I missed the last 5 mins because I went to play 6-a-side because our team was down to bare bones.

I see McNasty was one of the pitch invaders. I'd have thought he'd have known better. Disappointing behaviour. As I said to him on the halfway line while Britt Assombalonga tried to push past us.

he scoreboard threw up the immortal words "Wembley !! Todays remaining Burgers and Pies half price.." Over the North bank he vaulted"

Congratulations to everyone. Fans, Players, Board... Home and Away for 25 years and never thought we would ever do it. This could be the last time we ever do it so make the most of it. Although knowing us we will probably make the Playoff Final as well now.

Up the Blues

Well done to Andy Woolmer too. He was splendid tonight - one of the best refereeing displays I have seen at Roots Hall for sometime. Had control of the game from start to finish. Good work sir!
 
While I couldn't be at the game listening over the radio I got emotional hearing the fans on the pitch singing "Que sera". Magic :'(

To see Southend United play at Wembley has been me and my brothers dream for well over 40 years. After too many near misses I pledged never to squirm through a semi final/play-off again. So tonight, as per the Crewe games and the first leg of this one (even though I could walk to Brisbane Road from here), I put the kids to bed early, my wise wife went out, I disconnected the outsde world and drew the curtains. It was just me, a bottle of Baileys and some pills (plus the Lord of course). Bruv rang the landline, as arranged, at full time. I couldn't hear him, but the bedlam in the background told me enough. I calmly put down the phone, sobbed, and opened a bottle of champagne. The phone/s are ringing off the hook, but this will not sink in for days - be very proud Blue Army! (p.s very touched to see Stanley Collymore's comments on Twitter tonight).

I feel a smug letter to the local paper coming on.

Finally, hearty congratuations to Mr Sturrock, who is much more respected by his peers than he his on here. Paul, I realise that you probably do not monitor SZ, but if any of your connections do - how about young Timlin leading the team out at Wembley on crutches?

Same for me, 43 years of hurt and 53 years for my bruv.

This may become a regular occurrence, for me every 55 years of supporting our great team....hope I'm still here when it happens again!! COYSuperBB
 
I've noted that both BarnaBlue and Rusty Shackleford have already booked their flights back for the Final. I was just wondering which one of the two is going to buy the tickets to ensure that you can sit next to each other?
 
I was so happy when we scored that 2nd. I seem to recall just turning and hugging my mum next to me. Great night for all concerned.
