Pre-Wembley chat ...

I'm in.......if you know what I mean.

 

Just got some red and white bunting for the house

 

I've invited half the village, Montlaur 11220, for the match and told them it's the English Cup Final

We have loads of booze and a big screen by the pool, plus a BBQ set up.

F**k it, I may only ever experience this once in my lifetime.

Haway the Lads!!!!

 

Sounds bliss, I’m buzzing for it, once tomorrow night is out of the way it’s full on cup final mode

 

I've told Mrs Smug, who's birthday is today, that it's the village coming to celebrate ...

... I'm going to really push the boat out and hope I get away with it

I'm hoping to get 100 people here and convert at least 20% to SUNDERLAND ...

It’s a year today since Grandpops died, I reckon we are gonna do it this time!

 

What a miss he is on here mate.

 

having a couple of these for him tonight

 

have your covid rules been relaxed then? i thought you needed some kind of pass to leave home.

 

That's a very good point mate.

Johnson has said he's had players busting a gut to get fit for the Final or trying to impress on the training pitch.

Whatever the case, this is a big deal for the Sunderland players and we have the chance to play a Wembley final that's broadcast to the nation ....

.... if nothing else it's a nice reward for KLD and his family.

 

Win today and Sunday, and atmosphere around the club and fans should be electric,

 

Totally agree, you can almost feel the anticipation in the air. Win these 2 and the sky is the limit, confidence from the players will be huge for the rest of the season, but 1 step at a time. Portsmouth tonight and then .......

 

Getting a little bit nervous for tonight

 

Team for Sunday

.......................... Burge.......................

Power....... Onien...... Flanagan....mcfad

............... Scowen........ Neil.................

Mcgeady ............ Maguire........... Jones

............................ Wyke..........................

 

I’m guessing after tonight’s performance, those nerves have pissed off?

 

Now we brushed Portsmouth aside, with little effort, we can all have 4 days rest before the Wembley Cup Final ...

.... can't wait

 

No nerves at all about Sunday. Sincerely hope we win and put in a decent performance.. And yes, a win at Wemberley would be great. Its a great pity our fans can not be there to enjoy weekend

Maybe Im a bit long in the tooth, but wtf, having the misfortune of working with a load of arrogant skunks over the years. and taking the piss out of them for winning a 'nothing' cup in '69 via back door. I could honestly not bring about myself to brag about winning a pizza on sunday

And before Im accused of treating this competition with disdain!!!!!! I was there for Mercantile Credit in 1988 which had far less Kudos!! ( cannot remember who won this but I know we missed a penna)!! (I think)

More interested about getting 3 points against Accrington and sustaining our winning league run tbh

But promotion and a trophy should not be sniffed at!!

HTL

 

the Johnstone paint trophy remember that ! wow now that was a cup to win. I hope we get into the Europa league for winning the Papa johns trophy mind.

 

There's about 10 exiled Mackems here in Abu Dhabi who will be meeting at one of the guys houses on Sunday, BBQ.....Crates of beer, good supply of Gin and Tonic for your truly and Champaign for when the trophy lis lifted as there is NO WAY will lose again at Wembley. HA"WAY that lads......

 

Do you get mates rates down there?
