He supports Bolton apparently.
So, the 2000 FAC semi-final won't cloud his judgement, then?

Lee Masons a funny ref, he is invariably an absolute homer and is easily swayed by a crowd getting on his back and I can think of quite a few times we’ve benefitted from that and away from home where we haven’t. So at a neutral ground hopefully he won’t be too bad.

In the 2000 FA Cup final we were crap but so were Chelsea there really wasn't much in it which made it so disappointing to lose.
If only we had showed up that day, it was there for the taking.
In 2015 we were terrible, it was the beginning of the end, with relegation the following season.
Absolute catastrophe for me personally as it cost me a small fortune to get to see it, as I managed to get a week off work and travelled from Australia.
Against  Man City I think we all are not expecting to win but I just hope we can frustrate them and give them a decent game, then you never know.
same. Cost me a small fortune in airfare and getting on the piss for a week in London. My mate, bless him, wouldn’t take my money for the club Wembley ticket that his old man managed to get for us.

Had a class day out in the black lion, kilburn. We lost. I flew back next weekend, travel visa from Aus ran out, so had to pay for that when I got back and a speeding ticket that arrived in the post whilst away, then got made redundant on the Wednesday the next week back at work. Triffic.

Chelsea was honestly 100% shitter than that.

And don't forget the free bed and board in Lewisham....

Shit Rob,  if I’d known I’d have bought you an extra pint at closing time in the Black Lion

For anyone trying now to avoid the queue click on the link on the twitter page for the stadium tours and it will bypass the system and take you through to the ticket office without queuing!
Just tried and it worked.
