We’ve been hit with a curse from one of the lads that never gets anything he backs right

 

I think he’s touting for a better offer

 

Peter reid at the game tonight ? full house i hope, lets get the atmosphere like a derby.

 

only 9 hours and 16 mins to go

 

My nerves are all over the place!! Got hardly anything on at work this morning so all I can do is think about the game!!

Also got my 13 year old dog at the vets for an operation! Could really do with my mind occupying!!

 

spent an entire meeting talking about the game and not the subject matter of the meeting,

its crazy

 

Found something on the TV to take my mind off tonight - the cup final against Man City! Didn't realise it was on and missed Borini's goal!

safe travels amigo. Enjoy

having my first beer at Heathrow. Meant to be wrapping up some work but cannot concentrate for the life of me.

 

No doubt some will say 'it's all a bit corporate' but no one can say the club aren't doing their bit ...

... if more people sang, cheered and clapped the club wouldn't have to think about it.

The Fulwell end started from 2pm onwards, starting with the young lads and the voices gradually deepening as the pubs turned out

Ha'way the Lad!!!

 

Sing your hearts out for the lads

 

HA'WAY THE LADS

MACKEMS ATTACKEM


Lad and daughter (twins) have just left heading up to Shields.
Lads going, doubt the daughter is, she's took the grandson.
Safe travels to them and everyone else today.

Thanks to @RTB for another season of great match threads, one more game to cover after this one hopefully mate

Two games away from the premier League.


Coooooooomon.

 

The Coventry fans have convinced themselves that we'll get on the player's backs if we sit deep or go behind ...

... perhaps, on long series of defeats and poor showings, not in one game like this.

I don't think they'll be expecting what they're going to get.

 

MUST STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS GAME AND FOCUS ON WORK

 

Enjoy the game
It's 22c here - I need a beer too

 

I honestly think I’d be calmer if we were a goal down going into this, what’s wrong with me

 

The Cov fan I work with has said they've not scored all season from the guy with the long throw.
