Belfast to Gatwick Friday night. The faffing about trying to get into London without trains. Hook up with a chum near Wembley for a pint or two before a historic triumph. Hopefully Part Two of reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three.

I am flying into Gatwick on the Friday night at 8pm. Any other Blues arriving there at that time want to share cost of a taxi into Morden for the nearest Tube station? About £55. Looks like there will be few if any trains and the bus takes two hours into central London.

Took my son and foster kid (his first ever match) and did the hospitality of the ‘Manager’s Corner.’ There were many tourists in there - including a Yank who was really a U****** fan. But I was pleasantly surprised that many joined in the Poznan and had a go at some of the songs.

I stand corrected.

Are you sure Mr?

They are both wearing designer gear by Tom Ford. Ultra expensive. I think it must be some kind of statement to support Gary Lineker. I googled and I think Tom Ford Supported refugees.

If it goes to VAR it might take until Sunday.

I am a Manc exiled in Belfast. There are a few City supporters here, mostly of certain vintage (Bell, Lee Summerbee etc). But also seeing lots of kids with City tops these days. On my trips home for matches, you might get a dozen City NI fans on the flight.

I was on Porto-Gatwick and then Gatwick-Belfast on Sunday. Coughing neighbouring passenger on the Belfast flight. Test and trace message arrived this afternoon. Supposed to be going on holiday to Scotland on Monday.

The Chelsea fans on my return flight were passing around a picture of a City fan who had a winner's tattoo on his leg. Needless to say they were taking the piss out of him. Anyone know him or what he's going to do now - laser removal?

I was on a Gatwick flight. Quite a few Chelsea did not have all their paperwork- tests presumably and they were left behind after an hour’s delay.

Loads of Chelsea in bars near their fanzone. Aside from that I’ve only seen City in the town.

Agreed. It’s tasty!

Anyone else flying Belfast- Gatwick - Porto tomorrow? Leaving Gatwick at 14.10. I expect I might have a few Chelsea for company

Three times- tickets always come but at a fucking price!

Row 14 for me.

I am in S41. A Porto local me tells all views are good in this stadium. He suggests it will be coolish by the end the game at around 14 degrees with a breeze. Take a jumper, light jacket or do a lot of jumping around everyone.

Anyone else ‘in’ but watching a slowly moving time line thingy?

No I don't trust them. They are clearly in it in the interests of marketing Abu Dhabi to the world. I've been happy to take the positives that they have brought to the club (and those memories can't be taken away) but I always feared that there would come a point when they would show their hand...

I am a Manc exiled in Belfast, so it was a £400 online tout ticket for me. Certainly worth every penny. A couple of pints outside the ground before the match feeling unusually confident. All of course had changed by around 85 minutes when I had given up all hope. The goals, celebrations and...
