Chelsea Away 24 Jan 2015

What a day. I'll never forget the family party I went to, then stared at my phone for two hours...

 

Laurel and Hardy on the way back Andy to finish the day off

 

My favorite Andy

 

We were on a cruise, sailing in the Caribbean

 

Can never decide which goal I liked best. All 4 were great. Stead with a great strike, Morais at the back post right in front of the city fans, Halliday banger or the lovely hold up ply by Stead and great finish by Yeates. What a game.

 

If you could turn the clock back, which would you prefer / do ..........................
Cruising in the Caribbean, or watching City at Stamford Bridge cruise past Chelsea ?

 

It was a retirement celebration so a hard one to call. We sailed from Southampton to Brisbane. We might have had to postpone it until the following year

 

Didn’t realise that Mo Salah played in that game.

 

Last game for Chelsea...Mourinho then flogged him to Fiorentina on loan

 

I wrote this a few years ago about my experience. My Uncle kindly posted it on C&B 2 years ago so I thought I'd post it here too if anyone is interested.

Just behind Villa away,I say just. then Weeds at home cheers Billy. I had up until then never see us beat the weeds.

 

It was a great read first time around and still a great recollection of that special day in SW6 1HS .

 

Thanks @Bronco!

 

I’d rather step into the future and witness a grim 0-0 draw with Wimbledon that secures us 20th spot.

 

I've had some good away days following city but this beats them all hands down, I remember saying to my old man in the 1st half "we're playing well here" there was just a buzz in the ground a wierd feeling that something was gonna happen, even at 2 down I thought we were still in it, we were playing that well, then up steps Stead and the rest is history, unreal day I will never ever forget!!

 

did we break Mourinho? Never really had that invincible aura for long after that
Before Tyson lost to Buster Douglas he looked invincible, he did come back after that but never had the same feeling about him, same with Mourinho after us.

Thoughts?

 

Yes I think we did. He vastly underrated Bradford Citys awesomeness

 

Can't say it made 30 + years worth while ,
But it comes close.
Once in a lifetime game
