Congrats Frankie on being nominated. Love the pod and you're an amazing advocate for the Villa 🎉

Voted 🙌🏼

Congrats on the nomination Frankie. I would like to learn more about villa fan network in London Frankie if you could share? I am keen to connect with other fans

Voted for this podcast. Keep up the good work really enjoy the match preview vids. Think it might be a draw against Ipswich as they were excellent at home in the Championship. However we don't draw many under UE so hopefully it'll be another happy weekend! UTV!

Congrats mate. I watch all the Villa podcasts and they all offer something different. Enjoy this one for the laid back delivery!

Congrats on the award!!

Followed Benjamin since the championship, class through and through, cracking guest. UTV

Well deserved Frankie!

I keep thinking Kosta could be our version of like a K.walker with his pace but not doing too much on the attack. If I was him I would be studying Walker on the pitch only haha. Hope to see him on Sunday

Do you watch all the other villa podcasts? Have you seen the Holy Trinity? The canadian guy is ace and very different. Another great one is UTV with Luke. I started off with theClaret and Blue and now i watch about 5 😂😂

Done, Frankie ✔️. Love the podcast, mate. My favourite is when we're linked to a player or a team we're playing out of the UK or within, you get great guests on to give us insights about it.

How long for a matty cash return

After Ipswich's promotion party at the town center park. Mckenna was spotted at 8am the next morning litter picking with council workers. The man is incredible. He has made the whole town get behind the team. He's brought us all together.

Hi Frankie we have had a great start to the season and also in Europe what a time to be a Villain 💜can’t see nothing but a win against Ipswich even though we are away from VP I’ve just dropped a vote for you and Max VOT hope you win brother 👍🏾

Ipswich fan here, wouldn't be surprised at all if we lose this quite clearly, but maybe we can pull out a performance to get something like when we went away vs. Brighton. Got to feel that whether Villa are on their game or not matters more than how well we do however.

Great vid 💜💙 Big Ben always speaks well of the villa 🙌🏼

Excellent chat lads. Used to watch Benjamin talk about Villa in his car when we were in the championship!

What a class pundit Benjamin is. I see him elsewhere too. Very best of luck for the season.

I enjoyed that. I'm an Ipswich fan so I'm very familiar with Ben's channel. If Ipswich get a point against Villa on Sunday I'll very pleased. After two very enjoyable promotion seasons Ipswich fans are having to reset their expectations, hence hoping for a draw this week-end.

Have faith ben i have we can beat anyone on the day

So great to have Benjamin on, imo one of the best football podcasts in the youtubeniverse. Been a regular viewer since we came up thanks to his 'Dearly Departed' podcasts (what a concept btw) always has kind words to say about Villa. Highly recommend a follow, he's super knowledgeable without being an unbearable stat-hipster! Dude yr smashing it with these guests this season: anyone would think we were a big club!

Great podcast. Vote cast.

The best Blooming guest you could get as we are playing Ipswich. No need to 'keep bias at the door on this occasion'. Yet Ben is familiar with Villa and can give a balanced projection.

Thanks for all the kind feedback guys, enjoy the game on Sunday!!

I have a home in Ipswich. Currently in Florence. But I'm a big Villa fan. So this one is important to me. Up the Villa

What a fantastic podcast Frankie.

I'm a long time subscriber to Benjamin.since our championship seasons.he s brilliant.totally unbiased opinions.great guest to get on frankie.really hope Ipswich stay up.utv

Great guest, I could watch Benjamin all day long. His knowledge of football, particularly the championship puts a lot of so called professional journalists to shame. Keep the great guests coming as it adds real value to the pod. Villa to win 2-0. UTV

Ben is class! Love his channel. He covered Villa loads when we got promoted, so knowledgeable and has a way with words. Hope you have him on more when you get the chance outside of Ipswich games!

Great guest Frankie , you do pick good lads 👍

Back in the day 80’s Ipswich v VIlla would headline MOTD

Great chat!

hes a nice chap. Good chat

Brilliant show that Benjamin dude is an easy listen..fair play

I think the gulf in quality of yesteryear between top and bottom of the league has somewhat dissipated to the point where anyone can win on their day so give full respect to Ipswich. They, like ourselves are part of the group not yet established teams that are plagued by PSR and more greatly effected by it, so with that in mind I hope they take a leaf out of our book and break the prem monopoly on teams, after our game obviously 😅 UTV

Top guy is Benjamin..👍👍

What a great guest and representative of his club. And he is absolutely spot on; Jack did drag us over the line on many an occasion with his socks rolled down :) From the game perspective I have nothing but absolute respect for any team's return to the Prem. I remember how hard it was for us AND how enormously difficult it was to stay. Literally every point counts as evidenced by our last game of the season against WH, of course a goal by Jack dragging us over the line one final time with a one point death-grip grab of the 17th spot. We should expect Ipswich to go all out, toe-to-toe for every ball. As you both said, anything can happen when you apply yourself and our slow starts and lack of clean sheets is a real concern. We need to snap out of it as it only emboldens teams to come at us right from the kick off. Really looking forward to the match, reliving old memories and reigniting our battle for points ~ UTV

They bottled it in 81 and we all know what happened in 82. Alan Brazil was moaning on talk sport that we had a bigger squad but we only used 14 players in 81 😂😂😂

Benjamin Bloom was a godsend in the championship days, been subbed since. Great guest Frankie and great vid!

When I was a very young lad Ipswich were our rivals and media darlings. I remember the likes of John Wark, Eric Gates, Russell Osman, Terry Butcher, Arnold Murhen etc… what a team that was! UTV

I have a lot of time for Benjamin, he's always talked fondly of us from our Championship days and beyond. Always like his content. Good podcast as usual so keep it up Frankie. Vote cast.

This guest is great. I like his use of words and his perception.

Would also say that of all the football commentariat out there Benjamin Bloom has been giving Villa credit and positive feedback for ages.

Already a follower of Benjamin Bloom, what a sensible head he has, fantastic guests, have him on every week!

cap players minutes, we have squads for a reason, they be complaining about the amount of games, but wont give someone on the bench the chance to play instead of them. They havent got a leg to stand on. Cap the minutes, and the players will be forced to select when they give a chance to another player in the squad if they dont want to play all the games. its silly that they are even complaining about it.

Loads of Welsh Villans about lads.

I live in south London and whenever I wear my top, I get compliments on the Villa and Unai Emery. Never use to happen before
