Pre-Season Friendlies

Am I getting older or are Villa players getting younger? (John Terry aside)

I thought the same. They look like 5th years going on a school trip.

As we get older the players now do look start to look like schoolkids. But why do the pictures of players from the 60s/70s still look like men ?

Not really surprised about Tshibola not travelling but I am with McCormack unless he's injured.

There really must be some kind of issue with Tshibola.  I find it surprising as Steve Clarke worked with him at Reading and he would have been signed on his recommendation.  If it is an attitude problem as opposed to an ability one, then I struggle to see why Clarke would have recommended him.

He prays to God, he must be a good lad.

Aston Villa v MSV Duisburg 12pm – 45min game
Hertha Berlin v Malaga 1pm – 45min game
3rd v 4th place play-off 2pm – 45min game
Final 3pm – 45min game

I know it's only pre-season but I'm kind of excited about potentially being in a final at 3pm today.

Bit of a lively start, almost scored there

[Matt Collins]

Where's the commentary?

We have started well though these were third tier last season

Whose the tiny no 29 for us?

[jwarry]

Great save by Steer there, think it's Steer?

[Matt Collins]

I think It's Johnstone?

They look quite nifty in attack but less good at the back

[jwarry]

Elmo surprisingly good in the air

[The Edge]

[The Edge]

It's Johnstone
