I can’t compare as I wasn’t born until 1975. But I’d rather win an FA cup than promotion any day so I imagine I’d agree if I had been

 

Wills Griggs on fire? Come on lads.

 

Seconds into the video hes seen boarding a train in Ipswich which in the grand scheme of thing's doesn't tell us his football allegiance....just saying.

Well my take on a fantastic day spent with great friends and my son. Great to meet others off here off here to @Prehab26 pleased your feeling better. Loved every minute of the day the journey down on the motorway seeing all the fans travelling down brilliant. Meeting friends on the way down and then in central London and sharing a few beers and songs. The match itself I thought we controlled the game from start to finish (mind I was slightly worse with drink). Great atmosphere and just the sheer delight and relief on peoples faces at the end is something I will treasure. Had a great time with my son and was so happy to be able to share the weekend with him. Cherish it forever. Enjoy the break everyone and can’t wait for @RTB first Championship extravaganza match thread. Keep the faith lads lasses.

 

I'm still absolutely bouncing me.

Must have watched all of the content about 20 times

 

What an angle this is for the goal.... Look at the crowd man

 

Genuinely don’t think I’ll ever forget that goal.

Not sure if it was because it was when I finally felt like I could believe, or the fact he basically passed it into the net and it seemed to go in inevitable slow motion that allowed me to saviour the goal being scored. But it will just stick.

 

Quick feet done the keeper and caught him off balance, tbh I couldn't believe it when it went in and he didn't dive for it but looking at all of the replays it's fantastic center forward play from Stewart. The movement to drop off then a quick couple of touches then...wallop. Happy days.

 

I thought I was going over the barrier when that went in, hugged the bloke next to me, hugged my cousin and then stood arms aloft, looking up to the sky in disbelief at what had happened

 

I didn't celebrate that goal the way I normally do tbh, I jumped up and cheered then quite quickly I put my hands on my head and thought '****ing hell we are going to do this'. It felt surreal

 

Because of what the goal meant it’s kinda gone under the radar how bloody good it was. Not many strikers at this level capable of that quick movement.
