I cant see how well the bodycams would catch on though. It's really difficult to see what's actually happening, makes you motion sick, and the arms in front make it look comical.

It's interesting I think if there is a controversy and they want all the footage and angles they can, but I'm not sure the broadcasters will be wanting to show too much of that footage during a match.

Whatever next ? In game player interviews ? It's happened in golf so why not ? Quick interview with the keeper if there's say a corner up the other end

Our Saudi friends may have a solution for this

Highlight videos being taken down.

I found this one
&ab_channel=PremierLeague

Don't know how they can put a highlights package together and not include Kellyman's one-on-one, especially since they included Buendia's one that would have been his hat-trick.

Unai Emery is preparing to be without Alex Moreno and Jacob Ramsey for the entirety of August.

Bertrand Troare will be ready in three weeks' time, while Emery hopes to welcome Jhon Duran back to training after the tour of the USA. Leon Bailey arrives in the States on Thursday.

The official sky sports highlights seems to have been taken from an awful stream but has the only the goals AND the chance at the end.

The Premier League have released some bodycam footage from a camera that Guimaraes was wearing last night, makes interesting viewing.

I saw that Tielemans had one on also - originally i thought it was that Vic vapour rub Merson used to wear

Whatever will they think up next - a camera in the ball*

Quick summary...
Very good attacking from 1st XI, less so from the youngsters. We looked capable of scoring each time we went forward.
The problems were Carlos and Olsen in the 2nd half. Kamara didn't help. Diego was Curtis Davis poor.
Great to see so many Villa shirts at the stadium.
Special mention for the a-hole stewards trying to push the kids out after the game as they were waiting for autographs by the tunnel.

I read on Twitter (or whatever the fuck it is called today) that at these matches inside the stadium they're charging $18 a beer and $9 for water.

Clearly, they've gone and done a proper job of adapting to the Premier League.

Buendia on the one-on-one: “I think I should have scored another one in the second half but I hadn’t been in that situation too often, so I didn’t know what to do.

“I’ll keep training those situations so that I can score the next one. I’m happy with the game today.”

Whaaaaat? Not been in a one-on-one very often? Fuck me, just stick it int net lad.

It was $40 to park, $13.50 for a domestic and I think $16-18 for an import.

Lots of home jerseys sold as well - its not that bad in person.

I wonder how much the Premier League are paying the club for helping to 'spread the gospel' ?

Yeah, the food and drink was extortionate. We paid $40 to park too.
I saw them selling Villa shirts for $120.
The fan zone was ok, kept my daughter happy for a while especially the 2v2 game we played.
