The_Rev Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Really enjoying a lot of The Athletic's podcasts. The Villa one isn't great, I remain unconvinced by Gregg Evans to say anything interesting editorially, he seems to be an interviews guy first and foremost but some of the other stuff they do is top notch. Ornstein & Chapman appears to be the flagship show, and rightly so as it's fantastic. It's a general news show with a lot of inside info and a refreshing change of pace from the twattishness of Robbie Savage and co. Really recommend listening to this week's episode about Manchester City vs FFP if you've not heard it yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's crap. Him being THE Villa guy for them is one of the reasons I haven't got past the free trial for the Athletic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 The Villa View is my go to for podcasts - started on the old spotify with the Athetlc one, listened to the last 3 but it is so dry. Gregg Evans has the personality of an dish cloth. No banter, no fun, nothing interesting or insightful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I think MOMS is still the best Villa pod by a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the end of the Barcelona game last night on BT sprots then after FT they started saying how Chelsea were demolished getting their biggest ever home loss in Europe, I thought it was gonna be something like 6-0 when they finally got to the score. 3-0 was a bit underwhelming.

Exactly, on the sky app the headline originally was " Chelsea slump to Bayern rout" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Got to agree, 3-0 is a 'comfortable win', not a 'rout'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 What if it had ended 0-4? Fwiw the Bayern performance was absolutely dominant. 0-3 is extremely flattering to Chelsea who were wide open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely 6, probably 5, definitely not 3 or 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted March 1, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted March 1, 2020 Villa will be hoping to carve out one more chance for Samatta, who's not on the pitch anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC that was Martin Tyler who said it as Keinan Davis received the ball ? Lovely bloke - met him loads of times at VP during my days as a corporate hospitality door man, proper luvvie......but i think it might be time for him to retire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Martin Keown... you can tell he only knows about the premier league. Every time Murphy gets the ball for Shef Wed, “well we know all about him from the premier league” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Stuart Pearce gets paid for expert analysis like these gems from he's commentary tonight for talkshite "Derby need to score to get back into the game "On balance derby have been the better side but United have just shaded it" "Ighalo isn't that sort of natural finisher, but give him half a chance and hes a player that scores" And the amount of times he says "In and around" Edited March 5, 2020 by Jimzk5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
