Wasn't that when he was at barcelona?

[Beijing Villan]

Love the black strip with the checkerboard side panels. Wasn't keen on the photos but seeing it being worn it looks great. Not sure about the Tony the Tiger goalie kit though.

Are they expecting heavy snow?

[TheEgo]

the black kit looks really quite cool

Agreed  looks the business!

That said the yellow goalie shirt is just terrible, what were nike thinking?!

[Axl Rose]

come on Villa!! a good test tonight against a technically very good team

[pauliewalnuts]

Anyone else finding this Veetle stream to be very stop start and choppy?

[Axl Rose]

Just watch the way the Benfica players look comfortable on the ball..these are teams Villa should model themselves on, passing wise

Not sure but it definitely wasn't making sure they'd get our kit out on time. I wonder how long before Nike decide that we're just not worth it and dump us, or vice versa?

Started with a fast tempo

Black kit is better in the flesh.

They look a bit sharper to start with, but we're further into our pre season preparation so hopefully that will tell in the latter stages of the game like last night.

[Axl Rose]

nice to see a load of Villa fans over in the corner

[curiousorange]

I hate going on about refs but there's already been a fair few 50-50s that Benfica have got the decision on.

[BedsVillain]

Jesus young Marc puts himself about a bit! Milner who?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Interesting contest between Albrighton and Coentrão.

[Axl Rose]
