I dont give a monkeys how high or low they are ranked we need to treat them seriously. They may be bottom of Skrill South but they are no mugs and have some seasoned players in their squad. There's no reason to think that, on their day, they couldnt give us a real fight. So I say we treat them with a bit of respect but still aim to play our own game. And they have got as far as we have in the trophy, beware!

They haven't got a messageboard so they must be pretty tinpot. I hope their collection of postmen, painters and factory workers that they call a team don't injury too many of our players. Wouldn't want anyone to miss Miller lifting the Trophy.

[apart from Boro that is] Thanks to those who pointed out teams that are lower in the pyramid. I myself forgot about Needham Market this very season What I meant to ask really was are Gosport the weakest team we have ever played at Wembley in a national final? In any case, the U's will hopelessly outclass this lot and it will be 3-0, I would say, and possibly more. This is a similar proposition to a Chelsea v Yeovil final, looking at the tables. To be five points adrift at the bottom of the Conference South shows a real lack of class, and these no-hopers will be put away by the Mighty U's. Now please flame away, pessimists!

I'm in Australia and BT Sport games are televised on Setanta over here. Is the Final being shown on TV in the UK? If so, does anyone know what channel? Thanks.

A village team once put 5 past us . There is no room for complacency over this game . It could if approached wrongly be an extremely embarrassing result in our history. I expect Gospirt will line up defensively and aim to hit us on the break .

Gosport will be looking at playing C. U. and thinking "This is our cup Final" That will get them geared up and raring to go. Complacency on our part could be the the end of a good run for the mighty U's. At the end of the day it is 11 against 11 and in our case, we will be playing against the referee as well. Any 50/50 decisions will go to Gosport by virtue of the sympathy vote by the officials.

In addition to Tim Sills, they also have Sammy Igoe, veteran midfielder who played over 500 league games for the likes of Portsmouth, Reading, Swindon and Bournemouth. Also Adam Wilde, who started his career with us and also played for City. No one else in their squad stands out though!

How much longer have we got to wait for information?
The sooner we hear about how the 'firms' are going to be organised, with regard to scarfers and such-like, the better.
Also, absolutely nothing on oily wanks yet FFS.
My life is on hold at the moment.

I'm buying 10 tickets, all are day trippers, I hope we are surprised by the turnout. My mates/family all think this is a bigger deal than I had been making out (going to Wembley for a non league trophy final) and are jumping on the bandwagon!

Tickets on sale at 11am today from FA. www.wembleystadium.com/Events/2014/FA-Trophy/Final-2014As instructed I will wait and buy from the club. I will be bringing two extra, my wife and daughter. Both have been to U's matches before but are not regulars. If everyone can bring one or two extras we can soon boost our numbers. But get them to practice their singing first, we gain nothing if they are silent.
