Feeling more confident as the day has gone on.

A lot of the bars (and restaurants with tv's) here in North Mallorca have reserved signs out on them already.

That's because they saw you coming.

That's funny, the feedback came from my wife who had a morning stroll whilst I was in the gym.

Maybe it's your wife who put the signs up.

Feel sick

Feel sick

I’m not usually superstitious but have everything crossed. Not feeling confident about tonight but then i usually predict city to lose in the big games (and I was wrong quite a lot last season). Come on England.

Err..... Earlsdon not still here hanging about is he?

All over this like a rash(ford) no doubt.

The Beeb asked fans to select their 11 for tonight and this was the result of the vote.

Personally, I would keep Sterling in. I do really rate Rashford though and he is clearly a match winner.

Tiny knots in the pit of my stomach
Feeling confident though
No Fear
Show them a bit of Nigel Benn Gareth.

Is it just me who isn't that worried yet?

Nowhere near what it was like for the playoff games.

Play off at notts I was confident once I walked in ground and saw/heard the most amazing support. Up to then I was a bag of bits.
At the final I was very calm all day until the teams walked out. Then began to to feel ill until Willis scored.

Most nervous I have been so far, but on a scale of nervousness, I would say I am at about 22.5% at the moment.

Would expect that to rise to around 55-60% come kick off.

Start off poorly and it will be around 97.357%.

Yup. I was supremely confident for Notts Couty away. Was convinced we would win.

The final, the same. Only time I got nervous was when we went 2-0 up.

Any Sunderland fans vote!

Same team I think?

 

[Liquid Gold]

Looks like all their 'injured' players are in the game.

That's why he should have taken Josh Barrett, let him just smash through a few of them on 80 minutes if we aren't in the game and take the red card. We won't miss him if he's suspended for the final

It doesn't matter if he is Irish or not, that thought every game we played made us get promoted!

Are all the ones with acute accents above their names carrying an injury?

Turned 50 yesterday. Still get butterflies.
My new most "favourite" daughter is a lawyer still works with my old production company. Got me tickets for the final for my birthday if we get through!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Liquid Gold]

ITV coverage is absolute gash. How about checking if someone can speak English before talking to them.

 

[Johnnythespider]

I'm generally ok until we go a goal ahead, then I go to pieces worrying about losing it. Who am I kidding, I'm shitting bricks.

Had a dodgy stomach for a few days but still not sure if it’s that or the nerves that are making me shit myself

Man up guys seriously

I wish people would stop giving that wannabe Southgate lookalike airtime. Looks fuck all like him

Here are the semi-final commandments

1. Thou shalt not give away a silly penalty
2. Thou shalt not get anyone sent off
3. Thou shalt not play dodgy backpasses
4. Thy keeper shalt not have a wobbler
5. Thou shalt take thine chances.

Obey those laws and we should be fine.

C'mon England!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SIR ERNIE]

COME ON ENGLAND

 

[Gazolba]

It's a chess game, white versus black.

 

[Paul Anthony]

What a free kick by Trippier!

 

[Nick]

That's a peach of a free kick

 

[lifeskyblue]

Oh my goodness. What a free kick what a start.
