FA Cup Final - Pre-Match Thread

[silhillvilla]

Been in back to back meetings most of day but when I came out the last one at 6pm it finally hit me we less than 72 hours away and a giant wave of nerves washed over me.

Blimey. I know a paper doesn't really give a true reflection of local opinions but really!!! Makes you laugh really.

I can't believe that they've recommended the Tudor Rose. If you ever fancy having your face taken off with a glass, that's your place.

The place where I'd watch it in Cov is, happily, not mentioned.

when I lived in Coventry many years ago there was a notorious pub called the Live and let Live in Wood End, you had to go in with someone local or you were fucked, think they have demolished it now

and another in Willenhall I think it was called the Lord Nelson, someone got shot in there one night, nice place

Made me smile at the fact that those pubs will have more Villa fans watching the game than Cov fans. There not even big in Coventry anymore.

See Franksie radio wm and bham mail and now cov local rag, are bitter, Fuck me were bigger than I thought.

some of them pubs looked like they attract real class clientele,

Where is cobentry Again???

they won the fa cup back in 87 I believe

They've been stinking out League One all season in a stadium owned by a rugby team from London.

My tickets for the Semi and The final have been in blocks 544 and 545 and have entrance K and L on them, so definitely should be, I'd assume that's around block 543?

Like Silhill, the enormity has hit me today. The concentration has gone and pre match tension has taken over.

I had a dream last night that it went too penalties, I woke up after Arsenal missed their first two actually sweating and shaking....

[Matt Collins]

I had a dream grealish was out injured

I think I'd genuinely cry

[john e]

I had a dream, but it didn't involve football as it happens

Is that a Martin Luther King quote?

I can't stop seeing Carles Gil dancing through the Arsenal defence to score the winner. Maybe Sherwood has played the biggest bluff of the season in pretending he doesn't rate our super talented Spaniard.

I had a recurring dream last night, I was in a town I only know in my dreams and was frantically trying to get to a record shop before it closed but my legs were like lead. It's an ace town, there are four really good record shops and I visit it quite often in my dreams but always seem to be in a hurry.

I never dream about football.

TS has fooled you TSoV...it's Jack Grealish with his new Gil-ish haircut!
