Probably awaken at about 5.09 with a spirit-drying hangover and an oddly stiff leg (not middle). A fiddle to retire myself and back below the surface for a nap. 8 wake proper for a small run (not runs). Two eggs, two toasted breads for 9. Read the Independent for the tv guide and their fixture list to see us playing. 10.15 set off for my cycle to Victoria station. Train for 11.06. In Brighton for 11.57 or something. Decide there and then whether to walk to Falmer or get the train. Arrive with plenty of time to spare. Have a pint on the concourse. Try my best to not look too excited and as if all this were par for the course for a man like me. Rest in my new seat and wait nervously for the goons likely to surround me. As the whistle blows for the game simply forget and when a decent song goes up roar along with it to hear how deep the echo would be.
