Aston Villa manager Remi Garde watched his side lose 3-0 to the club's U21 development team in a behind closed doors match at their Bodymoor Heath training ground last Friday.

Villa first-team players Brad Guzan, Alan Hutton, Ciaran Clark, Kieran Richardson, Ashley Westwood, Jordan Veretout, Idrissa Gueye, Leandro Bacuna and Scott Sinclair all featured in the match, which offered little to please Garde.

wow


Does anyone know the starting 11 for the U21s

It's either a morale boosting win for the Under 21's or proof we can even lose against ourselves.

Is there any chance we could line up a morale boosting friendly against this lot?

Apparently the article says we fielded '11 Premier League stars', which is obviously bullshit.

rehash of a very old joke.

Remi Garde has set up a friendly match against Iceland to try boost team morale and cheer the fans up...


If we beat them then we go on to play Tesco's and then Sainsbury's.

I was behind Remi Garde going through security at Birmingham airport on Friday lunchtime - had to ask if he has left this watch in onw of the trays you put your hand luggage on  - wasn't his - but another french bloke's that he appeared to be travelling with.

Was tempted to ask if he was just off home for the weekend, had been sacked or he had just walked out.

He looked very relaxed for somebody who had just seen his team lose to the kids. Maybe he will play the kids at Stoke.

On a more serious note, seeing how rubbish we have been this season I do have to wonder why we haven't seen any of the youngsters feature in the first team.

The sort of result that happens at training grounds on a weekly basis I suspect but another opportunity for the media to poke fun while we stay silent.

The majority of the U21's are playing tonight so what the first team played against is anyone's guess.
