Championship Play-off Final : Pre-Match Thread

[olaftab]

Boarded train at Warwick. Standing room only and they are already half sozzled with copious supplies with them. Farts and BO. This is not going to be a pleasant journey😥

I’m really not nervous at all. I was bricking it before the 2nd leg at West Brom. But I’ve been calm all weekend. I think we’ll win without too much fuss. Hopefully inside the 90 mins as I have work tomorrow morning and it kicks
Off at midnight here.

More nervous this year than I was last which I put down to the fact that this time last year I didn't realise how far in the shit the club was.

Wait until the train back either way it'll be much worse

Exiled in West London with a surprisingly high number of ‘Hampton Villans’ and so not quite a journey for us (though Wembley generally awkward place to get to). Planning to head to Swiss Cottage as last year but with a different result this time!! Hoping to meet up with a few from the Barton’s so let us know if you heading there. Safe travels all and let’s hope for a fabulous day!! Nerves kicking in but not sure anything can be worse than the Albion second leg! UTV 😩

Couldnt get a ticket and trying to stay calm but failing. Things to do but cant really concentrate. As someone posted earlier look at where we were in july to now, it'd make a great film but only if we win.

Heart says YES, head says FUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKK

How's the weather looking?

After being lucky enough to be given a ticket at the last minute via a work colleague I am traveling down on a half full National exoresss coach which I booked weeks ago for £7 return

I’m a bag of nerves

[Legion]

Will it be fuck/shit/bollocks or goal/yes/scorchio?

[Bad English]

I have just taught the potted history of Aston Villa to two Year 9 classes. I then taught them "And it's Aston Villa, Aston Villa FC... The world has ever seen."* I filmed them with my phone, they gave it a good go but it was a bit of a racket and they were a bit out of time with each other. I will get the Y10 kids to have a go at 11am as they should be able to give a decent rendition.

* We've been using superlatives and the present perfect in class so this was a good song to reinvest what they have learnt. ;-)

I’m going with nervous, chess, scorhcio, ecstasy, back to normal

[brian green]

Trying to calm very bad nerves by focusing on how many big days being chopping blocks in the Prem gave us in recent years.   None.  I can and will take whatever goes with Wembley games.  FUCKTHEALBION.

On the train down from Newcastle and at Newark all the Derby fans got on - not feeling it yet!

[villabear]

I genuinely have not felt this nervous in a long time.

I’m fed up with coming down here and us not turning up. I’ll take a bit of that Liverpool semi final full time feeling if it’s going!

[Loxton01]

Absolute chaos and scenes trying to get on the trains. Tamworth couldn’t get on we’ve abandoned and are driving
