Mad to think Broadway has become this hive of activity - it was the pub which was getting run down where I watched England beat Germany 5-1 and City lose to Spurs in the League Cup final

@Brizzle Fox - Brizzle, I like the cut of your jib. My preliminary investigation into Bristol's boozers for G.Friday (staying over) is very fruitful; almost too much to choose. I know King Street well but can you distill the best spots elsewhere - I notice there are two or three towards Spike Island type area which will make a welcome half-way point post-match.

f**kin christ there's some pub potential in this

Everyone falling for Kel the Cup King. Only functions in the trophies

He’s done well at Atalanta. Can’t really deny that.

Crowd has to be loud. First I ever known QPR to take 3k somewhere outside of London.

Highly, highly recommend a visit to Bilbao for footy. Ground is slap in the centre

My bad

That's Bristol Rovers.

Definitely some old ‘faces’ on that trip. The plane out might as well have been a stag do

In terms of teams we played in the CL, PSV and Roma are equal to all bar Atletico. Sevilla probably not far off the same

Just full of Villa on their way to West Ham

Good point

Arsenal away at 1230 - time gap would allow supporters to disperse on that occasion.

Both free of television and no midweek games either side for both teams, so possibility. Could always be a later Sunday kick off. West Ham and Chelsea are a fair old distance between them.

Highly doubt that. The Police won’t allow Chelsea and Fulham on the same day given the proximity. Even more so if you put Tottenham in the mix with that as well

Won’t be the Saturday. Fulham are playing Spurs at 5.30. Sunday - West Ham v Villa at 2pm. So that one will be up to the Met.

At first, I thought the draw was shite but now I’m warming to it

You did well. I found them the worst of the hosts. I know of at least two set of City fans ambushed/barracked into a pub with them throwing stuff

The other nugget is the Leicester fan on the deck of the bus 🤣

No disorder at all as I understand it with rival fans. The city is too big and our numbers were too large where collecting. Unlike some of the other trips away where there were attempted ambushes (Rennes in particular bad for this). It kicked off numerous times with the coppers in the ground. We were subject to not far off a military operation though. A meeting point for coaches to get into the stadium. Then after the game (after 90 minutes) buses back to Termini and having to walk through Rome as they had purposely cancelled public transport. Those that did make their own way to the Olimpico had a very awkward walk over the bridge where their ultras like to collect.

Did it with Cov and Maidstone. TV wanted it on the Monday, so that meant Cov v Preston moved to the Friday. Albeit it was already arranged league game. They did it with very little notice given Cov’s fourth round replay

Ovaltine and Horlicks sales went through the roof at Dean Court with the late finish

Anyone notice Justin invert when Praeet went off?
