[cdbearsfan]

That we have played London sides 5 times at Wembley and never scored a goal - Spurs 0-2, Chelsea 0-1 and 0-3, Arsenal 0-4 and Fulham 0-1.

2-2 against Tottenham in the 1981 Charity Shield.

I don't know if it's exactly a GOOD boozer but there always seems to be a lot of villa in the Metropolitan on baker street.  It's main advantage is it's an easy tube ride to the stadium.

Not slept last night and can’t shake bad feeling in this. My rationale? Too many parallels in my personal life from 10 years ago that were not good. I have to work up to the first half and no way other than here to monitor match. If match thread gets tense…….

Give me some hope Villains…….

Our club is in a VERY different place to the one it was in 10 years ago, hold on to that, mate. And remember the semi final in 2015!

I was at all of those apart from Spurs in 81, even a 2-0 loss against Arsenal in the 1990 Makita tournament, I don't remember us even having a shot in any of them, sure needs to change today.

The pain still lingers.

If only Lochead had hit it a bit harder!
