[Albion] Excitement Levels - Sunday

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Very calm. Expect to win, which is weird. But won't be too gutted to lose, as I'm certain we'll be the better team.

What a time to be Albion.

Exactly how I feel. A well-planned day with four companions, lunch table booked, train tickets bought, moderately swanky seats, not even a mild tickly cough, replica top selected, what's not to like? Three points would be the icing on an already lovely cake.

Crikey. What bell ends. @Dick Head, eat your heart out

35k BHA fans converging on Wembley and you're not excited ?

Winning is everything. Losing is nothing.

Excitement levels 11 out of 10. Thank goodness I have the cricket and the first semi-final to distract me today.

Full of confidence in the team tomorrow, we have been very consistent in our performance levels recently and I expect more of the same tomorrow, we just have to make the most of any opportunities that we create and avoid giving away any gifts to Utd.

Ive never hated manure more than i do now. Its the entitlemant and merchandise everywhere that p1sses me off.

 

[oldboyroy]

Can still see a contrived effort to ensure its a city United final. A Tottenham repeat with another apology coming?

 

[BN41Albion]

Strangely not that excited. Love the cup, but a semi at Wembley just feels wrong.

I've long got over that now. Makes it easier for us to travel to and makes it feels like a bigger occassion perhaps - plus we get more tickets at Wembley. As a certain former manager would say: it is what it is!

Until City are 3-up. For about 15 minutes then.

To be fair the thread was started just after their game in seville - not sure most fans would've been feeling particularly positive/optimistic at that point

Does the upper tier Concourse go all the way around or is it sectioned in blocks?

Cup football is great, we might win, we might lose. What we do know is that we’re competitive. Looking forward to it.

Looking forward to it.

Mix of nerves and anticipation, as feel Utd could be either completely shit or completely awesome, and ‘which one turns’ up will probably decide it more than anything.

Though stuck in Dubai, I have beers lined up, and will be constantly messaging (and looking out for a TV glimpse of) my two boys and wife, who will be there in person.

Sad not to be able to join them, but feel I have done my job as a father and husband having successfully added three fans to the Albion clan.

Too young in 83 for cup final, my third visit to Wembley with us.

Can’t wait, it’s going to be a special occasion

I have to politely disagree. The only question is which 'Albion' turn up.

If the best one turn up, United get absolutely no say in what happens tomorrow

Stupidly excited!! When I took my Jnr's in 2019, I took them for 'a once in a lifetime' day out seeing Brighton in the FA cup semi-final at Wembley. Let's face it we didn't get there easily with the Millwall game! The only way we were getting to the final would be due to a massive fluke. Here we are, just 4 years later and it won't be a fluke when we get to the final. It's so different this time, we can win this & get to the final because we're now very good.
For the 1st time in my life I'm willingly watching a game that doesn't involve Brighton and I am really hoping that Sheffield do what we couldn't in 2019.

 

[smillie's garden]

Spurs forum had very similar negativity levels as the Utd one. We bossed that match, lost focus twice, and got done by officials helping the big club. I very much fear a rerun on Sunday. Yes, I’m a professional pessimist.

 

[Wozza]

Excited but everything except the weather.

Just got my winter coat back out. *sigh*
