NEW LOGO REVEALED!

After what feel like weeks we've finally revealed our new logo and rebranding. With a massive thanks to @TheHolteTweets on Twitter and Michael Scrivens from towerandcrane.com we have a professional looking new logo, cover art and a video intro.  It's something we're immensely proud of and an image that we're really happy to represent our work. The lion's mane is shaped to resemble that of a speech bubble to reflect our opinion based content.  See the full reveal here:

Aston Villa Review: Episode 157 - the Championship season begins

It's been a minute but we're back. Yes, plenty has happened since our last show but we needed a break after four brutal years or we might not have even made it into this coming season. It all begins on Saturday, with Aston Villa's Football League Championship kick-off taking place at Hillsborough on Sunday afternoon. In this week's Aston Villa Review we have a quick preview chat about that game against Sheffield Wednesday and recap the club's summer dealings, welcome the new coaching staff and

Player Match Ratings: New season same Villa?

This was admittedly only a friendly but this game gave little cause for optimism for the season that is ahead of us. This performance was uncomfortably similar to many of the displays that we gave last season and those around me were openly questioning what differences there actually has been on the pitch itself rather than off it. We had the best of the game until they hit their equalizer on the hour mark. But our defence suddenly looked shaky as it had done more often than not last season

VIDEO | Championship ticket prices are a disgrace!

In light of today's official confirmation that Aston Villa fans will have to pay £42 (!) to see their team at Hillsborough on the opening day, Matt Lynch fired up his camera to voice his thoughts. The prices are spiralling out of control and £42 for a Championship ticket is simply unacceptable.

VIDEO | The Villa View Tea Brew!

You'll often see fan channels do a video about new transfers. "ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW IN 60 SECONDS" We like this idea but wanted to make it our own. We started the idea by finding a name and as a bit of a joke picked 'Tea Brew' - "What if we gave the stats and figures in the time it took to make a cup of tea, that's roughly a minute" And here we are. All you need to know about Pierluigi Gollini in the time it takes me, to make a cup of tea.

The Squad That Failed: Goalkeeper Review

This is an ongoing blog which will look at each area of Aston Villa’s squad of players that are contracted to the club at the end of the 2016 season. The first post will go through all the Goalkeepers at the club, looking at whether the club should attempt to keep them on, or try to offload them out of the club. After a season of failure, following years of near misses, it is easy to suggest that the entire squad should be ripped up, so the aim is to look objectively at every player. 1 - Br

      Thomas Tuchel - England Manager

      Of course Smith is good enough. Well actually, depends what your requirements are. Is he a better manager than Tuchel? Obviously not. Is he a better manager than Southgate? Obviously yes.

      Yes but his xG let 90 is at 1.0 so if he scored at the expected rate he'd get a goal every 90 mins. If that was over a season of regular starts at that rate it's Haaland level 30+ In reality he's going to be lower xG probably in the 0.6 to 0.7 and outscore his xG (due to being an elite goal scorer). So he'll score 0.7 to 0.8 goals per 90 so an over 20 goals a season player

      Wants more than double what any academy player has ever been paid and more than some players in first team got when they signed first team contracts. As I said. It's about money and he's going to leave for Europe to get it. Article in Athletic about him and the wage demands.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5833315/2024/10/18/rory-wilson-aston-villa-transfer/

      I'm not sure why it would be unsustainable. It's not HIS xG. It's an average xG of all players with chances in all those positions. It seems like you're saying that he has been lucky to score low xG chances and that is not something we can rely on, when really he has just shown an incredible ability to score against the odds.

      I can answer that for you - the high-profile ex players at the coaching courses I've taken were on a jolly-up, held to a lower standard, and rarely actually had to prove any sort of actual coaching prowess.  The course instructors would big them up while quite a few were genuinely star-struck by the mere presence of them in the course.  The whole concept of requiring coaching badges to get jobs has done nothing to change the old boys club getting favours and jobs over better qualified candidates.  I would cringe during evaluation sessions as ex-pros would sail through with high praise for putting on a crap session, while the same level of session would be absolutely slaughtered when put on by a no-name candidate. Foreign coaches are judged on their ability to coach.  With a few exceptions, who-you-know/who-you-are is still the more prevalent "qualification" in the English game....

      Villa Park redevelopment

      Yeah, not sure how much the prices are individually where I am in A8 Upper Trinity but I'd imagine I'm saving a fortune paying £640 for the season.

      Just amused me you randomly brought him up along with Richards (which was a great example as he'd just burst into laughter if he ever attempted a serious team talk) as I had no idea what he was doing either so looked it up. Perhaps he will be one who does make it as seems to be the best coaches generally are ones who's careers are cut short by injury in their 20s and so they have years to study and formulate their style rather than just being parachuted into a job six months after they retire. Wilshere's top level career was done by age of 28 and then he retired at 30 so Norwich is a decent enough club to eventually get chance at. Tom Cleverley is doing o.k at Watford and Carrick will probably be the next big hope for domestic candidates as I think Boro will be pretty close to promotion this season.

      Thomas Tuchel - England Manager

      By foreveryoung · Posted

      We tried what we thought was a progressive English manager. His name is Gareth Southgate.  We should be happy we can attract managers like Tuchel, who has won big honours. I mean there's not too many international teams who could take Tuchel.

      We actually had six English players start the Man. United game (if you count Cash). Ramsey also a regular when fit. Man. City and Arsenal regularly have 3-4 English players starting. I don't think it's as big an issue as made out. England always had a problem in different eras they're overflowing in certain areas (attacking midfield) but hardly anything at LB currently which is pretty embarrassing. If you look at most NTs now they all barely have any decent picks at CF. Morata compared to Torres/David Villa 15 years ago is a serious downgrade and look at what Italy put out there. England will go the same way post Kane but that's simply a consequence of 4-2-3-1 becoming the dominant formation in the premier league in the 2010s.
