Spare a thought for me. Not because I had the desperately needed operation on my prostate yesterday, but because the hospital I’m in is in Middlesbrough! I will be watching on sky wearing black and amber surrounded by nurses supporting Boro! My wish is for all the City fans to have a joyous day at Wembley, sing your hearts out for the lads and come away with a richly deserved win.
Come on you Tigers!!!!

Morning Tim, I hope the operation went well and you’re not feeling too bad. I had a prostatectomy in 2020 during Covid due to cancer at 59 and was back working in less than 5 months. If you’ve had something similar, you will no doubt find the first few weeks a bit difficult but hopefully you will have a relatively positive outcome, as I have and most importantly be around to watch the Tigers go on to have an unprecedented level of success over the next few years.
If you’re on Fentanyl, as I was, you’ll probably be as high as a kite, so won’t be bothered about being surrounded by Smoggies today and can just hopefully, see us return to the Premier League for the first time in 10 years.
All the best for a quick recovery and enjoy the game today.

Feel for those queueing for an hour to board a coach.

Surely we were filling multiple at a time.

Thanks Rover, fortunately not cancer, just a prize marrow of a prostate. I haven’t had to go the whole hog of prostatectomy, I have had a new procedure called aquablation -effectively shredding the prostate with a power washer. It also uses AI to only take away the problem parts and leave the stuff you need so you’re neither drippy or droopy! Will become standard in the future, not yet on the nhs in the north, but I was desperate so paid a small fortune to get it done. Had a snifter of fentanyl with the op (very nice) but only required paracetamol since. Recovery should be much quicker - a victory today will certainly help massively (except the nurses may seek revenge….).
Thanks for your kind words.
Tim

After much deliberation, I finally decided that I just couldn’t cope with the 6-7 hours each way travelling today, especially having spent 7 hours yesterday travelling down to South West Wales for the weekend.
I have a ticket waiting for me there as a group from work have gone down and I even checked train/tube times again this morning but just couldn’t bring myself to do it.
That window has now effectively closed, as I wouldn’t realistically be able to make it now. I’m sure I’m going to regret it as I’m sitting in a pub over here watching the build up but just wanted to wish all the Tigers supporters who will be
there, as well as those who can’t, an amazing day and hope we all get the result we are craving and the Club deserve after an incredible season, in the circumstances.
Finally, thoughts are also with those Tigers supporters who are no longer with us and especially those who never got to experience their team reach the heights that they have during the last 20 years.
