I'm the first to moan at ticket prices etc, but fair play to all at the club for putting on the free coaches today.

They don't have to do it, but it's very much appreciated.

Thanks from me and my three.

I was born a couple of years after we last won the cup – I've seen us win everything else worth winning and I WILL see us win this effing cup too one day. It'll be worth the long wait.

Hope the guy who collapsed down by one of the coaches afterwards is ok and managed to home alright.



Another thing I was told and deserves praise is that Arsenal laid on a bus to get old/disabled supporters from the coaches to the road over the bridge where the coaches normally park.
That was a fantastic idea, it may have helped if the elderly new about it as a 72 year old I know really struggld with that walk.

Jimmy Rimmer was on there, and DOL's smug pig ugly face was to
