27 years. It was embarrassing, and now it’s finally over. Last time was by the same score, and the beginning of a season that saw a top four finish and a trophy. The first of those is unlikely, you never know about the second.

This.


Please.

Over the last twenty seven years, we have been 2-0 up too many times and blown it, but today when that third went in, I just knew it was our day.

It is so crazy. That hoodoo felt like the heaviest thing in the world; but now, it's not like a weight off our shoulders for me, it's more like realising that it was a fuss about nothing. We out-thought them and bossed them off the pitch, it was that simple. Unbelievable day.

Nice one Dave.
It's nice to be feeling a tad smug isn't it?

Lovely stuff, Dave.  Even being remote the last 20 years, the pain has still been real.

Great article, perfectly encapsulates the years of suffering and ridicule that served to make today so very fucking sweet.
