    Morning Reds

    Unlucky last night, was very keen for you to get a result against Tottenham even if it would have put more pressure on us!

    Off to the other side of the park on Saturday to hopefully thump your neighbours...A mate of mine here in Manc has told me that The Arkles is a safe place to have a pre-match pint...is that true or not?

    There's three of us Chelsea fans who live up here, non rowdy types to be honest but definitely not keen on walking into the wrong place...I normally just rock up and park at the sports centre down the road and walk into the game but a pint is on the agenda this time...

    Looking at the route to the other ground I would have though also best to walk around the park instead of through it, esp on the way back?

    Thanks in advance

    Great pub Tell them you're up to watch the bitters get a stuffing and you'll be fine...oh and don't worry about a stroll back through the park most of the blues will be on their way back to Wales by the time the final whistle blows
