    Podgorny made a big difference after coming on in 61st minute. Looks a real prospect.
    definitely gave us a lift - I was also impressed with him.

    Washington-Amoah stood out for me. Also Richman & Podgorny.
    Seems we have more talent coming through.

    Is it home or away does anyone know ? I heard it was going to be decided (venue) on a toss of a coin? I would love to go to the Valley to see the final.

    Terry Smith seemed very sure it would be at the Valley.

    In previous years if the two finalists were both champions, as is the case this year, the venue was decided by a coin toss but perhaps this year we get home advantage because of our better points total over the season.

    We shall see when it's on the official site.

    Just seen the goals. Taking nothing away from the youngsters, but Hull's keeper... 😱

    Their goal was down to a bad mistake by our keeper.

    So the 4 times we won the league we didn't become National champions, and both times we were runner up, we did become National champions.

    I actually watched us play Wigan in one of these games a few years ago. We were in Jamie Carragher's son's pocket for the entire game and it was thoroughly miserable. Revenge time I hope
