And now, the end is near

So congratulations to Blackburn on clinching the final UEFA cup spot last night, a great win against the newly-crowned Premiership champions (proving once again that they are beatable). 

But hearing this kind of news is kind of depressing in a way, because as the European and relegation positions become confirmed (yeah, and sorry to the Brummies and Baggies -bad luck and all that), you know you're heading towards the end of the season.  I mean there's only one game left (for most clubs) and for us it's a fecking away game too (at Portsmouth no less) so effectively the season finished last week.  And there's something quite sad about removing that last voucher out of your season ticket book, and saying goodbye to the people you sit next to every other week for nine months.  And this is all despite the fact that there's the pleasant distraction of the World Cup throughout the Summer, and despite the fact that the new season will be kicking off in mid-August.  It really isn't good to realise that another season is over..

There's been highs (the win in the FA Cup Semi-Final against Chavski and the return of God) and lows (Losing a European game at Anfield and going out of the Champion's League.  Nuff said) but its been a pretty good nine months.  And, I guess there's a trip to Cardiff (hopefully) to allow that season to drag on for one more week..

I should be finding out today whether that Cardiff trip is on or not, as my mate is taking no chances and has travelled early doors to the ticket office with all of our fan cards looking to guarantee our seats at the final.  Am very excited at the prospect, so am keeping everything crossed
