I understand the feelings around Gary Shaw, I never saw him play but it’s affected me too, just from everything my Dad used to tell me about him and the handful of clips/matches I’ve seen. But there can’t be many better ways to celebrate his life and career than Villa’s first game back in the big cup.

Any suggestions for somewhere to watch the game near Waterloo?

I’ve never been so can’t offer a review but there’s always a few Villa fans watching our games at this place in Elephant and Castle - a mile or so from Waterloo

Training at the wank.


I’m sure the players have had plenty of previous practice.

I fail to see what is amusing about Young Boys Berne Wankdorf

As one of only two matches kicking off at 5.45, there's a realistic chance we could be the best team in Europe for about two hours.

Bloody hell, hope the fans in Bern have access to a printer.

Quite possibly. In any case, I'm sure they have internet cafes in Switzerland.

A European full time professional club playing in the CL in 2024 should be able to sort out app scanners

Or at least communicate with the away team a bit sooner than the day of the game.
