    I was getting a train in the opposite direction yesterday. 14:00 - 16:09, Sheffield to London. Train left Sheffield 10 minutes late, got to Derby, and was then cancelled. Had to stand on a platform in Derby for 30 minutes and then we all piled on the next London train. Got a seat thankfully, but many didn't. Finally got to London at about 17:30. I actually had the Nintendo Switch with me, some snacks and cold drinks, and honestly it wasn't the end of the world. Had a nap for the last 30 minutes even. Bonus is I'll get a full refund of the ticket price.

    I just feel for the old ladies who had to stand all the way to London as Jim grabbed the last seat in the carriage by leaping over the chair behind.

    You snooze you lose.

    They’re too old for rabble rousing and tomfoolery.

    I bet a Werther’s Original stall outside Wembley would have made a mint (or a toffee).

    I think it probably helped that they do have a fair number of ‘neutrals’ following them to big games, there were a couple of Leicester fans and a Forest fan sat behind us with respective Notts mates.

    With us navigating a couple of 5 year olds and a 9 year old back I was just grateful they weren’t twats.

    A few years ago we were coming back from London on the train, Jr was then about 10.

    There were some rowdy blokes on the table behind us.

    Mrs Les is Scouse. After she layed into them for 5 minutes there was no more rowdyness. Just sheepish apologies.

    Shady's fucking brutal when it comes to seats, tickets and turnstiles.

    No one is safe or off limits. Fuck the weak and screw the meek is his mantra.

    As we are verging on a love in, if it helps redress the balance there was a pissed up fat twat on the row behind us who chucked his drink in the air when they scored, which bit of went on my neice and most of on her programme, there was only a mumbled apology despite her crying her eyes out. I explained it's often like this, after i'd been down stairs on a failed mission to buy another one or get one from customer (no) assistance.

    You can buy one from ignition sports media online for 10 quid

    No direct consolation, but at Wembley prices he might as well chuck a tenner in the air.

    And I've used Ignition for programs I've missed before so that's a good shout.

    That’s better. What a bunch of cunts.

    When I'm in charge people who throw their drinks in the air at public events will get dragged round the back and given a kicking.

    For the senseless waste of good alcohol obviously.

    Water was £3 a bottle. The queue for the single water station was about 200 people long. You could take a 500ml bottle in with you if you took the lid off but in heat lasted about 9 seconds so people were buying the stuff by the armful.

    You lot really are putting in some hard yards to try and make Australia seem like a civilised country.
