If he is I hope it goes to Abu Dhabi where the game is, and not Dubai.

Will the winners be crowned the real Villa?

Bit worried for this one, looking at the weather.

It's going to be bloody cold. I'd bought tickets but then realised it's our work do that night, kind of glad it is now.

BBC are saying -2 at kick-off.

I can’t remember the year, but I remember Anfield when we were getting hammered and it was -3 and that was evil. I think it was the birth of “let’s pretend we scored a goal”. Could barely feel my feet.

I’m looking forward to the game though and a rare seat in the Trinity. Think the last time I was in that stand was the league cup loss to QPR under O’Neil. Though annoyingly since they’ve opened up the upper Holte and I could have had my own seat.  >:(

I appreciate the show of confidence but it's a bit patronising of Unai to give his old team a 2 goal start.

I’m unenthusiastic for friendly games in the middle of summer so definitely can’t be bothered to drag myself out in the cold for an evening kick off in December.

I gave up on pre-season games a few years ago, but at least those have the attraction of seeing some new signings in action.

Same. Far too cold and don't fancy driving home at 11pm in the freezing fog either.

I live less than 3 miles from Villa Park. There's no way I'm being prized away from the fireside for that.
