Blue is the colour (except on Ashley Cole)

THWARTED by goal difference for the top spot in the Premiership table, but now top of the Champions League group — am I happy? No.

Blue is the colour (except on Ashley Cole)

I enjoyed Sofia though, despite having the mother of all hangovers on the day of the game. They shouldn’t be allowed to sell alcohol that cheap: all it does is encourage those of us with no willpower to over indulge to the point of utter stupidity. Having been to Sofia before, we didn’t do the sites this time (all two of them), instead we ill-advisedly plonked ourselves in the hotel bar from 1pm-1am. Being a Five Star hotel I was expecting a bit of a hammering when the bill arrived and so was pleasantly surprised when it totalled just under €300 — that’s all day and all night drinking for six people, including lunch and an evening meal, all for under €50 each!

Although we did all feel rather sheepish when a Bulgarian friend that joined us the next day told us that our bar bill was the equivalent of a months wages for him.
