  1. The only thing for me worrying in the back of my mind. I don't think it is because of this but until the 1st of September or next weeks match comes it will still be a worry.

    The 3 players left out the squad Luke Young, Ash Young and Petrov are 3 players who have been linked else where.

    My mate raised this point about the main players left behind are all linked with clubs in europe!.. Surely not i hope... :shock:
  2. i personally think we are going to get battered with that team.

    i am in favour of resting the likes of ashley young and carew but why not just put them on the bench?

    My thoughts to, I just hope its not a right royal hiding and the young lads dont get a major confidence knock.

    I really thought we would take this serious and play a strong team so we qualify to the group stages, Then play the kids to give them valuable experience and earn a few Million quid we so well need along the way.

    But what do i no... Lets get there first and not **** it up at the first attempt... **** fed up with it all to be honest...

  3. The bookies at work spotted the Ladbrokes prices on the draw and Vienna. Not bad prices, but I'd rather come home with a lead.
    I reckon they will be as short as 7/4-13/8 come kick off... maybe as low as 6/4...
  4. If i didnt support the villa i would be smashing into ladbrokes 12/5 on offer for vienna, even the draw is 12/5.

    You could put 500 on each bet and still make £700 profit, works out 8/11 for vienna and the draw... Printing Money!..

  5. Put another £4-5million on milners tag or sue the shite out of city, its less than ideal infact its suicidal to help strengthen a rival

    Chelsea-Man utd are not rivals so if he has to be sold to balance the books offer him to them!

    NEVER EVER EVER SELL TO LIVERPOOL, SPURS, MAN CITY!!!!!!!!! Just look at sir alex's strategy and where its got man utd...

    I would even even add arsenal to that list so milk the savage bastards for everything they got sir!..

    PS...

    Great quote from randy...

    A so-called caretaker manager went on for the Villa to win the European Cup!..

    Give the man the job is all you need to do...

  6. Anyone translate this?..

    "The Hunter" Tetap di Milan

    MILAN,(GM)-

    Klass-Jan Huntelaar baru-baru ini diberitakan akan hengkang ke Premier League musim depan. Agen si pemain menegaskan itu hanyalah rumor dan kliennya akan bertahan di AC Milan. Selama bergabung dengan "Rossonerri", Huntelaar belum menunjukkan performa sebagus yang ia tampilkan ketika masih bersama Ajax.

    Makanya masa depan pemuda Belanda ini lantas dispekulasikan. Klub-klub dari Liga Inggris menjadi pemburu utama Huntelaar. Di samping Tottenham Hotspur dan Aston Villa, Manchester City dan Manchester United (MU) belakangan yang paling sering dikaitkan dengan dia. Laporan terakhir menyebutkan bahwa Huntelaar telah berada di Kota Manchester untuk membicarakan masalah transfer.

    Tetapi sejauh ini belum ada langkah konkret yang dilakukan MU maupun City. "Tidak ada tawaran dari klub mana pun di Premier League. Saya sudah membaca di banyak koran, tetapi itu hanya rumor," kata Arnold Oosterveer, agen Huntelaar di Sport. (B.98/detiksport)**

  7. For all the golden days he enjoyed there, there is one regret which has eaten away at John Carew ever since he left Valencia.

    The Villa striker will be reunited with his former employers for the first time since leaving Spain on Friday when they face off in a friendly at Villa Park for Martin O’Neill’s men’s last game before the start of the new campaign.

    Carew has been looking forward to the match since it was arranged with the Norway star having enjoyed four years at the Mestalla during a successful spell which saw them crowned kings of Spain for the first time in 31 years.

    But after agonisingly missing out on club football’s biggest prize of all, the Champions League – to Bayern Munich via penalties in 2001 – Carew can’t help but feel his time there was tinged with regret.

    “I had some of the best memories of my career at Valencia,” he said. “We had a fantastic team at the time. We were Champions League contenders every year.

    “We were playing against the best teams in Europe every year and beating most of them. It was fantastic.

    “The memory which sticks with me most is of course the Champions League final. We played a great game that night but unfortunately we lost on penalties. We had led in the game. It was devastating.

    “It would have meant so much to have a Champions League medal. It’s the biggest prize in club football.

    “At the time I was hoping I’d get another chance again. I played in some great games, but unfortunately I don’t have a medal.

    “Valencia was probably the strongest team in Europe 10 years ago. We won the Spanish league and that was the best league in the world at the time.

    “They got to the final of the Champions League two seasons in a row. It’s something I’m very proud about.”

    Carew, who arrived in the Midlands in 2007, is looking forward to catching up with some of his old team-mates and says it is vital Villa face top-notch opposition to sharpen them up for Premier League combat.

    “I think Vicente, Albelda and Marchena are still there, they were all top players and that is the sort of opposition you want to be coming up against in pre-season.

    “It’s very important to match the level of teams you’re going to be coming up against in the Premier League. Feyenoord and Benfica came into that category in the Guadiana Cup and so too do Valencia.

    “It would be stupid to come up against teams who aren’t that good and then suddenly have to play in the Premier League.

    “You would be struggling.

  8. Just watching the Emirates Tournament on the box and i was wondering General if it would be possible for Villa to host a tournament of its kind?

    Surely it would be fantastic preperation for the side, playing a tournament at home and also the revenue would be fantastic for the club. And given the opposition being decent enough im sure Villa Park would be packed to the rafters?

    Agreed something like, The FxPro Tournament...
