I’ve waited 49 years to be at Wembley to witness City win the FA Cup, and fucking Hell, it was worth it.
After Eddie's great save at 0-0, and Merlin’s lovely opener, there was only ever going to be one winner. I’m so delighted that he scored today, not only because of his standing within the club and football in this country, but it also meant that we have seven players with at least ten goals this season. The goals were all excellent, but I thought Raheem’s first was the pick of them.
Watford supporters were brilliant and so was the the response from us, when they were waving their flags en masses at four or five nil. We spoke to some of them at Wembley Stadium station, and they seemed genuinely touched that we complimented them on their support for their team.
A fantastic end to a fantastic season. Who’d‘ve thought 20 years ago? Or even 12 years ago?
