So here we are after nearly two weeks of carnage for once not caused by us, we are on the eve of our biggest game in ten years knowing that one goal takes us to the Premier League.
We've had highs and lows this campaign and no side ever that started the season under a transfer embargo has ever made the play off final. Who thought on the opening day at Coventry that we would be walking out at Wembley Stadium in the Sky Bet Championship Play-Off Final.
Sergej Jakirović’s charges have had plenty of time to prepare for the big day since that night at The Den last week and although now they’ll have to alter their training plans now they are playing Middlesbrough not Southampton they’ll be ready come half past three on Saturday afternoon in the sunshine in North London.
The drama that has ensued since last weeks semi finals has been quite frankly shocking and gladfully the independent commission came to the right result and the Saints were removed from the final. We will now face old foes Middlesbrough at Wembley hoping to match our victory at the Riverside in December and not match the home defeat earlier in the month.
City have never lost a game in ninety minutes at the home of football, the only game they haven’t won was the FA Cup Final in 2014 losing in extra time and lets hope our great record continues against our Teesside neighbours.
They say Wembley Stadium is "Where legends are made" and let’s hope there is another City Legend come full time on Saturday following in the steps of Dean Windass and Mohammed Diame in scoring a winning goal in the final and sealing another promotion to the topflight.
I think we will line up as Pandur, Coyle, Ajayi, Hughes, Egan, Giles, Slater, Crooks, Belloumi, Millar, McBurnie and we win the game 2-1.
Lets hope come the final whistle we can be thinking of days out at Anfield, Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge, The Emirates, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, St James' Park and the like next season oh and remember DARE TO DREAM!!
