BBC News explain that because of Brexit, Brits will be photographed and have their fingerprints taken when going into the EU, as the UK now is a third country

BBC News forget to explain that the UK helped create these rules when we were part of the EU because we wanted stronger border control

That is a crazy VAR decision in the Scotland game. Huge let off. Mind-blowing they asked the referee to check the "foul" – even more wild that he agreed with them.

Gakpo's decision-making is so poor.

The subs switched us to shut up shop but the conditions made it tough as well.

Think Frank will need to settle with a first choice forward line at some point though so those relationships and understandings build quicker.

We had celebrity refs but he's venturing into celebrity commentator territory. Someone needs to tell him we don't care about his opinions, especially non-football related ones, and to just explain what is happening on the pitch.

It's all about spreading hate and blame. Ideally, blaming everything on the people they hate - and want you to hate too. This playbook exists in England as well, sadly.

More highlights and analysis after the break? No thanks.

Yet another game where the performance was a disgrace but the result isn't too bad.

For a man who learns from his mistakes, and Frank seems like a nerd (in the nicest of ways), he's got to learn quicker.

You need a passer in midfield. Give Archie a run in the team. He looks the best option we have

Kane really held both the midfield and attack together before he left, didn't he? 🀣

You could have Haaland upfront tonight and it wouldn't be much different (he's missed some sitters against us so we'll allow the Richy miss kick).

We have to move the ball *a lot* faster. Aside from Xavi, who plays a bit further ahead, there's only really Gray who can pass forward.

When we gain possession, it grinds to a halt 20-25 yards from the opposition's goal and we recycle it back across the defence.

There's no speed to our play and that makes it very, very easy to deal with. That lack of an attacking threat in open play means the opposition can throw more men forward.

The midfield is a bigger concern than the attack for me.

We have no one who can break the lines with their passing. Bentancur is a tempo setter, Sarr a pressing monster who arrives late into the box and Bergvall is a dribbly boy.

But we never play a quick ball in behind or bomb forward in numbers.

Bodo should be out of sight at this point.

For those you who don't binge comedy gossip YouTube channels like me, Marc Maron has been going on a tear against the "rogan-sphere."

Him telling Howie Mandel "are you fucking out of your mind?" at minute 1:07 killed me LOL

To use your dismissive language, are you on the payroll at Villa? πŸ˜‰

You feel they've done enough. I've told you they've done the bare minimum and the stadium improvement is an obligation to retain their host status at Euro 2028.

The bottom line, financially, is they are still miles off the 'elite'

When a new stadium costs around Β£800m-1B, spending Β£100-125m is a refurb. Yes.

And again, your ultra rich owners have spent the minimum and nothing suggests they have a long term commitment to the club. That should be worrying. Not as worrying as the wage bill or current form, but worrying.
