All men are created equal, some work harder in preseason.

| It'll be bigger if we kick on and win more over next few years. Feels like a massive pressure has been let off.

| Certainly my best day as a fan of our great club. This season we've beaten the rest of the top 5 to win the cup at Wembley and are top of Super League, 80 minutes from Old Trafford, and have genuine candidates for Coach of the Year and Man of Steel. Just think where we were a couple of years ago, an astounding transformation. Savour this moment in our history, dreams were realised this weekend which many have waited decades for. A wonderful achievement and genuine optimism for the road ahead.

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?: |

| Certainly the proudest day for me supporting the club.
The effort was outstanding, everyone put their bodies on the line.
Whenever I replay Danny Houghton's tackle, I expect him to miss it and for me to wake up from the dream of winning the cup at Wembley!!
"The Greatest Day"? - more like "The Longest Day", well the last 5 minutes anyway.

I'm still not convinced I didn't nod off at half time on Good Friday and I'm still dreaming

| Cardiff in 2005 was fantastic but it wasn't a patch on yesterday.
It truly was the greatest day in the 38 years i've been following them.

| Having endured countless defeats since my first Wembley visit in 1959, yesterday was just so sweet. We had the usual roller coaster of emotions, falling behind to a try after Shaul had made that wonderful tackle on Sandow. Then watching Gidley miss two kickable goals, I thought "this is still winnable" and so it proved. I went through the wringer yesteday but our boys just dont know when they're beaten and gave us all the moment we had been waiting for. Thanks Adam, Radders and Motu for giving us this special day.

| I'm still lost for words, at the end it was almost a relief when we dropped on the loose ball - but what a day. I witnessed a piece of history made that I thought I'd never see. So, so happy for the fans -those who were there, those who couldn't get there and those we've lost. For Adam -thank you, for Radders your courage, belief and commitment in adversity, the whole squad and backroom and our Wembley players - especially Ellis for finally adding the one trophy he hadn't achieved so far. On a day of 17 heroes we also saw 2 Superheroes come to the fore in Houghton and Shaul. Covent Garden was rocking to the FC Opera last night and I still haven't got my voice back. hashtag1LessSong.

| It was when I weigh it all up but as much as it was ace in the Torch and Wembley Way pre-game I have to be honest I was too nervous to really get into it at the time. However once Mini dived on that ball at the end (I went into shock at the time) and I was able to take it in and finally bask in a Wembley win nothing can or will ever compare to it. It was just so amazing and emotional that I am still waking up and thinking did that really happen. I am forever indebted to the players staff and owner for what they gave me and my family (finally!) and to all my fellow black and whites we shared it with.

| Hand on heart I didn’t really enjoyed the game as it happened, I was just too tense. In fact the last 5 minutes felt that surreal I actually didn’t realise where I was. Not until Mini dived onto the loose ball did I come around. When the game was over I was more relieved than jubilant, only when the music staring playing and Gaz lifted the Cup did I really let myself go, danced a Dad dance with my girls (has Coldplay ever sounded so good?). When we got outside of the stadium I felt absolutely shattered and drenched with sweat, like I’d had a good kicking. All that said I wouldn’t have changed a thing, it was perfect.

| Next time we win it I want the game to be over with 20 minutes left so I can actually enjoy it. Far too many close games this year for me ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)
