Change the title time............. Villa kids wins!!

Who needs Buffon and Del Piero when you've got Guzan and Albrighton!! Amazing stuff from our kids tonight....Still can't beleive the likes of Barry Bannon & Shane Lowry beat Buffon... it's hilarious! Serves him right though...was looking way too cocky before the penalty shoot out!!

Brilliant!! Fortune favours the brave or what?!!!!

Hats off to our youngsters.....we've taken the mighty Juventus...with some top class players to extra time... whatever the result absolutely brilliant effort... Bannan has looked bright since he came on...and Albrighton has just been class all night again.

I see the scenery is mentioned already by Sir Jack!!

OT but Talking of unusual combinations someone gave me a piece of organic chocolate with chilli a couple of weeks ago... It was absolutely delicious. I was shocked.

Clark nearly scored as well - hit the bar with a scorching header! I'm only teasing but tx goodness some on VT get it totally wrong with their predictions.....

He's playing rather well isn't he the younger Brad?!

Heskey will have been getting some racist abuse methinks to have reacted the way he did... Absolutely awful play acting though on the other players part!!

But nevertheless you WILL here the Spanish commentators actually mention whose kicking the ball more times than Sir Jack EVER mentions when he's on the OS Live commentary! "Oh the sky giving a lovely blue contrast to the green pitch on this warm & sunny night...... the beer was good last night wasn't it????!!!.. ohhhhh we've scored!!"...

I know it's only half time but what happened to your total pessimism and a heavy defeat Troglodyte??? ...and BTW did you happen to pick any anti depressants for me on the way back from KFC???!!! :winkold:

Oh great....I've got loads of stress on currently and this is EXACTLY what I needed to read?? I was actually looking forward to tonight's game after keeping an eye on cricket at Edgbaston today.. Oh well.... :bonk:

Parma Violets are disgusting....they taste like perfume..or like Risso said an Old Lady's Handbag! YUK!!!

Well done lads!! That was a very decent 2nd half performance With all the doom & gloom on VT about No signings et al! It goes completely unnoticed that we have one of THE BEST ACADEMIES in the Country!!.. FACT.... Our reserves & Youth have been conquering all before them in the main for a few years now...& winning trophies so really none of us should be surprised how good they are. We had a taste last year in Moscow

I'll tell you what the future is Al...Bright..on... That was a brilliant bit of a play & a fabulous cross from the youngster... 3-1...Come on!!

Can't beleive some of the over reactions to a pre season work out, in extremely high temperatures, however I do agree with this statement. The commentator in one of his more lucid moments did correctly mention the fact that all the forwards last night were given nothing to feed off, so there was little surprise we created hardly any chances! When this happens Carew (& Gabby for that matter) drop far too back....it happened time & time again in last few seasons.... We do need to add some more guile to our midfield IMO. as others have said, with that killer pass. Downing may be an option but as it looks like he'll be this years Xmas present, and not much before, then MON should consider some more options.

Erm slight over reaction there methinks!! Wasn't pretty tonight...but heck it's preseason and it was almost 40 degrees...would have been a good work out for everyone though!

The young lads look well up for this game....pity about the seniors!!

Yes I just caught a glimpse of Walsall V West Brom on SSN a few minutes ago, which was played earlier & thought... I'm going to miss my annual pilgrimage to the Bescot to watch the friendly V the lesser Yam Yams!

Who the hell is Caaaar -ew... It's prounounced KA-RU

Petrov looks good again,,,,,spraying a few passes from midfield.

Heskey's injured already!

I'm watching the cricket but & trying to keep up to date with this game as well.

Eagle Eye is good, watched that on plane... Signs was on last night... I don't like watching films normally I've seen before... But for some peculiar reason... I love that film... I'm a big fan of science fiction and it's just a great story.
