Me too Chelts - we're definitely going to be drawn at home and miss our free game!

We didn't get a bye into the second round of the Rumbelows then? Down with the deadbeats of the bottom half...

Next three seasons it's going to be called The Carabao Cup.
It's a Thai energy drink.

A return to Bremen - last visited August 2012, would be nice.
I met up with loads of Villans from all over Europe and even a few from Brum !
Nice city and decent beer
Police treated the Villa fans with great respect

Aston Villa can confirm the club will travel to Germany as part of their pre-season preparations.   

The team will take part in the Schauinsland-Reisen tournament, a mini-competition at MSV-Arena, Duisburg, on Sunday July 23, kick-off 1pm local time.   

Teams will play two matches lasting 45 minutes each.

Other participating clubs include MSV Duisburg, Werder Bremen or FC Koln (depending on European qualification) and Malaga CF.   

Steve Bruce’s outfit will also play a second game against Vitesse Arnhem in the same region as the tournament. 

This will take place on Tuesday July 25, kick-off time and venue TBC.
