This is Aston Villa Review.

Welcome.

Or, to be more accurate, welcome back.

Hosted and produced by Chris Nee and Steven Green, Aston Villa Review was a popular podcast between 2012 and 2017.

Every now and again an old listener asks us if we’ll ever bring it back. The answer was no until it wasn’t. But, just like our football club, the world and our lives have changed since 2017. Our jobs have changed too.

So, as well as the Aston Villa Review podcast with Steve, I will be providing written coverage right here as a freelance sports journalist.

Sports journalism is my job and it has to pay my bills.

The idea behind the rebooted Aston Villa Review is to make the site worthwhile for free subscribers but to offer high-quality, in-depth content that makes a paid subscription extra special.

You will have access to a lot of content for a very low price but please know that every subscriber directly supports both my ability to put food on the table and independent, ad-free football journalism.

Here’s what’s on offer:

• Full access to everything that’s available for free subscribers

• Wraparound Aston Villa men’s first team match coverage

• A Holy Trinity of conclusions from every men’s team match

• Regular written features about the culture and history of Aston Villa

• Interviews, opinion pieces and in-depth content series

• Audio documentary content

My pledge to you in return for putting up with a paywall is simple:

Aston Villa Review will never carry advertising and will never be retooled to focus on video content for YouTube or anywhere else.

Let’s ‘ave it.
