Hoping for a pre season friendly with Wolves, last years getting cancelled was rather annoying.

My fave pre-season game of recent times was Inter Milan. It was a beautiful sunny day and we tore them a new one.

Also enjoyed a trip to Lincoln City a few years back. We lost 3-1 but it was a nice trip on a sunny evening and one of their fans to the right of where Villa were sitting got so much stick for being fat he had to leave. Not nice in hindsight, but extremely funny at the time. I seem to remember one of their stands was nothing more than a covered bus shelter.

I am looking forward to some cricket and a break from football, but watching Villa at a lower league ground in the sunshine is always a nice pre-curser to the new season.

I wouldn't be suprised if we went of another tour of the States. I hope we can get another European opponent. That Werder Bremen game was a good one. Dortmund would be even better!

There is no chance that we will go to America on anything like the scale of last year's tour. Lambert was not impressed by it at all. Regarding Europe, it is understood that a German visit may be on the cards but not necessarily to any of the big clubs there.

Rumours we're going to Crewe preseason. Part of the Westwood deal

A trip to 'Nam Town would go down well

Crewe would be good, Rotherham is a lovely new ground and think they'd get a few in for a visit from us.

Anywhere with decent pubs and late trains home.

I quite fancy a big Scottish trip, avoiding the Old Firm of course. Hearts or Hibs would be quite fun.

Derby, Nottingham, Burton, Sheffield or even somewhere near Manchester then?
