Villa announce friendly against German side Werder Bremen

[not3bad]

PAUL Lambert’s German connections are already being put to good use with Aston Villa arranging a pre-season at Werder Bremen for Saturday, August 11.

Lambert, who won the Champions League with Borussia Dortmund and returned to the country to complete his coaching badges, has organised the practice match against last season’s ninth-placed Bundesliga team.

Villa will travel to face Werder Bremen at the Weserstadion on Saturday, August 11, with kick off at 6pm local time.

Lambert’s claret and blues were scheduled to play a friendly at Molineux that day, but Wolves asked to cancel the game because of their Capital One Cup commitments.

The Championship club have arranged their home tie against Aldershot in the newly-named League Cup that afternoon.

Villa are not due to play any home friendlies this season because Villa Park is hosting the Community Shield between Premier League champions Manchester City and FA Cup winners Chelsea on Sunday, August 12.

A busy pre-season programme kicks off with a trip to Burton on Saturday, July 14 (3pm) and also includes friendlies at Peterborough on Wednesday, August 1 (7.45pm) and Nottingham Forest on Saturday, August 4 (3pm).

Villa will play three games during their US tour later this month, taking on Philadelphia Union on Wednesday, July 18, Chicago Fire on Saturday, July 21 anf Portland Timers on Tuesday, July 24, with each match starting at 7.30pm local time.

Friendlies can sometimes be made as part of a transfer deal. I wonder...?

just think back a mere two months to the fear and horror displayed by some posters at the mere thought that Karl Henry could be joining us. How times have changed!

I know there are thousands of rumours every year, and most of them are utter nonsense, but even taking that into account, I struggle to think of a rumour regarding us in the last five years that worried me more than the thought that:

1. McLeish would still be here.
2. He'd sign Karl Henry.

Annoyingly, I am going to Bremen in August for the first time in my life and will miss the game by five days.

Thought we were playing Wolves that day? Or did someone forget they got relegated and start a week earlier than us?

Maybe we've sold Gabby to Bremen?

Tell Man City and Chelsea to sod off and play at the Sty and move the WB game to Villa Prk

It's to replace the Wolves game, as they are playing first round of Capital cup or whatever it's called now
