Pre-Season

For those of us in the know, (and wearing Villa colours), you can get a jug of Carlsberg/Fosters in Murrays for a tenner, on match days, which works out to about €3 a pint.

What about Smithwicks??

[villajk]

Well, some tickets for the games in Portugal have arrived today.  *shrugs*

You going down Auntie P? I was there a fortnight ago if you need any tips etc.

Jon had been talking about it and, if he's ordered the tickets, I take it we must be going.

I'll come to you for tips when it is confirmed.  Many thanks Ian.

Tickets sorted for the Algarve games.
Five star service from Ms. Keye.

[villajk]

erm, yep it appears we are going to Portugal.

I thought Jon was just 'looking into it' this morning, but, no he's booked.

Feck, just realised Villa are playing in Dublin. Anyone going? I remember O'Dreary's first few weeks in charge Villa played in a four team tournament with Leeds, St Pats and Shelbourne. Barry sheepishly accepted the shield after we won the final. I seem to remember Allback and Angel gelling pretty well that weekend. My mate got hit in the nuts by a wayward Peter Crouch shot during the warm-up.

Whether we see any new signings is neither here nor there but I expect a couple of first team squad to have left VP

Yep, looking forward to it. Only going for the day mind, but should be good.

I can't help thinking praising Leeds fans for being good singers is a bit like saying the Hitler Youth always tidied their bedrooms.

we were in the pub and they were in good form

I'm with dave on this one.
