Some of your fans we don’t live in England and we don’t have the resources to be able to go to Villa Park; then we rely on blogs like yours to see the athmosphere etc. You are doing a great job and I really appreciate you go to all the games. I do would like to see more of the chants etc but I also understand it is your blog and you decide. Anyway cheers from Spain mate and keep up the good work

Brilliant knowing a little about your personal lives and jobs, especially much respect to Simon as a nurse in the NHS

Always the first video I look out for on KZfaq after the games. Me and my son bumped into you when going to our seats at the Riverside stadium Middlesbrough game. Keep doing what you do as it brings so much joy for many of us fans that don't live close to Villa Park .. UTV 💜💙

Fantastic video chaps, my first game was a 1-1 draw v QPR in 1978, I was 10. The moment I saw the AV floodlights lighting up half of Aston I was hooked, Best moment at Villa Park was seeing Juventus in 1983 we lost 3-1 but 7 Italian World Cup stars from 82 plus Platini and Boniek, what a team they had. Then there I was Barcelona in the Super Cup Inter Milan, the list goes on. I am disabled these days so I don’t get to go anymore so your videos makes me feel included. I love it. Thanks so much.

Cheers from Brasil 🇧🇷.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷il,let the haters hate,more views,you're living rent free in their nut.🇧🇷

Guys, im 59, a Villa fan thru, and thru, my blood is Claret & Blue, and your show is the first i look out for. Thank you for bringing your experiences to us without which we would not have a clue. If anyone hates the accent, their not a brummie and probably not a Villa fan. Keep it up Max. UTV.

Love watching your channel, I’m a nurse on surgical day ward & love my job as I’m semi retired. Used to have a season ticket lower holt in the John Gregory, Martin o Neal good old days. Living just over the border mid Wales now and try and get back to matches couple of times a year. Your coverage of the international matches are great. Keep up the amazing vlogs.

My dad worked in Villa park in his youth, he would always say he would always work on match days just so he could watch in the stands. This was the 70’s, where most of the stands were literally standing only!

For someone who can't get to the matches now Villa on tour brings the atmosphere into my home . Thank you

I cried for Villa in 1981 when we won the league 💜💙 I also had a tear in my eye as they walked out for the 2000 FA Cup Final.

There are quite a number of great Villa channels on KZfaq that I subscribe to, but in my opinion VoT is the best. It's just the most fun. It's not bothering about the deep analysis (which we've all already probably got our own opinions on anyway), but focusing on the simple experience of being a fan at a game. For me it's a 240 mile round trip to Villa Park, which I do a handful or so times a season, and I stand no chance of getting an away game ticket, so this channel allows me to feel more involved than I would otherwise be. It is also very well edited - so well worth burning the midnight oil for, and I thank you. As it happened, I found myself walking behind Simon up Bevington Road before the Forest game last month. I didn't want to interrupt him as he was deep in conversation already, but what went through my mind was, 'he's a lot taller than I thought he was'. Thanks again, and here's to three points against the Yam Yams on the weekend. UTV

I'm from Singapore and I have never seen a match from a fan's perspective at Villa Park and away games. Thank you for always recording videos and sharing your views of the matches!

Had a few tears when we lost 3-0 against Liverpool at Old Trafford in the FA cup semi in 96, mad week as we'd beat Leeds 3-0 in the league cup final at Wembley the week before.

I’m lucky enough to know you personally and have watched you grow from scratch. It has been a privilege and a pleasure. You won’t find a nicer group of young men anywhere and it’s a bonus that you’re Villa too 😊🦁. Keep up the good work Max because we all love these blogs and look forward to them. See you against Wolves!!x

nurse in nhs rate that so much brilliant channel as a west ham fan love the content and love the passion for one club not a big six deluded account like most of twitter/yt is stumbled upon this account during lockdown been class ever since works because its genuine and relatable a bunch of mates having a laugh keep up the good work x

Cheers from Argentina. Come on River Plate !

enjoyed this lads!

Thanks Max and Simon, you do a brilliant job in bringing match day experience to us down here in Melbourne. I was a season ticket holder on the Holte through the 80’s before I travelled the world and ended up stopping here. I absolutely loved away days with my mates, the away days we had for the one year we were down in the old second division under Graham Taylor were just brilliant and you’re the closest to bringing that sort of experience to my living room! Let’s hope the channel keeps growing and you can keep it all going, thanks guys 🙏

Wolves is absolutely a must win. All our home games are must win. It is the business end of the season…

We wait for your blog & Pete with the Holy Trinity show each week. Both brilliant, regards from Spain.

Love your videos, definitely a great format which beats so many of the others and you’re right…met you after the last home game and you were taller than I thought you’d be 😂

Great video guys, a good chance to get to know you a bit more. Hopefully tears of joy will flow at the end of the season!

"Ever cried at the Villa?" Not yet but if we win the Conference League I probably will!

Ayyy I was at that Social club a few weeks ago. Highly recommend going to anyone in Birmingham.

