I have only seen us win twice at Chelsea,both times behind enemy lines - in2002 and last year on New Year's Eve.

Stand up when we score, adopt a look of exasperation, let all the joy express itself in your eyebrows, and rush off to the bogs for a celebratory squeal.

Last year I started a chorus of booing at the back of the west stand when it was 3-1 to us, which was picked up by a few fans in front of me and then spread around the ground. It was both cathartic and absolutely fucking hilarious as the fans who had been hailing Drogba when he scored their penalty turned and started calling him a donkey,saying he had no pride.

I assume  they were saying the same after their final v Bayern...

I sat in the Stretford End when we played at Man Utd in the FA Cup in 2006/07 (Dad and brother support them) - When Baros equalised I just glanced at my old man with the smuggest of smiles on my face. It was bloody horrible when Solskjaer scored in stoppage time, I just sat there with my head in my hands.

I also sat in the home end at Reading in 2007/08 - I was about five seats away from the Villa end and jumped up for both goals, but as most of the people there were locals who didn't realise Reading had a football team until they got promoted, no one seemed to mind.

I was in the Liverpool end last Saturday it was bloody horrible,the day could have been twice as good if I was in the away end,sat there quiet as a mouse the whole 90 minutes and listened to them moaning the whole time

I think I would have took some immense, sadistic pleasure from this.

I stood right at the back of the old Kop in, I think, 89 when we were battling it out at the top of the league with them. Very difficult when we scored first as it was such a crucial goal. Ended 1-1 I think and for some reason I visualise Staunton scoring for us but can that be right?

Turned down an offer of a ticket for the last League Cup final because it was in the United end. Wouldn't trust myself in amongst that lot.

sit in with the Man Ure fans every year at OT - polite applause plus a smug grin when gabby scored in the win a couple of years ago - most other years sit there quietly and suffer

couldn't contain myself last year when Ash took a dive tho - most people ignored me but except the bloke in front who turned around and agreed with me

For some reason, there were 2 other brummies behing me last year, one villa fan plus one of the unwashed!!!

Ian Olney. Great goal. I was in the kop myself and I'm sure I remember seeing someone in a Villa scarf in there.

Olney after a few minutes followed by a Peter Beardsley strike from quite a distance that Spink (?) should have stopped is what's in my mind; but sometimes the memorise merge together these day!

I've done it at Chelski, in the stand opposite the three-tier jobby.

I got two tickets off my gaffer, in the posh seats, took my mate down and just went to enjoy the day out as it was at the height of their Mourinho days.

When Luke Moore put us in front, I jumped out of my seat, spun round and sat back down immediately when I realised what I'd done.

I was starting to get some grief, but Lampard equalised inside a minute, and everyone calmed down a bit.

Not much fun, to be honest.

I was stood on the Kop at St Andrews in 1987 when Garry Thompson scored 2 to beat Blues. I didn't really celebrate either goal that much...just dug my fingernails into the palms of my hands!

I enjoyed it in the same way you'd enjoy being held hostage by Al Qaeda.

I was on the Kop that day too.  Remember my mate digging me in the ribs when Olney scored - we couldn't stop smiling.  Happy days.
