Alarm goes off early.

Okay, deep breath. Itโ€™s match day. Itโ€™s almost time.

Pull on your lucky socks, drink out of your lucky mug, find your lucky scarf.

Get the usual train or drive your usual route, park in the usual spot, see the usual faces walking to the ground.

Deep breath. Itโ€™s almost time.
