Pre-Season Friendlies 2012

[Mazrim]

Ive seen more pass and move in pre season so far than I did all last season. Encouraging.

[Mazrim]

Nice goal. Great cross.

[Dave Cooper please]

Maz, can I dirct you to here
Unless you are being deliberately belligerent of course!

[olaftab]

Who to and who scored?

[PeterWithesShin]

Please use the match thread folks. 1-0 Villa, Gabby.

[Toronto Villa]

Good display again and we tried to play the game properly throughout. Lads ran out of gas in the second half and their extra fitness started to tell. Lots of positives again and the defence looks so much more organised than at any time last year. Let's all hope Gabby coming off isn't serious and he'll be back training soon.

You can also show me a league game where we've ever made ten substitutions at half-time.

I will ... Just after I have shown you a video of penguins being eaten by polar bears.

Shocking! Is there nothing sacred anymore?

[Dave Cooper please]

Marvellous! A geographically incorrect cake.

[Mazrim]

It's possible in a poorly secured Zoo I suppose.

[Toronto Villa]

Watching PSG vs Chelsea. 1-0 to PSG right now after they walked through the Chelsea defence.

Portland Timbers and the Villa connection.

[peter w]

Great stuff I'm now a Portland Timbers fan.

[DeKuip]

Me too now.

Good to see Willie Anderson again – in the six-yard too, he rarely came that far in from the wing when he played!

[pauliewalnuts]

I had no idea there was such a connection. I too shall make them my MLS team of interest.

Another Timbers fan here!
