Re: Empty Wembley
I'm clearly the only person who thinks otherwise but if it hadn't been for money & scheduling issues I'd have loved to go tonight. But then I have a bizarre deep fondness for Finland as a country.

Re: Haaland's Incredible Scoring Record
It was Brentford and Ben Mee was assigned to Haaland in at least one game. His pockets have an incredible collection of players in them for someone too old, slow, injury prone and not good enough on the ball.
