So Roman’s russian off to Moscow in his yacht whilst most UK fans now try and get out their mastercard to pay for the Visa to get into Red Square.

 The most depressing, well one of the most, things about us not getting to the final this year is that Man Utd will get all the Red Square shit in the headlines, as if they have the best away fans and so forth.

Well here are my colours nailed to the mast, I really hope Chelsea win it.  But I’m gutted that we didn’t get through. And yet part of me is relieved. For losing to Utd and worse, getting to Moscow and back safely, with some money left and all my limbs, was too much to bear.

But to be honest of course I wanted us to win. And we nearly did, Babel’s late goal giving rise to another possible glorious night in Europe, but of course, it was Riise’s dive that did the damage…

For us, losing Skrtel so early was a hammer blow, and who’d a thought that would be have been said when the Czech killer arrived this year? But Gerrard looked out of it, and Fernando’s knackered and we couldn’t quite push it. But I’ll tell you one thing, even on the radio, you could hear our fans at their small shed, singing louder than the Chelsea fans with their plastic flags…

So now we have to get on with the rest of the season, I bet we suddenly look very tired indeed.. well done lads but I’m sad and red and tired
