    Decent content…
    …but small team mentality. Know your betters.
  • 😁😁😁😁😁😬😬
    Good Show
    Always a good listen, grew up in Aldridge, moved over to the US in 1982, gave up my European Cup final ticket to fly to the states ☹️. Spent many a game standing in the Holte end.

    Brings Villa to America
    Love this pod. A weekly must. Brings Villa football news and culture to America. Top drawer!
  • Learn listen
    A must for Villa supporters!
    An excellent podcast and all I need to keep up with everything Villa! The best thing about it is the people. I enjoy spending my time with Dan, John, Matt, and others. They are informed, thoughtful, funny, and passionate about what they do. Up the Claret and Blue Podcast!

    UTV!!
    One of the best podcasts on Aston Villa! Multiple episodes a week to get my fix with great coverage. Love the show, keep it up! Supporting from Austin,Texas.
  • Holte Ender
    Effervescent enthusiasm
    The hosts of this podcast has the right balance of game analysis and humorous banter that mimics what you’d get with your mates at the pub after the game - if you weren’t in lockdown, or an expat (like me) living in the God forsaken USA.
  • Huddyy22.10
    Lovely show
    20+ 5 star reviews should convince any Villa fan to give the show a listen, but if that alone won’t do it I hope this extra encouragement will. It’s just about everything that a club specific podcast could hope for, really appreciate the hard work gents. Cheers from Texas, UTV!

    Invested
    These boys are invested in the villans. Fun to listen to and super responsive on Twitter and YouTube. Always laughing during the cast. Rolinson is a definite favorite.
  • maddenturboset
    Best AVFC Pod!
    The camaraderie amongst these lads is real!
  • Samewells
    Great pod but....
    Honestly I like this pod and the hosts do a great job. The reason it’s a 3/5 is for the quality of the audio. Fix this and you’ve got me forever. Ha. Up the Villa!
