What a time to be a Villa-fan. So much happening at the club, and Norwegian Lions will get together for the weekends clash against Arsenal. Good vecation! And as always… Up the Mighty Villa! 🤫💜💙
Onana was so commanding in midfield. What a signing. Exactly what we need. Great to see some combinations already starting to click. Just need to be more clinical with our chances and a bit more heads up to pass to players in better scoring positions. When that starts to happen. What out Premier League! UTMV!
Onana was great. Duran is such a high risk/reward player, I’m still not sure if his toxicity is worth it but we’ll see if he continues to shut up skeptics like myself
Pete - I have avidly watched your show for the last couple of years. They always say you can judge a person by the friends they have. Well, I have just met Steve and Trish, friends of yours on a tour of the Vatican. They were great people. They took a photo of us and my son, with a pic of you on a phone! Keep up the great work. Tim
Gestede was 2015/2016 😊 thanks for the best villa show on youtube! We meet randomly at the villa store at villa park the day before the Newcastle 3-0 win in april 2023 :) cheers from Sweden
Great show as ever mate, always look forward to it. Love the fact even though you now have two sponsors the flow of the show isn't interrupted , long may it continue !
Could have had 4 in the first half. Onana is a serious baller. No midfielder looks good in a Sean Dyche side. Onana is allowed to play his natural game. Watch him this season. Duran's goal was an all left footed affair- Pau, Maatsen, JJ, Duran- goal. Maatsen's little flick❤. I think Onana will be our 8 when Kamara is back.
Welcome back to the new season Peter. A cracking fix this morning whilst I work watching the Holy Trinity Show. I bet your itching to return to Villa park for your annual visit Come on !! 💜🩵
So many positives from Saturday but a real stand out for me was Maatsen. Kudus was really tearing us apart in the second half, as soon as Maatsen came on there was no more threat from Kudus. Oh! And he got a pre assist.
I think Pau has put Duran under his wing , I saw Pau put his arm around him a few times after the final whistle speaking in his ear. Something to keep an eye on .
The win was brilliant that will fill the team with much needed confidence the Lads need to take on Arsenal. I am so excited in where this team is placed and what can you say about our Manager, what a man, what a coach. This team can seriously reach for the stars. I am absolutely buzzing. Another Rolls Royce pod Pete, you the man👍 And on that note .... UP THE MIGHTY VILLA🦁🏆👍
It will cement the clubs vision if we get the win against Arsenal. Can't see why we shouldn't either after the teams performance against the Hammers. I think we look good. Great show as always. Utmv
Pundits have obviously been told to dial back their responses, as you suggested, Pete. Co commentator Smith was definite it wasn’t a penalty when it happened. After half time he brought up a different view immediately. He’d so obviously been wrapped on the knuckles and told what to say, it was just so obvious. Also the tv pundits at half time were saying exactly the same (strange) viewpoint because Sky had dictated it. Sky’s dirty match managing at work again. So maddening!
Onana looks like the next botange an we've missed that ever since he left if onana can be that disaplined an sacrifice his own game for the team it's luiz who ,an what a player we've got
As Villa fan 40yrs +!! I saw this as a real tough test and gauge of this season! Honestly, I was expecting a 2-2 draw! A loss, and I'd predict 10 - 7th Prem place with Champs League n multiple Cups load! A draw, Id have hopes of 7-5th Prem place. An amazing controlled win! WOW! I'm beginning to believe we can win a domestic cup, reach the Quarters/ Semi Champs League (with a bit of luck!) AND still make Top 4 Prem again! But seriously, I think we have the prem ending we expecting last year....6th! Hope Villains enjoy this season crazy ride n don't get too upset or panic if we don't finish top 4, or win a domestic cup,for get knocked out Champs League earlier than we hoped! REMEMBER Villains:! Unai only usually win a Trophy / Euro Trophy at Clubs in his 3rd Year! We"ll have a great exciting up n down season.......but my prediction is that it's only next year Unai will bring a Trophy to Villa park! What trophy I don't know....... Carabao Cup? F.A Cup?.....but Knowing Unai......Villa will probably win Europa Cup NEXT season! And I for one think that would be Amazing!!! 😮😂👍🙏
The penalty wasn’t that much of a disgrace. Very much in the referee’s call grey area and I’m fine with that. With any decision, I try to flip it and think what I’d say if the teams were reversed. This one took me back to us beating Birmingham City 1-0 with a Milner penalty. That day, Roger Johnson “got the ball” when he tackled Agbonlahor in the area and I thought it was still a penalty because his touch didn’t actually dispossess Gabby and he continued to clip him. In this case, I don’t think Cash “dispossessed” Soucek so I can’t think Gabby’s was a penalty and this one wasn’t. Great show and great win
We didn't concede a penalty for the first 30 odd games last season. Had VAR been allowed to intervene on the Cash incident, I'm confident it would have been overruled. Time will tell on VAR this season. The proposals on changes might seem good on paper. Not sure based on this about the reality.
Its defintely NOT Andre mate Its "Tarantul-onana" with those huge long legs and the ease with which he just covers and dominates the middle of f the pitch
Penalty - agree. Surely a lighter VAR touch is not spending endless minutes looking for a reason to disallow - checking for multiple offences, drawing subjective lines looking for millimetres for offside’s? But certainly not fundamentals: like if a player clearly changes the trajectory of a ball through an unambiguous touch unseen by the ref. What’s the point of a VAR review if you are not going to flag ‘clear and obvious’ mistakes?
What's really stupid is that to find out why VAR or the ref hasn't given something i have to sign up to twitter/x. I pay over 800 quid for a season ticket don't we deserve to know wtfs going on. And the signals crap on the holte so won't see it until after the game
I think the penalty was awarded as Cash didn't divert the ball enough to close out that moment. The striker "could have" continued with the ball in its new position post Cash's touch, but he dived in the moment after cash touching the ball. I really dislike cheating footballers who dive, honestly, I don't like it when one of our players does it.
Pete I love your coverages of Villa games, unfortunately, I cannot agree with your comments on the penalty, Matty played the ball but he also brought down his opponents whilst the ball was still in play. Within the laws of the game it was a penalty
Must keep Duran , he just needs to hear the fan sing his name , his villas number 9 , I just want to get ride of Carlos asap his a big poser sell Carlos get the Dutch man right back
What a time to be a Villa-fan. So much happening at the club, and Norwegian Lions will get together for the weekends clash against Arsenal. Good vecation! And as always… Up the Mighty Villa! 🤫💜💙
Couple of Swedes there as well. UTV!
Lakeside drinks must taste all the sweeter after a Villa opening winner - long time coming too! UTMV!
Youri Tielemans, my call for player of the season
Onana was so commanding in midfield. What a signing. Exactly what we need. Great to see some combinations already starting to click. Just need to be more clinical with our chances and a bit more heads up to pass to players in better scoring positions. When that starts to happen. What out Premier League! UTMV!
Fantastic to have the show back for the new season
Thanks for another excellent episode. Enjoy your vacation.
Roll on Arsenal. UTV
Great show as always Pete. Delighted with the new sponsor Silhill Brewery, their beers are fantastic and the new venue is brilliant 🍻
Onana was great. Duran is such a high risk/reward player, I’m still not sure if his toxicity is worth it but we’ll see if he continues to shut up skeptics like myself
Great episode, 100% spot on about the pen, absolute joke.. Enjoy your vacation, it looks fabulous ... UTMV!
It was such a great result Pete, first day win is like a shot in the arm of pure joy! Rodgers is going to be one hell of a player! UTMV

