Referee....Howard Webb....Scorers...Jamie Mackie for QPR & Brett Holman for Villa

£45 a ticket!!! Seba & JK have some work to do convincing dom to go that sh*thole but with Phil & Nath wanting to go aswell, dom finally relents. Seba, JK & Dom nearly lose out on tickets by waiting for criteria to drop but fortunately we get them just in time, Seba pulls a fast one with the ticket office and manages to swap chris & jims references over to phil & naths so they both have an away for this season now, sorted! The day arrives and we''re on the 8.30 train from new st, our mate andy is on the posh train for a few quid more. Nath & Phil have obviously spoken beforehand as they are both dressed as twins in black jackets & same colour chino''s! Get on the train with stella''s at the ready, we have a relatively quick 2 hour journey down there without any arguments or heated debates of note. Arrive at euston and phil is more than happy to oblige taking a photo with his hand precariously close to jk''s crotch (no comment). Walk it down to O''Neills for beer & breakfast, dom has his full irish, seba scoffs at the price of £8 for a veggie breakfast so decides to wing it on an empty stomach (later to his regret). Nice pint of stella black in there and as is the usual tradition around by euston, we opt to pop into the scotsman (phyllis''s 1st time). Well, what more needs to be said about the scotsman that hasnt already by many travelling football fans... what a f**k*ng sh*th0le. The usual only pop in for 1 is spoiled by phils eagerness to buy a 2nd round of pints (of pish, in plastic glasses might i add), booourrns! We neck the 2nd round as we hear that andy (der schwule) is in his stomping ground of the griffin and he''s telling us to get up there. Off to the tube station... wtf £8 for a tube card to go 2 zones... rip off merchants. Bit of a walk to the griffin using doms sat nav trying to find the way, not knowing what to expect, seba doing his usual photographer role along the way, we finally arrive and wow... what have we been missing. The scotsman is like a very poor poor mans griffin! Its safe to say we enjoyed it in there, so we have 1 or 2 in there and realise we''re gonna be late for the game (the least surprising news of the day), head back towards the tube, but make sure to stop at the offy beforehand to give the middle finger to boris johnson and his no drinking on the tube rule! By now we''re all quite liquored up, taking some good pics and also seba, jk & phil doing pull ups! Walk to the ground and for some unknown reason seb & dom drunkenly have a touristy type picture taken outside the bbc studios (why i dont know). The ground is a mission away from the tube, finally get there, decide to use the bogs and sods law, missed holmans goal...FFS. Get to the seats and realise dom was right, it is a dive. Mackie equalises for them, Benteke has a goal disallowed for us in the 1st half, then 2nd half we seem to be hanging on for dear life, not happy about the 2nd half performance but with abit of attacking emphasis we couldve got the 3 points. After the game saw us head back to some pub right by euston to watch man.u-reading game, seba & nath head off to get some food but by this time its too little too late as the dreaded daytime-hangover is kicking in on seba, terrible headache. Go nando''s and get some chicken wings for the train, tell phil & dom we''re getting on the quarter past one, unfortunately we hadnt encountered it also being full of rugby, arsenal & villa fans... the train was horrendously overcrowded (much to doms displeasure as there were no seats and we didnt get any booze for the journey back either). JK falls asleep in the bit between the 2 carriages then gets woken up and we finally get some seats and its one of the more quieter journeys back home, with the obvious exception of JK''s potty-mouth next to a child. Was exhausted by the time we got back just wanted to get home. Overall, a decent away day, couldve been better with a better result and better journey home, highlights being the griffin and JK at the game calling someone a fat c**t and the female steward infront of us saying oi, im fat and then us lot saying argh, nah you''re not fat... well yes she was lol! Wont go back anytime soon.
