    This seems rather feeble:

    Wycombe are called the "Chairboys" because of the tradition of chair-making in the town of High Wycombe. The nickname was used in the early days of the Club but was only resurrected after the 1980's fanzine Chairboys Gas dug out the name from the history books.

    Maybe because they never stand up? Not much to cheer about with their lump it upfield approach from the wannabe rock star manager...

    It's idiotic isn't it, if you'd shook that nickname off the last thing you'd do is to campaign for it to come back.

    The name originated when they manufactured Windsor chairs on licence ...

    ... how ironic that they refer to MK Dons as Franchise FC <doh>

    I hate virtually everything about 'the Wembley experience' tbh.

    I hate the music, the flames, the fireworks, Queen blasting out, etc etc etc.

    Most of all I hate when they announce the attendance and say 'Thank you for your support'.

    Who the f**k are you thanking and what gives you the right to patronise me you mug!!!

    I'm here because of my team, they don't need to thank me.

    I really hate everything false, I just loved every thing that came natural and unexpected, every match is different, I remember away at Shef unt we started singing Haway the Lads and it felt as though it never stopped until half time, goose bumps on your neck mate.

    That's the general plan, bait inside beer outside and close to the tube.

    We're hoping to grab the outside tables by 10am ...

    ... any volunteers <laugh>

    Then sang 'we're gunna win the league' all through the break ....

    .... I was arrested after the game but I'd put 5 United on their arses so I consider that a draw <laugh>

    I got off, in court, by claiming I was attempting to make a citizens arrest <party>

    Sorted out another 9 tickets, for people today, but I think that's about all I can do.

    I think Wembley will release another block or two if Wycombe sales slow.

    I expect they will because Sunderland have been blocked and they've already sold 16,000 which will include some of us.

    I have a few mates, registered on WWFC, but I hope we don't inadvertently push them to 19,000 and trigger another allocation.

    I was behind the goal where we got the penalty. Some unknown bloke started to hug me. Would have been worth it if we scored. That was the first Wembley final penalty miss ever.

    4.23pm on WWFC .... 17,903 sold so far.

    General Sale at 10am tomorrow.

    I'm hoping they don't scrape 19,000 or they'll be given another batch that they won't sell.
