There’s bound to be some piece around a loss of form (they’re out of form!). The immediacy after the game was about how brilliant Aston Villa were. A pundit on a podcast I listen to said it was the best they have ever seen Villa play. There wasn’t much said about Man City being bad - it was almost entirely how good we were. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not going to waste my time to look for his piece of journalism - I am defo half glass empty, but his above statement fill me with a bit of confidence as there is no way PW will take charge of any Villa game, so by default, the latter is more likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HongKongVillan Posted December 11, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 11, 2023 I normally quite like listening the the guardian football weekly, as it is probably the more balanced of any football views out there in the media outlet, even though they would ignore us most of the time which I am fine with, at least they are not talking random shits about our high lines or whatever. And I know this dude Jordan Jarrett-Bryan hates us for apparently, no reason. But listened to him talking about us this week is an absolute new low on that podcast. It felt like us being third, beating both man city and arse in the process is a complete travesty. The man needs to get a grip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man needs to get a grip He's a big Arsenal fan, who started belittling Villa back in 2020 and gets a lot of abuse from our fans as a result. He seems to take personal insult when Villa do well or receive any praise. Quite enjoyed the other members of the pod balancing out his ridiculous negativity by being full of praise for us though. I'd love it if we are top at New Year and he has to admit we're in the title race! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love it if we are top at New Year and he has to admit we're in the title race! From memory, he said he'd rather have Arteta as a manager than Dean Smith (when Arsenal were struggling and we weren't) and then got a load of abuse from Villa fans on Twitter. I can only go by what he says on the pod, but he definitely doesn't like "our" fans on Twitter . The rest of it is pantomime stuff, though. He goes over the top on the negative aspect deliberately.

It's not the fact that it's villa that annoys me, I just don't know who it's for. Who is enjoying listening to his fake hatred of villa? It completely derails the podcast. This week was mostly just the, laughing at him. His only analysis was that the goal was good but McGinn is overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's quite funny, but it does then ruin the podcast. You don't get any intelligent discussion about the game. The football ramble this week was a million times better regarding the analysis of our game, and they're only semi serious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyeddie Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 There is a lot of shit floating about in the media, but one great programme is the 2 Robbies (just got the pun).

He’s so awful to listen to, the way he says ‘listen’ all the time, he sounds like Gerrard.
