Leicester City 1-2 Aston Villa (Women’s Super League) I raced back from Braintree last night to pick up a takeaway from Cuzina which is a nice Greek Restaurant close to the City Ground and Trent Bridge, home for 7:30pm the wife put the new Peaky Blinders film on Netflix and we both fell asleep to wake up and find Tommy Shelby was dead. Spoiler alert! Today is another game of football and one at least a little closer to my south Nottingham home, half hour away in Leicester

Fergie Time
Aston Villa 1-2 Manchester United (Women’s Super League) It’s Bruce’s birthday today. Grandma’s coming around at 8:30am with cakes and I’m off to Co-Op for some pastries before Beagle Meet.
