Sorry fella, but that's my personal opinion and if you don't agree, I fully respect that. No hard feelings.

Anyway, goingoff on a bit of a thread drift here.

Oooo so many things to look forward to!

* Putting on my blue and yellow costume I'm working on for the first time.

* Driving down the motorway amongst the many other cars, minibuses and coaches decked out in p&b.

* Travelling with a bunch of mates, drinking beer and singing Wire songs all the way!

* Stopping at service station with all the other fans and enjoying the atmosphere and sense of cameraderie.

* Being outside the ground before kick off amongst all the other fans. I've never been to a major cup final, much less a Wire one and it's going to be amazing!

* The team coming on to the pitch. I'm getting goosebumps now thinking of the roar that will come from the sea of primrose and blue.

* Warrington's first try. I hope it's Lee Briers. He deserves it.

* Hopefully the countdown to the final whistle as the winning side. Counting down those final ten seconds as winners of the 2009 CC would be incredible.

I'm so excited. I feel like I can't possible wait two more weeks!

Fully agree with that one, Chick.

*Putting on my P&B in the morning

*Turning the corner on the coach and seeing Wembley at last

*Paying my £4.50 for a pie

*Standing at the top of the step to see all the fans there

*Watching the '74 players go round the pitch

and the one that will top it is the players coming out... the will turn me to jelly

The Queen isn't German.

HTH.

sie sind doof, ich kann sie nicht glauben!

Some typically to$$pot 'socialist' type comments on here about the royal family. Why not burn the flag and go down and pi$$ on the cenotaph why you are at it?

as a socialist ex serviceman i take offence at your comments!

That is 'socialist' in inverted commas. Maybe I should use 'anarchist' or 'republican'. Either way they are ill informed comments.

A socialist would be unlikely to suggest Land of Hope and Glory as an alternative, being as it is the anthem of the Tory Party.

either way they are opinions, people are entitled to them! and in my opinion the monarchy is an outdated institution, i'm willing to debate it with you, but this aint the place!

Jerusalem is a hymm/anthem for socialist reform, though


Personally, I can't wait to see grown men cry.

Nor can I wait to see our kid's face. She didn't want to come to Widnes at all, because two of her little friends were going to the park, but by the time it kicked off, she was singing away and telling the Wigan fans she didn't like their shirts.

Post match, she was literally dancing home and singing She Wore A Yellow Ribbon and telling her mum she's going to Wembley. "Mum, I'm going to Wembley... where's Wembley, Bobby? ... Mum, have I ever been to London?"

or land of dope and tories as i prefer to call it!
