3 points tonight please lads, no excuses.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Strongest possible team please Potter, no excuses.

 

[Goldstone1976]

We’ll need all 9000 away fans to roar us on to have any chance of victory.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

I’ll be settling down in front of the telly more in hope than expectation. Given our recent run of draws and the possibility of extra time and penalties, all that has to favour the home side .
However, it all depends on the strength of the teams the managers send out . Will they play their strongest side, will we ?
I will be over the moon if we win it but not too disappointed if we don’t.

Do we get 1 point or 3 points, if we win after extra time/penalties?

Would have normally have been on the beers by 10am for a big London away game. Anyone started yet?

To mix metaphors I'm probably looking at a lunchtime kickoff as today is a marathon rather than a sprint

 

[Taybha]

The Mrs has a huge family most if not all Spud supporters and have kindly invited me to sit with them today fully expecting me to be on my bestest behaviour, please god let us score

 

[RM-Taylor]

The question is, is it Northumberland Park or White Hart Lane?

4 points in extra time, 5 if on penalties

I’ll be watching this live on Arsenal Fan TV for concise and unbiased coverage.

 

[Monkey Man]

Got ticket but can't go as it's my last day of Covid isolation. Which can only mean Brighton are on course for a stunning performance and a brilliant victory. Hope you all enjoy it.
