I've been ummmming and rrrrring all week about going today (for various reasons), anyway decided late yesterday and made the decision to go cos I just couldn't imagine not being there (even though I hate OT and I don't even like football lol). Anyways.... phoned to book tickets this morning. 2 hours later no confirmation email, phoned again to find out why, after half an hour an the phone and a nervous wait for a call back I find out they'd only allocated the tickets to some other person!!!!!! Thankfully (hopefully) it's all sorted now and I'll be picking them up at OT. I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo glad I've decided to go, can't believe how anxious I feel lol. Come on the Wire

A blue and yellow leaf...

Clothes !

Indeed. As we're at a football ground I thought it would be more than suitable for me to bang on the Adi Gazelle indoor.



Hope some of our fans have a bit of time to pop into Manchester's city centre to invest in some decent clobber.

In Albert square, beer festival. Veltins in a Stein for seven quid. Not many wire here tbh

Of course Saddened wants Leeds to lose, I'd be bitter too if my team had choked in the 1 game that matters 5 years running!

BUMP

I thought a 4 page thread by 8am was impressive!



A little bit giddy already. Time to start counting hours: less than 10 to kick-off

Didn't get any sleep last night at all. Not had butterflies like this since the first Wembley trip.

I would like Wire to win today as it will mean I have seen them win every comp possible in my life time.

Funny, but last year was more a feeling of intrepidation ahead of what was always going to be a nervous game against a dangerously experienced opposition ...... this week, and especially this morning, I've been bouncing around and can't wait to get there and cheer the Wire on to a win .... no nerves or worries, just excited smiles ........

Same car, same colours, same idiot, just slightly later this year.
