think it's a good decision overall. If anything, it might actually give more space to other fan channels; for instance, if I wanted to know what eg Neil thought of something, I often wouldn't watch his podcasts because I could be confident I'd hear his opinion on TVV shortly anyway. This might push people more towards sampling a wider range of content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know anything about him? My brother is a Southampton fan. He really rates Tanswell, and will probably cancel his subscription with the Athletic since he is leaving and coverage will be reduced considerably.

StewieGriffin Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Good article from him already on how we win fouls/free kicks and use them Quote https://theathletic.com/4688791/2023/07/21/aston-villa-fouls-control/ Paywall, but if you know how to work around it (ahem, disable Javascript and refresh, ahem) then it's a decent read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich192 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I’m tempted to get a subscription again, now that it’s no longer Evans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf to Dan, he represents us well and talks sense. I like it when someone “sticks up” for the club & fanbase and puts people right… not a lot of people in the media actually have much of a clue of how the club work, what we’re doing and where we’re headed… A does it a lot better than Gabby does anyway… Always happy to go under the radar and shock everyone though… all the more satisfying.

Don_Simon Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) Having listened to the recent Claret and Blue podcast with Dan Bardell... 1. Hi Dan's dad who often reads Villa Talk for comments on his son. 2. So happy he's keeping the Villa View. Doesn't need it anymore but keeps it going because he loves talking about the Villa. I really recommend listening to the pod, he's had quite the journey, great to see him excelling in his field now. 3. So glad we're not in the Championship losing at home to Barnsley anymore.

We spent a good 30/45 minutes the other week talking about the changes to TVV. I think it’s a great move personally and will move the channel on to another level. Whilst myself, Neil and Ty loved shooting the shit with him. We all were doing it as mates helping out and I think TVV was getting lost in the muddle of all the other podcasts on YouTube. Having the likes of Kevin Hatchard etc will help elevate the channel. For nostalgia reasons it will be sad not to see the old make up of the channel but things move on. The podcast scene has moved on in general. Neil brings a level of analysis and research that wasn’t there previously. UTV podcast replace the ‘for the fans podcast’ vibe. The Villa Filler are a good one that goes under the radar. Likewise The Villa Park Podcast. MOMS is MOMs and the Villa Podcast is probably my favourite at the moment. Claret and Blue are more of a media podcast and I think are probably the best of the lot imo at the moment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wurzel Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Just been watching the 1874 podcast on YouTube. Dan is great, but Gregg Evans sucks all the enthusiasm from me. I'm also not sure he knows as much as he makes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvilla28 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Still rate UTV podcast one of the best Luke says it how it is. Villa Filler is good to not long but straight to the point and informative. Neil's podcast on player analysis is another level to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you mate. Unsure at this stage as it would mean bringing back my podcast and tbh it became a chore towards the end and not enjoyable. Plus when we first started there was a lack of Villa pods and now there's plenty! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg has apparently been promoted and writing more about Liverpool. But will still dip in on us from time to time. But I'm very pleased, dislike his condescending attitude towards the club and lacks insight beyond all of those on VT know.

Gregg in last 1874 giving a lot of credit to Gerrard still (probably overweighting his influence in signings). Baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
