It's Friday night football baby, planning on a happy weekend
Big game tonight. Or is it? You know what, I just want to win so I can enjoy the win. I'm at a place where I don't care about the football, just a win matters. Why? Because I believe the football will come. One day, it has to happen. It's like everything else, it happens eventually.
And that's just me getting old, but I'm in my third airport of the day and I just want to enjoy the weekend.
So, what else can I write? tell me what I'm missing and I'll do it for next time. Instead, this time I think what we have to do is wait for the team news and then the match and then we hope for the three points. Anything else is a bonus.
I gotta run. Flight takes off in 25 minutes and I'm still at the bar. Up the Villa.
