K.O. 5pm.

(I'm no Jackharris when it comes to a build-up thread :lol: )

Can we reach the World Cup finals for the first time since 1958?

It would have to be Ukraine we are playing.
All the emotion involved attached to them.

If we win it'll be an achievement and a half.

I’d rather play Ukraine than Scotland, just imagine losing to them again with a very suspect goal. A bit of a win-win situation today, win and we’re in the finals, lose and everyone else in the world would be happy for Ukraine, so come on Wales make those Scots hate us even more.

A minority country oppressed by an evil and vicious neighbour throughout history is bad enough, without lumping Ukraine on top.

I can't see us winning anyway, as I've been here too many times. We've had much better teams and lost to much worse ones at the death, so I shall maintain my sense of foreboding for this one. As you say though, at least we won't have cavorting Jocks in skirts again. That really would be unbearable.

The ghost of Ivor Allchurch will come and haunt you tonight you pessimist!

Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me.

Obviously I want to win tonight but if I had to lose to a country tonight, Ukraine would be the one to choose.

Let's hope we tonk them.

We've always c*cked it up, even during my lifetime.. I've got this feeling Bale is going to get injured early on and lose by a controversial 1-0 defeat

 

[Swanjaxs]

Are Wales playing tonight? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Better than the ghost of James fucking McLean

Pep's view on tonight's referee ...

"Mateu Lahoz is a special guy, he likes to be different, he likes to be special. He's a referee who likes to feel different, he's special. When everybody sees things he is going to see the opposite."

Champs League ref, loves a card, very controversial

It's going to be a tough game but you'd expect a playoff final to reach a world Cup to be tough. If we have to lose though, I hope we've done our absolute best but lost to the better side. Anything else will be much harder to take. I'm already nervous. I wonder how many Planetswans regulars were alive in 1958? I was 6 and have very little recollection of it tbh.

BTW, I had a dream a few days ago that Brennan Johnson comes on for the last 15 and scores the winner

 

[JackSomething]

No offense to Ukraine, but I want Wales to do to them what we did to Bradford in the League Cup final. Every football fan in the country who wasn't a Swans fan would have wanted Bradford to win that day and we were just ruthless.

Ukraine are clearly better than Bradford were, but we need a similar attitude from the Welsh players today.

That anthem sung with no music... WOW
