Haven't been this nervous and excited for a fixture in a long time.

Feels a lot different to our last semi final, which was more of a fun day out with a small element of hope that we might be able to turn them over.... This time we are going in as bookies favourites and could realistically reach the FA Cup Final on merit....

That all said, Man Utd even with all their problems, are a very strong side with some outstanding individuals who will be up for this, and will take us very seriously... We will (probably) need to be at our best today to see this through.

Whatever happens, it will be amazing day for the club and the fans, and probably the neutrals too, as it will surely be a highly entertaining game of football.

Good morning- unfortunately I won’t be there but it is is on tv here. I’m very excited about the match. The downside is the the Maldives is Muslim and has a strict no alcohol policy outside the resorts so I shall not be able to celebrate with a beer.
Anyone else watching from outside the UK?
I'll will be in Frankie's Bar in Vilamoura, Portugal. There will be muitas cervejas grandes.

I fluctuate between tension and a meh… feeling. I can’t help feeling that Man C would beat us in a final . We are beyond being delighted just to be in a final, if we are there we want to win it . If only it were any other team but City!
Then again, when I will see the crowd and players coming out , I will be proud of my club and shouting at the tv . “ Up the Albion ! “
I suspect that City would rather play United in the final - I think we are one of the few teams they worry about.

Awake at 3am this morning. Got back to sleep for a while at 5:30 and now I've no idea where I am.
Distinctly remember half time in '83 and a 1:0 lead. I thought 'remember this moment for ever because it will change before full time and never happen again'.
Today I'm off again but it seems so different to both the Finals and Semi Final before. I'm going with a skip in my step knowing we can win this and only the FA can stop us.
Expect goals and at least 3 from us. Just make sure it's less for them.
I had exactly the same feeling in '83. I just couldn't believe that we were at Wembley AND 1-0 up! Really looking forward to this one.
