    PR puff.

    This guy is plainly angling for the N Salop Pigbreeders website account.

    I suspect he rented that child.

    Ugh, not another Watford FA Cup semi-final.

    Reckon I’ll pass on this one and watch the next in a year or two.

    Every single opposition fan seems to think Wolves are a dead cert. Not really sure why they're spoken about in such higher standing than us when they're a whole one point ahead in the league and lost to us, at home, in our meeting earlier on in the season.

    The new in thing to jump on their little bandwagon, it seems.

    The moment Capoue went off to be replaced by Mario Suarez after 30 minutes, our chances disappeared! Here's hoping we don't get any injuries this time...

    Wouldn't be surprised if we started 352. Our 4222 struggled a bit to make headway against Fulham's 352, Wolves play the same.

    It'll be the bigger pitch that does it. Their legs can't cope.

    I feel confident, but nervous about today.

    This isn't the Watford side of the past. We've put a lot of our soft underbelly behind us (not sure if that works as a metaphor with the contradicting prepositions) and we have shown a consistency and resilience this season that is wholly new to us.

    We have proven we don't fear anyone and have the beating if all the teams outside the top 6.

    People will look at wolves and think "they beat Man Utd twice," however we completely dominated the Red Devils at their own place and wolves also just lost to Burnley.

    There will be a sense of the big occasion for their fans and players, but not so much for us, I'm sure. We've been here before and I sense that experience will help.

    We've beaten wolves already this season and whilst they've improved since then, so have we. We've shown we can beat teams in a number of ways and we've got players across the side and on the bench who can win it.

    Its football so its impossible to forecast accurately as anything can happen, but what I'm sure of is that we are good enough to beat them, we should beat them and we will give it a bloody good go. There won't be any of our previous, flat, Wembley no show performances. This side are capable of making history.

    It’s the hope that kills you.

    Deloufeu will set the tone, ducking out of an early challenge that was 80-20 in his favor, allowing Wolves to break and score with a hideous lily deflected effort past a flapping Gomes. We’ll limp to a 1-0 defeat, probably without a shot on target.

    A half-hearted penalty appeal that’s nowhere close to being a pen will probably be the best of it for us today. Disappointing as it is, the decision will spark hours of debate on the forum, leading to a forensic analysis of every penalty the ref has given other teams this year in a feeble attempt to ignore the fact we completely bottled it.

    Confidence shattered and nothing to play for, we fail to score again this season and finish 11th.

    Struggling to get excited about this tbh

    Comfortable win though in which we'll dominate throughout, bit of an anti climax.

    Don’t worry. Maybe our next Wembley appearance in 3 years’ time will be against more interesting opponents.

    I can't remember the feelings on here before we played Palace three years ago in the semi!, personally I think we were trying to stave off relegation and it was just another match with a chance of a cup final but staying up was much more important!

    The difference this time is we have consolidated our position in the Premier league, our performances all season have seen us beating and taking points off all of the clubs outside the top six bar Bournemouth, therefore optimism is at a high and a Wembley win today would be the due progress our players the club and fans deserve!

    We have never had a better chance of reaching our second cup final than we have today, if we do it the players will stand against the 1984 final team and go down in history, loose and the momentum will have be lost!

    (I really don't want to think about that) COYH

    I'd like to think we will reach another final in my lifetime but for the players' sake I really hope they play to their capabilities.
    If we lose then that's sport but the last two visits were painful due to so many under performing on both days.
    COYH!

    Pereyra has reposted the video of him at FT vs. Palace, so he could well be fit and in the squad.

    Now you've given me something else to worry about!
    What if I see a bus coming?
    Will I have time to get back to WGC and change underwear,like Feldman did in his sketch?

    Pereyra has just taken a couple of days off to practice the Bebeto baby cradling celebration.

    Should be fine.
