I hate the half and hour before the KO to massive games. My stomach does all sorts.

I have Law School Final Exams starting an hour and a half before KO. I hated not watching Wigan live at the weekend, let alone a match like this. I just know that while im supposed to be writing about the federal rules of evidence, my racing mind will put a few gerrards and carraghers onto those pages. Man, its gonna be brutal.

Crouch must play as Carvalho is the only defender they have that comes close to challenging Crouch in the air.

John Terry???

John Terry???

Not you again.Couldn`t be bothered today,maybe tomorrow.............

[Darth Marty]

im just trying not to think about it.....or sometimes i try to imagine being a fulham supporter and looking in on this as a neutral...when i can do that im fairly confident of us beating chelsea over 2 legs...then reality kicks in and im a nervous **** again!!!
Ah well...not long now.....nice safe draw there and beat the ****ers at ours..thats what the fulham supporters predict.

Mine to mate. At the moment I'm quite relaxed and looking forward to the game. This time tomorrow I'll be ****ting myself.

Dogs are ****ed, and fit as ****, they are forever getting walked!

And then I come back and nothing has changed, no new news, no team news, no breaking news, so cup of tea, biscuit then off we go again!

[The Glove]

every time I've seen us there we've lost.

Well done hero, Im blaming you.

[Red_Al_77]

Not tense at all to be honest. I only get nervous during games.

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

Deal with it?

Quite simply I don't.

THis time is easy. My four year old and my two year have bad colds and stomache flu. I just have to pay a lot attention to them, takes the mind off pretty much everything does cleaning up a two year old with diarrhea.

I know mate - hope it passes quickly (no pun intended)

I'm just wondering what you guys do to deal with the tension leading up to a big game like the CL semi final? Do you think about the match non stop like or try to keep your mind off the game completely.

The last few days I've been able to think of nothing else and my co-worker has commented today that I've been very quiet but how can I explain to her that I can think of nothing other than this match. I've also been a bit stroppy with the kids and spending more time on here that normal as-well.

So what do you lot do then other than speculate who Rafa will send into battle at the bridge?

Help

Beer, and nail biting!

I am really nervous because the Chelsea camp has been very quiet today - a worrying sign IMO.

I was expecting lots of talk from Mourinho and his boys, but all the talk is from our side - the last time we were all over the press before a Chelsea game we lost 4-1.

I wish we left them to do the talking. Not feeling as confident as I was this morning.

take it you didn't watch the warm up after the manc game then?
