Dougie who?
John reminding me of the white cop on National Security here 😂
Philogene can warm up through the cups
John don't like his carbs and fat combination!
I’ve seen footballers do worse than what Duran did. Emery was angry because it was the second time he was asked. No one else has a go at the other shithousers in the game.
Bidace starts at Wycombe, simple
Q. Why don't they announce the attendance at Villa Park anymore?
Cheers Keith
League cup win by Dean Smith & Jack Grealish 2020
John and his cuisine issues when travelling abroad. It's a little bit like having a Karl Pilkington Mk 2
i bet Jon only ate chicken nuggets and chips as a kid and refused anything else hahaha
Haggis neeps and tatties. Is haggis, turnip, and mash potatoes
Nips are mashed turnips.
Give tielemans ,mcphee and Duran new contracts.asap!!!
Were the club justified in delaying the north stand rebuild? They did bank on us getting to the champions league, plus imagine the price the tickets would be if we had even less seats. Additionally, has there been an update on this building work as it’s due to be finished by the next euros?
i loved ash, but john being the villa correspondent is great for the podcast, he’s passionate and knowledgeable and speaks well. plus you can see he’s living his dream job. it all goes great for the content.
great show as always lads. being a villa fan that’s moved abroad your coverage is very much appreciated
Mcginn is the only player that has to start in the midfield. Everyone else is rotatable and will do the job
league cup wise, you would sitll have had to beat whoever city had bumped out the cup in the semis, not the same as coming second by 1-2 points in teh league. Also, are we building a hotel so that we can sell it to ourselves?
Milton’s got the tism for aure
He has been incredible
Philogene doesn’t look confident enough, still not ready for the level of this Villa team at the moment
Is there a world where Kamara plays at RB for us?
All this talk about international food. I think John should ask Unai the following question at his next presser : Martinez cook Empanades for you. Torres cooks Paella for you. Tielemans gets some Belgian chocolate for you. McGinn cooks haggis, neeps and tatties for you. Bailey cooks curried goat for you. Watkins cooks toad in the hole for you. Who is most likely to be the 1st name on your teamsheet?
pasta carbonara?
PUYOL
What did john do to annoy unai? Didn't look or sound happy during the watkins question 😂
Re: Bogarde – fan opinions. I acknowledge that this isn't similar in context at all to any criticism faced by Bogarde but I have noticed how Bogarde is drawing some intense criticism of late.
And I wanted to call out how absolutely disgusted I've been by the Spurs fan base who have abused Brennan on socials.
I mention only because its important we keep in mind that there is a massive difference between constructive criticism vs an abusive irrational pile on botth on the socials and in thee stadium.
We need to keep in mind that no player, especially a young player goes out to play badly and we fans in my opinion have a responsibility to be balanced in our criticism of players especially these young players who are still learning their craft.
Sorry for the rant I just needed to get it off my chest after seeing how terrified Brennan looked as Son virtually pushed him towards their Away fans the other night to take their appreciation for the late winner 🙄
With roughly £80 million in extra revenue this year from our improvement in sponsorship deals,kit manufacturers & champions league football & actually lowering our wage bill abit with Moussa Diaby & Douglas Luiz being sold,some players going out on loan & their replacements being on lower wages & having a net spend this summer transfer window of £0,why would we be in a position where we're forced to sell one or more of our best players? We should be in a better place financially after this season & i believe we should be able to strengthen & not sell players we need & to add more quality to our squad,i don't get that really John & we certainly don't want to sell Jhon Duran,as he can be our number 1 striker moving forward & Ollie Watkins 29 years old on his next birthday,it would make more sense to sell Watkins in a year or two while he can still fetch big money & buy a younger backup for Duran,after we got our accounts straight for the June 30th deadline i was expecting abit more in this summer transfer window tbh,but with sales covering our buys we actually spent nothing at all,so you saying we might need to sell top players is based on what? Am i missing something? ….. up the mighty Villa!!! ⚽💣💥🤔??
The League Cup would definitely count, we would have been the last "legal" team left in the competition. UTV.
wtf 2 mins of bullshit ads before vid even comes up
John Townley's Food Odyssey 🙂
I haven't noticed the subs in a long time. 18k subs. Congrats folks. Did you get your Bronze Youtube play button, who keeps that 🙂 ?
the adverts are a joke over 2 mins before it started and 3 mins of adverts that can’t be skipped in the middle
"I don`t like cheese"- Townley.- Classic.
