    Was listening to the HA'WAY the lads podcast today with Lee Howey and although I've seen it before and it's registered, I've never thought about it much. But he mentioned when Roberts had the ball before Moore played that pass to Watson, Roberts had 3 men around him which meant when Watson got the ball, the centre mid was out of position to stop him. Roberts must've had them scared ****less especially after that ball to Mayenda

    Well he can't be blamed for being circumspect coming into a tackle with Hume mind! I'd want a suit of armour on

    Watched a load of YouTube vlogs and the extended highlights again yesterday. Over 40yrs of supporting the lads and that win will take some beating as the best experience in that time and I can’t stop watching it. The fact I was at Wembley with my Dad, brother and my son just made it even better. Ha’way the Lads

    I watched the last 20mins and the celebrations again this morning. At this moment, I think I've not seen it on most mornings since that memorable day. Lovely to go to work with a smile on your face!

    I just noticed the handball when I watched the highlights again yesterday. Would definitely have been disallowed if Patto never saved it.

    Old ground now thankfully! But I think he wanted to head it back to Patto, got the trajectory of the ball wrong, then still thought about it and forgot there'd be a lump coming up behind him.

    All part of the day though. It was the final blast of breath from them. They went down like a pricked balloon after that.

    From the ball leaving his foot, it seem to take an age to hit the back of the net.
    Was like watching in slow motion.

    The angle from behind the goal really shows how accurate the placement was. A few inches either way and it either hits the post or the keeper saves it.
    Perfect.

    Both goals had exactly that about them. Roberts’ pass to Mayenda couldn’t go anywhere else, and, as you say about Tommy’s shot.

    I was Enzo Le Fee in that moment. Just collapsed.

    I was walking along the deck of the cruise ship when I got this message. This was the moment I got. I didn’t see the goal or a score update. Just a WhatsApp from the club saying Tommmyyyyy Watsoooon!!!!

    I will never ever forget that moment. I just froze then went down on my haunches.

    Bloody hell, got goosebumps reading that.
    I can just picture that exact moment you got that Tommy Watson message.
    Priceless.
