2024/04/12

Husband and wife team Rupert and Verna discuss a very entertaining Euro conference Quarter final against an excellent Lille team. Some super stars - Martinez 10, Watkins 9 with Mcginn and Bailey always threatening and 8s.The dynamic and exciting forwards who seem to always score are mirrored by increasingly incompetent defence- another woeful performance from Diego Carlos, Konsa picked on by Lille and Pau inaccurate and unsolid. Say it quietly Douggie Luiz also been tired and out of sorts for over

Total control from Villa - Emery masterclass

2024/04/03

Husband and wife team Rupert and Verna discuss Villa's comfortable win against Wolves. Could this be Emery's favourite game? After the first 20 minutes - and the one chance for the dogheads - it was total control from the Villa Boys. It was an masterclass from the students of the Unai-versity. This was a win for undesirables, the cast offs, the scapegoats, the unwashed and the unloved - the squad that people didn't believe we had come in and on to win the game.

2024/02/03

Husband and wife Team Rupert and Verna lament that their beloved Aston Villa are officially now in slump - its not a blip, they re not tired, yes there are even more injuries but we have to admit the last 9/10 games have been poor with only Martinez in consistent form. They discuss the game, the goals, the team selection, Diaby, Pau Torres and why Emery appears to being out coached and how we might break out of this potentially very damaging period. But look we are still miles ahead of target

Husband and wife Team Rupert and Verna decide not to discuss the Houthis attacks on ships in the Red Sea or Serena Williams recommending breast milk to help with sunburn, instead they would choose to talk about the scrappy, ugly, disjointed nil nil for Villa away at Everton. They discuss: David Coote - the worst of a very poor bunch The disallowed goal and McPhee deserves a bigger bonus Diaby/Mcginn/Luiz out of form Why playing Konsa at RB makes us more predictable Watkins/Moreno/Kamara and Martinez

2024/01/01

Husband and wife team Verna and Rupert (and Napo the dog) discuss the significance of the scruffy win against Burnley. How 4 points from 9 over Christmas is so much better than just 2; look how the Arsenal fans feel after their disappointing Christmas. That momentum is still with this team. They disagree about the media's obsession with how tired all the teams are and it could be that some players are just out of form. Verna marvels about Bailey/Watkins performances and the crazy horse cameo from

Husband and wife team Verna and Rupert get annoyed with Villa's capitulation at Old Trafford. Was it tiredness, out of form players or Emery not being pragmatic? They agree that Emery's lack of game management and flexibility during the game finally cost Villa. Does Villa best coach ever have a flaw - the inability to change from the press/high line. Where has last years pragmatism and 6 man defence when leading gone. Roll on Burnley - we need 3 points to get Christmas back on track

Husband and wife team Rupert and Verna discuss the eventually successful but extremely strange win at Brentford. Lots of patient sideways passing which seemed to be missing some creative force.

Verna hates Villa winning in this boring fashion and wants Man City win every week. Can Villa be No1 for Christmas? Jingle bells Jingles Bells. And then a long discussion, of course,

90TH MINUTE EQUALISER RESCUES A POINT

2023/12/04

Husband and wife Team Rupert and Verna discuss another point gained away from home, but another strange performance. Perhaps VaR and a definite sending off not going our way reduced our best spell. Martinez saves 3 times to keep Villa in the game. A wonderful equaliser from the lethal Watkins (even Verna accepting he is now at a different level). Zaniolo now a real problem. The Battle of the Basque Managers is drawn but both should be arrested by the fashion police!!!

The away day blues continue, with now our third loss and some very poor performances - Houston we have problem! Scores for the players historically low for an Emery team - some 1s and 2s dished out.

Husband and wife Rupert and Verna discuss the convincing win over limp Luton. Professional, convincing Villa make light work of the Hatters playing only in 3rd gear. Are Villa fans greedy, three goals not enough against woeful Luton? How can 3 or 4. 1 be a hammering when we have recently scored 6 against Brighton? Verna notices the "tell" from Dougie Luiz for the Austin Mcfee masterclass free kick for 1.nil. Rupert apologises for suggesting that Mcfee was a fool. Rupert ends the pod forgetting who
