Vindaloo poos this morning (no curry eaten). Hopefully the nerves don’t consume the fans and the place is rocking ala Birmingham at home. What a colossal match, honestly never though I’d see the day. PUSB.

This can only go one way.
It will end up being a penalty shootout at riverside, I mean come on,this is Coventry City!

If I'm right and I think I am, we will win on the last penalty!
So all of you with a nervous disposition (ie most of you) better hide under the blankets).

This will be a close game, I’m predicting a 1-0 City win. Rumour on the Boro forum that Howson will be playing today.

As long as we don’t come out like against Stoke then that ….. 1 defeat in 17 matches hopefully tells a story. 💙⚽️💙 Cmon City !!

Not slept all night my arse is twitching like a bad un and knackered as hell.
1 case of beer down over the night and 2 more in the fridge, (at 3.56€ a crate i'm not complaining) i gonna feel like shit tomorrow but the City are worth it.
Just been to the local shop to get some cigs (been smoking about 5 a day, got through almost 30 last night. What the hell am i gonna be like when (not if) we make the final.
Come on City PUSB
UP THE CITY

As sadly I can’t make it today. Due to family commitments. Boo.

We just need to play our game and attack. Middlesbrough weakness is defence.

We also can’t let akpom win cheap fouls. In the league game he was throwing him self over trying to win anything.

Just enjoy it people. Greatest season on and off pitch for over 20 years. Underdogs, no expectations. These games don’t come along often so make it a big day and be proud of how far we have come . ( a record I’ll be beating by some distance if we win by 2 today)
My Mrs is sadly no longer with us, but if we win today i think i'll be winning by a few today also ;)

Enjoying the forum today, some funny posts.

Not even nervous, no weight of expectation on us, or our team and they will know it. Most people not connected to the club did not have us down as finishing in the playoff places, they've done so well.

Exactly how I feel. Almost identical to the quarter final of cup in 1987. We get through this tie and it all changes though

Sheaf in for Eccles, only change I would make
Hamer has been playing amazingly in front of Kelly Eccles/sheaf so why change that to bring in Allen probably with Kelly missing out. We need to take lead up to boro, so goals a must Hamer and Gyo our best chance of scoring them. Hamer has shown he is the best player we have to link midfield with strikers.
