I can imagine it now if we lose our first game. 'We' d have won that if we hadnt spent pre-season arsing around with Koala Bears'.

I'm not concerned, I seem to recall us doing okay when we signed David Platypus.

Rennais sold out to season ticket holders. There are some returns but they are still only available to Season Ticket holders.

Question re Australia match pack: Does anyone know if the £17.99 quoted for the match pack includes fans who are already subscribed to Villa TV? Not very clear in the publicity. Not keen on an early Sunday morning alarm only to find I still have to pay nearly 20 quid.

Pissing about with Koala bears whilst the zone 6 proletariat are rapaciously fleeced.

It wasn’t in the published pics, but I’m pretty sure Emi and McGinn were feeding those koalas twenty pound notes and laughing hysterically.

I'm very disappointed that none of the players didn't pop along to Walsall Arboretum after the game on Saturday. A missed opportunity to extend our fan base in that part of the world.

You would think the normal response would be 'ooh look at his little face' or 'i want one of those' rather than 'fucking hell, look at that bunch of slackers fannying about with the local wildlife when they should be running up a hill'.

I'm blaming it on Kate Bush being fashionable again.

In my book Kate Bush was never unfashionable.

I wonder how much it's costing the club to jet a squad plus staff in business class over to Australia?

I doubt even the zone 6 price increase would cover it.



We're owned by two billionaires.

The cost is absolutely a drop in the ocean to them.

Yeah but what about the carbon-cost?

Admittedly, that part had slipped my mind :)

Saw the photos of Spurs pre-season training in Thailand? yesterday, looked as though most of the players were collapsed on side of the pitch through exhaustion.

Hopefully our trip to Australia will benefit the group with a lot of hard work and not just taking photos in the usual tourist hot spots,
don't want to read on here that the players don't look fit when the season starts.

Bit of a difference training in Thailand in July and training in Australia in July. About 15 degrees minimum.

The pics on the official site from today show Davis in the pool with Luis and Buendia, although can’t see him on the pitch photos.

Also Konsa is doing keepy-uppies, so that seems promising for a speedy return.
