Now going to listen to a couple of cricket podcasts, which is going to depress the mood. The episode title of the first is Darkness Descends 🙉
Great pressure, great goal from Villa to take the last minute win. Fantastic game 👏⚽️
Watching the second half after catching up with an hour’s sleep. At least Villa v Arsenal is a good, competitive game. A goal apiece at the moment ⚽️
