    ...I am not going anywhere near the internet until the match is well and truly over, including any potential extra time and or penalties.
    This is not because I don't care but because I am, frankly, bricking it. The fact I cannot watch it here makes it 1oo times worse trying to balance the- understandably- hyper optimistic/pessimistic BB posters' comments on how we are playing and the intermittent BBC 'live' text feed.
    That means, given we are one hour ahead of UK time, I will be miserable or celebrating no earlier than 7pm here! Going for a meal with a large group of people to a local popular restaurant where the owners are retiring after 40 years. If we win my old signed ORA premier shirt may be making an appearance which will raise a few comments from the Italian contingent:D

    I'll be sitting in an airplane over the Atlantic ocean for the next ten hours or so, so I'm going to miss the match too... I'm tempted to pay for the on-board wifi, perhaps I could then find some dodgy stream where I could watch the game, but I never get those to work on my phone.

    In any case, come on you Reds! :)

    I know exactly what you mean. I've ensured I'm in the house on my own. The family believe I'm spending the time hiding under the dining room table. Quite why I feel this way, after 57 years of supporting the club, I can't work out. Most of the family are at Wembley and I'm there in spirit. But I simply can't watch or listen.

    I deleted twitter and Facebook a few year ago. Mental health couldn't be any better mate.

    I just use this forum. That way then I can show my emotions with just reds fans

    Well I for one will be glad when it's all over. Been doing my head in all week. Nerves shot to pieces, not knowing which way to turn. Tbh I'm a mess!

    I've become the same as I get older. If I can't be at the game (and I don't go away) or see it live on tv I make every effort to blank the game out of my mind until I'm certain it's finished,
