The station opened and we were on the move. Today was the day we were to see Man U-Arsenal, the reason we came and the reason we switched our return flight to a later date. We had to get back to the hostel, pack, check out and get to Euston-we-have-a-problem by 9. The trains in the tube took forever to arrive. I did manage to find a random braided lock of hair while we were waiting. Nobody seemed to want it though... We got back to the hostel, packed quickly and noisily, got a quick picture with the Flying Finn, and took off.
Hit Euston no problem. Coming out of the bathroom, we saw a mob of Arsenal fans sprinting toward a platform. This made us think two things: "Oh shit, are we gonna get a seat?" and "Oh shit, what's gonna happen to us for being United fans?" As it turned out, we got seats and nothing happened, but the worst was yet to come. fcuk the gap
Woke up on the train while passing Villa Park. Snow was still on the ground, and sheep were dotting the landscape. Apparently, they escaped the slaughter incurred on country livestock due to the foot in mouth virus. The train was moving very slowly. It was official: we were going to be late.
de train, de train!
