With the very real possibility we will become European Champions and treble winners on Saturday,the chat has somewhat lost touch with the fact that we have just completed the Double,a feat few clubs could ever imagine doing......and yet we have managed this incredible achievement twice in the past 5 years.
So....if the worst happens on Saturday night.....lets not underestimate what an amazing season this will have been regardless - one the Dippers,Arsenal,Chelsea and those rag cunts can only dream of!
Exactly.
When I was growing up and learning my football as a kid, 'The Double' was this almost mythical thing that had only ever existed in some far, far distant past, only won by teams present at the birth of the English league.
Many teams had tried and failed to win the First Division and the FA Cup in the same season, including ours in 1904. Yes, 1904.. to a kid from Hulme in post-war Manchester it might as well have been pre-Dark Ages when the impossible had last been done, with superhuman effort of Arthurian powers required to do so.
Then that marvellous Tottenham side did it in 1961. And one or two others since. But it still required prodigious efforts to get to the ultimate, Holy Grail of our game, 'The Double'..
And blow me down, on Saturday at Wembley, I saw us do it. For the second time in five years. And all with the added distraction of a demanding World Cup tournament mid-season, which pulled almost every member of our squad away from the task in hand.
Drink it in and enjoy it. The greatest football, the greatest squad, the greatest coach in English football history. Ever.
It doesn't matter what happens on Saturday, although all us Blues want a third trophy. This is the greatest football of our lifetime.
