Pre-season friendly: Walsall 2 Aston Villa 3

Surely Maloney deserves a run out the weekend now?

i booed the brighton twitcher! ;D ;D ;D.he does not care about avfc.was benitez in the crown por vafor.jazmundo xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Shaun and Routledge both. . .and after the way he played last week, that means Gabby out. Or a three back set up that gets Knight out of the picture.

Got to drive back to London now as i continue to watch this club wherever. MON get the transfers done, Barry speak to your love Rafa do the deal and go, and to the fans who didn't give the judas the boo's hang your heads in shame. Without MON guts our club would be dying now so show him your support and to the man who tried to destroy us for 40 pieces of silver show him that we detest him and will never forget.

i know this doesnt bear anything on this article but i am getting completely racked off now with the lack of activity in this so called transfer window i always check the official site and on here whilst at work and what surprose surprise nothing happening!He then plays down the Zigic link and says he not interested at all!Gonna get myself down the bookies and see if they will take bets on villa to start the season without a rightback and pile on it!I hope i am wrong but every other club seems to wrap things up so much quicker than MON and RL i think the club should come out and tell us what the F**k is going on or open a blog on there so they can read all villa fans opinions on the lack of activity that is going on coz they really need a wake up call!i am villa through and through and renewed my season ticket this year and hopefully will be travelling round europe with the boys but IMO we will struggle on saturday at VP we look so disjointed at the back and on theright its unbelievable. Any takers for Ricardo Quaresma from porto as his agent has revealed its the bestb time for him to move on!!!

had to get that out guys its been eating away at me all day!

Cheers

atlas is gay,

so how good do we think villa will do against odense then?

we just about squeezed a win against walsall, but yes i know it was only a friendly and away, but we dont look like we can b arsed ot play tbh

Anyone that boos a player in a VIlla shirt is an idiot, I don't give 2 shits what he does, when he's on that field playing for the club he should be treated as a Villa player. Anyone that feels strongly about loyalty and supports the club, should make their feeling known off the pitch. It's the same mentality of fans that boo england players from teams other than their clubs, brainless…

i can't believe fat boy clapped the fans before kick off, did he really think they would say "oh it's ok gareth, a few half arsed applause make thinks alright" what a t*@t

Harewood as captain? Didn't see that one coming.....

Wow another two goals conceded! With this defence we are gonna be on the TV all the time! Who cares about Barry he's just a player. You really think most of the others are any more principled or loyal?

We have had a poor pre season really and need to sign players asap.

This saturday is a massive game but it shouldnt be. If we had already done the business in the transfer market we would be home and dry by now.

You see how we nicked the winner in the last minutes of the match! I do think walsall were the better side for most of the match though, but 2 be fair half the first team didn't play and we still won? So thats something good i suppose?
They changed their goalkeeper and the new guy lost them the match! Unlucky

[b]Maloney And The Hare to start Saturday, Agbonbon to the bench[/b]

id like to see maloney start on saturday...

also, thanks damian for sorting out my login info.

I think it was a wonderful result and will terrify our league opponents.

does anybody know where martin no'deal was tonight? I really do hope he wasn't just avoiding Barry because that's just chilidish.

Did playing Barry really teach him a lesson? He was poor tonight and probably wanted to be anywhere but there, if their's 15m on the table we should take it quick....

Get on the phone tonight!!!!!

For those commenting about goals conceded etc.
They should know that there were no regulars in the squad.
Barr Barry, the closest thing was Marlon and Maloney.

Also, as the night went on, the boos turned to claps for GB, and almost all clapped him as he left the field.
May I add, He played well tonight.

we done well to come back tonight maloney was every where and a great goal by routledge lets hope most of these supossed inimnet signings are holding on to see if we will be playing european football saturdays a big game if we are to put ourselves in the mix for quality players i think we'll sign a few this week but how many times have we thought that

any1 who didnt boo that fat w*nker should be ashamed of themselves. He isnt fit to wear the shirt and hopefully he never will again.

