For me he is a smart buy. He can play in either division, and can play left back too. He isn't a starter, but good depth. 

Tammy is frustrating, but we need him. He is young, and he helped send us up. He has that potential. You could see it. He still misses loads of chances, but he gets in those spots. 

No doubt in my mind if Grealish was fit the whole season, or if we had Dean from the start, Tammy would have gotten 30 goals. 

Sign Tammy and we are set for years.

I don't want players from that club that shall not be named.

It disgusts me.

I don't care. If we got Jota and Adams, I'd be fine with it. We need to stay up, and this would be hurting the blues. Win-Win

Schick is getting better but I'm not sure he's top drawer. Roma need a rebuild and the clearing in the woods Pallotta won't be splashing big money with no Champions League football so he'll be wanting to sell to buy. That will not go down well with everyone wanting him to **** off already. Will be an interesting summer, you could force Roma's hand with cash for quite a few of the players I reckon.
 

I'm biased, but Schick is a good player. He is made for the premier league, and not Italy. He is a target striker with good feet. I think in Germany or England, he'd be a really quality signing. Plus there are rumors that Roma is willing to cut their losses on Schick. 

It’s a big risk. If we sign him for anywhere north of €20+ million, and we get relegated, we are easily losing half of that money in the future. We would need Tammy to become a good premier league striker to have any chance at making a profit down the line.

THIS.

I hate when he gets branded a "Money grabbing mercenary" or "parasite" as he really has never come off that way.

His knees are destroyed.

Apparently he also devotes alot of his time to working with the youth around the club and area and seems well liked by those at the club.

Don’t think anyone ever doubted Micah’s character. Even when we got relegated he seemed like a nice bloke and the team loved him. Only issue was when we were facing ffp issues and we had a player making £50k a week to be a motivational speaker, then we had problems. 

If Micah pursues his badges and wants to become some type of manager or physician, wouldn’t be opposed to him being at the club. But as a player, we wasted potential transfers and wages on him. 

We can sell him for more than £5 million even if we get relegated. El Ghazi was a nightmare for defenses in the championship and he is still young. This is a no brainer. 

I think we will obviously try for Tammy, but if Chelsea put up a fight, we won’t push too hard. Tammy isn’t worth the numbers being thrown around. If it’s between £20 million for Tammy or Maupay, we obviously go for Tammy. But if Chelsea want £30 million or more, we just can’t put that much money into one signing. 

I loved Tammy and think he can cut in in the premier league, but so did Kozak and Weimann. 

I think we should be looking at Schick from Roma or Belotti. 

I think he will do fine in the premier league, but I think we need to see him as a winger not a striker. He has that xfactor.

Few games this season I thought “we’ll never see him in a villa shirt again” he just looked disinterested and like a fish out of water .

somehow he’s turned it around and started to show what he’s capable off , that pace can petrify defenders , of the price is right then we should sign him 

And this is why you have to stick with youth! Green is the same way as Anwar was. There is no guarantee Green with keep developing, but we gotta give him the chance. 

206 is technically "neutral" grounds so I will be wearing a normal shirt. Can't really show my love for Villa, but I will be surround by Derby supporters since 106 and 306 is Derby's end.

I have two tickets (Club Wembley) block 207 - Derby end slightly.

If anyone wants to swap for normal two tickets in the Villa end (anywhere, don’t care), Let me know!

UTV

I'm in 206. We will stand in enemy territory and hope for the best. 

Sold out now

I'm 4228. Only 20 minutes for me. If anyone has a spare reference for my wife, I'll love you forever, and buy you a beer next time at VP.

I can buy 1 ticket tonight for myself, and 1 for my wife tomorrow. Is that a smart move, or should I just pray it makes it to tomorrow to buy tickets together?

I was hoping I could swap tickets with someone at wembley to get us together.

May aswell. Tickets on that level are £100 anyway, You get a programme, free drinks before the game, a 3 course meal, drink at halt time and free bar for an hour afterwards. You can easy get through £100 worth of drink if you're that way inclined and the meal is far better than paying £20 for a burger & chips

I agree. The tickets we were looking at would cost us a lot anyway, and this way we get security that we didn't waste a trip to london. Plus getting fed, and drinks is always a plus. Still more than I want to spend, but this is a once in a life time thing for us, so who cares about money right?

Any of you without booking references can go down the club wembley hospitality route if you're quick. It will cost you £400 but you get a good seat and it includes a meal & drinks

They don't really like football shirts being worn but it's not a suit & tie job or anything

f*ck it. I am inquiring. Already spent way too much to get to London so I need some tickets. 

Anyone know any 3rd party sites where people might be selling these? 

There are 9700 people in front of me in the queue....

I only have a booking history for 2 matches this year. Seems like I am f*cked. Well I booked my flights and hotel, so hopefully I can get tickets someway. Even if I have to book via 3rd party. I’m going to that game.

I just bought my tickets to fly to london day of. If anyone has a booking reference number i can borrow, that'd be very appreciated. I've spent $600 on flights just to get to london now, so I want to watch us play. 

These teams are desperate. Let's file an appeal against Gibbs since he should have gotten a second yellow for the pen.

Heading there in Nov. Any more to add to the above anyone?

Get a 24 hour pass. It gets you on the metro, buses, trams, boats, etc. You can get anywhere in the city easy. Public transport is cheap too. I believe it's about £3 for a 24 hour pass. 

Get a hotel outside of downtown. Because of how great the transport is, you can easily get a hotel a little out of downtown and take the metro into town. Saves a lot.

Avoid restaurants in downtown. It's over priced. Beer should cost you no more than 60 kc. That is the high end and that is basically £1-2. Most food should be below 200kc unless you go somewhere fancier. Then it will go up to 400kc which still is cheaper. 

Sites:

Vysehrad is the ruined castle. It's beautiful, and has an amazing view of the city. Nice little restaurant there too which is fair and locally owned. Recommend that. 

Letna beer garden is a hike, but another great view of the north side of the city. Plus beer there is so cheap. 

Petrin tower is a good view.

Prague castle is crowded, but fun to walk to and see. Just avoid buying anything there. ALL SCAMS. 

Charles bridge is boring. It's just a bridge with a bunch of people on it. Go ahead and walk across, but don't expect anything. 

Petrin hill is really nice. Your metro pass works on the cable car and will take you to the top. 

Waldstein Palace is a hidden gem that is right next to the castle. It's free, and has a beautiful garden. 

Just look around, and enjoy yourself. Food and beer is cheap here. Trdelnik is a scam, but tasty. That isn't czech food. That is hungarian but they are everywhere. Try some czech ghoulash, smazeny syr, parek (hot dog), and some czech beers. 

I really recommend taking the metro basically everywhere. It's so easy and saves your legs. 

Well congrats to Andy. You are officially the winner. Bob also looks like you will take 2nd unless you have a catastrophic last week and I managed to guess everything right. 

I love doing this stuff, but I'm hoping we are back in the prem next season and can go back to the old method. This felt like a chore whereas previously I liked how we were actually talking. I had to bump this from last year.
