I am reminded of the scene Henry V the night before Agincourt.
All the doubts, the men in the English camp restless and nervous.
I hope they get a good nights sleep.

I think I read somewhere in the week that BT only do month passes which are quite expensive if you’re only watching a one off game.
My thoughts are that, as it’s the last matches in a very strange season, they should have been FTA but, that’s what greed does to these broadcasters. Never do anything much for the fans of football.

It’s called capitalism.

Yeah bt only do monthly passes for £25. Although you can get it as an add on with EE for less and I think for 15 ish you can get an option that allows you to watch on a proper telly on the app.

Annoyingly I bought a month for these recent games and it ran out yesterday.

I suppose £25 for a month when it's a tenner a day for Sky Sports on NowTv it isn't bad. Unless you only want it for one game.

The night before the big game... and I’m feeling more anxious about this than ever.

2/3rds of the way through a nice bottle of Sachsen White Wine. I don’t know if it’s helped or not... tomorrow, I’m going to be in shreds - especially if I feel this nervous already!!

Yeah that rings bell!

I’ve just done the ee thing. Says the charge will be pro rated if you’re in the middle of your billing month, and I‘M 5 days off the end of mine...

Although I’m now waiting for a link that takes up to 24 hours....

It will either be a bargain or money down the bog.

It really is impossible to predict how it’s all going to pan out. It’s in the lap of the Gods.

I’m trying to put on a calm front but inside I feel sick.

I honestly thought that I would never be as nervous as the play off final last year. I was wrong

That all too often used phrase about hope is right. 2 weeks back when we were 7 adrift I’d accepted we were down, made peace with it and convinced myself that in the Championship next season we’d be fine, in a way better position than last time we went down.

Now we’ve got a couple of results and suddenly all that tension and apprehension is back. I was over this once. Now I might have to do it again.

The worst I’ve ever felt watching villa was the Fulham play off, last year I was ok until derby scored then I felt bloody awful and was anticipating a villa style capitulation. This is the worst I’ve ever felt pre-match. This football mullarkey really is a drug isn’t it? I also feel guilty that this bloody match is so all consuming, there are people I know dealing with awful real life problems at the moment and I’m losing sleep over bloody football.

I honestly thought that I would never be as nervous as the play off final last year. I was wrong
