I just have This Is The One By Stone Roses on loop, really really excited.

tucking into the bbq over here.. having afew beers to settle the nerves!




cant wait for the txt around 2am saying were going to old trafford!!!

Got the sausage bacon and eggs on.

Cant say my stomach is up for the challege. but will need it because of the amount of beer i'll be putting into my big fat belly

Stuck at work, have been here since 7:30 making some IT changes. Want to get home and get my breaky/lunch, need to get shopping for beer and build up to the game. STILL STUCK HERE THOUGH!

Slightly random, but does anyone know anywhere in Manchester city centre i.e. around the Arndale/Piccadilly etc. that will be showing the match tonight?

The United SUnderland match kicks off at 17.30 and is live on ESPN so I'm worried everywhere's just going to show that!

Is ours a 17.30 kick off also? Thought it wwas 6 but bbc says it's 17.30.

Cheers.

I wouldn't imagine you've got a chance with Utd playing tbh.

I'd try the Walkabout because of it's like Wigan they'll have more then one box available to show games on and will be able to put that on aswell as the United game.

It may be without sound but at least you could watch it.

That's what I feared.

Maybe a sports bar will be shoowing both. Pity I don't know any.

Cheers fella, I'll give it a go.

Be gutted if I miss it!

There's Walkabout, is there not a Sports Cafe?

They are pretty much next door to each other. Walk down Deansgate towards the Hilton (Beetham Tower) when you get to the AMC turn right onto Quay street. Walkabout is the first one and then further down Sports Café

After writing all that I remembered that the Sports Café closed earlier this year

.

D'oh!!!

It's certainly Wigans best chance in a long, long time of not only winning at KR and reaching a final but putting the final nail in the coffin of the current Saints side. I think most Saints fans know the inevitable is on it's way.

I'm hoping this current Saints side will turn in two last big performance but I just can't see it.

Saints 12 Wigan 28

I havent slept



I've spent the night watching Leeds v Catalan, Saints game on Maundy Thursday, Saints game at Murrayfield Magic and then the game at Knowsley Road.

Feeling a bit tired now so might have a little sleep in the car, but I'm way too excited!

think you may have trouble here. i scoured the depths on manchester the past two years looking for a good place to watch the rugby always ended up on a train back to wigan and missing the first half. i doubt if united are on you'll find many places but i suppose you could ring walkabout manchester to just check. they didnt show the semis last year iirc but here is their number : 0161 817 4800

Told that Walkabout had the Leeds game on last night.

I watched the rugby in there one Saturday earlier this year when an England WC qualifier was on at the same time.

Wasn't Sports Cafe part of IFL's empire?

I think people thought it was but when all came to all he owned about 0.1% of it which he'd been given as a gift..............a pair of socks would have been worth more

I feel sick



About to set off in an hour.

Really hope we do this!!

Just been watching the big hits on Maurie and graham, on UT. Just to get me in the mood, also watched Feka v's Hull. Hope the boy can do that tonight, really nervous though. But looking forward to the game.

COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh ffs whys today goin so slow

The uneasy feeling in my stomach is simply down to the fact I don't know who is going to turn up today.

We've been brilliant the last few weeks but then the memories of Catalans and Warrington in CC semis hits me like smelling salts.

I just hope we can give them a game today!

Although Wilkin could have done Nobby's team talk for him. For a supposedly intelligent lad he doesn't half talk @$&*. Has basically dismissed us getting there by focusing completely on what'll happen when they play Leeds!

They dont rate us, they dont respect us.

Lets go out there tonight and really give it to them in their own dump of a backyard.

I rate Wigan currently. Dont respect anything to do with the club though.

i just farted and followed through, i'm that nervous, or could it be the vindaloo i had last night

SAD! The greatest and most successful club in the history of the game and this fella can't respect it. You don't have to like it, but respect is earned and if the success Wiagn have had doesn;'t earn respect then nothing ever will.

COME ON WIGN, JUST TO ANNOY THIS CLOWN!
