I am flying to Portugal tomorrow , booked ages ago. I have managed to get an earlier flight so I have time to get to the digs and then find a sports bar to watch the match.

anyone got any tips of a good sports bars - ideally lads friendly - in Albufeira?

Or a good overseas stream as I might just try and watch bag at the digs once I get the beers in if the bars are full of ****ers
Morning there's a bar in Olhos de Agua called Oasis. The owner is Antonio and is very welcoming! A million tellies and a massive one outside! It's only 3 miles away! Lovely little spot! Hope that's helpful!
 
Working from home is great for days like this mind. Got to pick the bairns up from school at 3:20 otherwise I’d have probably cracked a can open in the garden before then! Suppose 3:30 is early enough :emoticon-0102-bigsm
Got to drive to the match n all so watching it stone cold sober is going to be murder :emoticon-0102-bigsm

Well here we go. Proper nervous. Havent said much post Friday, because I honestly dont know what we will do or what I think we should do.

Coventry suggesting they wont change shape, not 100% convinced on that. Do think they will change personnel, especially in the forward areas. I think theyll be better this game and be more threatening, we have to be ready.

With us, I'd imagine we will stay the same, shape and 11. The 2nd goal allows us to play the same game again, possibly a touch further up the pitch though. Got to get the balance right.

The lads need the fans tonight. Has to be intense and massively supportive. If we go a goal up, keep supporting as if it was 0-0, same if we go a goal down, same if we go two goals down. If RLB sets us up the same, and we're defensive, then we have to keep any frustration inside and back the lads to get it done the way they think's best.

Haway the lads. Lets get to Wembley.
 
Not trying to tempt fate but Sheffield United have been given 35.5k for Wembley. Price list released too
 
Of course anything can happen, Lampard could change things, they could knock a worldie in from 35 yards, etc etc etc but ...

... in all seriousness, Coventry are no better than Bristol City imo.

They lost to Plymouth and Luton in matches just as important as this and only just made the playoffs.

Not saying we'll win but refuse to say we won't.
