Train rammed on the way to Euston. Ironically got delayed at Northampton...

Once more into the breach dear friends once more

Or close the wall up with our English dead

in peace there’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility
But when the blast of war blows in our ears
Then imitate the tiger, stiffen the sinews summon up the blood
Disguise fair nature with hard favoured rage: Then lend the eye the terrible aspect

Let pry through the portage of the head , like the brass cannon let the brow overwhelm it.
As fearfully as doth a galled rock, overhang and jutty his confounded base. Swilled with the wild and wasteful ocean

Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide , hold hard the breath and bend every spirit to his full height. On, on you noblest English ( and Scots Irish Dutch and swede) Whose blood is fet from the fathers of warproof

Fathers that , like so many Alexander’s have in these parts morn till even fought
And sheath their swords for lack of argument

Dishonour not your mothers , now attest that those whom you called fathers did beget you .

Be copy now of men to grosser blood and teach them how to war . And you good yeoman whose limbs were made in England ( Scotland Ireland Holland and Sweden ) show us here .
That you are worth the breeding which I doubt not . For there is none of you se mean and base , that hath not noble lustre in your eyes .
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips straining at the start . The games afoot follow your spirit and upon this charge cry

God for Jimmy , John , George Adi and Mark

Luton need to not be selfish and let us win. They will be decent next season regardless. Whereas we will struggle to replace Vik and Gus.

 

[Grendel]

If the worst happens today and we don’t win, while there will be mass disappointment amongst fans and the teams, and there won’t be a post game party atmosphere like the last few games, I really hope we give the players the reception and recognition they deserve.

Yes we’ll all be gutted, but we’ve overcome so many obstacles this season and done so as a united group. Whatever happens today I hope that’s still really evident after the final whistle.

Obviously no one is going to boo are they but it shall be like a wedding and the guests are there and not the bride. Let’s not kid ourselves this is the biggest game for over 30 years in terms of shaping the clubs future

Feels like Christmas morning. The anticipation - Will it be a Raleigh Chopper or train set of a result?
Or a fucking pogo stick or pair of roller roller skates of one?
Regardless, sending out an abundance of love and warm wishes to my fellow Sky Blues.
It's gonna be a great day.

Going to be a lovely day for football at Wembley.

 

[stevefloyd]

Come on you bunch of heroes bring it home for us and let us not scoff at Scumderland

 

[shmmeee]

Stuck on the M1 traffic blaring our city playlist. Exchanged a couple of Sky Blue Army!s with random cars in the queue.

 

[procdoc]

On the coach, really need a beer now!

[Mr Panda]

How’s the green man looking? Are they still letting people in?

 

[Seymour_East]

Good luck to all you guys and ladies today, whatever happens this journey IS incredible and I for one am proud to be part of you all.

@Boosh, today a day of positivity and belief, even for us who can not make it today to the four towers. I wish you a great day ahead.

PUSB!

 

[croatskyblue]

they’re knocking it out of the park with these videos, I’m an emotional wreck

i was going to say “whatever happens I’m proud of them” but actually no.

We’ve got here, it’s time to bring it home now and complete one of the best footballing stories ever

PUSB

Still letting people in, isn’t as busy as I thought and the atmosphere ain’t really kicked in yet, hopefully you get in

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Most nervous I've ever felt for a game.

As the manager himself said

‘We’ve got to go there and win’

exactly

when match time comes it’s time to stop the sentimentality, nostalgia, forget the ‘occasion’ and make the biggest bloody din we ever have and support them to win one more football match

 

[croatskyblue]

Time is standing still, it feels like hours since I last looked at the clock and it was about 5 bloody minutes ago

 

[Astute]

Let them underestimate City at their peril. We were clear underdogs in the 2nd leg at Middlesbrough and played arguably our best performance of the season under massive pressure. We’ve got this!

I was full of confidence against Middlesbrough. Our style of play stopped their game plan.

Luton? Cautiously confident but they are totally different opponents. If we don't give away silly free kicks and stay tight at the back we should be OK. Our main advantages are Gyokeres and Hamer. Just one bit of brilliance from either could be enough. But just one silly mistake could cost us dearly.

The reason for my slight confidence is how we stopped free scoring Middlesbrough from scoring. But this time it is all about stopping set plays for Luton. That's where they are the most dangerous.

Assuming that SISU really are 100% gone (and yes i know what we've been told), should we get promoted, the sale of the club on the brink of success after all those awful years, would really rank as one of SISU's most incompetent decisions...even amongst the many other SISU clusterfucks.

 

[shmmeee]

Anyone else think if we go up Ashley might appear?

Doug would be better off doing it the other way round and overpaying for the stadium. Feel like Ashley will have missed the boat in terms getting us for a good price.

Nothing will be slower than that 8 mins of Middlesborough injury time. Just enjoy the day…until kick off at least

But strangely comfortable and impregnable.

you can say that now

Always like to watch this before a big sporting occasion

Accident on the M1. We’re stuck in traffic at the moment, fingers crossed we get through and whoever was involved in the accident is ok.

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Going fine on M40

Should be fine, think we just came through that. At services now just before the end of M1

 

[jordan210]

Send help, my tube train is now just full of Luton, like 10 cov max

 

[skyblu3sk]

Just talking to my England coach neighbour he doesn't think we should be nervous... not sure if he was just being kind .
