Completed my 3 hour trip up & having to endure full kit wanker Villa fans in Frankley service station - I bet they’re more nervous that we will be
Here’s hoping that when if I see William on Wednesday I can mutter SOTV, Sir!
Why, I might even take a Tesco bag to the Palace if it all works out well for us & leave it somewhere...

Did not think I would be nervous but I am so went to shop to get some cigs, some seal supporters donned in kit and absolutely awful villa trainers huddled around cash machine. Listened to them talking about how it would all be over by 1 pm. Over confidence may be their Achilles heel .

This is my only worry not greasy Jack or Mcginn but given how we have bottled numerous chances to go top 2 this season i hope we don't hand it to those wankers on a plate, however if we are at it those seals will be crying in their fish buckets tonight.

Went on a massive chocolate, lager and pizza binge afterwards to so need to get the weight back under control.
Weight never been an issue for me but certainly feeling less fit by the minute!
Strangely I just weighed myself and it’s barely changed. I was 12 stone 10 on marathon day, 12 - 11 now. I was getting dangerously close to 14 this time last year.
I never bother tbh my trousers always seem to fit.
A lot of mine are too big now! Had to buy a new belt to keep them up.
A couple of the blue tic tacs does that for me!

Just back from a 6 miler, all the little niggles and pains I ignored during training are back with a vengeance now. Knee hurt to buggery, plus the heavens opened and I got pissed on.
Next step, shower, food then prepare for the arrival of my Seal mate.

Unfortunately it's the team and they're quite good.

The nerves are in full flow now.
Stomach churning and can’t sit still.
The next 3 hours are going to be excruciating.

Daughter was just in a gym competition and was "nervous as hell" beforehand. I told her I was really nervous as well which she took to mean for her, bless her.
