What a nice man he is.

I’m worried

agreed. relegation beckons. Emery is on thin ice.

If we don't beat Indonesia All-Stars and and BG Pathum United, serious questions need to be asked.

"Trying to get Madjo and 19-year-old midfielder Hemmings to listen to instructions appeared difficult with neither player following through on Emery's desire for them to pull wider."

hmmm...Probably a better way to put that. Maybe it's just something they have to work on versus they didn't listen

[Keeno]

Hemmings, Madjo, Cisse all players I want to see around the squad this season.

In Hondarribia this evening. 20km from San Sebastian. I asked in about 3 bars if the game was on TV. They didnt even know the game was on. I didnt get into the whole Walsall thing

I am so envious as I am fair way through The Rise of the Villan. There is so much in there about Irun and Hondarribia. I want to visit as soon as I can.

Beautiful town

United are not to going to smashed like a piece of glass. The Rabbits are a toughened team even if slightly tinted. They are not made of sand and are  ably managed by Vladimir Vujović. Upfront they have Surachat Sareepim a forward who has broken through the glass ceiling to become a Asiawide star.

Eloquent extended metaphor, Mr, Aftab.

However, when Hazel O-Connor wailed "I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass", she wasn't kidding around.

According to this article, Villa are taking the Europa League trophy on the tour, so fans overseas can see it and have photos taken with it;

haha...I found out after some basic research that BG Pathum United F.C. are owned by Bangkok Glass Company and actually know as Bangkok Glass Football Club. Thus the heavily relied upon glass metaphor.

It should be an easy win for the Villa, but we'll likely be shattered after the long flights.

Yeah, could easily get steamed up if we're not careful.

Is this where the cracks appear in our pre-season

[Small Rodent]

Hazel O'Connor never, ever, sang I Love The Sound of Breaking Glass. It was Nick Lowe.
