[VillaTim]

Maybe a few bars near the ground , that will be it .

So all of them (on the Monaco side).

There won't be an all out ban of alcohol in Monaco because villa are playing .

He's making the point Monaco is small, Tim.

Yeah understand that , just pointing out the majority if not all hotels , casino etc won't be closing their bars because of a football match .

Interesting curio. Why were we playing a friendly game in Feb? Were we out of the FA Cup and short of fitness? Did H&V make its print debut? So many possibilities...

Part of a tour by the sound of it. There was already a thread on it, as per link below. I didn't spot Wenger in their dug-out.

We were out of the cup but that was a Tuesday night so unaffected, we still played in both surrounding weekends.

Do Monaco still have that terrible pitch?

Except for one hotel apparently!

I can see us getting a 2-1 win.

Flying out from BHX at 6am tomorrow. Flight connects to Nice via CDG, and just realised there is only 45mins between landing and the gate closing on my Nice flight! Looks like I've got to navigate from terminal 2e (not sure which 'zone' yet) across to 2f, so it's going to be bloody tight having to pass through security too!

Tough game to pick a team for given a hard game at Arsenal on Saturday evening. Maybe one for Bailey and Duran to come back in. Little option to rotate most of the back 4 and Kamara. Buendia could also come in at 10.

Martinez
Cash, Konsa, Mings, Digne
Kamara, Tielemans
Bailey, Rogers, Ramsey
Duran

I remember going to this, my last year at school in our 2nd division season (early 1988), and it being bloody cold!

It is not because Villa are playing, it has been going on since at least 2016. Probably only for European matches but that might be the only ones reporting it in English. For example one of the bars posted a facebook page before a match in Sept 2016 stating no alcohol will be sold the next evening.

We're going to win this 3-1.

Duran, Rogers & Bailey.

Their goal will come from a catastrophe at the back
