  Brilliant day at Wembley. Strange game, pitch seemed a bit dry?, but deserved win. Don't think we were anywhere near our best but we did enough. On a day when the likes of Grealish struggled, lesser lights like Elmo, Hourihane and El Ghazi were superb. McGinn was excellent in second half. We stopped playing for about 10 mins when cruising and Derby got back into it. Strange team selection from Lampard didn't help the Derby cause and they were very poor late rally aside.
  
  Huge job of work over the summer. Mings is a must buy but the club is far stronger now.
  
  Steer 7, Elmo 8, Tuanzebe 6, Mings 7, Taylor 5, Hourihane 7, McGinn 8, Grealish 6, El Ghazi 9, Abraham 6. Green 5, Hause 6.
  

  
  More or less with you, thought it was a toss up between El Ghazi and Elmo for MOM whilst McGinn was incredible second half. However, thought Hause was a TEN. Brilliant cameo, got his head  on the end of every cross and headers went a mile. Commanding stuff, if anything, was even better than Tyrone.

• I have had the privilege of sharing the day with 35 000 of you.  I am drinking champagne on my own in an empty house but I can still hear sounds of a truly wonderful day.  I cannot remember being kissed by so many people, old and young, Male and female.

• I've been on the wagon for a month. I'm having 8 hours off it, am well-blootered and don't know how the fuck I'll drag myself out of bed at 5:40am tomorrow.*

• Lost count of the number of villa scarves and flags we saw on the way back up the M40 - great day. Kind of felt it was going to be our day but exhausted from the tension especially at the end. My lad (8 in 2 days time) was wearing his McGinn strip and enjoyed the attention. Great crowd in block 533 down the front - also a shout out to anyone who was in The Coach and Horses in Ickenham pre match. UTV - never in doubt was it?

• Gutted I haven’t been able to see any of our games in the flesh this season due to work commitments and financial restraints but at work today I felt like many others did that we are back where we belong. And dust got in my eyes. I and am currently still in state of disbelief as we have been humbled and humiliated over the last 10 years but there is something about this year that feels like justice has been done. I’m on the beer and feeling euphoric and immensely proud and can’t wait to get back down villa park when I can. And spurs can fuck off. Super jack is one of our own! Now, more beer!

  And here's me regretting the awful drive home. What happened?
  
  I thought the M6 was the worst motorway, but the southern half of the M1 is something else.

  We always knew Derby were going to throw everything at us, and those last 15 mins were heart in mouth, but makes the win sweeter.
  
  Right, excuse me while I restart my ticker 
  

  Not sure if you were at Wembley but I didn’t worry that much. They were well looked after.
