I was at this game Thursday night it was, went on the train along with thousands of other blues, total heartache at the end, but what a game - :

Went to both, should have won both games. Spurs players were knackered in the first game. Mayhem at the replay is a memory. Never liked them since. Sold my Grifter bike to get a bullocks coach to my brother. Bought it well took it back on the Friday. I think he gave it me back. Ricky bastard Villa……

I went to both too. So unlucky in the 1st game, mad deflection for their goal. Gerry Gow was brilliant in midfield but had major injury problems and couldn't play 2 games in a week so although we patched him up to play in the replay on the Thursday night he couldn't move and Villa who'd been taken off in the 1st game he was so quiet was the difference in the 2nd.
Absolutely gutted but it was a great season from when John Bond took over and bought Gow, Tommy Hutchinson and Bobby Mcdonald who would still get into my best City team as left back.

Villa cost us a trophy. Let's hope lightning doesn't strike twice.

I was there. My first trips to Wembley. Second game was such a roller coaster. Mackenzie goal doesn’t get the credit it deserves because of their scabby winner. Still hate Spurs for that.

Went to the first, couldn't get to the second cos it was a Thursday fucking night. Very sad evening that was.
