I have 2 tickets for this afternoon only for the wife to receive a call this morning saying her father is in Bristol Royal Infirmary and not going to last long. So now sat in Costa at the hospital whilst she visits / says her goodbye.

So sorry to hear that.

Thanks all. Massively appreciated especially by the wife (or will be when I tell her). This is a nice place. Enjoy the match all especially those lucky enough to be in the ground. I’ll have to make do with tomorrow’s game until August.

and the 8-0 and couple of 3-0s other than that...  but I agree at home we have stood up to them unlike v Man ure.

I just meant the VP games.

Think Chelsea have only beaten us at VP by more than a goal margin twice in last 22 years.

Has booing taking the knee happened? I shouldn't be surprised but what's the flimsy justification given for booing it?

It's happened a few times in London, think cup final had some before they got drown out by applause.

Tedious excuse of BLM's views on some subjects rather than the wider view of equality.

Hope it dosen't happen in an hour.

'BLM' doesn't really have views beyond the screamingly obvious, as many of its founders profoudly disagree on many issues. Seeing Killer Mike and Cornel West as the same just because they support and influence BLM (read - are black) is just racist, and the booers should be shamed and/or shown the door.
