I had just split from the missus and living in shitty digs in Crawley. Managed to find a pub with sky and asked the Landlord to put it on. Sat on my own like a twat in the corner........bad memories...
My memories are nowhere near as bad as yours Flash, but...
I was at uni at the time and took the whole uni football teams I was playing for to a pub I knew would be showing this game for our every Wednesday "social" event. I'd told them they would see a "proper" game and a "proper" team - most of them were from Bracknell or Guildford but had an Aunt who had once been to Manchester, so of course they were all Man U, Chelsea and Liverpool fans.
I've never been more ashamed. They all looked at me at the end of the game as if to say: "you do a 140 mile round trip every other weekend to watch that shite?"
