So we made it back home! A reasonable flight lasting 10 hours saw us land at Gatwick on time at 17:30.

I dont know what I'm more nervous about, the 4 weeks away or the first match. Those of you who know me won't be surprised! I'll be the one on TV blubbing when the anthems are being played and hiding my head when play gets under way.... read more
