Friends of Fulham

Mine have kicked into overdrive today. Can't think clearly about anything other than Saturdays game

I'm on medication so I haven't any, nerves that is.

I must admit it's taking up a lot more of my thoughts as the last few weeks have gone by.
Try eating cheese.
My intake has increased considerably causing the wife to nag more.
That takes my mind off Saturday for a while (each time)

Productivity is at a particular low at work, haven't been so inefficient since before the Hamburg semi!

Surprisingly calm at the moment although I have noted an uptick in my chocolate consumption, and come the day I guess I will be eating Mars bars non-stop.

Amongst other things, I have taken to sniffing glue, which I have become stuck on. I may also attempt to cross the English Channel on a plank, if I can find a plank long enough. I have also taken up knitting, and am currently knitting a sack to store bin linners in, as well as seeing how many keyholes i can look through before Saturday.
But apart from those things nothing out of the ordinary to be perfectly honest. Just an average week, quite boring really.

I'm very nervous, not that I think the team will play badly, just because I desperately want Fulham to win by at least 3

This is the longest, most hellish week already.

Relax Genitalmen, of course play offs are never easy. but we have two bites of the cherry, and with an away record like ours, we have a chance of winning both matches. What we mustn't do is just rely on winning one, even though that might be enough. 😁⚽️🏆🏆

Fulham...relax!? No chance!

Personally stoic about the Reading matches: if we can't win over the two legs we don't deserve to be in the Premier League.

However, if we reach the Final I expect I'll be having kittens.

Finally after being asked 13,456 times by the wife to clear the junk out the shed I have made a start,but after finding a box of old programmes I've stopped and started reading them,keeping one eye as a lookout.

Cyclops use to do the same. As did the Pirate Long John Silver. 

I'm a postie and I think I have putting letters in wrong letterboxes just can't seemed to stop thinking about the game going to need a defibrillator ready my old heart can't take a lot of this

Was fine until my tickets arrived this morning,now forget work to busy texting mates

I am taking my oxygen tent to the ground.

To be honest i don't let these situations bother me, this is just me but we will win or we won't, nothing I can do about it either way, I will cheer the win or feel sad if we don't but only for a short time. My days of getting excited over a game of football have long gone.

Each to their own though, you feel what you feel

Says the closet Felix fan.  :005:

I made the mistake of booking a long holiday six months ago, flew out to Costa Del Sol the day after Brentford game and not due to return home until June 9th.
I have not had the stress of booking tickets for the semi games so it's a relaxing time for me until Saturday, when I Shall be at my favourite sports bar for the game and again for the second leg.
Hopefully will be booking flights back for final, that's when the nerves will kick in.

You'll always find the solution to your problems at the bottom of a glass.

Well, marijuana is legal where I'm from, so interpret that however you'd like ;)

Remember, it's the second mouse that gets the cheese  :0)

Havin a few days break from work,playing snooker indoors and chilling in the pub.

Keeping my head down.  Focusing on work. Trying too ignore Saturday. Even working Saturday til 5 pm, to block it out!! Thank God for Sky. There is a pub opposite where I am working so I will be straight in there, no time to get flappy!!
COYW

Must admit it's all I can think about right now. Not nervous one bit at the moment, unlike my mate who can't sleep thinking about it. Come Saturday when I'm in the Golden Lion supping my usual 5 pre match pints, only then will the nerves start. Just hope we carry on with the confidence we've shown over the last six games or so. If we do, we will be ok. Bring it on.COYW!!

Not long now everyone. Really starting to get agitated now. Thankfully I've got work later to speed up some time coyws

Thankfully!!! Works been making it 100 times worse. I can't wait till 17:00 to get off and then the preparation for tomorrow can begin! :)

Down the gym this morning I was watching Sky Sports News on the screen in front of the treadmill. They had a list of Man City players who are out of contract this summer and I started thinking about having a few of them in the Fulham squad next season... then I fell off the treadmill.

Work done!!!! COYW!!!

I had a made craving for liquorice today, but wish I hadn't succumbed now

I'll go along with this, surprisingly calm - @ the moment....

