    While I know a day out at Wembley to see us play in a cup semi final is great, but is the fact that we are playing there detracting from the fact that it is a semi final and not a final - or do the club see it as our final? Will this take away some of the hunger to win?

    I was tempted to say only a semi, but that only is a massive achievement and one non of us thought we'd probably see. However, if we were playing at Villa Park or Old Trafford would we be bringing out a commerative kit? Would the players be fitted for suits?

    If we reach the final will it seem any different to the semi? Are any other teams bringing out different kits etc?

    The approach is somewhat different to Dave Jones who, after Cardiff's win at Boro, said they'd be no champagne on the way home as the players hadn't got into the final yet, let alone won anything.

    I would have preferred Villa Park or Old Trafford personally.... I reckon the first option would have been the most feasible with regards equal distance? Having said that, i'm buzzing at the moment, and can't wait for the sodding weekend to get here!

    COME ON TARN!

    We haven't done anything more yet than Chesterfield in 1997 and they took Middlesborough, was it to a replay.

    That's right..... 3-3 on the day, If memory serves me right Chesterfield had a goal disallowed which was, indeed, a goal. Blimey! Talk about Cup fever............. it's just starting to sink in big time. Two days of work to get rid of ..... mmmmmm.... pass another bottle of brandy :D (pint)

    But Cardiff beat Wolves and Boro, not Liverpool and Chelsea! Big difference, in my opinion.
