Because we can anticipate two great games, and speculate how we might/should/will line up. The Sky thing is a done deal.

But we can't change anything, so what's the point? It'd be great if you wrote down your forum discussion rules somewhere Martin, just so we know what we should and shouldn't talk about, it's all very confusing.

What's everyone having for their tea tonight?

Whatever the Mrs is cooking, I can't change it so what's the point in discussing it?

Just back from cycling trip in France, so busy/tired completely forgot about the game. What a result with that team. Think we have a real shot at the double (again) and think we'll do Wigan in the final and beat Leeds whatever day it is. IF we win I think any celebrations need to be put on hold, treat it as any other match and the preparation that goes on before and after. sure, we'll need to rest a few anyway but I'd be reasonably confident beating Leeds even with 4 or 5 first teamers out. The 4 day turnaround is a bit pants to say the least, can the club not ask for it to be changed?

I am hoping that winning the cup last year has scratched that itch and as it's the vast majority of the same players involved then they will not be allowed to go on a 3 day bender IF. We win.

Might sound a bit odd, but I think we would be better suited to play away should we end up in the top 4

Well i got slagged off/attacked for suggesting there was no real advantage to playing at home/in front of bigger support numbers.

The club will want to play at home as there's more money in it for them. It's 2 months away in any case, lots can happen between now and then.
