A Time to Dance
None of our hearts are pure, we always have mixed motives,
Are self deceivers, but the worst of all Deceits is to murmur ‘Lord, I am not worthy’
And, lying easy, turn your face to the wall.
But may I cure the habit, look up and outwards And may my feet follow my wider glance
First no doubt to stumble, then walk with the others
And in the end - with time and luck - to dance.

the only poem I know - for some reason I always remembered the last couple lines and luckily it was online somewhere.
A great performance tonight on and off the pitch by the band of brothers, time to dance for a few days at least
Get in there

So f****** proud of the lads, the thing i loved about tonight is it was a TEAM perfromance and the lads really wanted it.... I thought apart from the first 20 mins we were totally on top and we pushed on and on and on and we got our luck.....derby will be hard there is no doubt about that but if we show the same dedication, determination plus with our class I think we could all have a very special day in 12 days time.
Have to say thought kranjar tonight was class especially when moved back into midfield. Fair play to zamora too....With out being a doom monger and I know he won us the penalty but hoillett should not start the final....if you watch the game again just look how many times he gives the ball away and when in a good position he doesnt play the right ball....would bring morrison in from the start imo......but all I can say again is how proud we should all be of the players tonight.....and bring on wembley

Exactly that, in my opinion. At the start, I thought Wigan looked good, and after they scored that early goal I could see them getting a couple more. Until a few weeks ago, I had them as favourites to get to the final and win it, and although they have gone off the boil a bit, I thought the goal might give them the boost they needed to kick on.

But fair play to Rangers - and to Redknapp (or "Redknapp out" as he was known on here a couple of months ago!) - he reoganised and the whole team started to work - as a team. They pressed well, kept the ball, and I thought Wigan were a bit fortunate to be in front at half time.

I was surprised that Morrison wasn't on from the start, and I think he seemed to make a difference when he did come on. For me, Kranjcar was brilliant throughout (though I don't like him much) and Austin was always a threat. But it was overall a great team performance.

Congratulations. As a neutral I am really looking forward to the final.
