Unbelievable 48 hours. Green Man was great before the game - just a brilliant atmosphere with thousands of like minded people who were determined to make the most of the day regardless. The march to the stadium (I didn't plan on going, more accidentally walked behind them) was amazing - never seen a bigger sea of blue and white, flares, flags, just everything added to it. The match itself was similar to the League 1 final - we probably edged it over the 120 minutes but it became a match between 2 teams afraid to lose. The penalties again were awful to watch, if anyone didn't deserve to be the villain it was Hef so I'm delighted the rest of the lads dug him out of that hole. Everything was a bit of a blur from the second Schindler stepped up, pure pandemonium, euphoria, god knows what you call it but I've never felt emotion like it. Half collapsed, burst into tears and grabbed anyone who was around me as hard as I could. Blagged our way into the rooftop bar in the Hilton after the game so spent the next few hours drinking champagne from the bottle overlooking Wembley, then after that I've no real recollection of anything between the hours of 10 and 3. The amount of people who packed into the square yesterday, and the passion shown by everyone on that stage, made yesterday just as special - Wagner taking the mic and continuously singing Town songs shows just how much he's taken the club to his heart.
I can't wait for next season to start. Really hope we have a nice kit, arrange a good pre-season tour of Germany, and bring back as many of the loanees as possible.
