I'm the same, I keep shying away from the thought of losing, wembley has always been fun. On the other occasions I've been I always felt we were going in the stronger team and felt pretty casual about the whole thing, feels weird being the underdog here with the bookies and everyone else...
Ah what!? I think we were at the park with thousands of other fans last time, were a few shops over the road so was easy access. Has it changed there as well?
Pessimism tells me that we will struggle with these, they're a big unit and won't be bullied or kicked about as much as Middlesbrough,they will also defend deep and we may struggle to unleash Vik. Looking at it positively, we haven't lost to them this season, we've been on a great run and have...
I'm likely going to go to a few pubs but then lower myself to the drinking some cans on a bench with my pals, no queue times that way, cheaper and hopefully good weather.

I did in the end, I'm very fortunate. My colleague at work was able to get an extra one in his crowd. I feared for those buying them today including myself, I'm indebted to him for helping me out. How did you get on?
Oddly the nerves I've felt for the last two against Middlesbrough were far worse. I'm uncharacteristically relaxed about this final, not sure if that will change on the day..sure it will.
