I'm immensely nervous especially since I'm not at work this week so have nothing to distract me.

We beat anyone on their day and Isidor has generally shown up on the big games (Leeds, Boro, Sheff utd for example) so anyone writing us off is going a bit far.

We also have such a bad record against Coventry that it is almost screaming to be broken. Stranger things have happened

The Coventry fans are compiling lists of reasons they'll beat Sunderland and get to Wembley <laugh>

I love it all because they're totally convinced and making plans for the final ...

... to me this makes it all the more interesting, win and the smile will be so wide I'll need plastic surgery <laugh>
 
I'm normally full of optimism when it comes to predicting a Sunderland win, but I can't see anything other than a home win, with us failing to score again.

2-0 to Coventry.
That’s my prediction too. Let’s hope we’re wrong, massively…

As a random aside...

Is it not time to have the same ref in both legs? Just to keep it a level playing field across the 2 legs.

At least if it's a **** ref, they're **** in both legs. We'll end up with a proper homer on Friday then some other useless twat on the Tuesday.

Strangely I don't think I'll be that disappointed if we don't.

Black cats waiting at the gate.

Looks like your cat is checking his watch and wondering why Coventry showed up 15 minutes late <laugh>
 
OK, I've sat back, said little and watched comments on Sunderland and Coventry forums.

But there's something quite arrogant and typically 'forum expert' going on.

According to all the wannabe managers RLB only ever had a Plan A which was found out and Sunderland are finished.

There's some real humble pie about to be served up in my opinion ...

... bigger and better teams than Coventry thought they'd batter us and went away with their tail between their legs.

For some weird reason, no one knows, Coventry's badge has a bloody elephant on it ...

... I hope they never forget this semi-final <laugh>

Well. I’m giving up my ticket, Have pawned all of my expensive guitars to bet on Coventry winnning both legs by more than1goal. Pawn shop keeping them until after the second leg

My reasoning? So many fans (including my brother and my dad) have said categorically that we will lose. So at least I guaranteed to make some money!
 
Didn’t realise how strong they’d been at home recently

7 wins from their last 8 with 5 clean sheets

Only Burnley won there in that time but they’re a class above

Have you received your tickets, it's Wednesday tomorrow and I need to get people sorted ...

... it's all a bit tight isn't it?

I think Coventry have pulled a fast one here, should be investigated.

I’m down in Matlock until Thursday night so it’ll be a call home to see if and when they’ve arrived. It’ll be tomorrow though imo

Coventry are playing games in my opinion ...

... I guarantee they have 'turnstile issues' and Sunderland supporters are late coming in.
