    Yeah agreed.

    I can understand that the club wanted to play the GT Trophy game at home but in the mix up it looked like we had demoted the Villa game, even though it's still their tribute game.
    To me the Villa game is more the GT memorial game regardless of the trophy.. which might end up in Spain anyway.

    It is my fervent wish that we never have anything to do with the paramecia ever again unless it is forced upon us. And that they go bust and their pitch is invaded by the inhabitants of nearby Bury Town for Friday prayers until such time as the sun expands into a red giant and consumes the earth.

    So you wouldn't go if there was such a match, then?

    A cup match yes. A 'friendly' (hilarious) no. Certainly wouldn't be part of any pre-match 'meet and greet' team even if we had one.

    No need.

    It's being streaming openly on Villa's official YouTube channel.

    Anyone would think they have won the European Cup with such grandiose behaviour!

    Nice one, thought I'd be missing it as I promised to drop the in laws off at some rock festival miles away (for my nieces birthday) .... I shall have to "borrow" the missuses S7 edge which is much better than my crappy thing, I wouldn't dream of using it for some dodgy malware ridden stream but YouTube is fine.

    It's ok, this way you can download your own choice of computer viruses rather than having to take what you're given.

    Gomes (GK) (c); Cathcart, Kabasele, Kaboul, Mason; Cleverley, Doucouré, Chalobah; Amrabat, Sinclair, Pereyra.

    Subs: Pantilimon, Femenía, Pr*dl, Rowan, Watson, Hughes, Success, Okaka.

    No Capoue. No strikers in the starting line-up either. Interesting.

    Clearly we're not taking this game seriously by that starting 11. This game is all about fitness for those who have been injured and just come back so they can be match fit for the season.

    Sensible to go for a packed defence against former European champions

    Anybody else got a problem with this stream? It's just telling me that my browser does not recognise any of the video formats available, yet I can play all the other stuff on you tube.

    Agreed-even Sinclair put through and one on one v goalie in the D but screws his shot so wide its nearer the corner flag than the goal

    Thought they might do something at HT to remember GT..

    Nice tributes in the programme though.
