Yep, I wonder if he had to burn fuel, it's probably a tiny airport.

...safely down. Yes, not sure, certainly not holding for activity reasons!

Is it worth having the Brentford vs. Villa thread up yet too in preparation for the match on Sunday?
Plenty to discuss

Yes , it's the more important game by miles

[Somniloquism]

Anyone can start a pre-match, there is no hierarchy for starting one. However I would prefer to wait until after the coming match before discussing the next one.

No.

I'm quite enjoying these few days of build up to a relatively relaxed stress free match. Obviously it's better to top the group but if we don't we can deal with whatever comes our way down the line. I'm ignoring the upcoming potential banana skins in the Prem for as long as possible.

Don't we avoid a two legged tie against a team that drops from the Europa League if we finish top of the group?

That's a pretty big reason to want to finish top.

agree, but Sunday is still far bigger / more important

Yes, but it's not the end of the world if we don't. Compared to the last two matches this one feels low stress, and it's nice to have that before starting the Brentford pre-match discussion.
