Meet the opposition - Ipswich Town v Aston Villa Match build up -

[@villaparkpod]

Thanks for having me, great chat 💙💜

[@dantrum17]

Villa fan here- I'm expecting a difficult game on Sunday. It's nice to see Ipswich back in the PL after a long time away. I wish your team much success this season, & I hope that you'll manage to stay up! 🤝

[@netsurfer007]

Big up Rich! My favourite Villa channel. It's going to be a very tight game. Both teams to score. May the best team win! UTV

[@QuentinKarentino]

Never know with football, especially our high line... 😂 good luck for the season lads! (Just not this game😅)

[@Lioness_UTV]

As a Villa, I absolutely love that you are back in the Prem. Looking forward to our match and no matter the result wish you the best for the rest of the season.

[@vforvillan9502]

Whenever talk of Ipswich Town comes about, I'm old enough to always immediately think of the Bobby Robson years. So for me Ipswich is a top tier team - where have you been all these years? Talking with relatively recent experience, I think you'll find that the first year back in the Prem will be the hardest, so finishing 17th by a whisker should be seen as success this season. Anything more will be a bonus. Oh, and I hope that your assorted owners are generous and have deep pockets!

[@paulhobday9272]

Great video guys, only found out recently that your great manager used to play my Villa team, plus you have a great spokesman for Ipswich in Benjamin Bloom!

[@dikofantastico]

Big man Rich representing us with grace and intelligence as always

[@netsurfer007]

Agreed! UTV!

[@danielhughes7228]

Villa fan in peace. I hope you lot can stay up. It’s such a success story. I am hoping for 3 points if I’m honest, we should be beating a newly promoted team but I believe it will be a very hard game All the best for the season.

[@TalkingTownITFC]

@@danielhughes7228 thanks for the comment Dan. Should be a good game with whoever wins having had to really work for it👍🏻

[@danielhughes7228]

Agreed, will be a very tough game for both teams. Let’s enjoy it, good luck.

[@mattrice908]

Aston Villa fan - Ipswich were my Grandads team on my Moms side. I have a massive soft spot for Ipsiwch and hope you can stay up this season. You have a great manager so fingers crossed.

[@TalkingTownITFC]

@@mattrice908 thanks for the comment Matt 👍🏻

[@captainhindsight6994]

Town are my uncles team but villa are mine. I want to stick it to him as family but I hope you guys do well this year, great seeing your rise over the last couple of years. I wish you well for the rest of the season, after losing to us of course xD

[@Viewsonic61]

Villa fan here buddy, I really enjoyed the content and the professionalism of the pod. Rich is a great guest to have, he's a knowledgeable and passionate Villa fan and I urge your followers to check his podcast out, they're highly entertaining. I have to agree with Rich about the outcome on Sunday. I think we'll have too much quality over the 90 mins. Watkins has now started scoring after a 4 match barren run so I expect him to grab a couple but I do think we'll concede, we just can't buy a clean sheet at the moment. My prediction 3-1 Villa. Good luck for the rest of the season I really hope you guys stay up so we can revive our rivalry like back in the good old days.

[@TalkingTownITFC]

@@Viewsonic61 thank you so much for leaving a comment and the nice words. They mean a lot! Glad you enjoy it. Rich was great 👍🏻

[@fellamelad22]

Big test for the Tractor Boys, but we CAN DO IT!!! cmon' The TOWN!!!!!

[@redhourdan1874]

Villa fan here. Haven't seen much of Town but do like the look of Delap... You will score, we can't keep a clean sheet so it's really whether Villa can score 2 or more as to where the points end up. My prediction is 2-1 Villa, close to the end. Like that game when we lost the services of Luc Nilis back in 2000 to that awful injury.

[@petercollins5861]

Ipswich this year reminds me of Luton last year, sort of a rags to riches story, meteoric rise. I really hope that Ipswich breaks that mold of hitting high tide and quickly ebbing. just, after the Villa game. it's needed for the overall health of the English game, I think. UTV

[@TalkingTownITFC]

@@petercollins5861 I couldn’t agree more with you Peter not just because it’s now my club involved 😁.. the gap is getting bigger though Isn’t it

[@maxxfx4767]

Going to be tough for us... but at home we've played ok so far COYB

[@UKPOTOFGREED]

@@maxxfx4767 villa have also not lost an away game this season haha. Good luck though it’s amazing to see you guys in the prem!

