Doesn't look like Amadou is watching the Columbus Crew tactics video Emery had loaded to all the iPads.

Looking slightly further ahead to the pre season game in Dortmund on Aug 9th. Does anyone know how many of our 3,308 ticket allocation we have sold for this game so far?

Looking at the photos of the lads sat on the plane to the US, it wouldn稚 shock me if Emery drew up the seating plan. Positioning players next to each other to develop language skills. Set them homework via video analysis of future opponents. Down time is Football Manager or quizzes about tactical formations and when to use the press or low block.

I知 reminded of school trips (usually on a coach) and that brilliant Willy Russell play/film when the kids liberate a penguin from the zoo.

I had forgotten when we signed Onana that he would know Tielemans from the international team, and also Dobbin from Everton.

I know we've got a few new faces in, but most of them are coming in knowing someone pretty well, which has to help with settling in.

I hope the squad look happier when they land in the US than they did last year.

Going the Columbus game this Saturday, can't f'n wait, my first live Villa game since covid!

We're driving over Friday/Saturday from CT (ca. 10 hours), then heading back in time to get to NJ on Wednesday. Daughter and I are very excited to see the boys again - we saw them in Philly last year, which was the first time she had seen them live.

Safe travels to all.

I doubt BC will be able to make it.

Apparently Youri helped convince him to join us.
