Right, I'm up. Just about to have bacon, eggs and mushrooms then off to watch City v Everton at the Etihad and then walking into town for a bit before heading over to Old Trafford to see Wire - I'm hoping going back to town to celebrate will end the day.

What a day ahead! Now The WIRE!

OMG i am so nervous

Just had a massive "nervous" dump, you know the type you have before going the dentist.

Just need several pints to calm the nerves

On the radio: George Michael, "you've gotta have faith"

I'm more of a frequent, loose dumper when the nerves kick in.

Me too. My bowels have been well and truly evacuated. No chance of a follow-through later when it gets to squeaky-bum time.

Good luck today Warrington,hope you beat the Pies

From a very jealous Bulls fan

I've kept myself remarkably calm since last Thursday. Got up a little late this morning, did myself a coffee and a bowl of cereal, sat down to watch tele, and discovered last nights Grand Final Preview programme on V+.

Far worse nerves now than last year.

C'mon the Wire.

Determined to enjoy the day. My nerves have other ideas though.

Aye and not just before!! while

I'm still all calm like. Just fed my little girl, she's down for a nap in half an hour, so I'll get today's run done then, shower, have lunch, pop and see my gran in her home, then it'll be time to leave. Expect I'll only get nervy when we get to our seats. Gotta says its more excitement and expectation this year though. This is why we go through what a lot of us have been through.

Wasn't there an American Football coach who used to end his pre-match pep talks with "where else would you rather be, than right here, right now?"

Out the door! Come on Wire!

Stay safe, and enjoy your day everybody!

In the matchstick men now getting rather merry
