I'd like to see us play some pre-season games in different parts of the country. It's great we regularly play lower league sides from the area but why not mix it up a bit? It would give fans from different parts of the country a chance to watch us. Clubs I'd like to see us play; Torquay United, York City, Oxford United, Cambridge, Hearts.

I'd like to see a Pre-season European Champions Trophy tournament in China, where a group of pre-Champions league winners playoff for the right to take on a "champions league" winner

Group A possibles

Celtic

Notts Forest

Aston Villa

Group B possibles

Real Madrid

Barcalona

Bayern Munich

"........long ball from Baker to Hutton on the wing, takes on the "Real/Barca/Bayern" defenders and crosses Hogan miss-times his jump by 2meters, ball half-cleared to Bacuna who's shot, going wide deflects off Thors shin and goes in. Champions of Europe Trophy goes to the Villa........"

Come on Tony, make it happen

I don't think a moral crushing 17-1 defeat to Barca would do much for the start of the season :)

You're a bit optimistic there

17-1

Who, pray, will score for us?

My old chap is a season ticket holder at Nuneaton Town. Apparently Villa are appearing at Nuneaton on a Friday evening in July? Assume it will be some sort of academy Villa XI.

There is nothing on Nuneaton's web site.

I have a horrible feeling that my father is confusing us with Wolves. There is a two or three day tournament with Rangers, Liverpool and others (including the Dirty Coventry Vermin) around 29th and 30th July. I'll double check tonight with him when I tuck into lasagne at my folks. Dementia is prevalent in my family history - and he is 77 next month and the longest living of all his brothers. Has to watch the TV at an unfeasibly high volume and the stubborn sod won't get a hearing aid. :)

Do you remember 10 years ago we played Inter Milan at home in front of 36,000 with our new Nike kits as our glamour friendly?

Hasn't quite gone to plan since.....

Wow, 10 years ago :o I can remember that physio in his suit sprinting across the pitch just like it was yesterday!

And the bird physio versus Hafnarfjarðar as well.  Villa tapped into the Iceland trend way ahead of everyone else.

Aha, I remember that. That physio was so fit, there were cheers everytime someone went down injured!

Your penis has its own season ticket?
