How boss was the Chelsea game? We arrived at the ground about 4:30ish and walked over to the fan zone, I heard there was Spanish entertainment on so I thought that would kill a bit of time. As we got there a little girl was reading out the team lineups and after hearing "Steven Naismith" I said come on let's go. I was walking down Goodison Road saying "why? Why Steven Naismith?" We went to the shop by crofts social club, got a drink and went and stood by a someone's garden wall outside the Gwladys street turnstile. About 10 minutes later we went into the ground. "I'm going the toilet" said my bird. "Me too" I replied. Off we went to the toilet and as I walked in there was an envelope by the urinal with tickets in. I had to make a fuss didn't I, "Who's dropped tickets?" I shouted. "Are these anyone's?" Pointing to this envelope on the floor. I realised after I had said this that they were tickets for today's game and basically didn't mean anything. I thought to myself, why am I making a big deal of something that is irrelevant now and secondly, has nothing to do with me? People were looking at the tickets on the floor as I Walked away from them to take a piss. Nobody picked them up, probably thinking "what's this lad on about?"
We made our way to our seats to watch the lads finish off their warm up and pre match nerves kicked in as forever Everton played out the PA system. We all know the rest, we won 1-0, on our way out the lads were singing and my bird said "it's the best game I've been to" "this is just the beginning" I replied. We walked towards the taxi club were her Mum was parked waiting to take us home. Once home I said "lets go out for tea" in the car we got and drove off to a pub by St. Helens called the seven stars were I attempted the 1kg meat challenge. Did I do it? Did I ****!
I left loads of chips, the bun and one burger. Not bad for £9.99 though. Would go there again.
It's West Ham Saturday with the lids and as you know, there'll be some stories to tell come Sunday!
I thought at one point in that story you were going to see red and spark Naismith because he was taking all the attention away from you.
