Yep. looks a bit of a fuck up. As usual. I guess we took so long appointing AM that arranging games was a bit more difficult than usual

I'm guessing they'd have been a few more after that if the decision to bin GH had been taken earlier.

A warning to any Villa fans attending the Braga game. Just read and Google-translated the match preview on the Brage website.One line in particular should serves as a terrifying warning to all those intending to be present..."Game Presentation Gverreiros Next Saturday marks the official start of the new season of Gverreiros.After all what has been achieved in the recent past, can now be said that the party they are preparing is the starting point for another stage in the maturity of SC Braga, which is not limited to one team, one city, nor a country. SC Braga is a way of being and living, is a want and believe. It is mostly a passion that fuels the dream of reaching further with the pride of being Gverreiro of Minho.So to invite all fans to be united around the team in the carnival atmosphere in the squad with the presentation of the game against Aston Villa.The program is planned as follows:16:30 - Opening the doors of AXA.17:00 - Presentation of the team at the center of the lawn.17:15 - Start of heating period.18:00 - Start of the game.Before the game and the range will be the party environment. There will be interaction with the public. It is therefore important that Braga are present and be heard loud and feel this pride Gverreiro, by welcoming the 2011/12 season.We waited for everyone, because everyone will be a Legion. JUST SO ... THE JOURNEY CONTINUES.08/03/2011"

Obviously they didn't think it would take that long to get their target in.. when was AM appointed Dave?
