I’ve had two nervous shits already today and feel like there’s a third in the post before kick off

A mate of mine who is there, who was trying to persuade me to come, just managed to score two tickets for £200. Not at all jealous

Having said that, if we win, the celebrations are carrying on until Monday

Nah man. Keeping my powder dry for tomorrow. 48 hour benders are for the young uns

Oi oi! 🍻

What have they got against coveentry exactly?

Of all the things to have a pop at me for, predictions is not one of them. The cheek!

Damn, I didn’t even get the chance to ask which cunt he was

what did I miss?

We’ve been saving a performance for tomorrow. I can feel it. No disgrace if we lose as long as turn up and make a game of it. But I think we’re going to want it more and will win. I expect similar levels to the two arsenal games

i'm going on a bender if we win. monday unlikely to be my most productive day at work ever

i think they targeted this tournament as the best chance of finally ending the curse. the two arsenal semi final legs were among the best performances of the season and our form and intensity has dropped away since then - coincidence? i think they've been playing within themselves since and are saving up intensity for the final where we unleash the beast against liverpool. no shame to lose against these but i expect us to work harder than them. no no-show this time. don't fear the occasion or the opposition. leave it all on the pitch. get into them, fuck them up. i predict a nervy 1-0 win to us. an early goal in the first half then an excruciating 70-80 minutes where we defend the lead.

JD Vance tbh

if hope doesn’t get you Craig Hope will

the closer we get, the more i'm beginning to believe. if you'd asked me last week when the injuries were rolling in, i would have been happy for us just to make a game of it

burn's been one of our best players this season so it's on merit. i'm not sure why henderson is in the squad and gibbs white isn't

i mean in the sense that he's coming to the end of his career and will probably only win a cap or two at most.

shades of sven picking chris powell in his first squad

Also the stands are nowhere near close enough to the pitch. The one thing I was struck by in the upper tier of the away end at West Ham’s new ground was how fucking far you are from the action. It makes for a shit atmosphere. Build it steep, build it high!

I hope that isn’t what the end behind the goal is like on both sides. I’d love to see a big fuck off new gallowgate end

a remodelled SJP would never generate the same commercial revenue as a new build.

We have 80k members alone, plus, what 40k or so season ticket holders? 65k is definitely on the more conservative end of the scale, don’t you think?
