You know the 'don't you know pump it up' song they played sometime after FT that we were singing along to, and now's a bit of a thing- does that have some history with us? I'd never heard it before (as far as I remember). 

Spent a few weeks singing it in 2004/05 but with Nicky Butt as the subject when it first came out.

It was the first song they played at full time that wasn’t some generic dance music :lol:

Every kids football tournament team who wins it sings it (used to get on me tits)

Must be a generic cup final winners song and we are the last to the party

still processing this 

 

we may well have better teams and win bigger trophies in the coming years, fingers crossed  

 

but whatever happens I think this team will go down as all-time favourites 

 

bringing home this trophy against all the odds with such a likable group of players and manager will take some beating

How fucking proud does this make you.  Everytime they raised the volume, we Booed louder.

Why was Wembley playing it over the tannoy in anyway?

Do others clubs get that treatment?

Did we get to run out to Local Hero with O Fortuna playing as they lined up in the tunnel?

 

I'm fairly sure local hero will have got an airing.

They indulged both fanbases pretty equally. We had the SJP stadium announcer ok the mic in front of the fans announcing the line up, a VT of build up purely for us and then local hero played full blast.

Ha, forgot about that BS rule change :D We get to benefit from it next season though to go back to back :saylor:

 

I think most people forgot about it because we won the trophy. People remember us beating the top 4, but not that they were all parachuted in to the latter stages with the most rigged draw ever.

Can't remember what but think we did get a song for us too just before or after YNWA. Think it was Local Hero then too.


Blaydon Races pre KO.

They will be at least semi-immortals.

 

Most of the players who won the Fairs Cup wouldn't make a list of 100 best players to have worn the shirt.  But supporters of my age can run off all of their names without hesitation, and have affectionate memories of each of  them, because of what they achieved together 55 years ago.

 

The heroes of the 2025 League Cup triumph -- all of them -- can expect the same.
