Ah bugger!

That will be a tense flight wondering how the game is playing out. Hopefully good news when you land.

Well as we can plainly see, @coco is ready.

 

How about you @just ?

How about you @Gol15 ?

And you @nonotnowjim ?

How about my friend @Munkworth , you all set?

And @Valerie , made the correct arrangements?

 

@RMH you all set?

I am all set

So I guess that just leaves @Eight Times  . How about you mate...

Oh, don’t you worry, I’ll bring my lucky bocadillo de queso (Spanish cheese baguette) with me, nothing can go wrong…

I thought it's "just" the south from Sevilla to Almeria but from your picture it looks like that culture of eating a sandwich at half time is present all around Spain?

@axman2526 I have a confession to make....I won't be watching the Cup final, and therefore will not be able to log on to make excuses for Timo when he inevitably sh*ts his pants.

In an outrageous display of bad planning, I will be flying from Nigeria to Prague, and I am due to board my connecting flight at heathrow 10 mins before kick off, and will land shortly after the full time whistle!

Will be the first ever cup final I have ever missed.  Gutted. 

Full faith in Timo though, and when he does something wrong it will 100% be someone else's fault! 😂

No @Valerie, no Jim, Gol15 is ridiculous over confident.

We really are royally screwed aren't we...

so are we playing in yellow then?

The yellow socks have some black lines on them which would increase our chances of winning even more.

Gonna be another bloomin awful weekend losing another FA Cup final, worse than the last two as my disdaine for them is a lot great.

I'm so excited for this one that I woke up today thinking it was already Saturday. 

We'll find a way to win this one! It's overdue!

My only fear is a shoddy ref decision like the last two finals vs Arsenal 

Tuchel: “I’m not a Liverpool fan. I can understand why Pep has that feeling. In general I would say it is hard to really argue with it. I did not say I agree 100% but I can see. There is a huge sympathy for Liverpool in the country.” 

Thomas Tuchel on Jurgen Klopp:

"When he trained Dortmund, the whole country loved Dortmund. Now he trains Liverpool and you have the feeling the whole country loves Liverpool."

"You know [Jurgen] Klopp is the master of being the underdog. He can talk you into being the underdog against Villarreal and against Benfica – and it’s a miracle, a miracle how they even draw against them."

"He can talk you into it and he does it all the time. He does it a lot of times. That’s part of it. That’s also like from where the sympathy comes."

Tuchel understands Guardiola’s “everyone loves Liverpool” comment. “You have the feeling the whole country loves #lfc so if #cfc are the bad guys (in #FACupFinal) then no problem. We take that role, we don’t want to have the sympathy of the country, we want to have the trophy.”

It is indeed! And I’m importing it here to the Bridge and away 

Come on, run 'em off the park! Work flippin 'ard.

Timo is gonna be sitting next to me in the stands Jim.

Given how much you love Timo we will know who the stewards and ejecting for fighting then.

Lucky penalty and two lucky goals due to Chalobahs mistake and Alonso’s siesta.

Who made me? If we lose the FA cup final you have my word you won’t see me anymore here, that’s how confident I am.

Rather than something so extreme that would rob the forum of a good, entertaining member how about this.

When Liverpool inevitably win and you are proven:

 

You then do us all a favour and admit what we already suspect. That you are either Jorginho himself, his wife, his lover or his agent 😉

I am not optimistic, how could you be, but in 1 match between two teams anything can happen. Liverpool have beaten us 11:10 on penalties this season over 3 games so we are competitive at our best. That said:

Our midfield is on crutches

Lukakus manager is trying to negotiate an exit

Rudigier Dave and Christenson are already on holidays and Silva is past it.

So really its hopeless, but sometimes against all the odds the unthinkable happens.

Sounds obvious but I just hope we win, don’t care how. To lose three in a row or five of last six is just too cruel. Especially with the scum of the earth at the other end. Odds are against us but just hoping something goes our way in a fa cup final for a change.

The team kinda pick itself except front 3 and rcb

Werner/puli - kai/rom - mount

Alonso - Jorgi - kante/kova/ruben - james

Rudi - silva -?? 

 

Who will partner Jorgi really depend on kova n Kante fitness.

He can probably still make an impact from the stands - perhaps by distracting TTA, leading to a mistake that allows us in to score the winner.

We will be sitting on the halfway line so he can't be off-side.
