I think I'll give those away games a miss .

Not sure those are ideal matches to prepare for an EFL season.

All part of increasing the clubs global exposure. No doubt it will be viewed as a backpacking jolly down under by some!

Australia in the summer, sounds great.

Meanwhile the Villa youngsters are playing a stone's throw away from me tomorrow in some Robbie Keane tournament. I would have gone along had it not clashed with the Norwich game. And cost a fiver to get in.

Well I for one am over the moon. I shall be at the villa Leeds game with a Liverpool and a Leeds fan wearing my tight villa top over my fat dad bod with pride. It fitted once but midlife spread is a bitch that gets us all. Just hope the game is not stopped due to a medical emergency that we keep reading about due to poor circulation of villa fan

Why on earth are we spending time on a jolly down-under when we should be running up and down hills and sand dunes in the rain preparing for the new season.

My sister who has done our family tree going back over 100 odd years actually found a newspaper report describing the hangings. They also had to give a speech before they were strung up. !!!!!

Probably still better than going to Australia though mate , with all those creepy crawlies and slimy buggers. Not to mention spiders and snakes
