Only one thought this morning and it'll be the same tomorrow morning. What an achievement for our club, management and players. We were a tinpot non-league pub team once according to some. Sky sports this morning.......
Pep Guardiola trophys won loads (can't remember exact no) Nigel Clough trophys won 0, zilch.
Think they need to do their homework, I know it's not loads but he/we have.

I can remember winning the Southern league cup. As well as the Unibond league and the Conference.

^^^ We got a cup for League one runners up 2015-16 too.
It's just Sky trying to stretch the wow factor that little old Burton haven't won anything of note, type of attitude.
They were even showing the so called giant killing from his Sheffield/Derby days, it's a wonder they didn't mention his did again not winning the FA cup etc etc, but that's all to come I guess.

Never bite the hand that feeds you Bennyboy.They can show and say what they like for me as long as they keep chucking money at us. I take no notice its just filing a slot with crap.

Looks like kick off may be delayed. Lots of coaches stuck on the m6. Players arrived 15 or so ago and left at 3

I am in Sri Lanka and our time is five and a half hours ahead of Blghty.... it doesn’t start until 1.15am. COYB xx I have a very grumpy hubbie who is moaning that the light from the iPad will keep him awake... grounds for divorce m’thinks....

Sat Nav on coach saying we are still 30 mins away. (7.35pm arrival) There are coaches behind us not due to arrive til after kick off time. 15 mins delay to game would help. Our bus ended up taking all sorts of diversions.

If you can't make it to the Etihad, there is a chance the game will be shown on hesgoal.com. I can't guarantee it but... A friend of mine called me halfway through the Middlesbro game and I watched the second half live. It's currently Tuesday at 9.00 and the Chelsea Spurs game is on. The commentary is in Dutch (the quarter final was in Russian) which is a blessing - we won't have to listen to a stack of patronising comments tomorrow night. At the moment, we'll be playing Spurs in the final but there's a long way to go. But don't bank on it. Hope it works. Will be on sky and every sports pub in the world too. Which is quite cool, I guess. Bit of exposure for the pub team, and Burton. For those who can't get down the pub and have Virgin instead of Sky, the game IS on hesgoal.com - I'm watching it now and it's got English commentary too.

A question for people... Do people really enjoy these games?
I get its a big occasion etc and I enjoy getting here, but having been to the man utd game last season and Liverpool the year before, I've not really enjoyed either, and this isn't much better. May have beens a bit different if Harness scored I guess.
I enjoy the vast majority of league games much more.
Maybe it's just me.

I got talked into going to Wembley, didn't enjoy it, just something missing for me. I like the smaller stadiums intimate atmosphere of it all. Yes I know I should be there supporting the lads but that's how I feel.

Yep proud we got here, but this is the only time my peers take note of Burton... And they think we're just shite because they see us play the best teams in the world. Oh well. I guess football fans are different.
