    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>

    The woman I am currently sharing a house with suggested I just watch all the play off matches on TV, made me realise why we are not a couple anymore

    It’s okay.

    he makes comments about us like he watches a lot but shows poor knowledge

    Mayenda a decent spell in Scotland, aleksic not good enough, and that’s just half way through

    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.

    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!

    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.

    For pure selfish reasons I hope our tie is nothing like this Inter Barca game

    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.
