I must have been lucky as my day was fantastic from the first minute to the last[Ok apart from the first 45 minutes on the pitch,lol!]
I go to games on my own,my two best mates i used to go with in my youth now sadly no longer with us,gone too soon.
Everyone i spoke to and encountered yesterday was ace. I chatted with a lad from Wytheshawe on the 07:25 flight and had a laugh,especially when we both benefitted from the fit stewardess leaning over to fix the young kid's seatbelt next to him,her boobs in his face and her arse in mine,oh the joys of an aisle seat,lol!
I then had a couple of drinks and met some lovely locals and City fan's in the Sawyers Arms near Paddington station,one young drunken ginger haired City fan hugging me to death and repeating it when he saw me outside Wembley later,lol! A nice chat with a young couple on the train down and another chat later with the same couple who were on my flight home.Another great chat with a young lad from Dublin on the train back who had bought a ticket from a Blue Mooner on here,all in all a fantastic day.
There were over 30 thousand of our lot there yesterday and amongst that many people you will always get some that drink too much or can't behave properly,but on the whole most people are great.My heart goes out to any Blues who got stuck amongst arseholes but that is the lottery of a match,we can often find ourselves stuck in the company of people for ninety minutes we wouldn't normally choose to socialize with.
To anyone who i met and chatted with yesterday i hope you all got home safe and well and thanks for the company!
