Superb

Yass!! Yeah he's far better at celebrating than Anderson, who looks like someone from the 70s who would quite happily just run back to his position and possibly applaud a little

Yeah the amount of times he'll end up on the floor with some forward who gets straight up and runs to the ref screaming before deciding to try and square up to Wright is superb, especially as Wright just sort of stands there looking bemused as players (usually Anderson) get inbetween the two players

Aye without doubt, if he was an opposition player I'd be wanting free kicks every time he's going for a header, and the wind ups would possible annoy me. I just find it tremendous that in the biggest match in our history he starts laughing as we almost lose a goal as if it was some pre-season friendly, and then responds to all the patronising chat about us being "underdogs" and being a "one man team" and how if United played their best going forward we'd be beaten with the simplest of truths, said with his usual perplexed expression, with not a hint of humour in his voice

The funniest thing is Gunning is probably earning the most out of the three. I hope we get Anderson signed up pronto, since Duberry came in he's probably been one of the best defenders in the country, I worry that the Final will have upped the interest in him

Yeah Wright spent all game winding up Ciftci who decided he'd rather argue back than actually try and play any football, utterly superb mind games I reckon

Theres something utterly loveable about the c**t, maybe its the way he just seems to casually wander about taking folk out and winning headers without ever really looking like he understands where he is, but theres just something about him I love. As an aside did you stay awake for the game this time?

Thats me just seen the Frazer Wright interview from after the match, that combined with the photo of him laughing in the background after Graham missed the chance at the end, its impossible to hate that man. Utter hero in every form

Can I just add its incredibly hilarious seeing the Dundee fans all over this thread, the amount of them that seem to be trying to muscle into the celebrations is cringey to the extreme. You'd almost forget they have their own trophy to celebrate the way they seem to solely be talking about this Final now

I'm still in shock, genuine shock at what I've witnessed. I was on the edge of my seat for 75 minutes then I happened to glance away from the pitch and notice the time, it then hit me like a ton of bricks what was actually unfolding before my eyes. There was tears everywhere in the last ten minutes, and my mates have admitted that the tears were flowing, I didn't though as I simply couldn't muster up the strength to actually cry, always forget how much these games take it out of you. We rode our luck with the two United shots off the post, it was fucking marginal stuff and after the first one the Saints crowd quietened a bit due to the nerves. We did deserve the win though, as we took our chances when they same and (yet again) completely stunted the United attack. I'll repeat what I've said for large parts of the season, that GMS isn't even a shadow of what he used to be, Ciftci is terrible, and Armstrong is completely wasted under McNamara. I dont really get why people are pushing the "underdog" tag though, we're a better team than United and we have a better manager, its really not a massive shock we won. Delighted with our crowd though, worried the amount of "day trippers" would suck out the atmosphere but they all joined in, and at times it felt like I was part of a wall of noise, something on that scale is something I'd never thought I'd ever experience at a Saints game, it was glorious. I never got any photos or videos, no time for that! United crowd was poor though, didn't hear much of them apart from the usual moaning every time a player went down, the banter on the way home was good though, almost certain our diver slowed down a couple of times as we overtook a United bus Also my night out was sullied by the fact I was on the way down by the time I made it out, Ice Factory was heaving though, so much sweat it reminded me of "old" Loft. We left early though, I was verging on collapse due to exhaustion and dehydration As a final note I'm delighted for the players, especially Mackay, Anderson, Wright and Millar. All have been tremendous servants, and they deserved their names cemented in our history, think it was Kyle who said it before about it being a shame Liam Craig wasn't here and it is, he deserves to be remembered as a legend aswell for his role in our latest era, its a shame how it unfolded. Delighted for Wotherspoon though, he deserved a goal.

I'm about to set off on the first part of my trip there. I'll see you all on the other side. Feeling quite calm now actually.

I'm a mixture of... And...

*wakes up, has breakfast and relaxes in front of the tv and reads articles on the laptop, plenty of time...... goes to shite, realises something must be up, looks at clock..........* 7:43 - Pretty much 7 hours to go....

