All Villa No Filler - An Aston Villa Podcast

'Rivalries' is a series where we meet fans from opposition clubs to talk over the latest Aston Villa games.

This week, ahead of Sunday's big derby game at Villa Park, Frankie met the BBC's Dan Welsh, a lifelong West Brom fan from Erdington.

Dan explained how West Brom have improved under Sam Allardyce since Villa won 3-0 at the Hawthorns back in December. Dan knows, though, that Sunday's derby is close to last chance saloon for the Baggies as they fight to stay up in the Premier League.

Both Dan and Frankie talked over the local rivalry, discussed whether Super Jack Grealish can still make it into the Euros despite his injury, and the two rival fans found one thing that can unify them on football matters - not liking 'The Super League'.

This week saw one of the most shocking 48 hours in football history as the Premier League's so-called 'Big Six' signed-up to a new 'Super League' alongside European heavyweights including Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus.

Almost immediately there was heavy opposition to the Super League from fans, European governments, German football clubs, non 'Big Six' Premier League clubs, British Royals, UEFA, FIFA and more. The scale of anger led to a majority of the clubs who had signed up to withdraw from the Super League within 48 hours of it being officially announced.

In an interview special, we spoke to CBS Sports reporter and Aston Villa fan Jonathan Johnson about how the Super League collapsed and what it could have meant for Villa if the plans had succeeded. We also looked at the new rules for the Champion League, which include qualification based on historical performance, and whether they might affect Villa should they ever finish in the top four of the Premier League.

'Rivalries' is a series where we meet fans from opposition clubs to talk over the latest Aston Villa games.

This week, less than 24 hours after a host of major European clubs announced the formation of 'The Super League', Frankie met Manchester City fan David Mooney, who hosts the 'Blue Moon' podcast and The Athletic's 'Why Always Us?'.

We were due to discuss Villa's upcoming match against City, but conversation was dominated by the Manchester club's decision to join 'The Super League'.

David described the emotions of seeing his team join the new league along with the likes of AC Milan and Barcelona, and we talked about what it could mean for football as a whole.

He told us how the Punjabi Villans work with local communities and charities. Randeep also discussed British Asian representation in football and the joy of seeing Arjan Raikhy make a start for Villa in the FA Cup.

Tom also had praise for Villa centre-back Ezri Konsa, a player who has really caught the eye this season.