Almost unexpected that we should make the top 6 @ the very last, a huge bonus that we have done it
Stories of Crystal Palace abound doing the same & going all the way into the Premiership
I have a mate who is a Reading supporter & we used to go to all the old R V F games - @ CC & Elm Park
He admits to dreading drawing us in the first round of play offs

Remember going to the new Reading ground with Keegan's Fulham & winning, 1-0 I think

Very unsure if we managed to cross the finishing line & make it, how on earth would we survive in the Prem?

Do NOT want us to be the whipping boys...

A massive investment required

Is Khan really up for that, retaining our best players & giving Joka the support he needs & deserves?

Having said that of course I would love us to get back & who wouldn't turn the opportunity down

Makes you realise what an achievement we made to last 13 seasons

So bring it on as they say

What will be will be

So COYW!!

Aaaaàaaaahhhhhhhhhhh wobble wibble  wibble Aaaaàaaaahhhhhhhhhhh I am just acting normally

Got an exam the day after the second leg so nerves are through the roof at the moment. Just need us to take a 2 goal lead for Tuesday and I'll be alright

Good luck with your exam, it could be double bubble celebration for you.
I also have an exam today, examining my finger nails.

ran 38K around the Tokyo Yamanote train line this morning for charity - now i have to wait until 1:30 am for the game

my team came in first, if you are interested - likely because i was wholly focused on the game tonight, and not the pain of the run.

Good luck to you too

Acknowledging that this is a hurdle and whilst it's important to win, there's still a final at Wembley where real significance is and a harder game before we should be getting excited/ahead of ourselves.

I was on holiday until yesterday. So that helped.

Cacking it today though. Being 5:30 just compounds it as well for some reason.

Perhaps I am the odd one out but rather than calm down, one is building up to fully appreciate the momentuous phenomenon that will reshape every Fulham supporter's lives!

Odd and you do go together Nick

2 more hours for lift off.

Drinking. Lots.

I'm more nervous today than I was last week, and I don't even think that we will get the win. Gonna be a long two days

Same here, never thought I would be this nervous. Whereas last week I knew we would get a second bite at the cherry no matter what happened on Saturday.
Now tomorrow night it's do or die. It's has to be settled on the night.
I do not think I could survive a penalty shoot out though.

I find eating a whole packet of extra strong mints during the game helps and almost certainly guarantees we win. Also, if you get taken ill during the game there will be many volunteers to give you the kiss of life.

Nick:
Never one for understating things

It's no good, had to sack work off. Going to smash a few balls down the range instead

I feel absolutely sick. This is up there with hamburg final. Can't stop thinking about what might happen to the squad if we lose. Or just how heart breaking it could be if we get to penalties and continue our seasons form with them. You lot have all talked me into Frederick's being reckless too, and I can see him getting sent off in the first 5 mins. I've even had the day off work as I just can't get anything done. But stuff it, WE ARE FULHAM FC, CRAVEN COTTAGE IS OUR HOME AND SLAVISA IS OUR KING. COME ON YOU WHITES  049:gif

Same. Can't work. Haven't felt like this for so long. In Hamburg I was quite drunk on the Reeperbahn so was fine, however today at work is horrible.

I was doing good until midday. Now I am a nervous wreck. I was pretty sure there would be a post like this on here, and it helps ease the anxiety.

This is different, and not bad - when we got relegated I had no hope. Hope is a great thing. The team/Slav has done great this year regardless and if we don't make it are in great shape for next year.

I am pretty sure we are far more nervy than the players, which is also re-assuring.

Chewing my nails, will start drinking at 7.45.

Oh how I wish I was going!!!!!! Good luck to all who are!!!!! COYW!!!!  :yay: :clap_hands: 049:gif

Strangely i feel less nervous today than i have for at least a week.Don't know why.Perhaps it's because we have been playing so well away this season.Stupidly confident we will make it to Wembley and beyond.COYW

I was at the Cottage on Saturday and was very confident before the game....How am I coping now?  I have been busy all day so able to put the game to the back of my mind  but now I'm just waiting for the kick off.  Just having a couple of glasses of wine to steady the nerves.  This is such a massive game for us but the boys know that and in Slavisa we trust.  Will be watching at home on Sky - if it goes to penalties I will have to hide behind the sofa.......
