The Getting Home From Madrid Thread

A thread for all of us pissed off / heartbroken / knackered commuters to get us through the day of getting home.

Flew in on Friday to Alicante and just woke up in a hotel an hour out of Madrid. Dad snoring all night. Driving back to Alicante for an evening flight later and wondering whether this is the beginning, the end, or both.

Saw a lot of people crying their eyes out yesterday, even after the game. I'm 32 and this is my 20th year as a ST holder. I hate Liverpool more than any other club and I care more about the CL than any other tournament. (Fuck Wenger and his 'win your own league first' calm and collected style comments. The CL is the big boy for me). And there are far too many scousers here and will be on the plane home.

I'll be home by about 10, will probably check in on a close friend who is suffering with very bad depression and then a week of work awaits me with probably no news coming out of the spurs camp even though The Poch will be wanting early investment. (well, OK, I'm not expecting ultra immediate signings but you know what I mean.)

Guess I'll focus on the other parts of my life and make some summer plans.

So lads and ladies. How's your day playing out here in Spain and how are you gonna handle it?

Flew back very early this morning having had no sleep. Absolutely dead on my feet. Its my father's stone setting today. Was really hoping we could win it for him but alas.

I’m going to take a more leisurely drive back than the mad dash to get to Madrid, might even stop off in Biarritz or somewhere nice to recover.

Got a coach to Malaga straight after the game. Slept the whole way.

Went for a 7am swim, breakfast and then sightseeing. Chilling on the beach now.

Fly back tomorrow night. Not so bad, really. Feel like I need a mini-holiday from football.

Was supposed to leave Madrid at 8am but got delayed for 90 minutes. Arrived at Paris CDG. Train and taxi to other Orly Paris airport to collect the car. Currently in another traffic jam driving back through Paris. At least I can see the Eiffel Tower in the distance. Was supposed to arrive at Calais about 3pm to get the 3:48pm but it’s now saying arrival at 5pm. Jus realised I’ve been in three different airports in less than 24 hours

Wow

Our coach drivers just drove off from a services and left a woman behind. Refused to go back and pick her up. Only took a guy calling them ****s and the worst drivers ever for him to give it and turn round

I got the train to Valencia too this morning. Flight out at 17.15 and just got back home. A long hungover day.
