Kit launch and another pre-season match announced

the UTO Stadium is in Zurich! wheres zurich?

[url=LINK Zurich??[/url]

switzerland

Zurich is in Switzerland and FCZ normally play at the Letzigrund (where some of the Euro matches have just been played and where they also stage the Zurich athletics meeting). I've never heard of the Uto stadium but there is a part of Zurich called Uto so maybe it's a case of crossed wires. I checked the FCZ site and there is nothing confirmed yet LINK but I'm sure it'll be played at the Letzigrund. Anyone needing help, advice, boozers let me know.

Sorry, my mistake the Utogrund LINK is a poxy stadium where YF Juventus ply there trade in the Swiss 3rd division. God only knows why we want to play there.

are we playing there as part of a deal for a player ?

I just hope that there are a few new signings to model the new kit at the launch. It has gone very quiet on the transfer front. It also looks like the scousers can't afford Barry.

when that stupid signing of sidwell going to happen? im getting bored of hearing this and that. FC Zurich? heard of the place, not the team. i certainly hope they're crap.

UTV ;D

Why would you hope a team we play in a pre season friendly are crap? Its better to get a challenge in pre season so you're more ready for the start of the season against some decent teams

looking at it logically are we playing there because the stadium will be dodgy and the pitch even worse?

great preparation for a season of european football! not everyone plays on a carpet like we do

zurich, are they the insurance company team

I work for Zurich Engineering, the insurance company!

And i can confirm we are not playing the mighty Villa in a pre-season friendly!

the letzigrund stadium might be having there pitch re-laid after euro 2008 and if its anything like my garden, grass seeds take ages to grow!! specially if they have pigeons eating the seeds.

any guesses on the mystery player/players oneill is seriously considering to buy??

Mon needs to start the ball rolling. I really expected an announcment today. There is no such match against the Swiss.

hope its not aj or crouch

David Moyes has said AJ not for sale. PHEW!

could be a german player maybe?

i saw a rumour that said we were interested in bringing lahm, mertesacker and.....der hammer! back to VP

To answer a few of your questions, yes FCZ are crap but they have a good bunch of fans. After the won the Swiss league 2 seasons ago all their best players left so unless it's part of the Salifou deal (who used to play for them) I doubt its part of any transfer. However, the Swiss league starts shortly after so this will be their last warm up match therefore they should give us a game. Last time Villa played here it was against FC Basel in the intertoto and Ginola had just signed, bad omens?

Just seen that Bolton have bought the swedish striker Elmander for £10 mill.... We are lucky we dont have a manager wasting our money on average players, this guy makes Crouch look good....!!

Just listened to MON on the BBC. I want to start a campaign. Villa at the Villa! Well I can dream. But he does refer to SOME player he likes at the Euro's...a possible signing maybe...? Who do you think has caught his eye? Top 5 ideas please Damien! :'(

thought we bought salifou from those giants of european football...fc will....great name

we played fc zurich before, michael bolding and peter crouch scored. played at villa, i think it finish 3-1 :S. it was definately fc zurich

Hi, I'm a Villa fan from Geneva (Switzerland). I'll be at the Utogrund to watch that friendly game. Good to know : Zurich fans are the worst bastards in Switzerland. Their team is not so crap (at the Swiss level)they are far better than FC Will. We have a couple of good full back swiss players (Lichtsteiner, Behrami, Magnin)that could be good targets for Villa but I don't understand why Villa have bought Salifou. For me, it's one of the biggest mistery of the 21th century...

Salifou was at FC Wil but I'm sure there was an FCZ connection there somewhere. Aston Geneva, I disagree with you about the FCZ fans, they're one of the only sets of Swiss fans to show a bit of passion, ok so they might have the odd pitch invasion and a few street fights with Basel fans but at least they like a sing and a drink.
Hope to see you at the game but I just found out I'm supposed to be moving in with my girlfriend on that day - diplomacy is going to be needed so if you know anybody at the UN who can help i'd be grateful ;)

The Season review DVD has now been reduced on Amazon by 38%, shame as I bought it last week. [url]LINK=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1214651046&sr=8-1[/url]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz................. this is boring and crap, we are nearly in to July and not one single signing, its absolutely crap!

Yeah. Play.com also offers for £9.99.

It is well worth it.

Contains good highlights from all competition games, including chances in 0-0 matches.
Post match interviews for our best games, interviews and footage from AVTV aswell as 30 minutes extended highlights of Villa 5-1 Blues.

Thats a bit more practice i suppose,we'llllllllllllllllllllllllllll
seeya
UTV ;D

your right...if i hear this coming season MON tells either BBC or SKY SPORTS on an interview we have a small squad i want this guy fired, where the hell are these signings??? the smallest so called squad, fcuking disgrace

MON needs to come on these web sites and try and explain why the hell we are complete pussies and have no balls on the transfer market?? We have a SO CALLED Billonaire in charge, What the hell has Learner done more than Ellis? and doing up a pub doesn't count

Id'e love AJ to play for us, yes yes he played form Blues but he's a better finisher than Gabby

Vogra - agreed and I think that others will begin to wake up now also!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I live in Zurich and have a ticket for the FC Zurich match at Uto Grund.. tiny little place, shame its not at the Letzigrund.
As for tomorrow, Im heading off to Wil in the day, anyone got an idea of where to go for a beer before/after the match?

As for why FC Wil, MON said its simply for extra training and fitness... the Zurich game will be more of a contest, and will be Sidwells debut... along with Delfonso and the yougsters...
