Just got in.
What a brilliant day.
Big thanks to Wealdstone FC for their usual hospitality and organisation.
Today feels like one of those landmark moments.
We came through a series of adversities and did not let them knock us out of our stride.
We look bomb proof.
The world is finally realising what we’ve known for a long time.
This is a special special team.
These are history makers.

Wealdstone were amazing today. Great club with great people. Build them a stand Khaldoon.
 
Just watched the highlights on BBC, unsurprisingly I was a lot more relaxed this time!

United fans saying Degea should have saved the second one.... but watching it again, I don't think so. The fact he never moved for the first was worse, but 14 seconds in he was probably as surprised as us all....
 
It’s getting a bit old and battered now but here’s my Zippo.

Had this through thin and thinner. As I was working it was next to me on my desk whilst following online.

The handball, bent as fuck.

So we go again, always brilliant to put one over the scum especially in a Final.

Off to get pissed now…

His positioning was pretty poor for the second I thought, left himself with too much to do.

He sees it late but maybe he doesn't see it late if he isn't standing flat footed on the line

Long day! Out at 6.45 and back at 11.15!

Loved the connection between the fans, the players and Pep after the game. It was magical.

The other quality moment was seeing the rag players on the pitch watching us get the trophy whilst all bar maybe 500 of their fans had left and they got a rousing rendition of “You’re fucking shit, you’re fucking shit etc etc etc. absolutely glorious!

What a brilliant day ! Loved the baiting of them as they collected their medals.
Still on the coach making our way up the M6 back to Cumbria. Looks like by the time I get to bed it'll have been a 24 hour stint. Knackered but deliriously happy :-)

Rag supporters were shite today. Small time. Our coach went past the Torch on the way in today and they were all sat quietly until they saw us, queue the v signs and lame attempts lobbing plastic glasses at us. Compare that with the semifinal when we were there, everyone singing City songs and the place bouncing.

They’re done for. Broken.

Not only is Manchester blue, Wembley is too.

It’s not called Etihad South for nothing.

Oh, I meant to mention that the commentators on the ESPN official broadcast here in the US were actually commenting on our fans doing the poznan as we were kicking off, saying how it seemed a bit early to be doing that and perhaps we were overconfident.

Almost exactly 30 seconds later we went 1-nil up with the fastest goal in FA Cup final history.

Hopefully someone makes a short video showcasing that ironic hilarity.

It was done as a f**k you gesture, not a celebration

It was epic

I’d love to see this if anyone finds a clip

He made one (only one) pass today to Bernardo, that shows that he is still a central defender, and that is not a critisism, he's been fabulous this season.

The pass was a superb idea poorly executed - to be fair KDB had several this afternoon

Saw it from the ‘behind Gundo cam’ (if this isn’t a thing, it should be) and thought he was going unsighted due to the enormity of legs and bodies in the way.
Such is life, and the consequence of your tactics…suck it up guys.
 
I’m still a little bit concerned that some of our players didn’t get a medal, including Gundog! I just hope that the FA or whoever sorts it out quickly. I’m sure I’ve never seen that before, them running out of medals for goodness sake!!

Yes minor detail in the run of things but our boys deserve their medals!! If there hadn’t been enough if that other lot had won there’d have been a fuss.

I worry!! It’s in my nature. Get those lads looked after someone. :-) ;-)

Just watched the full game again. Totally dominant. Utd outclassed and we weren’t at our best. John Stones and Gundo excellent. Akanji and Ortega very good. Berni and Jack very quiet. How the hell did Fred not get that 2nd yellow. Weak ref.
