I´m 56 and went to my first match aged 7 with my Granda, who died the following year.  Always enjoyed the crack  and the collective almost gallow humour at times.  Just  genuinely did not expect to win anything in my lifetime - I thought  good things never happen to us.  Right now, I haven´t really got words.  Just can't stop smiling.  Honestly I am laughing as I´m typing this.

 

Same, albeit I'm six years younger. First game in 81. Dad has dementia and was watching at home with my (middle) brother - I'm the youngest. My dad was fifteen when we won the cup in 55 and this was his last chance to actually understand what's going on and appreciate we've won something.

 

My older brother is your age, played for NUFC reserves and youths in the 80s, and was in tears in a pub in New York when the final whistle went.

 

It just means so much to everyone.

Still can't understand why Mac Allister was on marking Dan Burn

Zonal marking - they weren't expecting Dan to be able to score from there :trippier:

Has anyone seen Hall? Or is he recovering from his surgery?

I bumped into an elderly couple on the way to the game who were friends with the Hall family as they live in the same village.  They said he is recovering from surgery - had his leg up.  Really lovely couple - they showed me pictures of them with him, they had framed his England Shirt/Cap.  They were super excited as he had given them tickets to the final. 🙂

Ended up leaving the utilita fan zone due to a 90 minute wait for a pint, usually a placid bloke watched it in a gay bar next to the arena which was class coverage and good atmosphere but spent the the last few minutes of the game screaming in everyone's face about how great we are, wouldn't change a thing.

He won EVERY header at a set piece.  It was shocking defending from Liverpool thankfully.

Mixed emotions for me tonight, my dad passed away far too soon last year and was a massive fan. Would have meant the world to see us win tonight. 

 

Enjoy everyone, what a fucking rollercoaster.
