Semi or the Final...

Final defo, I waited 33 years of my life for this. But the semi was also quality.

Semi.
A Few of my mates are red cunts and to be fair to them they try and do most away games. I have been given the usual shit from most of them, 35 years, your shit etc etc. On that day, i bumped into them at the tube station. They knew what was coming. I walked past them with a very smug grin on me and said 'now then boys? what times your train home?'.
I thought, yep, thats me complete, 16 years of being laughed at because I went watching us at stoke/arsenal/southampton etc midweek and got absolutley hammered whilst they were in the champions league playing real madrid.
A massive slice of humble pie.
Im 17 by the way...

The Semi for me was better in the sense of that euphoria that we'd actually got to a major final and beat them on our way, the Final was more emotional in the fact we've waited so long and now we've finally seen our club lift some silverware. It was harder to take in on the day & it's still kind of still sinking in now nearly a month and a half later.

I've never felt as much relieve as I did after Yaya scored in the final at a City match though, the game was approaching the last 10 minutes and Stoke were getting more confident by the minute, it had them nicking it with a set-piece written all over it and the underdogs prevailing. Thankfully Yaya popped up just in time and his goal killed them, you could see there players were emotionally finished after it went in and there was no way there were equalizing, even if the game had gone on another 100 minutes.

Overall the Final takes it due to the occasion and seeing us lift that trophy, immense.

Semi.. first derby at wembley, first appearance at the new wembley, and we were written off before kick off by everyone. A day I'll never forget.

20-18 for the semi.
Goes to show (what i think too),that beating those bastards is just as important than winning a trophy,after 35 years of waiting.
Personally,i'll call it a draw.
Cos,both games meant so much to us,if we had beaten Chelsea or Arsenal,whoever,in the semi,it wouldn't have meant so much eh.
Here's to more threads like this 1.

The Final, being there seeing so many happy jubilant faces will live with me forever. The scum match was pure torture and I didn't enjoy at all apart from the goal and the final whistle.

The final. We can beat united any old season in the league, but we won't get a high profile trophy because of it. It sounds like to some, beating united meant more than winning the cup itself and I can't agree with that. When that Yaya goal went in against Stoke it meant a million times more than the one v United, because it meant we were on the verge of ending 35 years without a trophy, in a final watched world wide by billions of people. The United match was history at that point.
What we need now is to play United in a final itself, or even better, go to OT this coming season needing a win to secure the league. Now that would mean more than both the semi and FA cup final wins put together!

The other thing is if we hadn't won the final, the semi would have been awesome, but lacked abit of meaning aswell. Thank fark we did both! Some of the best times being a city supporter!

The semi for me, as we couldn't get tickets for the final.

We sat at home and watched all the build-up, first ESPN's on the 'puter via a link, then ITV's.


However, if we had managed to get tickets for the final, it may have been different.
