It's a very big game for us for many reasons. Local pride is at stake.

He motivated all of us, he said we have nothing to lose, just go out and enjoy it.

We covered so much ground on Thursday night that it took us half and hour. I'm not trying to look for excuses but that's the reality.

I think before the game if you'd said 1-0 we would have taken it. It could have been better, but we've got a feeling of how they are and we've been in much more difficult positions. You can't say it's going to be easy -- but we're very confident.

We are not mentally tired, although physically we might be a bit. This will be our Cup final, not our semi-final. It is that big and important for us.

Though pride is not a virtue, it is the parent of many virtues.