Just got back from the game and thought i needed to come on and say just how well i thought some of our youngters played tonight. I think Delfounso, Baker and especially Bannan are going to be stars of the future.

And just a good word for Salifou, thought he did a better job at right back than i've seen Gardner do yet!

will barry play saturday???

I hope that Wenger takes Barry just to keep football a mans game!! does anyone remember the old rumours of Le Sau and Gerrard???...well I dont want an ex Villa player doing a Justin and having a love affair with his best mate!!.....on a differnt note it was great to see Judas wince when he came out tonight to face us..

On another note I took my 4yr old to his 1st game .... he loved it so another Villain hooked for life

Up The Villa

haha Taglor.. classic. It's great to see Maloney getting on the score sheet. I really hope he picks his game up, and makes a name for himself at Villa. Our away kit is also growing on me a bit.

Hey Damo, how do i get my pic in the window too, like goldie?

Harewood deserves Captains armband for a game cos hes the most loyal player Villa have, Barry, F*** off now please your kind ain't welcome at Villa, we are trying to build (not sustain 4th place)

Why Boo Barry when all it will do is send a negative ripple effect throughout the team?

Salifou at RB? Good Lord.

well said jimmy villain.....i have to agree with you....just think if the transfer does fall through and he does play for us against the scousers...cud see him scorin lol

Nigel Remote-Control needs to be captain next, he deserves one of his many shouts to be commands. I think he'd kick the rest of the squad up the arse, much more than Gareth Byebye ever did. If not him then give the captaincy to Wilf, the hardest worker on the pitch and most consistent players I've seen in a Villa shirt since... losing train of though, why didn't we sign Boulharouz as right back? He was class for Holland filling at rightback.

I didn't watch the match but I rate Maloney and hope he gets more of a chance next season.

harewood as vice-captain next season for sure!

or should i say this season?

To the people who are using last nights game as a yard stick for saturday truly don't know much about what is actually happening. None of the team that played in Denmark on saturday played in last night's game. It was a reserve team with Barry. We had Parish in goal and Cieran Clark in defence both young up and coming players. So get real you muppets.

That's 7 goals conceded in our last 3 games now... I know not all of them have been competitive but still, it's sounding to me like we're going to struggle at the back this season just like we did last :(

Carvillan, you are getting a bit up yourself mate it was a joke anyway as it stands a few injuries and they WILL be playing in the first team this season.

I was there last night, and I have to admit I did give Barry a little piece of my mind and join in with the booing etc.
However the boo's subsided a little after about 30 mins of the game, when i believe most of the fans felt they had made their feelings clear.
When he was substituted, I never booed nor clapped him off, as i choose to stay silent, which I felt was more appropriate than keep getting on his back.
In light of all this, he actually played quite well, some good tracking back of players, tackles and several cross field passes that gave us a glimpse of what we will probably be missing next season!
Onto the game, Maloney was tricky, quick, dangerous and looked like he had a point to prove last night. The same goes for Routledge, looked confident and full of enthusiasm to get round the fullback. Crossing was good too, as we looked dangerous down both wings it was hard for the opposition to double up on either winger. However Salifou playing right back, not the ideal position for him!! (we haven't even got a youth player deemed good enough to play there!!!)
Overall, I know it was a friendly, but fairly decent performance, and for those who did go........WE WANT CLAYTON, WE WANT CLAYTON!!!

don't talk of love -show me!

Gareth Barry might have been more interested to stay if a few more positive signings had been made..[i][/i]

if you boo barry you are an idiot because think of all the things he has done for this club, penalties, captaincy, late winners. anything!!!

UTV ;D

UTGB 8)

i think little maloney needs a good run in the team. wen he plays he does well. oh an accordin to the mirror, kidneypool are gonna bid £16mil finnan.
