Watched at home with my daughter’s BF. He’s 19 and so has never known a trophy win. Had tears in his eyes.
The match was a horrible watch. I’d forgotten what it was like to be nervous watching a game of football. Seeing the boy so happy at the end reminded me why we all started watching football.
Thank you
I’d be more concerned whether the piss is in the two bottles!Update on the reaction of my man utd loving line manager.
Fair play - she brought me a couple of bottles of decent looking ale. Did say it was a once in a lifetime event so don't expect it from her again, mind.
(If she thought buying me beer was going to stop me from taking the absolute piss...she was very very wrong)
Woah...woahhh....let's not be offering any new contracts or anything silly until we've got off the drink lads....GLORY GLORY TOTTENHAM, I FUCKING LOVE THIS CLUB. I FUCKING LOVE THIS MANAGER.
All the pain, all the heartache. It had to come this way. The Game is about Glory, he dared and we've fucking done it.
Nah. He'll now be mostly remembered positively but there's no room for sentiment. He's clearly not cut out for the Prem.It's still sinking in. I was in short trousers the last time we won something. I wasn't a child, it was just the style at the time!
Us winning a european trophy while finishing one place above a relegation spot in the league is just the sort of perfect Roy of the Rovers-style storyline any comedy fan should be able to enjoy.
Hope we give Ange another season now, despite what I said earlier. Repeatedly and at length. While using extremely industrial and potentially actionable anti-antipodean language.
It was the absolute certainty that if we conceded we would go on to lose that made it so bad for me last night.Genuinely the worst game I’ve ever sat through. I’ve never felt so nervous in my life.
With the CL final, we knew it was over in the first half, so the nerves didn’t last as long![]()
Still recovering from nervous exhaustion I would imagine?Has Mrs P shared last night's experience yet? If so can someone point me to where please. Must have been unbelievable as well as deeply emotional.

Alex Crook doesn’t look so cocky now does he?!
His facial expression is what my Gran would have referred to as ‘shiten’!
