    Isn't it weird that the 3rd and 4th championship teams battle it out for the biggest sporting prize in the world?

    Sorry to labour the point but can we please try and get the kick off so we set the pace and agenda. I am fed up with hiding behind the chair for first ten minutes

    Actually it's not good at all, the match could be abandoned and rescheduled if they don't get there on time.

    You need to be firmly in your Goss screamer chair Ox, not behind it.

    Apologies - you are quite right. However if we lose the toss my head will be in my hands for the first ten!

    Going to be interesting to see how we handle the bigger pitch. Should be good for Redmond and Wes as they''ll have more space to work in, but Tettey and Whittaker are perhaps going to need a big game positionally, as there'll be more space for Boro to exploit if they're out of position.

    Bamford (unsurprisingly) starts for Boro.

    Mildly interesting stat: All of our starting XI have Premier League experience, only 4 of Boro's side do. Hopefully that big game experience will serve us well today.

    I feel like I'm in the queue for a really big scary rollercoaster. I want to do it, but only if I know I'm going to enjoy it

    Actually, I'm past the queue and on the roller coaster as it slowly climbs to the top.

    #beyond the point of return!
