Something about being mid way through a 2 legged game that decides the fate of your club after a hard fought 46 (well 47 now) game season makes time slow down.
I wish all the waiting was over and we could just get on with the game and know one way or the other what was coming next.
Mind you it must be worse for the team 2-0 down going into the next leg. They are waiting knowing they have an absolutely mammoth hill to climb, at least we are waiting with some sense of confidence (though not complacency of course, we all remember Cambridge!)
Still you've got to love the play-off games. They are so tense it's amazing. Forest hitting the post in injury time in their game with Swansea had me on the edge of my seat and I don't really care about either side. Just the atmosphere and the occasion that did it. When you're team is involved that magnifies it all the more.
We're 2-0 up at half time, that's a good start. But there's a long way to go and I'm damned sure I'll be a nervous wreck before it's over!

hELLo PatJ - well you are one step nearer to your dream of seeing that 8-8 draw!! Just get past Torquay now in the final and you won't know what to do with yourself in the Owls v Stevenage matches next year (laugh).

Yes, tomorrow is the big day.
Unfortunately it's also my best friend from school's big day so I will be stuck in a church instead of Old Trafford. Pity.

How inconsiderate of your 'friend'. !
Will be willing you on to victory and looking forward to the matches next season. Good luck.

Pat, you just need to run those earphone cords under your Sunday best and keep the volume turned way down low! Oh, and remember not to shout when Boro score- It won't go down well in church!
Will miss your match report.

Cracking first goal ! Great time to score - just before half-time (and any other cliche you can think of) .

Well done Stevenage - from a Reading fan. Doesn't surprise me really even, to be truthful our cup match against you was much harder than many of our league matches on the way to the championship play-offs!
