The Fun Factory Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 So bloody annoying that the authorities wouldn't let us attend this one, and I guess it was just too short notice for them to play on Saturday. Still at least its a game for the players versus a decent standard of opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get the full length versions of the interviews that do the social media rounds. Extended training ground footage, all the u23 and u18 games I think, maybe all the womens games and I'm 100% on this but I think all prem games will be on there after sky and the beeb have done all their showings. We also used to get loads of funnies on YouTube so hopefully more of that to. Be brilliant if there was an official podcast on there too (there may already be). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted August 7, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2021 I’ve just paid the £5 for this in the excitement of seeing Ings and Buendia playing. Anyone know if I’ll be able to watch it via my TV? Not used Villa TV before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously your TV will need to be on same wifi network and allow casting from other devices. Most smart TVs do.

VillaFaninLondon Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 It's a shame that the Sevilla game was cancelled as I think that would have been a very good final friendly game against strong opposition who finished 4th in La Liga last season. But at least we managed to get something else organised. I don't know much about Salernitana but know they just got promoted to Serie A for the first time in 20 odd years. Can't say I really know anyone from their squad. Should win comfortably you'd hope and an opportunity for Ings, Buendia, Traore, Watkins etc to play together. No idea when Bailey is going to join the squad but hopefully it is soon given our first league game is only a week away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is interested, this is their squad according to transfermarkt. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/us-salernitana-1919/kader/verein/380 Their most valuable player (by a distance) has spent his entire career on loan from Sampadoria. If any of their CMs are decent we could buy them out of the petty cash box at BMH. Amazed a team in Serie A has a squad that cost less than Wesley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
