Advertise on podcast: 1874 - A show about Aston Villa

Dan Bardell hosts a review of the season with club correspondent Gregg Evans on The Athletic's podcast all about Aston Villa. A remarkable match on the final day of the Premier League saw Villa lead Manchester City by two goals only to concede three times inside six minutes. The frustration of that collapse mirrored the sense of disappointment that ran through most of our listener messages. Here's hoping for a more settled preparation and a positive start to the next campaign.

Dan Bardell celebrates the permanent signing of Philippe Coutinho with club correspondent Gregg Evans on The Athletic's podcast all about Aston Villa. At a reduced fee, and with a significant wage cut for the player, it looks like Villa's administrators have played a blinder, but is Barcelona's 50% share of a future transfer fee significant? Considering the ink was still fresh on that deal, and with a tribute to Villa's European Cup winners before kick-off, the performance against Palace, and the crowd, were strangely flat. What explains the muted atmosphere at Villa Park of late?

Dan Bardell hosts The Athletic's podcast all about Aston Villa with a special appearance from The Athletic's Senior Football Writer Oli Kay. It was a good week for Villa's men who won comfortably at Burnley before giving quadruple-chasing Liverpool a run for their money at Villa Park. And, while it was a disappointing result for the women's team in the second city derby, a record crowd saw off Anita Asante in style and there's hope that the Villans can add goals to their strong passing game next season.

Dan Bardell hosts a special edition of The Athletic's podcast all about Aston Villa FC with regular contributors, club correspondent Gregg Evans and Junior Editor Holly Percival, and an exclusive interview with the manager of Aston Villa Women, Carla Ward. Can Villa fans really justify disappointment with a 2-0 win, even if it was against the bottom side, and now relegated, Norwich City. Spoiler alert, we don't think so. Carla Ward has provided stability and drive to Aston Villa Women this season, but how high are they aiming next season, and can we expect significant reinforcements?

Dan Bardell hosts The Athletic's podcast all about Aston Villa with club correspondent Gregg Evans and Junior Editor Holly Percival. Villa's Men's and Women's teams both drew nil-nil at the weekend, but both results represented a step in the right direction. Jacob Ramsey signed a new contract with the club, a fair reward at the end of his breakthrough season. Meanwhile, his brother Aaron scored the first goal of his professional career (and there's a third Ramsey on the way in the shape of academy prospect Cole!).

Dan Bardell hosts The Athletic's podcast all about Aston Villa with club correspondent Gregg Evans and Junior Editor Holly Percival. Villa's men had a weekend off so we took the opportunity to have a little think about what we want to see from them for the rest of the season with help from Athletic subscribers. There are plenty of questions, primarily in midfield, but in the attacking third as well, and as the WSL season reaches its own endpoint, are Carla Ward's charges in a good position to improve next term?

Dan Bardell hosts The Athletic's podcast all about Aston Villa with club correspondent Gregg Evans and Junior Editor Holly Percival. Spurs' strikers put us to the sword at the weekend, while our attackers (especially the strikers) continued to misfire. As Villa Park emptied halfway through the second half, it felt like the end of the season couldn't come soon enough. Is there a shortage of leadership in the team, and what can Steven Gerrard and the club's backroom staff do to fix that? Will it be a significant factor in the club's transfer strategy this Summer?

Dan Bardell hosts The Athletic's podcast all about Aston Villa with club correspondent Gregg Evans. Yes, Global Gregg is back after three weeks away but, just when you thought we'd have a full complement, Holly Percival's entire neighbourhood suffered a catastrophic internet breakdown. On the agenda, cutting out the individual errors that are undermining the team's performances, and then putting the progress of the last few years into some perspective.

Dan Bardell hosts The Athletic's podcast all about Aston Villa with Junior Editor Holly Percival. It's been a good week for our international contingent with England goals for Mings, Watkins, and Ramsey, World Cup qualification for Matty Cash, and plenty more besides. And Gregg Evans has been conspicuous by his absence on recent podcasts but he did catch up with Shaun Maloney, who had some interesting things to say about his time at Villa.

Dan Bardell hosts The Athletic's podcast all about Aston Villa with Junior Editor Holly Percival and football writer Nick Miller. It was a beautiful day on Saturday, but the football at Villa Park failed to match the backdrop, certainly as far as the home side were concerned anyway. Dan and Holly reluctantly go over the ins and outs of defeat to Arsenal, and Nick Miller is on the line to tell us why he thinks Steven Gerrard could have thought twice before advising Bukayo Saka on toughness.

Dan Bardell hosts The Athletic's podcast all about Aston Villa with Junior Editor Holly Percival and North-East football journalist Dan Wales. Losing is never a good thing but the podcast team are in good spirits after Villa showed there isn't much difference in quality between themselves and Champions League hopefuls West Ham. Hannah Hampton almost earned the women's side a point against Chelsea, will she be courted by the league's bigger teams in the Summer? And with 18 year-old Filip Marschall doing well on loan at Gateshead, we speak to local journalist Dan Wales.

Dan Bardell hosts The Athletic's podcast all about Aston Villa with club correspondent Gregg Evans and tactics writer Mark Carey. Philippe Coutinho has really hit his stride with Villa now and he pulled the strings as Southampton were put to the sword. We talk about a potential permanent deal for the Brazilian and consider how his performance compares to some of Villa's greatest individual displays.
