Carefree, wherever you may be...


How satisfying is it to beat Man United in the FA Cup Final when you're watching it in a pub full of their smug supporters who have been chanting loudly and insulting your team through the whole bloody game?

Very, very, satisfying indeed.

I thought John Terry's mum cut his hair too. With all the money he makes you'd think he'd have a better 'do.

You may have alienated a few of your followers Lee with this post.
I was there on Saturday and it was a poor game by any standards but we won. 'Blue Is The Colour' on Penny Farthing records - probably the greatest football song ever !
I sit opposite a Man U fan at work and he shook my hand today and said congratulations (that was a shock I can tell you).

I've been a Chelsea fan since 1970 (that mp3 was recorded off my original 45) and don't give a shit what anyone says about our recent success.

Shame that it seems to be the same top 4 teams winning the FA Cup these days. Unprecedented since the Old Etonions and Royal Engineers!

The days of Cup Final giant-killing acts seem to have gone the same way as the working class football fan.

Tears in my beer.

I remember a similar feeling a few years ago - FA Cup 2-0 down at half time surrounded by Liverpool fans making a lot of noise. A Zola-Hughes-Vialli masterclass in the 2nd half made it 4-2. I was on cloud nine for a few days after that.

The ManU fans were quiet throughout the game in my local. In fact it took me a while to realise there were so many of them around as they seem to leave their shirts at home nowadays - weird. They must realise we've only lent them the Prem title this year.

Poor game, but never mind.

I've got the album too. Ossie singing Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep is a highlight.

My 2nd team (there isn't really such a thing I know) Bristol Rovers triumphed at Wembley today in the Div2 play off final. Listening to 40,000 Bristolians singing Goodnight Irene brought a tear to my eye.

Darcy - blue since 66.
