Porto memories

[CtidBlueMooner]

So many, but in no particular order...

• The look of horror on the Blues' face having queued 15 mins at HT for a Beer, only to get told by a mate that it was non-alcoholic
• The look of dejection on my face at 18:45 Saturday, seeing the team sheet & thinking "he's done it again"
• All those steps. The ones by Luis 1 bridge - I'll never complain heading to L7 St James Park EVER again
• Flying standby to a Champions League final - worked perfectly
• Dragao Stadium police confiscating my small hand sanitizer pot....errr Covid-19 anyone ?
• Unofficial fanzone by the River - no wristbands required
• Meeting up with old friends and making new ones - priceless
• Friendly and helpful locals, Metro staff and yes...Police. I find if you don't act like a dick in the house of someone you've never met before, things work out fine
• Smirking at the Chelsea fans singing "your support is...." whilst sitting in one of the 800 unsold seats they returned
• Helping a fellow Blue (Michael C I think) + a few others sort Passenger Landing form/Day 2 Test issues at Porto Airport check-in yesterday am. Took me 15 mins, but I sorted it and he made the flight instead of being left behind all alone in a foreign country

What were yours ?

Nothing will beat this.

Meeting the lad who sorted my ticket out. Only for him to tell me that he posts on Bluemoon, and that we spent years going at it like cats and dogs. Hahaha. Lovely stuff.

Haha. Who was it?

my mate was in the stadium in a different stand and told the blue next to him that his mate (me) had his bag nicked and the guy replied "is he called Didsbury Dave?".

The power of blue moon eh?

@jay_mcfc

He's known for ages too, just didn't let on. We sat down on Saturday morning and he said "you don't know who I am on Bluemoon do you?". My fucking face dropped for a second. hahahaha.

Haha. @jay_mcfc is a good poster. He just doesn't recognise a shit manager when he sees one.

I would have loved to have bought you both a pint.

The second point on your list, very understandable.

Just a great trip, brilliant memories with my lad.

Zabba and Andy Morrison taking time for photos, Kompany driving off avoiding fans when we needed a Captain to lift the us Sunday morning.

Met some good Chelsea fans Sunday as the 2 sets of fans sang together on the front.

Gutted with the result but as the Chelsea fans say, imagine losing your first final to a slipped penalty.

My Favourite Picture in Years. Gonna get a print and frame this one
It sums up the trip from the start. Shame about the game but it’s up there with one of or prob the best in about 30 euro aways I’ve done

Is that the lad who lost his bank card etc.? If so, he's looking for you on facebook to repay you.

Just said the same. Left the ground feeling proper low but on reflection this trip was up there with the very best. Loved every single minute of it until kick off
