I think you'll be fine - it's a friendly after all. Worst comes to worst you could sit in the home end. Think a fair few people will be keeping their money in the pockets for the European games that'll we play next season too. 

I’m a bit disappointed I am not really in any of these wild whatsapp groups that has shocking content.  Work stuff, brothers, family, couple of mates, lads football team, neighbourhood moaners. All very tame. 

At least Murray predicted some nice scores. Vila to win, Huddersfield to win, Wednesday to win 😆

My group chat is called Villa Talk  

true, it’s just a shame that the fortune made the rest of the badge boring and generic. 

It’s not “celt” that has been blanked out. I didn’t name it, I’m not sure the apostrophe is in the correct place.  It’s named that because a former friend called me, our mutual friend (who was the former friend’s best man) and another very mild mannered, perfectly nice friend a “corner of words removed” completely unprovoked. This was one act of unpleasantness on an evening out along with several other acts of unpleasantness. And this night wasn’t the only night in which I or anyone else endured equivalent unpleasantness. This WhatsApp group chat was initially set up to discuss whether us three (and two others) wanted to persist in hanging out with him. It now acts as the organising chat for social events between the “core” group of five. Though some of the group are still on amicable terms with the aggressive-when-he’s-drunk chap. The cheating I am referring to in my message is me saying we probably need to eat next weekend when we meet up for a few drinks (“but eating is cheating Mark…”).  

I'm a season ticket holder, but nephew isn't... see what's what when they go on sale I suppose! Wife is a season tickets holder but I imagine they will be strict with passports etc so can't use her ref (she doesn't want to go).

I am not blokey so the 3 group chats I have are tame. “Clown union” is me, the wife and daughter. “Virgin ladies” which is old virgin colleagues and “Skegness 2024” which is old colleagues from the 90s. Not a single word in them would land me in trouble with my employer. 

I assume you all haven’t watched Dear John. Or you are too cool for school. 

Not gonna happen
