Underwhelming & Inconsistent: The Season in Review

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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Coutinho Deal: Villa Push it Good

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? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Gerrard's Men Finding Form & Record WSL Crowd

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.

Carla Ward Exclusive

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? Learn more about your ad choices.

Clean Sheets Mark Progress

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!). Learn more about your ad choices.

Pause for Thought: What Next?

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?

Does the Team Need More Leaders?

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?

Mauled by Wolves: Part 2

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.

Good stuff. Ive been keeping up with Dan Bardell’s work for years. Good place to go for a professional sounding opinion that doesn’t neglect the fan’s perspective either.
Great Villa podcast