Really enjoyed this Vlog. Having been a Villa fan for ions as I lived in Milton Keynes, worked as a Social Worker and another Social Worker asked if I wanted to go to an Aston Villa Football Game explaining to me an American I would probably call it Soccer ! My 1st College had a super Soccer Team and we won a National Championship song ofcourse said I love Soccer. I went and became a lifelong Villa Fan. Saw you in Philadelphia last summer ! Your Vlogs make me feel like I am back in the stands. Keep up the good work ! Thanks for sharing ! ⚽️⚽️⚽️

Great Q&A guys. Open and honest and both sharing the passion for why you do it. Love the channel and thank you for everything you do!! Its the first vid I check out after match days UTV !!

Im biased but its the best matchday vlog on KZfaq. Really glad you mentioned the Man Utd away day, its genuinely the video I've watched the most on youtube. If im feeling sad, i whack that on and it puts a big stupid grin on my face.

Loved that,great insights,thank you for the kind words about my team The Owls,a proper club indeed same as the Villa. Hopefully we'll see a winning video from Athens.

Let's win the conference league and finish in 4th spot and qualify for champions league. Then go on as England to win the Euros with ollie scoring the winning goal in the final 💪

Great video, different content in a great location and great to know you both better! Cheers

I really appreciated your remarks about how you deal with hate comments. As someone who has just started to produce content, it has shocked me how rude and moronic people can be. I'm proud of my brummie accent too lads 👍

Thanks for the kind words max and si 🤘

Smashing it lads great to see the channel grow love watching yas UTV

Max I am a season ticket holder from Ireland,went over for years,more difficult now,my ticket is up for sale every game…thanks for keeping the excitement of match day alive for fans like me.

Wonderful show guys, really appreciate your channel, extra love to supa-Max for staying up so late doing the editing. VOT is the big-heart channel, lovely that you ask the young Villans for their score predictions, such a nice touch. Big, big thank you, keep up the good work. Come on you Lions (a chant from the long past) 😅

Keep up the great work boys. Love your shows especially the away ones to share the experience. Ignore the haters. UTV

love the video, i always thought from the vids you were around 5'9 ish and then saw you for the ajax away and was so confused😂

Enjoyed this guys. Nice to understand your day jobs etc. Shame the club doesn't get you to do a few more bits (like your dreams), even on the pre-season tour with fans etc.

Great insight into how VOT works Love it UTV

Haters are people who don't have the initiative, work ethic and intelligence to make something of their lives. Not worth thinking about for a second

Loved that Max , Simon , great insight, always look forward to your content post match , keep up the good work guys ,

Would never have guessed Simon was a nurse haha

Fascinating hearing about you and Simon, didn't realise you were both so tall lol. Don't get to games so always look forward to your videos, win lose or draw. been watching them about 5 years, can't remember how i found them but so glad i did. Anyway, keep up the good work UTV

Thanks for all your content guys😎 much love from New Zealand❣️

Win loose or draw mate i always watch the vids👍

Great blog lads. Top notch 👍👍👍

Love the Brad Guzan cat story lol Named my cat Ollie right after he signed. Thankfully Watkins proved to be a great signing 😅

Do more of these please. Really enjoyed it lads

Another great video Max, well done mate.

Keep doing what your doing max!! Us villa fans appreciate what your doing!! Im sure some of the players have a cheeky watch aswell 😂 UTFV 💜💙❤️

Totally agree with the loud music pre match and when teams come out. Let the fans create it!! Even worse at Wembley pre and post match !!!!

This is different but I enjoyed it a lot we need more like this lad

I think i cried a bit when i heard of Dalian`s shocking death, he was a big favourite of mine as a youth, i recall being huddled in the away end at Tranmere, freezing midweek February game, his casual edge of the box half volley in the dying stages seemed vital.........and it was.

I've watched since you started. I work internationally, so you keep us connected. I think you had a lot to do with developing the 'on tour genre' There is a lot of clones out there. Yours is still the best. I do think that there are two ways you could eventually go full-time. 1. You could provide a platform for 'on tour' vloggers across the PL and EFL. 2. The Villa fan base is expanding globally. Yours is the best portal for a Holt-end experience. Stick at it. You can only grow.

Top video as always. Yours is the first me and my son look for. Supporting Villa since 1975! No idea what game it was. We do membership and go to as many games as we can. My son took inspiration from you and Awawdays and has his own channel AVFC William. Keep up the good work lads. UTV

Ex brummie villan living in South wales,look forward to your vlogs,one of the best on KZfaq,

Great insight and Great content,pleasure to follow your channel!

Really enjoyed watching this video Max! Some great questions asked which were well explained by both yourself and Simon! 👏🏾 Keep up the amazing work you're doing on behalf of us fans who aren't able to attend away matches as often as we'd like! UTV! 🦁 💜 🩵

What a brilliant video I loved listening to the Q&A. UTV

When the atmosphere banging I could cry utv

You guys are the BEST! Great interesting video, keep the GREAT channel going!

