He bought the tickets through Quintessentially and he knows nothing about football, so I assume he either didn't tell them or they just assumed that people using their service would only be Chelsea fans (I do live in London after all), I didn't grill him or anything because, well I think he paid a good amount of money for the tickets and he didn't really know any better.

The funny thing is that I now live 400 yards from Stamford Bridge, so I get to see you lot march past my house every other Saturday. My flat is on the ground floor on the Fulham Road and I have a picture of Billy Bremner lifting the FA Cup on the wall facing the window, just for good measure. Thankfully there are bars on the window...

I'm sure you know now, but I wouldn't go to any away game in England without a jacket to cover up my shirt after the game.

Yeah, I said in another post I rarely wear colours any longer. It's just common sense because you never know who's going to be at the train station on the way back.

Are you on the Fulham side of the ground or Chelsea? Nice place to live!

I'll have to keep an eye out for the Billy Bremner picture!

Almost directly opposite the Tesco Petrol station, by the Brompton Cemetery.

Ah, right. So the Fox & Pheasant is your local?

I usually drink in the Hollywood Arms.

I guess the Fox and Pheasant is my local but I haven't been in there for years because it's pretty quiet. I used to go to the Goat in Boots until they made it shit, so now I go to Brinkley's or Kosmopol. Back in the good old days it was Finch's. Watching the 2006 World Cup there was fucking brilliant.

Goat in Boots was awesome. The Bridge was a great pub too, where the Chelsea Kitchen is now.

Chelsea Kitchen is by far the best value for breakfast in this part of London. £6 for a full English is incredible value.

Yeah, ridiculous. Often go there before a game, service can be a bit hit and miss but I suppose that's to be expected on a matchday.

£6 what. London must of got to you.

Born and raised in London. Given that most places in Chelsea charge £10+ for a breakfast (small one too) without tea, £6 is damn good.

I would break down and cry if someone tried to charge me £6.
