  1. Overall not a bad performance for a first pre-season game. Decent movement in most places and some players looking sharper than others. It is great to see Darren Bent back in a Villa shirt and scoring goals. He positional play in the 18 yard box was top drawer and he looked hungry for goals. Weimann playing up top with him looked good as well. He is obviously more comfortable playing there. Zogbia needs to shed a bit of timber ha ha ha but looked ok. Hutton did one or two good things but I am not going to be convinced that he is a better choice that Lowton over the season. Richardson surprised me. His energy levels were immense and he never stopped. Also looked a better player than I had ever given him credit for. Clark and Baker worry me a bit though against big lumps of centre forwards so lets hope Vlaar and Okore stay fit (or with the club in the former's case). Bennett didnt do anything although I do hope he gets a chance this year and the fans dont destroy his confidence after his first mistake (he will make one!) Did Tonev play ??? Must of missed that ! Great to see Gardner back as well. He looked good but needs a few games at prem level to get his sharpness back. It was a shame Jack G didnt get on but 2 games in 2 days might be too much just now I guess. Overall though like I said, a decent enough first game for pre season. Decent beer in the Talbot Pub just up the road as well. Cheers Mansfield. It was emotional! PS. Mansfield Bus Station - If you dont want people walking on the road where the buses are then put a bloody path there and not a little hitler with a high vis jacket !!!
  2. Wonder if there are any plans to expand into the women's leagues.
  3. Text from my mate saying "this IS going to happen".
  4. Mate of mine who works for Chesterfield FC says this is likely to happen.
  5. Spoke to a chap in the Macron store in Castleford round the corner from our office and they arent stocking the kits. Apparently you can only get them from Villa shops or online.
  6. They are available on Villa online store now... with prices, etc. £50 !!!! Fifty effing quid for a shirt !! Thats a piss take no matter who is making the bloody thing !!! Its going to cos me approx £208 just for shirts / kits !!! No wonder our season tickets are so cheap the bloody % margin on the kits must be 500%
  7. O'Neill is insane, we all questioned the decision. Interesting(i mean heartbreaking) how many recent departures have won honours since leaving us. Downing, Milner and Barry, Cahill. Cahill demanded first team football. He wasn't good enough for it at the time. We didn't want to sell him, but he wanted to leave. It was the right decision at the time. That's slightly wrong. He didnt want to leave at all. He did want to play first team football but didnt demand it and was even happy to go out on loan but MON wouldnt let him so he sold him. Trust me (im not a doctor but I do know Gaz personally)
  8. Well I know that isn't accurate for a start. Its the same information I got from a Macron shop near my office in Castleford. Not stocking Villa products and the only place to get them will be via the club.
  9. I have no real pre conceptions about who supplies the kit. Nike and Umbro are pretty much the same company. Macron might do a good job on the kit and if it looks good then I will buy it. One interesting point though is that my office is 10 minutes from the Macron store in Wakefield and I asked them if they would be getting any Villa merchandise in store. Their reply was that AVFC themselves would be solely responsible for distributing the kit and other items and therefore it would not be in the Macron shops. If thats 100% true then does that mean I cant buy any villa stuff from anywhere apart from Villa Village / On-line or the store in Birmingham (assuming its still there) Thats not great really !!
