In a former life I used to work for a catering agency and would do waiting work in the VIP boxes at Villa. There was one guy, Gary, that had his own box, not sure what he did but he was a local business man. Anyway, I’d absolutely love to hear his thoughts on this match.

Might be worth asking if they’ve got any work for this game haha.

PS. Just seen the French league have given the green light to postpone PSG’s match around that game. Wish the premier league would do similar. Can see other teams complaining but if other leagues are doing it I think you need to follow suit.

Nantes said no to the postponement, but PSG have the French FA in their pockets so they got their way. Wankers!

I’ve always wanted to offer to work behind one of the bars at Villa on match day for free and in return get to watch the match

Haha. Sadly not a Villa fan or I would have been loving it more. Was pretty sick though. Got to eat all the fancy food and watch the game while people were watching the match out front.

I know it’s said every year but PSG seriously should go all the way. Especially as they barely have to try in the league. Praying they won’t though and get dicked by Villa

Bit dull this but Albania defending well.

Bit boring but not Southgate boring. England have had a few chances though. Could be 3-0 … just hope the missed chances don’t come back to bite them.

Yeah England are forever boring now, tough not to be against the low blocking teams.

Buzzing for Lewis Skelly taking his chance

Couldn’t be bothered to watch all of that but just seen the second goal from Kane and it was put away quite nicely.

Both goals were really nice it’s just that Albania stuck to their defensive plan really well, apart from the two goals obviously, so not the most open and thrilling match.

BoOM that was great.

What a strike! Made me shout out loud from my sofa when it went in

Even better with the nonchalant reaction. Can’t even call it a celebration. More of that and less choreographed dances please.

Lewis Skelly as a left back hasn’t strayed far from centre mid all game.

Latvia Seemed to turn up with the same game plan as Albania. Some moments of individual brilliance needed. A win is a win and all that. Still more entertaining than Southgate football.

He actually came through the Arsenal academy as a CM and only moved to LB after moving up to the first team in the last few months, Arsenal full backs usually tuck into midfield when in possession, a few teams do aswell, guess Tuchel likes it.

He won’t be starting if Lewis Hall is fit.

Yeah agreed, Hall is by far the best LB option

Fucking hell Joe Allen.

Fucks sake.

Well that was a stressful ending. Thank you David Brooks :heart:
