Sit him down and explain the rules about supporting the team your dad supports and that's the end of that. Joking aside, take him to Wembley if we get through, he'll forget any of this plastic scouse nonsense immediately.

The two coin toss rule for penalties is ridiculous isn't it? There is simply no logic behind it. Doesn't history show something like 70% of teams win when taking first in front of their own fans? Infuriating.

Maybe. I'm not sure if it is an advantage though. They've scored 2 home goals in their last 5 matches. If we take any lead there they will be under significant pressure and their supporters are notoriously fickle. With our home record we have to have belief that we have a good chance of...

I think it almost certainly will be very close. You can't really ask for much more in a semi-final than to play a team bottom of the form table though. Provided Lampard doesn't allow complacency (which he obviously won't) we have a great chance. I still don't understand how we are underdogs...

I hated the idea of us having white shorts when this season's kit was unveiled. That said, if we get promoted in it in 2 and a half weeks time we can play in white shorts forever as far as I'm concerned.

Paterson. Context is key for me.

Since Lampard took over: Cov P29 Pts 52 Sun P29 Pts 43 Sunderland 4 goals in their last 10., 5 defeats on the trot. I'm not quite sure why the bookies have Sunderland as marginal favourites to win the tie.

Despite being 49 I am very excited by this, not to mention collecting the panini stickers.

Sick day, mate.

Got the bastards! Bring it on!

If I miss out at 11 I’ll do this (if they’re still available). Just checked and my youngest and I have 440 points each, I’ll be so pissed off if I miss out to somebody with 10.

Love the angle from behind the goal when you see the whole of the west stand stand up after BTA bullied their CB on the halfway line. And the roar that accompanied it. Brilliant.

I get that too, but it has to be set at a number that means those most deserving get a ticket, whether that be 10, 100 or 200 points. There will be shedloads scrabbling around for 6K tickets. That’s bollocks.

No that’s a bollocks comment. I fully expect to be behind 21k ST holders. But with 400 points I shouldn’t miss out to somebody with 10. My personal circumstance doesn’t allow me to get a ST. Why have a points system if it’s not going to be used?

I have 400 points but could lose out in a free free for all with someone who’s been to 1 game in the last 3 years. So that’s nice. 🙄

We’re a different beast at home as the games you mention above attest. Keep the faith.

I think so too, although based purely on how Lampard answered the question about the Luton goal.

Pressure. Literally anything can happen in any of the games. I've started talking myself into thinking Burnley might take their foot off the gas second half if Leeds are 3-0 up and guaranteed the title, and Millwall win 1-0.

Yeah you do get the sense he's going to twat him one day quite soon.

Lampard giving absolutely nothing away regarding injuries in his press conference.
