Everywhere we go, everywhere we go etc etc. Seen today in a guest house window in Great Yarmouth.

Well, what a day/weekend that was! Cannot find the words to adequately describe the emotional ups & downs (THREE disallowed goals for instance!) of the day. Son, 2 granddaughters and their cousin...(a Forest convert!) and I parked in Watford (!!!) to get the tube to Wembley, having driven down from Newcastle, Nottingham and Buxton. Thrilling and nerve-shredding but ultimately glorious...'Simply the Best' (thanks Tina!).

Turned out ok in the end Lancs, at least we won't have playoffs next season!

Thanks Dawn and Wimbo - reckon Berry is first out of the blocks but could be a photo with Clark and Marvelous

[shatter2]

Marvelous appeared to be praying in the line up.A season of hard graft all down to one man in the end. Thanks Wimbo. I bet our next pen taker was experiencing squeaky bum time.

Regarding that slow motion video:

1. Given his reaction of pure, unadulterated relief, I reckon Fred must have been the next taker.
2. Even at that speed McNulty may have had to resort to a rugby tackle* to stop them!


* That McNulty 'Twickenham tackle' at Cheltenham still makes me smile.

along with the Sol Davis tackle?

[proudhattersince74]

Liz,

Sol's tackle quite clearly got the ball - Trevor Kettle just displayed rank poor judgment in brandishing the red card.

With regard to McNulty's tackle, the ball was in a different street by the time he decided to 'intercept' the Liverpool loanee who was about to leave him in a cloud of dust. TBH, I thought McNulty did quite well to even make the rugby tackle such was the lad's speed. How that wasn't more than a yellow card was another of life's imponderables.

That noted, must look back at who the referee was for that Cheltenham match to see if he is one of the many who have risen through the leagues at the same pace as us - quite a few Conference, L2 and L1 refs are still reffing us now ... or they were until we made the Premier League. It still feels unbelievable (but brilliant) to type "Premier League".
