Congratulations to the OP and the use of The Villa.
Was a proper chant backin the day.
Speaking of chants how about this it's a remake of the John Carew one:
"Jhon Duran Duran he's big as a caravan, he's Unai Emerys man Jhon Duran Duran"
He deserves his own chant after that finish against Palace. Struggling to think of a more technically brilliant control and boom into the back of the net at Villa Park and in front of the Holte.

This is great if we can just avoid naming the manager & think of something else.  Obviously want Unai to stay as long as possible but am also aware that I want to avoid the levels of confusion we are suffering in the John McGinn song at this stage!

LeeB will love that one.

He’d make a modification though. “Jhon Duran, Duran, I rent him a caravan “

Whenever I am in Vegas during the season I watch games at the Little Crown (755 Spring Mountain Rd (702) 876-4733).
They also have a bar on E Tropicana Ave which is the larger of the two pubs (you mainly get US sports on TV in there, but if you give them a call, they may set a side a screen for you.

I've been in one of those two pubs. It was the one not far from the strip on a main road. Nice little pub actually, although we chose to walk it there which nearly killed us in the heat.

The one on Tropicana is close to the Airport. We went there for the 2002 World Cup match V Argentina. We had landed that afternoon so jet-lag was fuelling us through to the 3am or so kick-off. When we left the sun was coming up and we looked and could see the hotels of the strip so decided to walk it. That was a mistake as the hotels are so big, they give a false impression of closeness and was the equivalent of walking from the city centre to Villa Park. To top it off, we were only half way back to the hotel as that was the other end of the strip.

Yes I don't find Vegas very pedestrian friendly. Loads of quite narrow walkways and up and down escalators between the hotels. As you say, the hotels are enormous, and it was a good ten minute walk from my room to the hotel reception last week. Despite everywhere looking close, it was about a half an hour walk to get up to the Encore where our mate was staying, and of course, it was chuffing hot. Luckily the taxis are quite numerous but you mainly have to get them outside a hotel (on the strip, anyway). Taxis are relatively cheap, compared to everything else in Las Vegas anyway, which is eye-wateringly expensive.

The photo of Tielemans at the top of the match day email from Villa suggests he is likely to start to me.

To save me looking, can you buy individual games on TNT2?


I believe they offer nothing less than a month. I had a look myself yesterday, no sign of anything like a day pass or the such.

The Villa Brighton game this weekend is live on TNT too so you'll at least get two games for your money.
