Former Walsall Football Club player and manager Paul Merson was the special guest at the town's Yates's Bar in Leicester Street on Monday afternoon, as he took part in a Q & A session ahead of the Saddlers' Johnstone's Paint Trophy Final clash with Bristol City, which takes place at Wembley Stadium, on Sunday afternoon.
Speaking about the upcoming Final, Paul said; "For clubs in League One and League Two the St Johnstone's Paint Trophy is their own FA Cup.
"No disrespect but teams from them leagues are not going to win the FA Cup so this is as close as it gets for them.
"It's going to be a tough game for both sides and I cannot call it. Whoever copes with the pressure the best will be the winner on the day.
"Walsall are coming up against a very good team in Bristol City who are the best team in the league but Walsall are a good side as well.
"My mate (Karl Robinson) is the manager of MK Dons and he said the best team to come and play there this season were Walsall after they beat them 3-0.
"I've played at Wembley a number of times and it is all about mental toughness. Players from both teams will go there and be absolutely petrified on the Saturday night trying to get to sleep.
"They will get up on Sunday arrive at the stadium make their first run and won't be able to think straight - hoping the worst case scenario does not happen.
"Whoever copes with that pressure best will win because I don't think there is an awful lot between the teams."
