Pre-season 2023/24

Oh and Chambers.

[nigel]

I can get used to this. I’ve decided the Emery bloke can stay for a bit longer

Give him the Newcastle game.

We’ll have to be careful or that lot across the city might make him an offer he can’t refuse now they’re massive again

[Beard82]

I must say the graphic design we have on our numbers, and are twitter posts is really, really bad

Chambers has looked a lot better on the ball in pre-season.

[Dogtanian]

They can’t deal with Coutinho.

[Bad English]

Have to say, the shirt looks lovely at a distance and sans sponsor

Close up it’s absolutely wringing wet with sweat. Terrible to play in.

And here is me thinking that  these hi-tech 150 pound 'pro' shirts were made to play top-level sport with sweat management and all sorts.

Against Lazio I could sort of convince myself the result was partly because they are a week behind us in preparation for the next season, with Serie A not starting till the 19th.  But La Liga starts next weekend, same as us, so fitness wise we should be the same.  And though Valencia aren't a top Spanish team these days, we're making them look average.

Liquid football

Played really well against Lazio

4th official in jeans and a tee shirt

[JUAN PABLO]

Had to be a yellow


Couts looking good

[Nev]

They're trying to wring Phil's shirt out for him...

[Garyth]

Philogene looking good tonight.

[Proposition Joe]

They can’t deal with Coutinho.

Blimey, if he is going to be somewhere approaching his best this season, who knows what the ceiling is*.

* = and of course the seasoned Villa fan in me says avoiding relegation by a good 3 points instead of 1

Lovely ball from Dougie.
