I've just noticed that OGC Nice are "Les Aiglons" - The Eagles...

Strange, are we are playing 2 upfront?

Was curious to note the team flew out from Biggin Hill* (which is where Alireza flew into) rather than Shoreham Airport. You think that given you can see Shoreham airport from the training ground they'd use it.



* A lot of the players posted on Instagram while waiting for take-off.

Could that be because there are a number of private hire jet companies operating out of there and it is easily accessibly from the M25. David Gold owns one company based there. Is there not also a restriction on the planes that can use Shoreham but I am sure I remember years ago my in laws using ti to go to Guernsey.

I would guess the size plane needed might not be able to land/take off at Shoreham as its runway is 800 metres shorter than at Biggin Hill

They better extend the Shoreham runway then for when the Albion are in the Champions League and the opposition are flying in!

Must be croquet?

'Like the Aiglons, the English will resume the championship on August 11, during a trip on the lawn of Watford'.

The Eagle is the bird that is on the flag of Nice.....

Lovely City and my favourite outside the UK. I don't think that I will be there this year though, alas. It will be the first year I will miss my Nicefix since 2002.

From that it looks like a 4, 4, 2.

02: Jahanbakhsh switches the ball to March - his volley is saved and Albion win the first corner of the game.

Good means he will score a couple own goals ����️️And we will win.

07: Bissouma breaks up play well and sets Andone in on goal, but the striker fires narrowly wide of the top corner.

Sounds like he's settling in nicely.
