Oh, I forgot, Vaz Te Vaz Te give us a wave about 5 times until he finally did.
Took him long enough but when he did the cheers was brilliant, Noble gave us a wave pretty much straight away, Carlton gave us a wave straight away, brilliant fun. :thup:

Noticed that too. I just presumed he was press or something.

Not sure where you sit but they filmed us in the corner next to the chicken run for quite a while after the final whistle celeberating.

This is what i was concerned about. However as there were about 3 people standing where my seat was, I don't think they'll be able to identify me very easily.

Was just watching the highlights (again) from yesterdays match and looking at the bench I noticed the old black fella that's been their for years and years and I've always wondered what he does. I've got a feeling he might be a youth coach or something but was wondering if anyone could clear it up.

Coppers were taking loads of shos of the BML and long range shots of the Cardiff fans.I kept covering my face to annoy them.
Great atmosphere close to the East Stand also good to meet a fellow Kumber Saludo di carlitios and share a pint (not literally)

Jimmy Hampson. Almost as important as Tony Carr in terms of the Academy. Chief scout, Tony's right-hand man.

What play off nerves?, we couldn't have asked for any more. I'm looking forward to us writing modern day WH history and having someone take over from Sir Trev as scorer of our last Wembley goal.

Its clear you are a younger Hammer because Ray Tonka Stewart scored out last Wembley Goal, a penalty in the last min of the 1981 league cup final vrs Liverpool to take the game to a replay at villa park which we lost 2-1 :wink:

On the 3rd screen down Maynards goal then it pans round to Big Sam and in the back round you can see every body going crazey except Carlton Cole who fair play is signing a tee shirt or something. The man is so cool ha looks like he finished signing the shirt then celebrated. 8-)
