A night to remember - part 1 (of hopefully 2)

I'm utterly speechless at the moment. From 0-1 the boys came back to win 2-1 and earn a place in the UEFA Europa League Final to be held in Hamburg on Wednesday 12th May. It's not quite sunk in and I still get a little choked when I read anything about it. Craven Cottage Newsround linked a great video of highlights and it's turned me into a Cheshire cat.

Tickets for the final went on sale yesterday and I've bought two - 1 for my uncle and another for me or someone else to go with my uncle. Why not definitely me? I'm due to fly out to Turkey on May 12th. But this is the chance of a lifetime! This'll only happen once! You're right, but my Nan paid for this holiday so I need to make sure she would be okay with me missing a day or 2. I'm sure she would but I'm worried about seeming ungrateful.

Look at it though - look!



How spectacular. Thursday night's semi final second leg will stay with me until they carry me out feet first and whether we win or lose the final it'd be a superb night and one that I would never ever forget.

And one last picture...