Welcome back for the new season Pete, and it looks great where you are.
It was NEVER a penalty

Welcome back to the new season Peter. A cracking fix this morning whilst I work watching the Holy Trinity Show. I bet your itching to return to Villa park for your annual visit
Come on !! 💜🩵

So many positives from Saturday but a real stand out for me was Maatsen. Kudus was really tearing us apart in the second half, as soon as Maatsen came on there was no more threat from Kudus. Oh! And he got a pre assist.
Thought you might have had Rogers & watkins as your combined goal scores
Great entertaining watch as always. UTMV! 💜💙
Hi Pete, check out Louie Barry’s goals so far this season , class.
What a show, this is, never miss it.
Great to have you back for another season Pete! This is going to be a wild ride. UTV
0:58 Hi Pete.
Great Show as usual. B.
Was looking forward to this. Love your style, bro. And big up to the Kababish!
We rarely get decisions against the London clubs.
I think Pau has put Duran under his wing , I saw Pau put his arm around him a few times after the final whistle speaking in his ear. Something to keep an eye on .
Great show👍🏻

As always up the mighty villa Pete 🥃
Compare the villa bench against palace last game, to Saturday's, it's nite and day. ...
Thanks as always Pete, enjoy the rest of your holiday it looks wonderful!

Sky’s dirty match managing at work again. So maddening!
Thanks Pete🥳
Onana looks like the next botange an we've missed that ever since he left if onana can be that disaplined an sacrifice his own game for the team it's luiz who ,an what a player we've got
In the Everton v Brentford game ,same scenario - this time the ref decided it was ' a coming together '!! No penalty.
So stoked for this win and the season!! Where can I get a T shirt or merch here in N. California? I don’t think they ship overseas. UTV
If that was a penalty I'm a Dutch man and VAR does intervene with ref to overturn decisions so don't come the bullocks

Hi, you mentioned a new taproom that has opened near VP. Can you tell us what it's called?
The penalty wasn’t that much of a disgrace. Very much in the referee’s call grey area and I’m fine with that. With any decision, I try to flip it and think what I’d say if the teams were reversed.

Great show and great win
BIG UP Pete i just made it to the 1,000 likes 👍
I notice we are getting called 'the Lions' a lot now. A Chris Heck nickname improvement ?

Love the Kababish.

After those 3 points, I would be satisfied with a draw this Saturday.
Its defintely NOT Andre mate Its "Tarantul-onana" with those huge long legs and the ease with which he just covers and dominates the middle of f the pitch

What about the foul on Mcgrinn in the first minute by kudas !!
UTMV!
1980/81 seem to remember we lost a number of pre-season friendlies, then went on to win the first game 2-1 away. Just putting it out there!

Words like “Black sheep” are no longer politically correct especially if it also involves a black player.
Must keep Duran , he just needs to hear the fan sing his name , his villas number 9 , I just want to get ride of Carlos asap his a big poser sell Carlos get the Dutch man right back
