Despite having a ticket, at this moment in time I was working in Trenchard Hall Officers Mess at The Royal Air Force College Cranwell.

A big thank you to Sgt Kenneth Woods who, despite my having an agreement with SACW Susan Hill to do my shift, would not let me have a days leave.

What a wanker!

It's 2.21pm now and yes the atmosphere's good - but you can't help but notice that the "best chairman we ever had" (according to some deluded souls on here) appears to have flogged half of our Wembley standing allocation off to the Man U fans. Can't pretend it didn't take a little bit of the shine off the day at the time.

Not sure how true this is. I've just accosted a Manure fan in the concourse below. He's got a ticket for the lower tier and it's got Middlesex FA stamped on it. He reckons that the lower tier tickets go mainly to local county FA's.

Looking forward to singing Abide With Me and keeping my fingers crossed that Smith scores the first goal at 16-1.

I was glued to Grandstand, had been all morning. Was dressed in my full British Caledonian kit, socks an' all.

Felt very poorly, though - was diagnosed with diabetes the day after the replay. Doctor told my folks I only had days to live

Was a strange week all in all.

At least you got to the Semi-Final, Tim. And on my ticket as well.

The pasta has arrived. 2 1/2 year old BoF is having an early supper. BoF Senior asks the waiter to turn up the volume on the TV.

Interesting. I went in a Ford Granada.

The real story as I remember it:

Dad and I had been along to the games to collect the vouchers for the Cup games, but we couldn't go owing to a previously-booked family holiday in Rhodes.

Ever the nice guy, my Dad offered the Semi-Final tickets to your father to give you both the chance to go to Highbury.

And the rest is history!

You get funnier as the years roll by.
