The USA Tour Thread

[Toronto Villa]

Usual crap.

That's the spirit.

It brings some balance to Toronto's prozac fed mumblings.

No. Just calling out the positives as they present themselves. I'm sure had we lost or just played poorly I'd not have posted that. That's what I'd normally consider as balanced observation.

And Randy Lerner's there as well.

Is that Randy's new 'bird?'
Looks like she has a massive tattoo on her leg?
I wonder if randy made her get a villa lion done to match his?

The Mail's photo gallery best shot was the progamme sellers 

The car park when Randy arrived was pretty empty, perhaps most of the fans walked to the ground!!

Looking like another astute buy.

After game comments by Lambert following the same pattern as last season.

How Villa perform against Stoke will be a better measure of our hopes for the new season rather than playing an MLS team.

Even by our standards slagging a signing because the manager might not risk him in one pre-season friendly is good going.

It's getting to the point for some where saying something negative has replaced not saying anything at all. And God forbid they go as far and try and find a positive.

Randy's girl friend looks a bit skinny. I hope he took her to Burger King after the game.

A bit obvious Boz!

The pre-season games are to get the players match-fit and playing together successfully. If that works out we'll be in a better situation than if we'd lost all of the pre-season games and looked completely lost.
One step at a time, and yes, the Stoke game will be a better measure...as it will be for Stoke too.
Don't think Lambert's gonna change the way he talks up every game...that's his style, whether we like it or not.
UTV!

TBAR is thinking that is Micky Arison with Randy? Looks like his wife too?

[olaftab]

Good result, stayed up like a true supporter and followed every kick live during the night.
Mods....why have you deleted all my match comments ?

No worries I red dem b4 dem mods chew dem up. U write gud massive respect.

Good to see Lerner showing his face at a Villa game.

Even better to see was the legs on his bird. Highlight of the night.

Guck me she's got legs? Strange woman!

Godawful tattoo on one of them, mind.

Sorry for you, Olaftab if you don't see it but I'm a bit of a leg man. The longer the better.

Decent showing.  We looked good the counter, and the shape of the team pretty good, with some encourging performances, the best being from Grealish who looks a really prospect, think he can be a good player at both ends.  We were still a bit sloppy at times in prosession, and the back four once again looked shaky.  But am pretty pleased overall.  I say get past this tour, and then start giving the new signings more minutes a head of the season.

Rumour has it that Randy didn't come to VP while I was manager because he didn't want me stealing his woman.

Randy didn't come to Villa Park during your tenure because of the mind-bendingly shit football you had us playing.

No offence, Ads, but you made McLeish's Villa look like Cruyff era Ajax.

I shouldn't have done that fist pump after the 0-0 with Southampton.
