Derby v Villa Friendly

[Mike Jeffries]

The Alexandra and The Brunswick are the places to go, nice pubs & great beers.

Both 1-2 mins from the station and a gentle 10 mins stroll to the ground.

The Navigation, Crown & Cushion and Florence Nightingale are all Grade A shit-holes.

Jealous of anyone going in the Brunswick, great pub!

He played his strongest possible defence in the two games in HK so I suppose he wants to see what his weakest can do. Can possibly see us losing but it is only right to give all members a chance. Hopefully he will play Gary Gardner most of the second half.

Would it be fair to describe this is as a minimalist match thread?

Matt Kendricks tweets seem to suggest he's doing well to stay awake...

[Toronto Villa]

wow. This really is a pre-seaon friendly. Move along now nothing to see here. I want the season to start and the transfer window to shut. Get down to proper business and all that.

Let's see if any of us can get a swearword into the live Villa website text coverage.

Who was the young lad that people said played well in the Walsall game? He came on as a sub?

Heskey?

In English? Or maybe suggest a 'foreigner' as a new signing? Connasse is available from Putain de Merde.
