A bit of all three but primarily “A”. Just praying we don’t cock this up. Never ever have a better chance with the team we have and the state of Sunderland. I just have this fear that karma is a funny thing. Hope we don’t sit back and defend tonight
Maybe it’s my maturing years, heading towards 50, but you need to savour times like these, I may not see them again, summed up by Airman’s great article. I’m confident we can get the result we need tonight so ride the Bowyer wave.
in contrast my two daughters are in the nervous as hell camp. They’ve not seen the Valley at full tilt and were slightly to young to see/appreciate the league 1 Champion’s run under Powell.
we can’t effect whether Parker will get his shot on target, or if Naby makes that last second interception.
what we can do is get behind the team, loudly, make it uncomfortable for Doncaster and suck the ball into the net in front of the Covered End and look forward to the next stage.
There’s good news and bad news .. Bad news is that my prostate surgery planned for today is cancelled because the consultant wants to explore other options (WTF does that mean!). The good news is I can now take my seat in the West Upper for the match. The missus says she wants to come with me and that makes me nervous as hell. Seriously, more nervous about this match than I was about last Sunday.
I’m feeling positive. Which is now making me feel nervous I just think tonight we will be too much for them. The Valley will be rocking, and though there may be one or two nerves initially because it is an ‘occasion’, I think the team and the vocal support will just be too good, and too strong. So i’m relaxed and looking forward to it. At the moment....
There have been far too many overconfident posts planning viewings for the final, Wembley plans etc, for my liking. It’s one game and there is every chance Doncaster could be planning this time tomorrow morning.
though i voted nervous as hell, i'm more rather negative about the whole thing. I have that horrible feeling that letting that late goal happen last time out will come back to haunt us.

Was looking at getting over Charlton for 4pm, can see that being earlier.
I’m never usually this positive but I’ve said it for ages we’re going to Wembley
