Walsall vs Aston Villa Pre-season friendly

[SashasGrandad]

I apologise for the Alan Hutton/Proclaimers song. First chant I've ever started, he seemed to enjoy it.

Which song? Didn't come through the stream. He seemed very happy overall today.

Proclaimers 500 miles song - the "da da da" bit after the chorus.  Insert Alan Hutton instead of the "da da da"!!

Sick of hearing that song after a week at Hampden Park for the CG. Bit of a come down to experience the Villa at Bescot.

Did anybody else on here try "The Legends Bar" in the Community stand last night?
I was expecting it to be quite a nice place befitting the clubs legends, instead it seemed like a long air raid shelter with a bar the size of a corner shop counter.
All the beer was canned or bottled not a pump in sight. And the two ladies serving were busy ripping open four packs of Carling, probably bought on special offer from Morrisons and then then flogging it off at four quid a can.
Oh and there was one picture of a legend in there........Ray Graydon.
I thought I'd mention this because I've got nothing to add about last nights match that hasn't already been said.
Oh and there was a smoking room in there, but confusingly it had a sign on the door saying disabled toilet.

Mr Lambert didn't give a post match interview last night and there are no quotes from him about the game on Pravda.

He has clearly, definitely, been sacked and a billion dollar takeover must be imminent.

Let the good times roll!

Gordon Cowans said hello to me. I nearly bowed.

The away supporters' bar is a always a highlight of playing Walsall. Loads of room for us and a decent choice of beer at a good price - I paid £2.40 for a pint of M&B Mild and a bit more for a pint of hand pulled Long Man bitter - both pretty good and a sight better than the choice we get at VP. My cheese and onion cob was £1!
Puts us to shame!

No pictures of Ray Graydon though!
;-)
UTV!

Forgot to add TLP - avoid the Legends' Bar next time!

Whaddyamean nearly?!

One of their players was on the same train as me on the way to the game.  I didn't even twig that he was a Walsall player even though he was kitted out in a tracksuit with a Walsall badge until a fan asked for his autograph outside the ground.  It would seem that luxury cars at this level of the game are something of a rarity.

Is the lad who won their MOM award the son of Mark Kinsella?  He was presented with a bottle of Champagne after the game.  He looked old enough to be doing his GCSEs next year.

Yes it is. First name Liam by the way.

Did he point a lot? If so he would be related.