[@TalkingTownITFC]

@@maxxfx4767 fortress Portman road right.. go on max score prediction 😁

[@reecebryant7178]

Great vid mate good luck for the season hope you stay up but UTFV

[@standuplive1]

Im a Villa fan that found this video by chance. I actually think Ipswich can finish above 13-14th. Good luck to you guys. Villa I think is heating up and I think its hard to contain Villa to less than 2 goals, but we are weak the first 20 minutes sometimes first half so if you build a lead Ipswich can win. UTV

[@TalkingTownITFC]

@@standuplive1 well we are pleased you found us! Hope you enjoyed the content and we’ll also be doing some stuff post game.. which depending on which way it goes you may enjoy 🤣👍🏻 thanks again for taking the time to comment 👍🏻

[@UTVboys]

What an honest Respectful channel. if i may... can i concur on Rich's comments. don't go mad or panic come January the 31st. i agree with Richard... stay calm & just focus on beating those around you! Not in a patronizing way but ....ignore the likes of mid table or above. meaning results... including Villa. the Southampton's, Leicester, West ham, Palace... & wolves & Everton. are the focused games in survival. finishing 17th is the key or mission this season. Don't do a Leeds... Don't do a Burnley... keep calm. after all if you finish 17th... you already have more money than the newcomers next season, and more likely to remain here furthermore. Oldboys... Ipswich Town Tuanzebe a 3 time Loaned player to Villa. who Villa fans rated. Janoi Donacien - A trainee at Villa Oldboys ....Aston Villa Tyrone Mings - Training after long term injury last Aug [ ACL ] might come on as a sub... worth checking the bench. Louie Barry - Out on Loan to Stockport County. Goodluck... i hope you stay up. Prediction ITFC 1 - 3 AVFC Delap Watkins 2 Ramsey

[@TalkingTownITFC]

@@UTVboys thank you for those nice words! We try to simply say how we see it here on Talking Town. It’s really honestly appreciated getting nice words like those so thank you. I was saying to Rich off air I really fancy you lot to continue muscling in on that ‘top 6’ You’ve got such a good style Have a great season.. just not a great game Sunday 🤣👍🏻

[@UTVboys]

@@TalkingTownITFC Thankyou. get that 17th spot.... after Sunday!

[@JohnVilla1960]

Unai Emery always makes the Premier League the priority. The Bayern game will only be priority after Sunday.

[@TalkingTownITFC]

@@JohnVilla1960 can’t you just let me clutch at some straws John 🤣😁👍🏻 thanks for the comment

[@UTVilla]

Villa fan, going to be a test for us, we lost against Forrest last season, and struggled against Sheffield United, we play much better against the more high line attacking teams. Teams set up with no space in behind we have struggled to break down. Interesting game

[@TalkingTownITFC]

@@UTVilla thanks for the comment and thank you for watching! Hope you enjoyed. Certainly is an interesting game and as town fans I think we are looking forward to it…

[@JettIRL]

hopefully a good tactical battle between 2 good managers

[@TalkingTownITFC]

@@JettIRL playing in a very similar way by the sounds of it. Should be a good game

[@clario2178]

We won’t be underestimating Ipswich ,will be a tough game ,if we play to our best we should be ok .UTV

@TalkingTownITFC - why didnt you get Max Stokes aka Villa On Tour in this video for the Villa Oppo ??

Villa cud take their eye off the ball, Bayern upcoming an all that, but we are kinda ruthless these days...

[@TalkingTownITFC]

@@TalkingTownITFC no worries, all the best for the season

[@grahamwade4023]

Villa should have capitalised on going 2 - 1 up but yet again poor defending cost us..dont know how your capt stayed on the field Ref bottled that..2 points lost as a Villain...

[@TexasTractorBoy]

Need to be disciplined. Play our game. I’ll be thrilled with a draw against this team.

[@TalkingTownITFC]

@@TexasTractorBoy a point at home wouldn’t be a bad thing that’s for sure
