Association Sportive de Monaco FC v Aston Villa -Pre Match
« on: January 19, 2025, 12:15:15 AM »
What: UEFA Champions League
When: Tuesday 21 January 2025 Kick off 17:45 GMT, 18:45 CET
Where: Louis II Stadium, Fontvieille, Monaco

Here we go again, off to the not so sunny climate of south of France and Monaco at this time of the year.
AS Monaco have so far had a mixed season both in Ligue 1 and UCL. Their recent French League form is not impressive however they are sitting comfortably in CL to possibly go through to the play-off round. This is a match that we should be aiming to win.

We'll batter them, and Goldie.7 will break the bank at Monte Carlo.

They've not won in 4. They lost heavily to Arsenal and PSG in December but otherwise haven't lost by 2 or more goals since 13th January last year.

This will be tricky and I expect a tight affair.

We will have too much for them.

It's our next game, and less than three days away. Seems fair enough to me. When I'm not actually required to attend, I do like these early kick-offs.

I'm two hours ahead at the moment, so a pleasant 19.45 rather than 21.45 suits me down to the ground.

Went to Monaco and it's not for me. All yachts, casinos and paying stupid amounts for a bottle of water. But the one thing that was impressive, was the stadium, with the tiled roof.

Hope we stuff the tax dodging w*needs!

Yeah but we were still bouncing off the ceiling from the last half hour at the Emirates.

Old Monaco / Villa joke.

What's the difference between Princess Grace and Gordon Cowans? Gordon Cowans can take corners.

For anyone getting a connecting flight at Paris, move as quick as you can. The queues today were terrible for security and passport control. You have to do passport control at CDG not Nice. I only made the Nice flight  by the skin of my teeth! And then only because  I moaned at a security officer who let me queue jump
Good luck!!

Fun fact that I found out the other day, think I posted it in the Things I Learned thread but nobody gave a shit so I'm posting it again: Grace Kelly designed Monaco's diagonal style kits.

It’s a long way between the two gates as well. The only good thing about a 6am flight this morning!

I see the French FA did them a favour by having them play their league game on Friday.  Meanwhile we will be playing our 4th game in 10 days.
