VILLA TO FACE OXFORD IN WARM-UP GAME
Oxford will host an Aston Villa XI in their final warm-up match on 4 August before the Blue Square Premier season.
U's chairman Kelvin Thomas told the club's website that revenue from the game will soften the financial blow of the demise of broadcaster Setanta.
He said: "We thank Villa and Martin O'Neill for agreeing to the game. It's a fine gesture from a top club."
The strength of the Villa side is likely to depend on their progress in the Peace Cup in Spain.

hopefully we can get some good yound players that we can mold into the team over a few years.
also we can do with the aa few experience players to give those youngens the step in the right direction
if we get a good balence of the two the we can put a good challenge next season for 6th or higher
what would be the chances of us signing anyone this summer??or we just gonna leave it all to real madrid and man city?
me and my coz has put a sined villa shrit on ebay
bids stared a £25
giggs 10million£
nani10million£
walcott15million£
malouda 8million£
joe cole 12million£
ashley young 25million£
RIGHT, THATS IT!!!
NO-ONE IS ALLOWED TO BE REAL MADRID ON FIFA NEXT YEAR!
Dominic that's not true.
I respect you because at least you have the balls to admit Young is a good player unlike Spurs, Man. City, Arsenal and Birmingham fans etc.
I don't think Young is the best winger in the league because he plays for Villa. He's the best winger in the league because over the past two years, Young and Ronaldo have been the two wingers on the PFA Team of the Year and now Ronaldo's gone to Real Madrid. That's why!
L'R, I really like Lennon as a player but he's not as good as Young mate.
ASHLEY YOUNG
'BEST WINGER IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE'
Who's better?
fair enough, no dis respect by the way..
young is a great player
but just say if he wasn't playing for villa would he be best winger in prem? in your opinion? no he wouldn't
join
plz join
HaHaa, Izz EE FUUK!!!
Aaron Lennon is better than Young!
Dominic Ryan:
Ashley Young IS the best winger in the Premier League! There's no doubt about it!
Giggs?: great player in his day but it well past it.
Malouda?: how you can say he's better than Young is beyond me.
Nani?:
Walcott?: probably the second best winger in the PL but he's not in the PFA team.
Joe Cole?: nowhere near the standard of Young!
In fairness, he's not worth £75-80m, he's worth about £25-30m - £75-£80m is what he would cost another team!
fuck off u ya scouse bitch
go rob a granny!!!! 
him down below dosnt know what hes talking about
villa is Crap, mon the liverpool 
no way! dont sell gardner!!!!
BULLSHIT!!! charity award!!!!!
