I would recommend it. Weirdly never liked Max Stokes heard him as a guest on a few shows, no reason why, just don’t like listening to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Weirdly, because we have been doing so well, I’ve not really listened to many podcasts. I listen to Claret and Blue now and again and 1874 when Jacob is on - both for interesting tidbits from behind the scenes or after a presser. I used to listen to MOMs and The Villa Podcast quite a bit. The latter is great when things are going wrong as they always given an entertaining take on things and are not afraid to give their views. I found MOMs has changed quite a bit tbh. Become more downtrodden and holier than thou. A shame as it was my favourite pod at one point. Having been in the game myself, I just find everyone says the same things in a slightly different way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) Paddy on FTLOPM is probably my Favourite.....I just love it when he has a rant. Matt Kendrick ..claret & Blue, looks like we are lucky to have him on. Edited February 21 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend it. Love villa on tour. Watch the matchday vlogs religiously and all seem like great lads But weirdly I really don't like the podcast. They don't seem to offer much different to the others and feel like they're missing a trick in not talking enough about things like ticket allocations, transport, away fan experience etc etc. The last two get mentioned but I feel this should be their niche. There are 7 other pods I can listen to to hear about what happened on the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually feel like he's trolling at this point and it's like Dan can't see it. You can tell he doesn't watch villa anymore and knows that the fan base generally doesn't like him so he's just on the wind up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Claret and Blue is like the bread and butter podcast 7/10 and easy to listen to FTLOPM is great over the summer and when we're linked with players. Neil does great analysis and I loved the loan watch too. 1874 is good as I really like Dan and Jacob Tanswell is an exceptional reporter for Villa. The Villa Podcast is good the odd time for a laugh. Nordie Irish humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing weird about that - I personally find him tepid and lacking knowledge when listening to his analysis, but also absolutely despise his crew, having the unfortunate experience of spending approximately 20 minutes with them in Rennes last year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He offers some unique takes and his production is top notch. But lately his shows seem to be toeing the company line. It’s almost like he is angling for some favors from the club.

He doesn't seem to be well liked on here. Could it be Pete appeals more to the non-local fanbase like myself? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly is the view those across the water have on sports in general doesn't vibe too well with how we view sport. Then there's the fact you know his aim is completely financial as he was going to go to paetreon only for his show but assume when he saw the numbers they changed his mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your other points, but the last one is a little odd If he can make a living out of following Villa - fair play! Pretty niche if making money was your only aim - perhaps a big 6 club would have been a better choice. Seems a strange thing to judge him on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been talking up our chances of top 4 and how great the season is going despite our dip in form. Most people don't like him because despite his faults he is actually quite level headed and has enough connections in the game to get an accurate read on things. His lack of emotional investment and getting carried away puts people off. Bardell is similar (level headed most of the time) but does have the emotional investment obviously. If we lose a game its easier to listen to 1874 then to come on this forum IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) 1874 could easily be the best podcast around but it's getting left in the dirt. I used to watch 1874 every time in spite of what annoys me, but now, I load it up, 85% of the time it's Dan saying "not sure if we're live" or slagging off the producer or guest in some way as a reason for starting late, then he introduces Greg. By that point I'm completely out and the episode is off. The Square Ball is a good example of how to do football podcasts. Get everyone in the room and film it, the costs might be higher but the change in quality is immense and draws in worldwide audiences and a good percentage of fans of other clubs too. Think Claret and Blue podcast are going that way now and they're my favourites. I kind of wish Dan would lend his talents to that set up and go all in with them, just ditch 1874 completely. We've got some great talents and good podcasts but it's beyond saturation point and if some of them who are in it full time and within a close distance just met up daily to have a chat it would draw in much bigger audiences. Edit: Dan's mentioned he reads comments so if he ever sees this I want to be clear, Greg's the one who annoys me and brings the brand down and hats off to you for creating your own brand and podcast and making it full time in media. I just think working with other people would improve your product and help them get more out of theirs too. Edited February 22 by skarroki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkLillis Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 For what it’s worth here’s my top three. I just think it’s great that we can watch these things now.Much better than having to listen to TalkSPORT or Sky. 1.Claret and Blue - all of them are likeable and try to balance out their opinions. 2. 1874. - Dans good Greg is a bit disinterested in my opinion but knowledgable. 3. FTLOPMc - they know their stuff on here even better during the transfer window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
