How Nervous Are We All?

[Royal_jimmy]

Even vaguely would be an understatement

[tidus_mi2]

I've been nervous all week, my heart starts racing just thinking about the final tomorrow.

[alfie9]

Nervous?. Who would be nervous? I'm not nervous.

[AthleticoSpizz]

I genuinely have never been any less bothered by a play-off.

My only expectancy is a decent performance.

Same as, and been to them all.

I am incredibly relaxed about it. Even the fact that I stand to lose £100 if we lose the play off final doesn't seem to be bothering me either.

I'm just looking forward to a great day at Wembley.

The only way this club will grow is to spend a significant amount of time in the Prem. This is our chance to do that and they don't come around very often. Also, the money gained will secure us as a club.

I am nervous but I think we'll win. This is my reward for going home and away all season.

[Earley Royal]

Fairly nervous but also relaxed as its been a fantastic season which we can build on providing Stam stays (indications are that he will). New owners in place who hopefully will provide him with finds to step up another level.

Also don't mind losing to Huddersfield, a team similar to us in many ways. It it was Fulham, LUFC, SWFC...would be a lot more nervous as I hate them all

[The Reverend]

I'm remarkably relaxed.

Been to three losing finals. One more won't be the end of the world.

Though it's the "Best way to go up" apparently. Would be nice to give it a whirl

[Winchester Royal]

I am not nervous. I was nervous before Walsall, I was nervous before Swansea, but this year it just doesn't seem to be as important to me as it was back then.

[tmesis]

I'm not really all that nervous at the moment. I have the feeling I had before passing my driving test (after a couple of failures), not quite "bring it on" (thankfully) but more a restless anticipation.

[Hound]

I didn't think I would be but closer it has got to the game...

[From Despair To Where?]

I was so nervous against Walsall I could barely talk.

I'm feeling quite zen about this one. The only other Wembley/Millenium trip I've felt this chilled about was the Arsenal game because I knew we would lose. This time round I just feel that Stam will have done everything right. If we don't win, it wasn't meant to be. I might feel a bit different about 3pm tomorrow though.

And here. Although get me on Wembley way and things'll change.

I'm in two minds. Out of the 3 playoff finals we've been involved in, this seems the one we have the best shout in. And the fact that it's 22 years to the day since the Bolton game is making it a touch more important in my own head. 14 year old me, who was gutted for months after that final, wants this win more than anything.

So, I don't think I've allowed myself to think of a loss. That's nothing to do with the quality of our opponents, but more because we have to fukking win a Playoff final one day.

Who has the worst play off record, in terms of overall and finals? Is it us already?

I think Preston have lost three out of four finals, so unless anyone has bettered that, we're currently joint worst in the final? With 5 failures overall.

[Scutterbucketz]

I'm only counting finals.

I don't think I agree that this is the one that we have the best shout in. I think we had a great shout in every play off final we've been in and this is no different.

I was 16 for the Bolton final and I was absolutely devastated. Walsall was pretty bad but since then it hasn't felt so bad losing. Actually it has. I was annoyed losing to Rodgers. And I was annoyed losing to a Federici howler against Arsenal when tactically we were brilliant on the day. I think most of us feel relaxed because we have experienced the Premier League twice already and we love the Championship. The Premier League is great, but the Championship is a fantastic competition for a club of our stature. Existing in the prem like Stoke year after year seems a bit boring.

I wasn't counting Walsall. We should have smashed those pcunts.
