[Jayesh87]

2 days....

[Joe Le Toff]

Just to get everyone back down to earth....this team knocked the mancs out....in style.

What is our record against the mancs lately....?

Not too good.

So, it's doable, but hold your horsies.

This is a very good side we're playing and we all need to remember that.
But they are beatable, very very beatable.
We can win this no question.
Ive been as cool as a cucumber about it till this morning, now im starting to brick it big-time.
Cannot fcuking wait for this game.

[Joe Le Toff]

I could do with a good ****, too. My bowels are doing somersaults.

I'm really cacking meself! been the lav 2 times already today and already need to go again! And that doesnt include the fact that im pissing for Britain! I NEED THIS GAME OUT OF THE WAY FOR THE GOOD OF MY HEALTH!

We can win, but Milan will really really be up for this. Lets just pray that its counter productive

[Meursault]

Well I am ****ing nervous already and will just get more and more nervous until (God willing) Stevie lifts that Cup.

I'm sure Robbie will be happy to let Stevie lift that cup.

It's suddenly hit me this morning - Champions League Finalists.

The very last thing we should do is underestimate our amazingly experienced opposition, who will do everything in their power to make up for 2 years ago. But you can guarantee that Rafa will be finely honing the match tactics right now.

It's going to be unbearable Wednesday Afternoon.

Gonna lock bog door on Wed and keep key in my pocket!

Can you be kakking it and confident at same time?
I'm nervy but think we'll **** 'em!

[Mumsafan]

I think you're all sad and need to get a life! Even my other half has requested that Sky be avoided these next few days in the run up to the game so he doesn't get too wound up! - No chance - I keep phoning him and texting him "The boys are getting on the plane"......." OOh nice tops they have on"

i am actually really excited and looking forward to this final, it's scary but i have never felt like this going into a final. I think the amount of tension/worry of the thought of playing United had built up so much that to being playing Milan it is a relief. Add to the fact that we won it in 2005 and I have experienced what it is like to be European Champions takes off a bit of pressure. If we win no.6 it would be an unbelievable acheivement but if we lose to AC Milan i think i could take it, no shame in losing to them especially after they stuffed UTD in the semi and they probably owe us from 2005. That said i'm confident we can beat them again having learned so much from the experience of 2005, i honestly think milan will be ****ting it.

In 2005 the build up was unbearable but this time i'm relishing it and can't wait to wake up Wednesday morning (booked both wed and thur off work) and get on it

[brikkis]
