    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...

    Don’t forget your laptop bag.

    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?
