From the mail on Sunday.....

"Not so much a Lancashire hot pot but a bubbling cauldren of hate, into which eye of newt, toe of frog and Robbie Savage have been thrown without the slightest concern for public health and safety"

[Gav]

Slept like a baby.

Been up since 8am and must admit that i'm really nervous, the butterflies are like the ones i used to get and not had them for 10yrs+.

Going to the pub now.

Come on Rovers!

[philipl]

That's a great line in the Mail on Sunday.

Enjoy it everybody!

Want to wish everyone a safe day - enjoy yourselves but if you see anyone playing "Dualing banjos" - RUN FOR YOUR LIVES

[Ozz]

Haven`t had a dream in along time,

See the luck I`ve had

Would make a good man, bad

So for once in my life

Let me

Get what I want

Lord knows it would be the first time

Lord knows it would be the first time.

[longsiders1882]

Ok guys, all joking apart now I hope you all have a safe day and enjoy everything apart from the result.

I am so nervous now it is not funny - I'm actually about to help the wife with some housework to try and take my mind off it.

Still hoping I'll see that counter reset to 0 years months and days.

Come on you Clarets

[Ricky]

I have been awake since 6.30 and I'm only watchin it on the box. just decorating the living room with all things rovers. Wiring up the surround speakers to add a little something to the atmosphere.

Hope all Rovers fans going have a safe and succesful day.

[bellamy11]

Well I'm up. Clare's making a bru and Turf Moor is almost touching distance away. I'm getting unbelievably nervous. Need to set a tape and try and force some brekky down.

Good luck everyone. See you there.

[ABBEY]

LONGSIDER NO MATTER WHAT ...THE CLOCK WONT BE REST!!!ITS FOR THE LEAGUE!!

[Flopsy]

Wiring up the surround speakers to add a little something to the atmosphere.

what like sound

got to go out this morning - might well go to church for a quick pray too

[Paul]

Longsider - today is for football fans. Both sets of supporters can show the country what real passion, in a real derby is all about. Have a great day....but not TOO great.

Come on you Blues

[ah]

Just passed through Ewood, coaches starting to line up on Bolton Rd. Wifes made me a bacon sarnie struggling to get it down me neck. Brother in law just rung is on his way. Have not felt like this for ages. Dont even want a can.

GET INTO EM.

[orcan]

ok, got the game live on turkish tv!!!

despite gencler has a huge home game, i'll be staying at home to watch burnley vs blackburn.

hope the best for all. i wish everyone who goes to the dingledome a safe and happy journey.

once a rover, always a rover!

[RoyRover]

I'm up bright and early, getting ready for the big game. In fact I'm planning to go to 12 o'clock Mass, to have a word with the Big Man, to make sure that he is on our side today. God, I wish I were going to this one. The commentators of the United v Everton match last night were getting really excited with the prospect of this game and what a real derby and FA Cup match this is going to be. I really hope that it lives up to its potential. Enjoy yourselves and make one hell of a noise!

[Tom Pringle]

Well, who would have thought that i'd be feeling like i am today! Was going to do house work this morning to try and calm the nerves but instead i'm going for a long walk with the dog and girlfriend. Once the match is over i'm going to packup and head back to Cranwell

Lets hope i'm listening to five live with a smile on my face!

[bb3]

Don't think I've felt this nervous about a game for about twenty years,reading the posts on here is making me worse,not going to the game,could have gone in the Longside with a Burnley mate but no thanks,don't know what would be the hardest,sitting on my hands when we score or having to celebrate when they do.

Don't give a toss about the league,not even thinking about gettin to Cardiff,this is the East Lancashire cup final,the most important game in the world.

To both sets of fans that are going,have a good day and sing your hearts out for your team.

Good look to both teams,but a bit more to the Rovers.

COME ON YOU BLUES

[Rovermatt]

In the story about the game in today's Observer, the sports editor of the Burnley Express (appropriate name) claims that we have adopted United as our local rivals: "as if anyone in Manchester gives a toss about Blackburn." What a [edited].

I hope we give them a hammering.
