I think there may be a few left but doubt Dave has taken them down with him.

I'm not excited just plain old nervous. Anxiety levels are building. I think most of it is not wanting the optimism and potential to go and have the game played. Once its done its back to normal...unless we win the thing of course but I don't the build up to finish. I'll be proper shitting it tomorrow. Watching it with a Villa fan and a Colchester fan in Croydon has grown to quite a few Palace people too. I'm not a good watcher. Especially with other people around. I'm shitting it already.

Ha! My video made the cut! Is this video going to be played on the big screen before the match?

That team photo between 41 and 45 seconds is the one I have on my living room wall but can't for the life of me remember when or how I got it.

Every morning this week have took a detour from our usual cafe for a morning tea and gone on to Wembley Park to get our cuppa.
I pull up at the bottom of Wembley way and just stare up at the stadium my mate don't say a word he just noes I gotta do it.

Have a safe journey down everyone have an amazing day and safe journey back home this has been one hell of a journey but tomorrow it will end.

Let's roar the lads on like only we can from the 1st to the 90th minute

If he sees this and realises I'm after one, what are the chances of him turning back to get them. Do you reckon?

I remember buying an FA cup final programme on cup final day 1984 from the Lucky Star Candy Bar at the Robin Hood island, Hall Green. The fact I was able to do this amazed me at the time and still slightly bemuses me now. It was definitely the proper programme, not some cup final magazine special.

Starting to get excited now. I think it's going to be our day. I won't be there but have a great day down there everyone. Take it all in as it will be over all to soon. I've no doubt our fans will be loudest. Let's do this.
