I'll be in the upper holte for my first home game of the season! I think if we keep it tight in the first 15minutes we will run away with it winning with a 2 goal difference....would love to end the no clean sheet run! See you guys there!

Clean sheet!? Really!? Waaahhhh

Wow just watched Gardner's free kick on sky sports news! Hope he can stay fit this season and get more games under his belt! Over the moon with this score line!

Love to see a win and a clean sheet tidy! Looks like we're doing the biz as normal going forward, fingers crossed we can keep it tight at the back! Think a clean sheet in pre-season will do them the world of good! Really excited to see grealish play, heard nothing but good things bout him on here! Love how people slate agbonlohor, love him I do, he's alway there when we need him, if only every player was as loyal as gabby!

Happy days! Now to start playing the final 11 for last few friendlys! So they can get a feel.

I would love a 2-0 Villa, but I'm going with a 2-2!

Man United have lost 2 of their 3 pre season games this season. They will probably still walk the league. QPR were unbeaten in pre season last year. Still got relegated and didn't win a games for like 10 games. Calm down. Our best players are injured right now. If our main first team lost, then i'd start to worry. Only thing that bothers me is the defensive mistakes. Yes we have players injured but this will also occur in season which we will then have to turn to a lot of the lads who has played the last few friendlies. I'm not pressing the panic button but I think there is a lot of villa fans going around forums and Facebook with too much of a result doesn't matter attitude. Lets not hide the fact that we've played 5 really poor teams and won 0 games. I'm a very positive thinking person but let's not hide the problems but rather address them.

Am I the only one who gets bothered by everyone who says dont worry its a friendly, results don't matter. 5 games, 4 draws, 1 loss and 0 clean sheets are terrible stats you can't ignore. Whether a premiership player or a Sunday football player you gain confidence from good performances an winning games, you need to get something from pre-season and a win and a clean sheet is much needed! Yes we have injuries and we are experimenting but Luton? As a premiership team we should be able to send our youth team to Luton and come back with a result. We need a winning mentality, and we shouldn't like to lose friendly or not, that is what is installed into every successful team, athlete! We have played poor teams so that we can purposely experiment and gain fitness whilst still coming away with results, but we fail with the later. What's everyone else think? P.s I'm not a fickle fan, I've been a fan since the age of 6, go to most home games and love what lambert is doing, but to me results do matter regardless!

My names Adam (better known as Douggie) I'm 25 and have been a villa fan from the early age of 5 when a regular (called clacka) in my mom and dads pubs brought me my first villa shirt and starting dragging me to the games! It's since then I grew love for villa and have never looked back. I use to regularly go to games until I played Saturday football myself at the age of 14-20 but since finishing have again been a regular holte end attendee! I will no doubt be seeing my fair share of villa games this season as well! So that's a little about me......now what's everyone's predictions for this season!? I personally still think a lot relies on what happens with benteke. If we do lose him then i think wee need at least one of our new singing to quickly turn into a gem Personally I am a bit gutted with how he has handled it, repaying PL's faith and the fans faith in him by handing in a transfer request!
