Really wanted to go to the screening, always said every year that if we get to the final and I can't go I'm not bloody sitting at home watching it - want to feel part of it, at an event..
So where an I watching it? At my mums.
Just me and her. I got her to the Everton game but it took it out of her and she's not felt well... So after our lifetime of season tickets together I feel I should just be there with mum, in the same room I watched the 81 final in as a 6 yr old.
I know it's not the same as an "event", but I'll be with my 78 year old mum, and that's what matters. Plan to get there for 3 to make sure she's up and eaten, to gee her up a bit. I spent a few hours today putting a load of city stuff up in her lounge to try and help with atmosphere, and made a pretty good tin foil cup that I hope will make her smile!
Have turned the lounge at home blue too, my little boy is so excited! He will be in bed though ( at 4 he loves city but matches are too long!), I'll have a football day with him then I'll go to mums, my other half will watch it on his own trying not to shout as if he wakes our son he's no chance of seeing it!!
I'll still feel jealous of those at the screening though - I can't help it!! ( jealous of those at the game too but I know I couldn't have got to porto so that makes it feel a bit easier!)
