We are a better team than Wycombe and Leyton Orient. Our head to head proves it, and our league finish proves it.
As long as we play our game, we will be at Wembley, and we will put Orient away.
If we can't, we deserve to be in league 1, and may the best team on the day get promoted.
I can't bloody wait.
But one of the reasons football is the most popular team game in the world, is because anything can happen in a one off match.In rugby, cricket, hockey etc, if there is a clearly better team, they tend to win the game 99/100. Not so in football. I am not sure how old you were in 2004, but watching that Greece side deny all the odds game after game to win Euro 2004 was something to behold. Italy and Germany were masters at defeating the more skilful sides. I remember Wimbledon beating Liverpool in the FA Cup as a kid, then Coventry doing the same to Spurs the previous year. My mate made a nice little profit betting on Wigan to beat Manchester City in 2013. I could go on and on. But I reckon you get the point.0 -
I am nervous, probably a 6.5. It was at 9 watching the shoot out last night.
My wife has flu, I host a quiz at the pub this afternoon and we are flying to the UK in the morning, so a delicate balance between the amount I drink and whether I stay in the pub to watch or come home (Mrs. Algarve says she is happy for me to do so, but...).
Oh, and spare a thought for Sue Gallop and Sarah Monahan. Missed their flight back from NYC yesterday due to connection problems, so will be in the air as the action unfolds.5 -
Why? What are you doing on Friday?Slimeworth_McTavish said:I'm very nervous. My bowels are already reacting, just done my 5th shit of the day. Don't even want to think about tomorrow0 -
Anxious as hell. Don’t know what time to leave, how we are getting there, where we are going beforehand. Will we get in, will it be too busy,, Will my son cope ok with a full crowd, will he mentally be able to handle it if tonight disappoints. Will the team impose their game and not get sucked into what Wycombe want.
1000 worries. This is supposed to be fun!9 -
Really laid back and relaxed, unlike Sunday.1

Weirdly ambivalent about it now for some reason. Perhaps all my nervous energy has been used up 🤷

Been up since six and just paid my fourth visit to the khazi.

Don’t particularly enjoy playoff games because there’s just too much at stake. Silly really because the whole concept of the playoffs has brought so much to football.0

Deffo nervous about 8. But also confident that we will score hopefully more than they get. But it will be close game.0

Too much energy going into manifesting a 3 nil win to be nervous COYRs1

A little as I'm out of my comfort zone for the game stuck at the in laws.
They've been warned they'll be in for an experience tonight regardless of the result....2 -
For me the game you are watching tonight is 3am tomorrow for me. So I'm OK now but when the alarm goes off at 2:45am for the 3am kick-off I'm sure I'll be in pieces!
Yes, I'm from the future! lol1 -
I've packed my one and only Charlton scarf. I have only worn it twice before as I bought it for @addickted 's funeral and then I also wore it to @Cardinal Sin funeral so I am feeling calm as when I put it on later I know the two big men will be cheering us on to victory!
How we wish they were here to do it in person.

I'm not nervous. I don't think predetermined results or outcomes really help.
Just gotta see what happens.
Nerves will likely build when the players wall out the tunnel and on to the pitch.
I just hope all they focus on is the game itself and nothing else. They will be carrying the nerves and they have to fully focus.4 -
Just call me Numb Fanny.7

Not nervous at all . Won't be easy as some are expecting though.0

Agree.
The pressure on us certainly outweighs the pressure on wycombe. They're going to be really coming at us and we have to defend well to our peak level.
No one wants penalties and this game will be very end to end.
Hitting them on the break - has to be timed very well2 -
No nerves at all, I’ve always been an unemotional bastard.

Still a 3 or 4. Currently touching cloth but I think that's down to the pressure of my flight. Nerves will rise to an 8 if they take us to extra time.O-Randy-Hunt said:A 3 or a 4. Might change a few hours before kick off. We've got this.1 -
Less nervous today than I was on Sunday. Looking forward to picking the kids up from school later, drop them home then it's a two hour drive. Once I have parked up I am sure the nerves will kick in. More than nervous I am looking forward to the occasion, we don't get to enjoy too many like it. Can't beat a packed Valley under the floodlights.0

No nerves here, the eldest son however, looked like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders when I dropped him off at school0

It's only a game.
I was a complete mess in 2019!0 -
10/10 nerves for me. I HATE the build up to these games, I have thought about nothing more since Sundays final whistle.0

Wearing the same shabby t-shirt I wore to the 2019 final. It worked then...
I am calm.

I'm not having fun still. I got the nerves watching the Orient Stockport pens last night for some reason I can't explain.
Fucking stupid game0 -
I am more nervous than on my first day at school, my driving test and pre penalties in the Doncaster game all combined.
in three words "I'm crapping it"0 -
Very nervous, but my gut keeps telling me we are going to win it.0

In 1987 I was so nervous I locked myself in my grans toilet during most of the game.
In 1998 I was very nervous as I knew our team would be broken up without promotion, so it felt our only shot.
In 2010 I was calm as I didn't see us staying in L1 long whether we were promoted that season or not.
2018 I don't really remember so assume must have been calm. I think I was just used to shit football and the play offs were an extension of that.
In 2019 I knew we would win v Doncaster and Sunderland 100% and never had a nerve (even at 1-0 down in the final).
Right now, I am nervous. I don't have confidence of winning the play offs which in a way makes me calmer but would really like to take both kids to Wembley to watch their team, whatever that result looked like.

I'll be on the edge of my seat beside myself. It's the second semi finals of Eurovision Song Contest. It doesn't get more nerve wracking than that.
