    Last year they arrived with just 30mins to spare before kick off.

    I used the official coach too last year and had the same experience! Was awful!

    Season Ticket 2015/6 who is renewing / buying

    in Villa Talk

    Might be back for next season, had been a season ticket holder for 8 seasons, but didn't renew this year due to buying a house and the weekly matches became more of a habit.

    Been to quite a few games this season and when you don't go often, no matter what result its actually quite enjoyable, I've missed going!

    The bits I remember more clearly:

     

    1) Marque signings are not something Villa are going to do - that's unrealistic

    2) PL says that there is an argument for youth vs experience but the way he approaches it is to use young hungry players (suggesting he won't go for experienced/older players "they struggled the year before")

    3) Believes Petrov 19th minute thing has had it's time and could even be a distraction BUT that it has to come from Petrov himself

    4) Lowest point was Chelsea 8-0

    5) Biggest regret was 'something' in the Bradford game - would have been interesting to be pushed

    6) He hasn't heard of the 'bomb squad' but tries to treat everyone fairly so is just going with the squad he feels he will be working with all season (Given is a model pro - yet still not training with 1st team)

    7) He may look to buying more players but who knows "never say never"

    8) Kiyotake was looked at but no offer made - inquired only

    9) He has not set a target for next year

    10) When the time comes he'll look at his own contract with Paul and Randy

    11) He considers last year a bit of a failure but not completely - they didn't do as well as he expected.

    12) From February onwards he was happy with how the team progressed

    13) He has a rough idea of the starting XI for Arsenal

    14) The team against Malaga will not necessarily be the starting XI for Arsenal

    15) If players want to leave for bigger clubs then you kind of can't get in their way

    16) Grealish isn't ready for the first team and needs to go out on loan if that's possible

    17) Won't give squad numbers to kids as it risks making them think they've arrived

    18) Kids have it too easy anyway

     

    More as it comes to me...

     

    He also mentioned that the worst part of the job was having to speak with Tom Ross :P

    Just came back from the forum, and really enjoyed it, he actually answered a lot of the questions very well and honest.

    Got to actually met the man himself and shake his hand, also took a photo with him. Even managed to get him sign my season ticket at the end!
