I can think of three possibilities:

I was on the Piccadilly coming south from Holborn and these fellows got on at Covent Garden. I sort of thought they might be heading for the Portsmouth game out at Wembley, in which case they'd have gotten off at Piccadilly Circus to catch the Bakerloo northbound -- but I don't know, as I hopped off first at Leicester Square to buy Spamalot tickets.

Portsmouth of course wears blue. This was all just a bit past noon; I'm not sure what time the Portsmouth game started yesterday.
