I'm carrying a heavy cold around with me so gobbling Ibuprofen and Jakemans. Didn't stop me having a few yesterday and a kebab, feed a cold etc.

Nursing a tea at breakfast now, this 10pm kick off means leaving the handbrake on for most of the day.

4am and the bars, kebab shops and brothels are still buzzing.
Yes the number of young ladies trying to “comfort” us is quite overwhelming. However kebabs smell nice, which is not normal.

You poor lambs!

Alan Hutton and James Chester being mobbed by Aston Villa fans in Taksim Square are exactly the scenes you want to see.

Also out there, as seen on FB, Ross Barkley having a beer, Gabby, Stan Petrov, Ashley Young

The travel guidance says there’s free transport/shuttle buses from the airport to Taksim, just need to show your match ticket.
The driver on Havaist bus didn’t get that or wasn’t able to understand it. So we had to pay.

"Ücretsiz bilet" is the lingo for "free ticket". Add "mi" to make it a question.

Absolutely torrential here at the moment. Fan park is a damp (soaking) squib.
