2011 was incredible - let's always remember it (16 replies)

First off, Merry Christmas to you all!

I was just watching some highlights of the recent league cup games and thinking about the mammoth task in front of Brentford. It made me think of our run and how lucky we were in a lot of ways with the draw but also how hard the players fought.

Times can be real sh*t as a blues fan but that day was incredible. I was reduced to tears by the end. Each year I look around at other clubs and realise how lucky we are to have won a major honour. My mate is a Newcastle fan and has been to Wembley three times and watched them lose every time. Most Newcastle fans have never seen a trophy win.

However bad it gets for us, we've been blessed with our numerous final appearances and to have won, against Arsenal too, well, we are a truly lucky bunch. Let's always remember it.
