What/who is TalkVilla+?

TalkVilla+ is an additional Aston Villa news service on Substack to complement the website, talk-villa.com.

Both are run by me, Sumeet Paul, a passionate Villa supporter for over 30 years. Dating back to the days of Big Ron and Brian Little, via the Juan Pablo Angel and Olof Mellberg fandom, the memorable Martin O’Neill tenure, our less enjoyable Championship woes through to the excitement of the Unai Emery era.

Why subscribe to Talk Villa+?

TalkVilla+ is an ad-free, and troll-free, home for all things Aston Villa. It’s a space for Villa fans to keep up with the most important news all in one place.

The aim is to provide you with a clean, succinct news service and a space for a passionate community of Villans, while there will be no ads, ever, within the content.

Join me in the Monday Night Club with our weekly newsletter, which will be available for free and is sent directly to your inbox every Monday evening, as well as a free weekly podcast.

These will cover all the main talking points over the past week, from reaction to our latest games and the important news that has made the headlines.

What does a paid subscription include?

In order to hopefully turn this into a full-time job, some content will be behind a paywall, so your support will be hugely appreciated if you enjoy what you read and choose to sign up.

While you can find all the latest Villa news at talk-villa.com and the weekly newsletter mentioned above will always be free, there will be exclusive analysis pieces, podcasts, Q&As and much more bonus content available with a TalkVilla+ paid subscription.

This will be a completely ad-free service, so none of those annoying banners or pop-ups, just key Villa news collected in one place with deep dives and discussion on the most important topics.

So, I hope to see you join the Talk Villa family, where we’ll have proper conversations amongst passionate Villa fans only, away from the noise and negativity of social media.

Up The Villa!
