I'm strangely calm and confident.  Perhaps this will change once the game gets closer, but at the moment there is a zen-like vibe in the Rigadon household.

Same. I think it's the two-legged thing, as unless we end up on the end of a hammering that I don't think will happen, then we go back to VP knowing what we need to do.

Unless we have a Bologna-style first leg lead though, I imagine the panic will set in next week.

I've been nervous all week but not this morning although that is influenced by a catastrophic hangover.

Nick Mashiters take on it for BBC Sport

Do you think this guy has some money on Forest?

Another 'local' reporter who doesn't like Villa. Did he mention Martinez leaving?

Ex Express and Star. Probably a bitter, relegation haunted Dingle.

Yeah that would explain it, the tone put me in mind of the 'Sally from Coronation Street' haired Bill Howell.

Time we turned up in one of these games. If we do we’ll win.

Yep, third semi-final in three seasons and didn't show up at all in the previous two.  Not showing up when it really matters is probably a justified criticism that can be levelled at this group of players over the past couple of seasons, but hopefully they can deliver over the next four games.

I have it on good authority that some are already on light refreshments in the Troca.
