Managed to squeeze in a cheeky little trip over to the UK for a weekend. It's been 10 years since my last wembley visit and in that time it has gone from being one of the crappiest football venues in the country to without doubt one of the best. Gone are the obstructed views, benches bolted to what was standing terrace, no toilets, even the food was cheaper than 10 years ago and they had cleaners making sure everything was a spotless as possible inside the stadium. A national stadium fit for it purpose....finally.
The game itself wasn't all what it could have been, but finals rarely are. We won, that's the main thing, could have done without it going to extra time and penalties though as that made the trip from Wembley to Heathrow for my 20:15 flight a race against time, worked out almost perfectly in the end though - arriving at the airport with 30 mins to spare, although i did have to forgo seeing them handed the cup in order to achieve this. Bah.

Friday night and saturday were spent in Southampton with Tim, my little bro really knows how to look after his guests, tour of the city followed by pub lunch of fish and chips. Sunday morning he served up a cooked breakfast which i regrettably didn't get to capture with my camera before it disappeared down my gullet.

All in all a marvellous weekend.
