  • 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, Mat, and others. They are informed, thoughtful, funny, and passionate about what they do. And I loved the joy in Dan and Mat’s post match after Buendia beat Arsenal :) Up the Claret and Blue Podcast!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Villa's transfer strategy, Onana’s personality & the madness of Man United and Chelsea
Q: How will the chaos at Man United and Chelsea help or hinder us?
The chaos at both clubs is seen as a positive for Villa, which is currently settled under Emery, allowing Villa to potentially capitalize on the instability of their rivals.

Q: What expectations do we have for Rory Wilson?
The expectations are for him to gain experience in men's football, possibly through a loan. His potential as a long-term replacement for Watkins remains uncertain due to his injuries and performance at the academy level.
Dean Smith's FIRST EVER Aston Villa podcast
Q: What do you think about the death stare from Jed Steyer on a Mason Hull guy?
I'm never too sure whether that's just a camera angle or not because that's not in Jed's nature.

Q: How was that meeting with Christian Pozlo and Sue Sollar then at the Hyatt Hotel?
It was in a room, and it was a discussion mainly about football, what I could bring, and how it would look.

Q: Did you know we were going to win that day?
Yes, in my head at that time, if we played Derby on a neutral ground 100 times, we were probably beating 95, 96 times.
