Thanks for this week's effort Wilf. What a weekend we all had and what a feeling to know that we've done it at last. Great to see you yesterday morning and to find out that I'm not the only one who can't stop crying tears of joy. Having read the diary and recalled all those precious moments I've just shed some more tears, but I don't care because the memories are so precious. My dad and grandad were both huge FC fans but never got the chance to enjoy what we have just savoured and at 74 I thought that was likely to happen to me but it didn't and I can go and meet my maker happy in the knowledge that it finally happened. Lets now put the icing on the cake and win at Old Trafford. COME ON YOU ULL!!!!!!

Thanks for this edition Wilf, you've put into words what so many of us have been feeling, cannot begin to describe the emotions on hearing the final whistle - we've won the cup before but we have the dobbins to thank for making where it's won important. It's just a pitch innit. We've just been present at the laying of the foundations of a dynasty with someone (Lenny) who a lot of fans didn't want at the club how does he compare with Darryl Powell now.

So so so so happy - like you. I must say that, sitting in the crowd at Wembley, I thoroughly enjoyed the last six seconds, but the rest was agony. When Watts dragged himself to his feet with one last huge effort to make the final tackle, followed by Mini dropping on the ball, I could finally celebrate (by breathing).

Great summary of a very emotional weekend, well done, in putting into words, what I still can't. I spent the last 4 minutes hunched up in my seat, when I heard the crowd cheer, I leapt up to see Danny's tackle on the big screen and 30 seconds to go, I was petrified, Hewer would give a ball steal/knock on. Then just went looney, nearly pulled my wifes head off. I was lucky enough to have 2 of my brothers with me, proper family hoodoo smasher that one.
