    Anyone want to hear something funny?

    So work just rang me... "can you do a night shift for us next Saturday please?" <laugh>





    No really <laugh>

    I actually laughed down the phone, which prompted a 'Oh ****, you're off to the cup final aren't you? Never mind...'

    Didn't realise we had that many players who had featured. We look we have a proper squad like a real football team.

    From here to infinity. Or Middlesbrough away. That'll bring you down to earth.

    The other surprising thing is that the only 2 players who have featured in all 5 games are Yoshida and Højbjerg.

    The Ugly inside have just published the list of fan zones and pubs for respective fans. Might be useful for those without tickets watching in the pub close by. This could include me.

    Not sure which ones have Sky mind.

    So when has Claude ever picked the team you expect?

    here's the team that came together to beat Sunderland:

    • Forster
    • 2Soares
    • 24Stephens
    • 3Yoshida
    • 21Bertrand
    • 8Davis
    • 14Romeu
    • 16Ward-Prowse
    • 11Tadic
    • 22Redmond
    • 20Gabbiadini
    My pick (and Claudes) for Wembley:

    • Forster
    • 2Soares
    • 24Stephens (dumped for MC after proves fitness in Spain)
    • 3Yoshida
    • 21Bertrand
    • 8Davis
    • 14Romeu
    • 16Ward-Prowse (dumpted for Højbjerg because JWP always gets dumped)
    • 11Tadic (swapped for Boufal even though Tadic/Gabbiadini seemed the dream combination)
    • 22Redmond (always picked so replaced by Long even if out of position)
    • 20Gabbiadini
    Odd enough to be right?

    We'll see

    Just a pre-training strapping. Look at the tape next to JWP. Lots of players strap before playing or training.

    This is bringing back fantastic memories and pumping the excitement levels up another notch for me. Hoping to see lots of flags, balloons and red and white around me in a weeks time.

    I'd like to see this formation for the Final

    -----------------------------Forster-----------------------------------
    -----Soares-------Yoshida-------Stephens-------Bertrand----
    ---------------Romeu------------------Davis-----------------------
    ----------Redmond---------Tadic-------------Boufal-------------
    -----------------------------Gabbiadini------------------------------

    Don't think it'll happen as Puel doesn't really play 4231 and it's also quite an attacking line up.
    But if this was Champ Manager back in the day then that would be my setup, we'd win 3-1 and go on to take European glory next season.
