Fuck off

Giving the team a breather I hope

Dalot is going to be second guessing himself all game now

Got a good feeling about Maxi tonight

That black and white wall of fans is stunning in Wembley

Sounds like your south of the border from me, 230am kick off here, ive told work not to expect me in the office Monday morning though. We've got a house full of inlaws family, half of them sleeping in the lounge room, I've warned them that they will be watching the game with me if they're here tonight still. Can't believe how fucking nervous I am for this game, still not letting myself get optimistic about the result!

Probably a stupid question, if it's the owners who are responsible for this financial cheating, is there a chance that the league could remove their standing as being fit and proper and so unable to own the club any longer forcing it to be sold off?

Most seemed to be happy with a top 10 finish to the season, we're still on track to achieve more then that. Even if our form has dropped, season is 38 games long and we were always going to have dips, the intensity we started with could never be maintained with the squad depth we have. Were still 17 games undefeated. Adding to our squad in January would've been nice, but getting enough in to continue a top 4 push would've taken massive cash at a time that there's not great value for money. Just need to keep getting patient and enjoy the ride Plus we're in a cup final!

The owners have shown that they home no value for their history, how can they celebrate any trophy now when they know they would sell it given the chance

BDB because of how much it would mean to him

For all the shit Ashley put us through, the way Jonas was treated during his battle with cancer really is the worst of it. The club couldn't even manage the most basic of defences. We've come so far since then thankfully

Would be great having a full strength squad against Liverpool, but I would bet good money that Bruno being out for 3 weeks because of a silly mistake will have him completely fired up for the final and go in with a point to prove

“I’m not thick. I know this club is going to evolve and go only one way. But while I’m here, I just need to keep progressing, get the manager to get the best out of me & me repay that with performances. Hopefully I can be here for a good few years. I want to show the club that I warrant a couple more years." Really like Shelvey, he's played an important part of the team over the last 7 years and I wish him all the best at Forest

Get the fuck in, Time to look at flights

Sitting at my work desk following this thread is not great for the nerves or productivity

Australia's biggest issue is that there's too many influential people that are invested in football not succeeding here in a professional capacity. While we had a brilliant world cup run, I'll be the first to admit I was completely won't with my expectations on how I thought we would perform. It still does nowhere near enough to help drive the standing of the game up here. The hope that after the 2006 qualification by our golden generation that the generation should be arising now would be better. But the league is short cash, making decisions not in there next interest of the fans, there's a disjoint between our semi professional leagues and top flight and the investment into youth is inconsistent at best. Until these are fixed our attendances will continue to languish and we won't get the quantity or quality of players that we need. Whether I like it or not, heading to hearts is an improvement for him and will give him a much improved chance of success then if he had stayed on loan at central coast.

Gallagher would be a great signing, another young player with bags of potential that can grow with the club

Don't underestimate the A League, I reckon we may have dropped further since then

The bottom of the table is filled with so much shit that it may be enough to save them, if I was another team down there I'd be concerned about this appointment, if I was an everton fan I'd still not feel comfortable about staying up. Will be interesting to watch how the relegation unfol

I like Dyche so I hope he doesn't go there. If they could convince Ange to leave Celtic and gave him the time they need to rebuild in the championship next year, I think he would get them straight back up playing good football. I don't think he would gamble his reputation though on a club going down when he should have a pretty wide array of choices next season

Hope he does the Murphy wave as he walks out of their club for the last time

Can't say I was excited by the prospect of Gordon, especially when Maddison seemed like the first choice. But I trust our recruitment process, and if he's who they want, there must be a reason for it. He's a promising young player, getting no game time in a team that's in a relegation battle, while good club is currently a complete cluster fuck and over valuing him, can't say i'd blame him for feeling disillusioned there right now.

Should never have underestimated Spurs ability to completely bottle it

Well this was wrong

Can't see city pulling this back they look mentally not in the game at all
