    ......... to Old Trafford.

    Even if we lose the 1st leg what does it matter, let's sell out the 'Sunderland end' and raise the roof.

    I've been following Sunderland around the country for 40 years and can count the semi-finals on one hand.

    When we won the FA Cup, when I was a teenager, I thought it would be the first of many .......... <doh>

    If you're closer to death than birth, like me, or some kid thinking they'll wait for the next one just give yer head a shake and get to the match.

    If we want our team to have confidence in themselves we have to show our confidence in them ......... Haway Lads, let's get to Wembley!

    Money is there for the home leg. My birthday should cover an away ticket but I'm daunted by travel arrangements as I don't drive or have a supporter club in the area. Aycliffe is the nearest. Going to see if there's a chance of getting on a coach.

    There is mate, just ask and someone will have a place.

    I'm serious, don't **** about ........ even if we lose you'll get sick of hearing people talk about the day out, over the next decade, to the point where you'll think, "Smug was right," <doh>

    <ok>

    I've already asked my 'contact' for 2 tickets and will be at Old Trafford for Sunderland's semi-final come what may.

    They don't come around often enough to piss about do they?

    Good man ......... Cest, this is a semi-final mate and summat you can tell yer grandkids about.

    Bollocks to saving money for food, mortgage or ****e like that, we need to sell the ****er out and show the team we're behind them.

    None of the Mags on these boards have ever seen their team celebrate at Wembley ............ just think about that for a moment.

    We went to the Millwall game and bought tickets, in their section outside the ground, at half face value ........ the stewards moved us into the Sunderland section when it kicked off <laugh>

    I was really pleased, the ****ers have a soap allergy <doh>

    There's no way in heaven or earth I could do a 7.45pm kick off on a Tuesday night with my circumstances but I do envy you lads that can..

    I'm torn. Would prefer away leg but those prices are ridiculous. Also unsure if I'd get to OT in time as I can't leave work til 4. My ST holder mate might not be able to get me a ticket so I'm relying on them going on general sale. Is that likely? Might have to just do home leg.

    If not you'll be sitting there, in 20 years, thinking, 'That bastard Smug was right, I shudda gone!"
