Watching it back again and the holding of the ball in the corner during the closing stages by Wilson, Willock, Sandro, Joelinton and others was a fantastic demonstration of a lost art that Shearer will have been proud as punch of. Absolutely class.

 

Met up with a good mate of mine after who's a Liverpool fan.  He said we did a really good job of seeing it out at the end in the corner and was almost laughing in the pub.  As some of their fans were complaining about it as a tactic  ignoring the fact every team in the world would try the same.

Haha, just seen this flag posted up elsewhere 

[Holloway]

Have seen a sizeable amount of fair and gracious comments from Liverpool fans, as for the Leeds mob, fuck em and their cuntishness.

Is the full match available to watch anywhere on demand? Can only find highlights and forgot to record it. 

The Club have just put it on the official site.

At the end of the day to some it is only the league cup. But for us, it’s whatever we want it to be. This is a club that has had failure ingrained in its dna in the modern era. People cannot understand what it’s like to have this type of success. It’s ours not theirs. 

There's only really Man City and (to a far lesser extent) Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal & Man Utd that it's "only the League Cup". Any other club in the league it's absolutely massive and their fans are talking absolute shite.

TBH I thought it would feel like a second class trophy even if we won it. But I was a massive fool. 
 

Probably beating all the good teams helped as well

Honestly why are people so bothered about what other fans think?  I genuinely don't get it, fucking enjoy it man.

Did anyone capture our fans singing seventeen going under to the players?  Or seen a vid of it.  Was fucking class with the Ohhhh a wooooaah oh oaaah.

Only downside for me is that we won it very, very comfortably. I don't want to be picky but I really wish we could have had one massively controversial decision go our way just to get them lot absolutely outright seething and crying for injustice and making petitions to ban the ref from officiating them ever again.

 

That's all I ask, nothing much.

The opposite for me, I would’ve hated anyone to have a reason to downplay the win. Dominating and beating them well was perfect.

It was 99.76% a tongue in cheek post fyi.

I would’ve took this pre match but now we’ve won comfortably I’m delighted. People having to trot out the Saudi stuff for the first time in ages or refer to the tournement as Micky mouse to discredit us, as there’s nothing else. We beat the 4 best performing teams in the country fairly and squarely.

Fair play.

 

Thought someone else was as petulant as me for a minute.

 Don't get me wrong there's nothing sweeter than comfortably outplaying those Scouse bastards at Wembley, but there is a tiny, tiny little bit of me that just wishes they had something to cry victim about. I hate them.

They are quite good at that most of the time anyway.

Haven’t posted since the game… wanted to collect my thoughts into something relatively coherent.

 

I was there with my 10 year-old lad and a couple of friends, and my wife and 7 year-old daughter had tickets with their friends a few blocks across.

 

All week leading up to the game I had pretty much no confidence. All I wanted to see was commitment, and win or lose, to have no regrets. But I only gave us maybe a 10% chance. So I was relatively emotionless.

 

Add into that, a bunch of my Liverpool supporting mates were saying how little the League Cup meant to them, and couldn’t quite grasp why it would mean much to me / NUFC fans, which had a dampening effect on the build up.
 

But walking into the ground, taking in the atmosphere as it built, something changed. Watching our fans rise to the occasion pre-match… and then watching the first 10 minutes unfold… I turned to one of my mates and said “we’re going to do this”. It just felt like the players were never going to allow Liverpool to win.

 

And after that… it was just a stream of incredible memories made between me and my lad and friends, and wife and daughter.

 

Dan Burn 1-0… the crowd went absolutely wild, I looked down at my boy and he was crying full blown tears of joy… I picked him up, hugged him with all my heart, and from that point onwards I was an emotional wreck.

 

I was getting texts from my little girl a few blocks along, beaming with joy.

 

Isak 2-0… Tears, singing, hugging strangers, more exited 7-year old texts…

 

2-1… absolutely shitting it… and then…

 

The final whistle… I didn’t hear it… I just saw players, wearing our shirts, do “that” run… the run I’ve never seen our players do before… the “winners” run…

 

Me and my lad and mates burst into tears, grabbed each other and clinged on as the stadium erupted… catching only tiny glimpses of the scenes on the pitch. In that moment, my 40 years of hurt vanished, and all that was left was pure joy… pure pride… pure love… 

 

… And a lifetime of memories with my kids, wife and friends.

 

That’s what it meant!

 

 

 

 

Wonderful stuff, just wonderful.

 

Tears in my eyes reading this (honestly)

I’m so chuffed for you all who got to experience this moment.

Having seen (attending three of the finals in person) us lose all the other finals I was not confident at all.

I was too nervous and apprehensive to watch it, so I did a likely lads until the final minute when I was told to safely put it on the tv.

(superstition made me think I would jinx us again if I watched) daft I know.

 

Out the country on the 29th but I will be there with everyone in spirit and I know now I will see this again!

This is a new beginning for us all!

😀😁

Mrs G is up, after having a kip after doing a nightshift looking after her Mam, and we're watching the full match. 

She was watching some documentary thing about Mcallister a while ago, for context. 

 

Camera pans in on him before kick off and she goes

"it's an interesting back story about Mcallister. I like things like that. Him and his brothers overcoming adversity..." 

 

"yah letting facts get in the way of hatred there, mind. He's a snide little rat with the shittest side parting in living history. In fact his mother should be dragged into the street for combing it that way all his natch" 

 

I sometimes wonder why we're together 😂

 

 

[duo]

Still feels like a dream 

[Jinky]

I'm welling up again.....

[thomas]

Anyone else have the long running fantasy of hitting the lotto, investing wisely and turning it to billions, then buying the club and finally winning a trophy?

 

I'm glad that weight is off my shoulders now

First vid I've seen of the singalongs. Must be others knocking about online by now? Hopefully there's one of Coming Home Newcastle as well. 

 

I'm grateful for every snippet of media, I truly am, but what the fuck is going on where they've taken a landscape video and then put massive top and bottom borders around it which add absolutely nothing at all to make it a portrait video? Then here's me watching THAT on a desktop in landscape so I get this....

 

 

I truly despair at times.  

 

That in proper landscape would have been lush, instead I'm looking at a fucking stamp in the middle of my screen.

Just an Instagram thing, so hopefully the original landscape video is uploaded to YouTube!
