League Cup Final

13 years on, and I bet neither of them score 5…..

Interesting to see the Sky feed on ITV though

Bastard freezing that day as well

In some ways that final was such a damp squib. Certainly compared to the Chelsea game (particularly the one at Stamford Bridge which was unforgettable).

This is a terrible final so far. Two best teams in the country apparently. Arsenal especially are a grim watch.

I've never been as cold going to a football match as I was that day at Wembley.

That Arsenal keeper is pish

They are awful, absolutely nothing about them is enjoyable from their style of play to their manager.

Cherki keepy uppies with the inevitable reaction

It was - in such a weird way. Beforehand we were anticipating high balls and physical battles in the box. Anything could have happened was the worry. But after the first 10 mins or so you could see we were in total control. Big Wembley pitch, classic Swansea Way passing etc. Then after the first goal I think I've never been so relaxed throughout in an important game as that one. Felt really strange though. But entirely acceptable given a major trophy was at stake.

I actually felt a bit sorry for the Bradford fans, they had such an epic route to get there, fair play.

I do recall in particular their ironic cheering when they had a corner in the 80th minute.

Still, despite that freezing cold, a great memory to add to others. For me four in particular, Preston 3 -1; Leeds 5-1; Reading 4-2; QPR 5-0. Many others though

At least something for spurs fans to cheer about (as it stands)

Agree with all of that.

I also agree with your list. Plus Forest in the playoffs. Cardiff years ago in the Welsh Cup at the Vetch. Arsenal away in the old First Division when we won 2 nil. A night game against Southampton when Keegan was playing, the second replay against Crystal Palace at Ninian Park (a ‘neutral venue’) in the cup.

Valencia away. Hull home.

Still have my half-and-half scarf from the Bradford game.
