The one time/day I did not expect it to get moved to.

Any idea when they'll make the announcement about moving this one?

 

Am eager to know this too as I can’t book any flights until it is announced, leaving it very late in the day with the announcement, you’d imagine it will be moved to the Sunday. 

Need him back asap, any chance of him making the bench on Sunday? 

Please be adidas, they make the best gear imo. 

Anyone take Summerville and Gray at Leeds?

Is this staying as a Saturday 3pm?

No idea, no announcement yet, I would be surprised if it doesn’t get moved for a tv slot. 

Thanks lads, roll the dice kind of job!

This is down for 3pm on Saturday as things stand, I don’t see any European fixtures that could move it to a Sunday but does anyone know when we will know if it’s been moved for tv? Just trying to plan a trip. Thanks

I wonder if he’s going to be happy with just having the last 10 mins every match!

He will get plenty of game time, can’t drop any of our midfield at the minute and I’m sure he’s professional enough to accept it. Injuries/suspensions will come and he’s a great replacement to have when that time comes.

I'd be all over Walker Peters tbh

Yeah I’d love if we signed him, he’s quality.

The high line isnt that much of a problem is the shit mistakes we are making

It was one game, they have a week to sort it and I trust Emery will. Fans need to relax, yesterday was a one off(I hope) 

Absolutely gutted for Mings, he’s a huge huge loss to the team.

It was one time in 30 odd years living there 

Yeah Dublin has many problems. Wearing colours in the city would not be high on the list at all.

Once I got chased by a bluenose on Harcourt Street , luckily he was too hammered to catch up

You got unlucky then! In general I would say absolutely no issues wearing colours in Dublin City.

Cheers, any other pubs near Trinity hotel that would be a good place to go? Woolshed doesn’t look far but want to stay within a quick walk in case I need to run back to help with the kids. 
 
Shouldn’t be any problems wearing Villa gear?

Doyle’s pub is very close to your hotel and is a good spot, absolutely no issue with colours in Ireland, wear what ya like!

So, there's a kit thread each year, but I thought a thread for Villa merchandise, both past and present, official and unofficial, would make for a good read. 

I'll start with this deliciously shit homage to our GK kit that I've just picked up...

Just not the same without all the badges, sponsor etc!

Under Emery I’m confident we can gain a positive result in any game now and be correctly prepared for every game. This will be a really tough opener though and they’ll be looking for revenge from the Villa Park game in April.

I don’t see many risks with the formation or personnel for this one and our new recruits will get plenty of games/minutes over the next few games. However, Tielemans can consider himself very unlucky not to start our season opener:

                             Martinez

    Cash       Konsa           Mings       Digne

                   Kamara         Luiz

        McGinn                         Buendia

                  Diaby      
                                   Watkins

Subs:  Olsen, Pau, Carlos, Chambers, Dendoncker, Tielemans, Coutinho, Bailey, Archer. 

I’m going with a mad 2-2 draw, but I also think we could take this 2-3.  UTV

Would be my team also, very risky throwing Torres in away at Newcastle; ease him into the side, this is one of the toughest away fixtures of the season imo so I would go with tried and trusted. 
 

Not entirely sure what to expect from Newcastle, so I’m going to say 2-1 Villa win. Diaby and Watkins to get the goals

I bought two tickets today in the Upper Holte, thanks to two beautiful, wonderful, extraordinary season ticket holders who sold their tickets back to the club.

 

You both did very well, fair play!

Its definitely an upgrade on Buskers 

For sure, just the area where the woolshed is wouldn’t be my cup of tea. Given it’s a 530pm ko every pub will be showing it anyway. 

Think they’ve moved to the woolshed? Big sports bar, not in the nicest of spots but bouncers on the door so you should be grand! 
 

edit found the pic I saw last week which confirms new venue 

It would appear this is a sellout unsurprisingly. 

Should be a cracking atmosphere, serious buzz about the club now with Emery leading the charge.

Very annoying, just cost me another 80 quid on flights

Why is it we make such a big deal about a kit launch? Seems like other clubs just release it and it’s not a big deal, the fact we drag it out so long probably doesn’t help I guess.
