I shat myself that night. Had no way of following the game in Shanghai so asked my nephew to txt me from Villa Park. First two texts I got at 6am were for the opening Blackburn goals. Only when I scrolled down did I see we had won.

Got evicted from my seat in the upper Witton End so had to sit in Witton Lane. I really thought we had f'ed it up at 30 or so minutes but forgot for a moment that it was Blackburn we were playing our cup poodles.
