I'm actually considering taking a trip to one of the Peace Cup matches, as I'm staying in Andalucia until the 31st.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Our new home kits revealed today. Better than last seasons, but not better than the season before's.

You totally should, Locke.
I just watched the Sevilla-Gobbi game (at Sevilla's stadium) and the place was 3/4 empty. The gobbi, for their part, looked halfway decent. Sevilla did not. FT score: Sevilla 1 - 2 Gobbi. (The goal conceded was due to - Fishdoll is unsurprised - Cannavaro losing his marker on a corner kick). Fishdoll is most pleased that he will get to watch the Villa game live tomorrow! He's even got his antlers on for the occasion! |

QUOTE Martin O'Neill last night moved to end the speculation surrounding Ashley Young's future by insisting that not even a £50m bid would prise the England international from Aston Villa this summer. Young has been linked with moves to Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Liverpool and Barcelona but O'Neill believes that the 24-year-old could not be at a better club for his development and claimed that Randy Lerner, the Villa chairman, would not countenance selling the winger. "There are loads of teams that would want Ashley Young, top continental sides that would want him," said O'Neill, whose side take on Malaga in the Peace Cup tonight. "And Ashley Young, with a bit of luck, has a fantastic future ahead of him. But he's absolutely at the right club at this moment. Since he's joined us he's been one of the major reasons we've finished in the position we have done the last couple of seasons. But I couldn't be more strong on this. He's not going anywhere. And the teams that I've noticed that have been linked with him couldn't buy him. "If somebody came in with £30m, £40m or £50m? I wouldn't do it. I'm not in overall charge obviously and it would be up to Randy but the last time I spoke to Randy he wasn't entertaining anything at any price." O'Neill accepts that he cannot guarantee Young will be at Villa for the remainder of his career but, with the World Cup taking place next summer, he claims that the former Watford player's chance of being in the England squad would be enhanced through playing week-in, week-out at the club where he has performed so impressively since arriving from Vicarage Road for £9.65m in January 2007. "Sometimes you leave a little caveat in somewhere along the way, where you feel that there is no chance unless someone makes a silly offer – that suggests there is a possibility," says O'Neill. "But there is not. He won't be going. We're really happy with him. He may not stay here at Aston Villa for the rest of his life; we're going to have to try and make progress. But my own view is that for him to go anywhere at this minute, even if it came to it, wouldn't be the right thing for him." I love MON. Just try us City, you'll be left very disappointed. |

Newcastles away kit was launched today. There were 3 people waiting in the queue to buy it. How pathetic. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
On the theme of laughing at Newcastle. Here was their line-up for todays friendly against Leyton Orient. NUFC: Tim Krul, Habib Beye, Jose Enrique, Steven Taylor, Fabricio Coloccini, Joey Barton, Damien Duff, Kevin Nolan, Jonas Gutierrez, Alan Smith ©, Oba Martins I think you'd find that's pretty much their best XI. SO there's going to be some explaining needing to be done as they lost 6-1.

Lost 1-0 to Malaga. Very even game, nothing in it, very few chances. A mistake from young American RB, Eric Lichaj, let them get in behind. ALot of youngsters on show, who all played well enough. Decent game.

Fishdoll was sad. Freddie didn't play. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
But it was a pretty even game. The commentator said during the game that Zat Knight has been sold to Bolton? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Yep, £4m as well, so we made a bit of a profit on him. Shame really, he seemed happy sitting on the bench and wasn't that bad.

I thought it must have been like their under-18's or something. That is truely shocking, can actually see them staying in the Championship for more than one season at this rate. Their players don't seem to care. |

Malaga lost 3-1 to Mexican side Atalante today, which puts qualification back into our own hands. A win of 2 goals or more when we play Atalante and we're into the semi-finals. Though personally I think we'll lose, our style of play is very counter-attacking and workman-like, so I expect them to be far more comfortable in the temperature and beat us.

Villa 3-1 Atalante
*Davies OG *Albrighton *Carew *Young Albrighton is absoloutely rapid. great turn of pace, super first time cross. Not too bad a header from Ashley either! (IMG:http://i30.tinypic.com/ivadc1.jpg) This post has been edited by kurtsimonw: Jul 30 2009, 04:07 AM |
