Downside is I occasionally miss the tunnel jump, but better that than an angry wife.

The Den 1989. 2-0 up with minutes left. He walked out to get the train for his long Tuesday night journey home with a proper spring in his step. No mobile, no social media. It was the next day's morning paper when he found out what had happened.

Ive seen people leave their seats on 40 mins to avoid cues in the toilet or refreshment areas thus also missing goals or significant action.

What I don't understand is the steady stream of regular faces who leave on 85 minutes regardless of how the game is poised.
