I just got back.
Absolutely. Gutted.
However, I didn't die in a near car crash on the way back, so I suppose I should be happy about that.

We noticed as we were leaving Wembley that the Pompey fans were all sitting quietly in their coaches, not really celebrating. So we started up a bit of a singsong and did the conga up and down the aisle. Que very confused looks from their fans.
I was in no state to celebrate, I was absolutely knackered
Well played Bluebirds, you terrified me for the full time
Cheers fella. Well done to your lot. Hope you enjoyed it.
Class between the divisions told in the end. Good game and a great day. Was very pleasant all the fans mingling before and after. Happy days.

Hey, Dean Yager!
The stroke's done for his left hand
It's a natural process, of course it is, and for Bobby it's a shame. But he's achieved nearly everything he could in his chosen profession, represented club and country as player and manager. He's managed at home to success, and abroad to even greater success.
Leg. End.

That was my last one ever, I fear I jinxed the team. Sorry not to make it down the Albert I...er... fell asleep. Great day though!

What a wicked game of football- when that cardiff goal went in, it took me ages to realise it was disallowed i was cheering and jumping about so much
Well done pompey

Funnier than he thinks he is.
Just got home and am absolutely knackered.
Can i just say that despite the result it was an incredible experience and a most enjoyable weekend.
Respect to both sets of fans. I can never remember a losing teams fans staying behind like we did yesterday. The Pompey fans were brillaint after and stood in the car park applauding the Cardiff coaches out of Wembley.
For all those who said that the FA Cup wasnt the same without a big name team in the final, I think you missed the point, yesterday was two sides who are still largely supported by people from their home town. Both sets of fans know more of the downs than the ups of football and appreciated what a momentous occassion it was win or lose. There was an empathy between the fans that you wouldnt have got with a fashionable club. All fans were drinking together after the game and I did not see any hint of anything untoward I hope this was the case all day.
Congratulations Pompey and well done city, we were not disgraced and I can't wait to do it again, I like FA Cup finals and I would rather like another one please!!

Hey, Dean Yager!
Excellent day, CCFC were loud and proud (not like that ) - it all went off perfectly. The pub beforehand was the best atmosphere i've been in since Wigan 2005! The walk to the ground was a soaking one, and we ended up coming through the CCFC end which prompted some light hearted banter, but generally it was good luck to you and have a good day all the way around. I was terrified for the first quarter hour, got increasingly confident, said some very very rude words when Kanu hit the post and then went ballistic. When the CCFC phantom goal happened it too me as long as anyone to stop being gutted. I had to ring home and ask my dad why it got given off (partly, because if it was a nothing thing i'd have been gutted - honestly, because it wouldn't have been fair 
). The second half was a mix of shouting and singing and dancing, and gut wrenching terror especially when Ramsey came one (what a player!). I thought CCFC did well, played to their limit and had good chances.
Didn't think much of the ref though

Unlucky, CCFC. I'm kind of pleased for Harry, tbh. My dad lives outside Southampton, and is not a native Musher, is pretty choked all the same.

I thought both fans mixed well before and after the game. I spoke to lots of Pompey all through the day and they were all a nice bunch. Lots if empathy as 1927 said
Football was the winner on Saturday.
