Thoughts on yesterday’s game

⚽ #ChelseaFC #cfc

• we were great for 20 minutes, then it felt like we were grinding it out a bit

• it was the best I’ve seen Fernandez play

• the ‘new’ Wembley stadium is growing on me, even though it’s still horrible to get to and from

• a young friend of mine says his South American girlfriend would have definitely heard of the famous Wembley Stadium….but only as a music venue

• Leeds vs Chelsea at Wembley. For an old git like me, it’s a great fixture

• both sets of fans were obnoxious to each other. Who knew so many Leeds fans' fathers had their own guns?

• according to a chum of mine, they sung that song even when we’d been in different divisions for years

• Sanchez was brilliant

• Palmer doesn’t look fit. I thought to start with he was defensively rubbish, but then he did a couple of great tackles and interceptions, so I take that back

• I’m sure he’ll be pleased

• it was quite fun having the Semi Final on the same day as the London Marathon, but it made public transport a bit busy

• I now have distance envy

• ‘When the Blues go steaming in’ was a bit odd when the Blues were standing on the Wembley escalators, holding the handrails

• we were standing from Wembley to Bond Street, and then from Waterloo to Fareham. I think that puts all those marathon runners in the shade, tbh
