The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

I'm bloody nervous ;) :(

I'm just scared.

After all the shite i/we have sat through in the previous seasons, missing an opportunity to play at Wembley like this would just be unbearable.

I keep thinking the game is in the evening. That would work better, as I wouldn't have to spend the afternoon alone in my room with only a few cans of Heineken for company, but I'll have to make do. It's a hard life.

Starting to get serious nerves now, I just keep dreaming of what would happen if we get to W, and how amazing it would be...

then I remember we are underdogs.

Ah well, whatever happens, its been a great season!

I'm starting to feel nervous, will be worse when I get into the stadium.

Never ever felt this nervous about watching us play, only compares to when I have played in cup finals myself only now I can have no impact on the final outcome!
Went for medical option as I picked up a virus last week and have only left bed since to go to Nene Park and see the game, I'm blaming the play-offs for this illness.

It's been horrible. I've either been a) Having visions of losing cruely (penalties or last minute goal) or b) Having visions of the ball breaking to O'Connor on the edge of the area and him firing it across the keeper and in to win it at the death. Oh and I cried yesterday thinking about us losing. One positive (although it won't seem like that) is that if we lose I'll be able to concentrate on my exam revision.

Oh and I don't ****ing swear. ;)

I just struggled to eat my dinner.

And I'm usually a right greedy bastard.


Am not looking forward to sleeping tonight. The game will be torture for me, I hate listening on the radio. Wish I could be there.

Oh God I've started to well up again, I knew we should've finished 11th, I knew it! Must be my time of the month or something, I'm really emotional.
