    Now boarded. Proper gate rather than remote which helps. Will try and stay awake for a cup of tea and maybe some breakfast and then grab 90 minutes or so sleep.
    Mustn't forget my laptop bag which I've stashed under the middle seat; exactly the sort of thing that I do, especially when in a rush. I lost two very good pairs of headphones on separate occasions when rushing to make connections in the US. Someone reminds me to make sure I take it...

    You’ve stashed it in the middle seat.

    Took ages for every cunt to board, and now we have an air traffic delay. So, roughly 15 minutes late to Heathrow. Assuming no further delay should be ok. They always say they'll try and make up time, but in my experience it never happens going into Heathrow as the slots are so loaded.

    20 minutes circling. Could have been worse I suppose. Hoping desperately for the A gates now...

    Have you been awake since yesterday morning? Good effort if so.

    Gate A12 which is about the best. Although apparently they're waiting for some light to go on first, so waiting nearby at the moment.

    Almost. Grabbed a 90 minutes siesta before the match. Cumulative total of about 90 minutes on the flight.

    PLEASE take Yates off.

    Yet those wot are inclined to vote on the beeb site gave him the third highest player rating? Didn't manage to watch the match, so no comment myself.

    Also why have we changed shirt sponsor? Is it just for Europa League matches?

    Had the pleasure of Heathrow today, after a 9 hour flight back from Canada really didn’t need the hour wait for baggage. Half was done fairly quick and the hundred or so people left were told it was all off. Well clearly it wasn’t and after checks they discovered they had left half of it airside. Everything was so much smoother the Canadian side as they actually employ staff to do things.

    But we did have some pissed up twat from another flight to help pass the time as he was shouting his head off in the terminal first at his poor wife and then at the security. He was shouting about the boats and that he was English. And then telling the security to ‘go home’. He was a great advert for Brexit Britain for the arriving tourists. The police arrived as we were leaving, hopefully they locked the cunt up.