Fair play to you both . Brilliant 👍🏻

Because wife has now banned me from away days you lads are my away day now, love it, (I did manage Ajax away though).Great night was had in Susie’s Saloon on the Wed.night and a pleasure to see you both ‘ on it’!😄. very professional vlogging well done lads UTV!!

we had a great time in Brum. Up the Brummie accent!

Great banter. Love your channel. Met you once at Forest. And yes you were tall!! I’m gutted at 5’8” I can’t join the gang. Keep up the good work Max.

Got to meet you in Philly. I just awkwardly started talking to you… thanks for being so chill with my awkward self

Brilliant hour lads! UTV

Fantastic insight into how you guys go about things, I found it really interesting. I bet you guys would love to work full time covering the Villa in some capacity but it's not that simple. I watch a few Villa podcasts and like you say they are all different in a way, but for the match day atmosphere and the away day experience your channel is by far the best. Keep it up lads. UTV VTWD 💜💙

Enjoyed this video, nice filler for the international break. Very glad my "click bait" remark from west ham didn't make it into the hate comments section!😂 Fun to discover what your jobs are, I'm sure Simon is an excellent nurse 👏🏾 ✊🏾 (bucket) hats off to you dude. 🫡 Keep up the good work utv 💜💙

43:47 I’m almost always wearing some item of clothing with a Villa logo on out and about, which invariably garners a response - love it, even if it is abuse from a blue nose! 🤣

2 - vasilev went to Miami, scored 5 in 2 years and then went to St Louis. He was replaced at Miami by some unknown guy called Lionel Messi.

Very enjoyable vlog chaps. Some great reminiscences and insights. I think young Kai deserves a mention with Grandad, Mum (not so much in recent times) and little bro. His content and presentation have evolved over the seasons although his fringe still has a mind of its own 😂 Guzan was good but his suicide pass to Aguero across the 6 yard box for a tap in was deeply suspicious. Allegedly. Just when Villa were threatening a comeback. Even the MOTD pundits were totally baffled. Allegedly.

17:40 - slightly younger Neil Warnock mopping up. 👌🏼

We only beat wolves twice in the last 15 needs to change

Fave Villa players include Platt, Spink, Daley, through Dalian to Angel then Benteke, Carew. I now like Ollie, Bailey, Martinez and Dougie. I loved the Taylor, Big Ron, Little, Gregory and O Neill eras then it was pretty bad until the resurgence under Dean Smith, and Grealish...

You guys in the pub I think you should feed gord jägers and record that. That would make great content 😂😂 GREAT VIDEO UTV.

Good vlog…keep up the good work UTV

Top pod lads thank you, great to know a bit more about you both and beers are on me when I hopefully get to meet ya 💜💙 and keep the faith btw, I reckon 4th is ours and can you imagine when that music starts at VP on a Tuesday night ……. Just sayin 😍

Just proper good lads, top representers of our club on KZfaq. 💜

This was great guys. 😂 you two only met a few years back …. I thought you were brothers 🤦‍♀️

Way to make me feel old Max!!! Your 1st favourite player, Benteke My 1st favourite player, Brian Little 😂 keep up the good work 👍🏼

Don't forget Callum Shaw and AVFC Vlogger aka Kai, he's been going the Villa since he was a nipper

I have cried at Villa Park, my first away game, 26th Feb 1977 Aston Villa 3 Port Vale 0 Att 46,000. I was only 7 years old

Im a chelsea fan who hopes villa get into the champions league

Rotherham was where I believed. How I didn't jump up in their end when the winner went in, I'll never know.

The lads ❤️

Great Video lads , love the random Q&A , love your reaction to the sad haters , nice bonus during the 'Internationa'l break

utv from australia 💛💚 💙💜

Loved the insight lads Great Vid 👏

Sainsbury's 😮 max youre a morrisons man 💪💪

simon, saw you in hospital and didnt say hi as you looked like you visiting, actually looked like you had bad news so walked by.had no idea you just 'at work'.lol

Love this!

Loved this, cheers lads. Stupidly thought you were both jobless KZfaq millionaires! Please keep up the good work. UTFV

That bar is just down from the best Indian (Punjabi) cafe in Birmingham. IYKYK

Love the channel but I have to disagree with Simon slightly when he said the Spurs defence isn't great. It might be true, as was seen at Fulham, when Micky van de Ven is missing but when he's there? Without wishing to tempt the fates I think the Villa have a fair chance of 4th and it might come down to how both teams (Villa and Spurs) fare against the top three. But no matter its been a great season and nice to be worrying at the top of the table rather than the other end.

My 1st ever game was opening day of 83/84 season. Sunderland at home. Lost 3-1. Sick on the holte end after getting car sick on the way to Brum. Started supporting during 80/81 when I was 6. Obviously we won the league and a cup the season after. We don't like to talk about it though. 🤔

Great video lads UTV

Love it big Villa Fan ex Sutton Coldfield now New Zealand

Top 5 will probably get us into CL
