Villa to play 3 games in US for Preseason

[Toronto Villa]

Chicago Fire have 78,000 fans on FIFA 12 which is way more than any other MLS club.

Any particular reason for this?

Who gives a fuck?

Is there any need for that? They are a fan base that we don't know. The last US trip we found that there are actually a lot of good people out there who aren't as bitter or miserable as some of us have become.

I have been away from these pages for quite some time, but kept in touch with a number of the posters, mainly through Facebook. After a spell in Orlando and Houston, I returned to Chicago in December 2011 and could not be happier with this news. I hope Mac and Dave do not mind me posting this, but I have set up an event page on Facebook to try and collect as many ideas as possible to make this as memorable as the visit to Columbus in 2007. Great to see my old mucker TV still posting here. Maybe we can do a repeat of the fans game. I have already reached out to people at the Fire to see if they are interested.

If you are on Facebook, please sign up to the event at http://www.facebook.com/events/359316637445257/ and spread the word.

Again. if I am violating any rules by posting this, please forgive me.

UTV and here's to July 21st!!!

Simon, still posting, still miserable despite being hopelessly optimistic that the sun will come out eventually. Hope you have been well. Would love to catch up with you. Massively gutted that I have come to the realisation that I cannot make Chicago. Timing is bad. But I will be in Philly. Can you make that?

Is this so that Randy can finally watch a fucking match?

I see that season ticket holders who renew before 31st May get entered in a prize draw to win a trip there.
Theres probably only going to be a few in that draw. 

Oooh! Fingers crossed...

[D.boy]

I'd uncross them if I were you Leeg.

Probably as Chicago Villa takes up so many seats at Toyota Park, the stadium looks half full just with him in there. He really is their own Barry Austin.

Still weighing in at approx 185lbs. Not bad considering I hit 43 tomorrow, and have about as much physical exercise as Stephen Hawkins.

Have a great day, just go easy on the cake, Simon Pieman.

Slight tangent - for those who are going you will be pleased to know that alcohol is served at the ground, and when I was there on Saturday, there was even a bar with liquor!. Beer was priced at $10 for a can poured into(plastic) glass about the size of a UK pint, and $8 for a smaller can or draught beer (little over 1/2 pint). Not sure how much the hard stuff was.

What the FUCK is "liquor" Simon? You fucking yank! ;-)

I am pretty excited for the Philly game.  Would have loved a NYC game, but I can't complain about the extra 110 miles to get to Chester PA.

I have always wanted to go to Portland, and my wife really wants to go too.

I wonder if I could somehow work our first Portland trip into the mix and pretend that it's just a coincidence that Villa happens to be playing while we are there...

Paul, I suggest you fly out to Liberty, Missouri, then take a wagon and horses to Portland. Start now and you'll be there for kick-off. The original pioneers used to set off about this time so there would be enough grazing for the horses and cattle. Your wife will love the Little House on the Prairie Oregon Trail theme so much, she won't notice the Villa are playing. Sorted!

Hark at the posh vino quaffing frog!

[Bad English]

I bloody am quaffing vino, to calm my nerves. Just back from selling a PS3 game to two dodgy characters on a supermarket car park at 11pm. They turned up in a Peugeot 607 with hoodies and "I'm fucking suspicious and an evil cut-throat" written all over them.  I was shitting meself for a minute.

Aren't you allowed to arm yourself with a nice crusty baguette to thrust in a stabbing motion toward hoodlums like that, or is that only reserved as a line of defence against those smelly North African illegals?
