Unfortunately, we played with the usual inferoirity complex we seem to adopt when we play, allegedly, top sides .For the final, more will be required. Where can it come from?

Saha showed a few nice touches and the desire to play with some guile. He is obviously miles from being match fit and I hope that he gets as much football as possible in the next few weeks. He might just give us a little more quality.

Also, more football for James Vaughan before 30 May would give us something different on the bench. Until then, let's enjoy the glory. Okay, United started with a weakened team but the arrival of Scholes,E vra and Berbatov coincided with Everton taking control of the game. The supporters today were magnificent and put United to shame. Wish I could have been there.

Which brings me to my point: My theory on the noise the Blues fans were making as opposed to United's lot (yes I could hear it loud and clear and I was watching on a really bad internet feed); half of the red lot where only there to see the ?big? names, some of them probably thought they where at the wrong game when they saw the line-up! I'm thinking of the word ?bandwagon? here.

Everton fans (and players) are a different breed, once you put that blue shirt on, you're family. If we had to start with half our reserves (and lets face it, it was looking that way at times this season!) the support and performance would'nt have been any less.

Warriors indeed! Now let's do a double over the other ?Blues?! My man of the match ? for 10 seconds of sheer composure: JAGS!!!!!

So proud! Absolutely fantastic! Neighbors actually stopped by to see what the fuss was about ? they could hear us screaming like madmen.

When Jags buried it, we all ran outside screaming. Surrounded by naive Americans, they had no clue why... And we couldn?t have cared less. Those fans at Wembley are a credit to EFC, as are all our fans. SO PROUD! COYB!!!

From my point of view, it was a pretty tight game with not that many clear cut chances. Central defenders dominated and (unfortunately) Vidic in particular was immense. Our main aerial threat, Fellaini, was basically nullified and Cahill playing deeper was very quiet. Saha showed some good skills but might have been more effective coming on later in the game. There were a lot of solid performances - Jags, Lescott, Nev & Baines.

Hibbert did ok defensively but not really comfortable on the ball. Osman did ok too, drifted in and out a bit but still tried to create a few things. I thought Pienaar was very lively throughout and most likely to create something. Rodwell always looks composed and great to see Vaughan back buzzing around.

The only things I would have changed would be maybe Jacobsen at RB as he is far more comfortable on the ball than Hibbo. Possibly could have given Gosling a short run near the end. At the end of the day, Moyes & boys got us the result so I guess we can't quibble too much.

I thought maybe another striker might have made the difference earlier in the game, but who cares now. For me I didn?t see a player in a blue shirt who did not work their socks off or who shirk their responsibilities. I?d rather be in the final than lose looking good.

COYB! we can go one better, I have no doubts.
