Candle-lit string quartet at St Paul’s Church. Birthday present for my wife.
Tomorrow, Stockport v Orient while I quietly check how #avfc are getting on at Bournemouth.
Sunday will be a shambles. As it should be.

I know it doesn’t really matter but Christ alive #avfc that was bad.
Losing it so often in midfield and leaving the defence exposed.
Salzburg have done their homework, executed the plan very well and given it everything. Only hope they run out of puff.

Watched the Villa this afternoon with a Newcastle fan. Uni mate. She’s only in the country because her father is sadly on his way out.
As delighted as I am with the win, those couple of hours with a good mate reminded me that there are things much more important than football.

When it’s deadlocked at the round table, they should played snooker to decide it. Nobody ever uses that sodding table and it annoys me #traitors

Co-commentator said that tonight’s match “has a cup final feel”.
Except that it’s half empty and everyone who is there is sad.
