I featured the Nike ad here mainly because of the obvious Villa connection, but also because it was brilliant. I’m doing the same with this Adidas ad simply because it’s bonkers and I love it! If the Star Wars theme seems a bit random, it’s probably because they actually have a Star Wars range. I know, still, the commercial is great, especially Snoop’s take on what Luke Skywalker should have said…
Oh, and if you missed it,
Another of these videos has mysteriously leaked from the training ground. This time it’s James Milner kicking balls into wheelie bins by deflecting them off the crossbar. This also proves that Milner will remain an Aston Villa player since it’s a well known fact that they don’t have wheelie bins in Manchester, so why would he want to go there?
Did you spot the glimpse of Ash at the beginning? I assume that the next video will be
I love these types of videos and this is quite nicely done, although no one involved is in any danger of winning an Oscar any time soon.
John Carew gets bored during filming before an interview and fixes an annoying flickering light behind the Villa badge on the North Stand using his skills. Yes, that’s Jack Woodward’s dulcet tones you hear in the background making convincing requests for “maintenance” to fix the sign before Carew steps in.
Perhaps Carew could put
Brad Friedel recently sat down with ussoccer.com to discuss, among other things; breaking the record for consecutive Premiership appearances, keeping himself fit as he gets older, yoga, dealing with making mistakes under the glare of the media spotlight and coping with building a long career so far from home.
This 5 minute vid is the first of two parts, I’ll hopefully be able to follow up with the second part when it is released.
I have @usofarsenal to thank for bringing this to my attention. Well, maybe ‘thank’ isn’t the right word, but to be honest; I’m really not sure yet. One thing’s for certain, our trip to Wembley is bringing the musical, er, talent out of the woodwork.
I’m actually leaning towards this being so random that it might just be brilliant. I stress might. It’s definitely better than that X-Factor horror show though!
From the video’s description:-
Althea Gaye and Ray
No, don’t worry. It’s not that video!! Perhaps evidence that every cloud has a silver lining? If it weren’t for that embarrassing piece of rubbish, we might not have fans inspired to make something like this…
From the video’s description:-
Too many rubbish football songs. So I thought I would join in. To mark the 2010 Carling Cup Final, an ex X-Factor contestant recorded a theme for the Villa called, ‘Championees’ ???? As a direct response to it’s utter
An extreme hat tip to pre-Premier League football. The “good ol’ days”!! Both of these games were overseen by our longest serving manager, George Ramsey.
Blackburn Rovers 0 Aston Villa 3 – 1904
One of the final few games from the 1903/04 season which Aston Villa finished 5th.
Preston North End 2 Aston Villa 0 – 1905
This game, from the 1905/06 season in which Villa finished 8th, was played on what would eventually become Armistice (Remembrance) Day. Yes, it’s almost
ABthegiant is back with another Pre-Smack video prior to the game against Arsenal. All being well he’ll be following up with another gloating video.
“Don’t make me pull out my gunners!! I’ve got gunners!! I’m armed and dangerous!!” Nice work again, Andy.
I was just doing a little house keeping of stuff cluttering up my desktop and I found a link to this official video from the club that is really quite a polished piece of work. I’d certainly be very happy if I had made it, but it’s only had 374 views since March ’09!!
Despite it apparently being a teaser for the 2009/10 season, it was outdated before a ball was kicked by featuring Laursen and Barry, but that’s football
