I got 11 games in 08/09 :sexface:

. I guess it depends on how many season tickets they've already sold and how Villa are doing.

I'm hoping to get 12 games :smile:

The u19s play their first game in the NextGen tournament tonight, which is basically the Champions League for the youth teams off Europe. Ajax away, and they're letting people in for free - no word of any live coverage though, highlights will be on AVTV. I think the Liverpool match is on their channel or something.

Villa's NextGen fixtures

Wed Aug 17 - Ajax v Villa [De Toekomst, 6.30pm]
Wed Sep 28 - Villa v Fenerbahce [Villa Park, 7pm]
Wed Oct 26 - Fenerbahce v Villa [Venue/time, TBC]
Wed Nov 2 - Villa v Rosenborg [Villa Park, 7pm]
Wed Nov 9 - Rosenborg v Villa [Venue/time, TBC]
Tue Nov 22 - Villa v Ajax [Villa Park, 7pm]

No word on ticketing for the home games, other than they will be at VP. Doubt they'll be free, but would be nice if its free for ST holders

Darren Bent has an 'Entertainment Blog' on the OS today, turns out he is a right comic book and computer game loving nerd :h:

Was looking at seeing if I could get there myself :yep:

Any ideas on what sort of line ups we are going to put out for this?

IT'd be a total guess.

I'm just hoping to get a good glimpse of what Raheem, Suso, Morgan, Coady and Moli look like against decent opposition.

Have Liverpool not put the squad on the site or anything? Do they play today aswell? The Villa squad is a good one (below), I'm looking foward to the home matches

VILLA: Siegrist, Barrett; Caira, Nelson-Addy, Williams, Bryan, Webb, Batemen; Cameron, Carruthers, Johnson, Graham, Juan Serrano; Taylor, Burke, Darkin, Robinson.

Look forward to seeing Jordan Graham, hear lots of very very good things about him.

Shame we got beaten last night. Ajax have a great academy so it can be expected. I'm sure we'll do a bit better against some of the other teams.

Can we play them every week, seriously we won't have an easier win than that today, Blackburn looked like they had too many chickens before the game.

Having been fortunate to attend El Clasico midweek, I was a little worried about how disappointed I would be at Villa Park yesterday. I have to say that the first half was really pleasantly surprising, we played football like a real unit with an emphasis on passing that was really refreshing to see in a Villa team. N'zogbia looks every bit as good as he should, and once the rest of the attack gets used to his ideas and gets into the right positions he's going to be providing an awful lot of assists to Bent and Co. The second half was a lot more sedentary, probably due to the disappearance of Gabby, but when Bannan came on he really brought the tempo back up, which was great to see. And Delph, who I've often lambasted in the past, played really well. The referee was just terrible though, particularly at the point where Gabby got injured. Just what the hell does a goalie have to do to give a foul away? Gabby was first to the ball, at which point Robinson jumped over the top of him and clattered him to the ground, and got a free kick for it. Madness.

Also, in my local near the ground there were barmats advertising defence solicitors who used the tagline "wouldn't you prefer to not know the maximum tariff?" and stated that their aim was to get you off with just a caution, which I found a little amusing.

Where did Gabby pull that one out from? Blackburn seem to get worse everytime I see them, which is really some acheivement. Marc was poor again, bit worrying.

Gabby's goal was ridiculous. If Suarez or Carroll had done it Hansen would have jizzed over Linekar's face live on air last night ffs :sexface:
