Have i forgotten to mention the very very scary special trait of someone to literally harass the police in a drunken state and actually find a way to make them laugh? Any normal person would have been cuffed and loaded into a car and off to a drunk tank, but this amazing asshole literally spent most of halftime chatting up random coppers and like actually making conversation. Loud insane bolloxy conversation that had fuckall to do with anything. Who the fuck does that?

Also, did i mention that according to the Finns "all Swedish men are gay."

Also if you want to get your dick sucked by the Swedish girls and you are a Finn you better play ice hockey professionally.

i could go on for about 4 hours on this topic i suppose. I'm not proud.

cheers

p.s. i blame Doug for his "chillen" causing me to miss the first 2 City goals. But the sonic boom of the first goal going in just after the monitor Goataldo and I were watching went out was something special. The millisecond it took to realize "That's us!" was like a tsunami that crushed us all and as we celebrated and scrambled around to see the replay on the monitor on the other side of us.....another "boom" went out and we looked up to see Nasri celebrating and it just felt like such destiny. I knew we weren't losing that match at that point once we got our nose in front.

Didn't make the next 35 mins less stressful, but i just felt it couldn't go any other way.

What a day...i want more.

cheers

Quick update from me.

Gutted those Mackem twats ruined covent garden on saturday night as I had planned to meet some people there. Had a great night around kennsington instead, including fronting up some eastern euro goon who was eyeing up pick pocketing some yank tourists.

Got across to the famous green man roundabout with a a bag full of cans to be met by the ani-fun police. What a load of bollox. We could drink anywhere, even talking to coppers, away from the roundabout and street near the gm. but anyone drinking on he grass at he roundabout was getting lifted. Holiday inn car park it was then, we had a good time but I missed the songs and atmosphere we enjoyed last time.

The game- some dick next to my son decided to boo all the way through the national anthem. Wtf was he doing? If he was so anti UK/England he could have stayed downstairs for a while. My son asked why would he do that? To which I could only suggest he was a knob who needed a smack in the face. Disrespectful tit.

Second half was awesome. It's easy to see why we should shoot from distance more often.

After, Easy flow of people to the tube, few cans bought en-route. Easton for about 5.45 home for about 8pm well worth he £30 train fair.

The only bad thing was the number of Mackem sat near me. When hey jumped up when they scored I generated a bad vibe until we scored. Stewards did fuck all except moan at the blues who took exception. I managed to dig one in the ribs on he way out though, cheeky bastard.

Roll on our next visit of h FA cup semi.

I do feel like I bought a Club Wembley ticket by mistake 4 years ago. And yes, they should make our end blue. Perhaps if we all take a marker pen with us each time we can slowly sort it out.

Well done on the dig :-)

I wish there was some way of finding out which blues decided to sell their tickets to opposing fans. This is one of the most disgusting things a blue could do. BAN them for life I say!

If people had made a note of the seat numbers, it would be possible.

Probably turn out to be that they were never sold to City fans in the first place.

There where a couple not far from were we where too and the clowns jumped and celebrated when they scored - they left pretty quick when 5 or 6 people charged towards them.

If it was City fans selling thier tickets they must have sold them on touts or on the ticket websites like that Viagogo maybe?

But - these all had colours on, I saw others in 552 also that where openly walking arround the concourse with colours - the conditions of the tickets states that the Stewards will eject any fans from the wrong area, i'm sure its on the back of the ticket - it is certainly on the conditions that where plastered all over the web pages we had arround travel and access etc - more importantly how the fuck did they let them through the turnstyles??

Good stuff mate and great to see that the loyalty and courage is still strong. Hope your lad had a great time, sounds like a switched on cookie.

PS. To be honest, regarding the away fans issue, I think we should get away from the 'Us and Them' issue now. I'm probably getting a bit older but I'd like to see fans being able to restrain themselves; if you know what I mean.
