"Villa haven't been in long, or the Mags" I the last 32 years, we've only been missing from the PL for two seasons.

Selling a football shirt that will be old stock in a few weeks time for more than the original ticket price is some going mind. No doubt that it will sell though.

Yeah, it's all very OTT to the point where I can't help but think that he's taking the piss, but I'm finding it kind of admirable in an odd sort of way.

Returning from Marrakesh

Yeah, sure that'll be fine. Just avoid street parking and I'm sure your car will be OK. I'm going on a supporters coach tomorrow which I haven't done in years. My brother in law, who is half my age, has informed me that "it's a good laugh". Let's see 😄

Sorry this post isn't really much help, but I'd use proper organised football parking if possible. Street parking in Brum on a match day is supposed to be a bit of roulette, with cars having parts stripped from them being a big problem right now. Not sure if it's such a big problem round Villa Park, but it's recently been a massive problem around St Andrews. The one time I took my car to Villa Park I was immediately hassled by kids to mind it for cash. Can't remember if I paid or not but car was fine when I returned.

Fucking hell!! Reading that, I'm wondering whether anybody has replied to say something along the lines of "that's a bit much", but then it shows that 24 of them appear to think that it's clever or funny. Thicker than a castle wall.

Think it'll be Lee Johnson who was probably their manager at the time.

Pull slider to 3:23:00, that's just before his call. I know, had it on in the background this morning and I was proper buckled when he just blurted it out

BBC Radio Newcastle 3 hours 23 minutes in, NUFC fan gets through to competition this morning to win tickets for mackems v Millwall. Not sure what's funnier - his answer, or the fact that his call meant that they ran out of time so couldn't give the tickets away in the end.

I was surprised, it was on the digital board on the platform that no alcohol is permitted. Got on the train and everyone is ignoring it, guard has just been through checking tickets and hasn't challenged anyone so doesn't look like staff on this train are enforcing it.

Travelling down on the 2pm train, bought some beers in advance only to arrive at platform and see that all trains are dry.

Van Dijk made a right arse of that, get in!

Doing the same, suspect there'll be a stack of NUFC staying in Watford. Looks like the Overground is running as normal and that's about half an hour to get to Wembley Central from Watford High Street, although there's a closure on the evening between Kilburn High Road and Euston which might need some planning around for anyone who wants to use the Overground to get back to Watford from Central London on the Sunday evening.
