I'm really looking forward to this. How many matches have we played since the 1995 FA Cup Final where you knew the future of the club basically depended on the outcome? Off the top of my head, Coventry in 1998, Manchester United in 2005, Villarreal in 2005....
After years of mediocrity and drifting along on the road to nowhere, at least tonight will get the blood pumping and the adrenaline flowing. I'm all set: a lovely vintage 1998 bottle of Chateau Domestos is already on ice ready for the evening.
