i'm getting really nervous now, and still 5 days to the final. way worse than 2005 for me so far.

[Flasher]

I'm exploding already. It's rediculous. Ages yet..........

[Guy_Incognito]

I was fine. Thought I'd got away with it, but then I woke up at 4am yesterday and couldn't get to sleep for hours. Just constantly thinking about the game, and in particular Mascherano vs Kaka.

 

It's bad, I know that, but I dunno if it's worse than Istanbul. I don't think I've ever experienced anything like the PMT for that.

[Florist Cinema Pond Goal]

I don't really seem to believe it's happening yet. 2 European Cup finals in 3 years doesn't really make sense.

 

Once the 3rd/4th play off is over I'm sure the nerves will be through the roof.

I logged on to start a thread about how the nerves were building and to ask if anyone else was starting to feel the same....

 

after the semis I was just so happy and content that we were through and that there was no danger of losing to the mancs...in a sense making the final was all I needed...even the prospect of defeat was one of defeat to a club like Milan and there's no shame in that...

 

...but now!!! just read an article on UEFA.com about gattuso and gerrard and there's butterflies...starting to feel it and all of a sudden the prospect of just competing isn't enough!!!

 

it's only gonna get worse

Cool calm and collected.............at the moment.

[Stevie H]

not even started yet. expecting it to kick in on monday.

[matty]

My stomach is in knots every time I see the word football.

 

Much worse than Istanbul, when I was shocked that we'd got there, the fact that we were playing the match hardly seemed to register.

[plonky]

Pretty good at the moment to be honest. Not expecting it to get anywhere near Istanbul levels

[Alonso]

Quitely confident. I think our midfield (Alonso, Gerrard and Mascherano) will be enough to nulify theirs and give us that edge. Rafa won't becaught out again like he was in Istanbul. Once he knew how to contain them we beat them 3-0! Their strikers aren't a patch on what they had in Istanbul and their full backs are certainly a weak area. Ok Kaka seems to have gone up a level since then (god knows how!) and is the best player in the world but Rafa will know how to stop him (probably Mascherano on him). Crouch's presence will cause them problems at the back and with Kewell and Pennant working the wide areas where there will be space due to their narrow formation.

Me too to be perfectly honest. I don't know of it is confidence or it hasn't sunk in yet the magnitude of the game. Before the Chelsea games I was nervous for the whole week before it. Before the United AC game I was bricking it. I think had it been United in the Final I would be in bits. But so far so good. It's just great thinking that the FA cup has been over shadowed by us reaching Athens. That has kept me calm.

[Andy @ Allerton]

I'm at 0% at the moment - will likely increase if I make it to Athens on this Bulgarian train

Exactly the same for me.

 

It'll all start on Monday.

[IgPig]

OK at the minute but veering between being very confident (and looking forward to getting ratted watching the match all night, then the parade all day as in 2005) and worried that we are going to get t******.

I was fine until I read your post in the Packing for Athens thread. Now I am absolutely s***ting myself about meeting you there.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Nothing so far. But then, my job's an utter c*** & takes all of my energy

it's the speedo, isn't it?

[Paisley]

I feel sick every time an advert comes on telly etc, so am trying to avoid it and not think about it until Wednesday.

[Boca]

it's the speedo, isn't it?

 

Not so much the speedo, but the lack of other items of clothing to accompany it

[cymrococh]

I keep veering madly from confidence to terror.

 

I was really confident last time and got incredibly low for the first half an hour.

 

This time I can't see us losing in Europe, or in a final.

 

But they are really really good.

[smithdown]

Thought about the game for the first time this morning...bottle went.

 

I'm not doing that again til about 7pm next Wednesday.

[swano]

Just watching last seasons FA cup final highlights on sky.... Stevie is due another wonder goal on wednesday.

At the moment I'm more worried about what state I'll be in for a job interview on Thursday morning at 9am.

Unless you have the self discipline of a Ninja, I think you might as well forget about that one.
