Presumably the tube station will be even more rammed than usual after the final whistle as both sets of fans will be leaving at the same time, unlike the final when one lot stays to see the cup being lifted? Unless, of course, we're 6-nil up and the Chelsea fans have already gone home. (Will I be able to delete this comment on Monday?)