Not being facetious but you've been mentioned in about three posts in this entire thread, and thats purely down to NDD coming on and having some form of breakdown

I WANTED TO BE ASLEEP TWO HOURS AGO

Its a shame we couldn't mash together that one and the Dortmund one with the "binoculars guy". We could have one side of the stadium with a cannon firing a shell towards the big smiling puss of cockwomble, everyone then puts ups cards to show an explosion before a new set of cards shows the words "Armageddon" It would be literally impossible to do, but it would be utterly incredible if it was done

17 hours until kick off...

Its an utterly horrendous feeling, but its also brilliant in a way. My girlfriend has literally no idea why I'm so worked up about it, after all its "only football". Only football my arse, this feels like more I'm worried about that too. If I drink just the right amount I'll be jolly, drink too much and I'll "do a Beatson". I've been terrified everytime a car comes near me aswell incase it knocks me down and I cant make this match, my girlfriend wants to go jogging tonight, I'm refusing on the basis I might die I do think, in many years time, I'll look back at May 17th 2014 as one of the most enjoyable days of my life regardless of the result. But this build up of nerves is incredible

My heart is still racing after I woke up this morning and realised it was my last day of work before tomorrow, I might not survive the night. Utterly shitting it, and some people might have noticed I've barely posted on this site over the past week in my desperation to continue living my life and not be consumed by thoughts of the Final. I have to say I simply can't comprehend seeing us win the trophy, theres just a part of me that can't work it out in my brain. I cant even figure out that we'll be playing in the Scottish Cup Final tomorrow either, something about is so completely surreal to me that it can't make sense no matter how much I read about it actually happening. I do think its maybe jut my own brains defence mechanism against the sheer horror I feel whenever I think about the whole thing. Tonight will be hellish, and up until kick off tomorrow I'll be feeling utterly sick. I really, really, really want us to win, as I've never been the type of fan who walks away after loss happy that we gave it our best shot, if we lose I'll be heartbroken and in a shiter of a mood for weeks. Please win Saints, please.

I'm actually very good mates with the guy receiving the hand job, although it wasn't me giving it to him this time before anyone says it

Nah I'm not even that, just a mechanic in a small garage. Be thankful I can't charge you for reading my posts though, or that I can't put into words the motion of sucking air through my teeth

I can only apologise, I genuinely can't believe it though. Ninety one hours from now we'll be in a packed Celtic Park watching the sides run out. Christ

Yeah I kind of regret thinking about it now. f**k. ITS ONLY 91 HOURS UNTIL KICK OFF

Agree with most people about last nights episode. I'm well past the point of wanting Theon/Reek dead and the whole shitty storyline finished with, although the way it ended last night suggests it merely the beginning of the whole thing. I also agree that the Daenerys storyline is stagnating badly, but I've no idea where it can really go from here now, clearly she wants to take Westeros but does she now want to rule on both sides of the water? Or does she just want the Iron Throne back? Feels like her story moved too fast early on and now shes having to wait on everyone catching up. Enjoyed the trip to the Iron Bank, the fact we got to see them emphasises my belief they've a big part to play in this series yet, possibly in regards to the Lannisters. Get the feeling this is Stannis' last chance at winning the throne though, and I don't think he's going to ever manage it, so I guess that means he'll likely die soon. Unless they change his story arc of course, although theres absolutely no scope for that to me. I know who fights in the trial, rather annoyingly, as I would've loved it if I had no idea. I do wonder how much they'll change from the books though, and thats keeping me intrigued for it immensely I also think Tommen is a good shout to maybe "win". He strikes me as probably being the best option for the "people", and I'm not sure who could really displace him (outwith Daenerys' dragons and the Iron Bank of course). I do feel Littlefinger will have a good chance, and talking about it last night with friends I'm starting to feel that he'll get married then throw his new wife and son out the "Moon door", therefore becoming Lord of the Eyrie and controlling an army. Can't see that sort of situation winning anything for him though

To be fair he didn't mention it at first! He's come into us a few times and I vaguely remember my boss telling me about how he used to do voice overs or the like, but I can't remember if it was actually your dad or not he was on about. Anyway as soon as he heard your last name mentioned on the radio he knew, and I think he asked your dad today if it was any relation. So there we go. Well done anyway, and I hope it leads on to better things for you. Just a shame its not the type of song we could've sang as a support, but if we win, and its played at the end? Fucking hell there'll be hunners of tears everywhere
