On the way back we were discussing whether that was the best game we have ever seen as Stoke fans? 40 years and counting fro me and I think yesterday was the best ever,I was actually too young to really appreciate '72 - my 18 year old reckons the first prem win v Villa was his best moment. I have told him he is wrong but he is adamant, yesterday is second??

Huddysdad it's right up there. 72 was extra special as it was our first visit to Wembley and our first major cup success, and we weren't expected to beat Chelski. But the manner of our victory at Wembley yesterday may just nick it.

I have been watching Stoke since 1975 ever since then all i have ever heard about is 1972 and wished i had been there to see it. Yesterday i went with my sixteen year old daughter and she said it was the best game she had ever been to by a mile, i don,t think she will realise for many years just what she witnessed yesterday, i have spent a lifetime waiting that and in four weeks time, lets hope

The pitch is too big and we will struggle ......... bollox think we looked right at home at wembley in fact that was the best game i have seen us play we were ruthless! Did feel sorry for Bolton fans who started leaving after the second goal and by the end of the match their end was almost empty which must have been embarrasing for their players who went to applaud the one man and his dog who had bothered to stay. Special time not just for the club and fans but for the city.

This is the best time ever to be a Stoke fan, I agree the young 'uns wont appreciate what they have for a few years yet - A win next month and we will all be delirious

The performance, the occassion and the result eclipsed every single game I've ever been to since the late eighties.
There hve been better mentals with goals. There may have been a louder Delilah at Wembley in 91. There may have been some great games since our arrival to the Premier League but NOBODY can say that yesterday wasn't the greatest day in the history of our club.
To win 5-0 at Wembley in the semi final of the cup after 39 years of reaching the last one is nothing short of remarkable. Its dreamworld material. In fact if we'd have won 3-0 I'd have still been pinching myself this morning.
We're in the F.A Cup final for the first time in our near 150 year history and there has never been a better day or time to support Stoke City Football Club.
I am as proud as punch, ecstatic in our victory. We're going to play the worlds ricest football club in the FA Cup final and whatever anyone says or thinks, we have a bloody good chance of beating them.
I will never, ever forget yesterday and the next few weeks leading into the FA cup final are going to be special around this place.
Bring It On!

I guess it all depends on what happens on May 14th, but yesterday was certainly something special and will be in the memory for a very long time.
Was it the best, not sure yet, but it has to be close. No Stoke team has ever reached the FA Cup final before so History was made and we were there, so it takes something very special to beat that in my opinion.
I didn't see the league cup final or the semis in 71/72, I was too young (though I had been to an odd home game or 2 by then) but was a season ticket holder the year after and have been since. There were undoubtedly some great memories in those early days, and of course its easy for nostalgia to take over, but I think in years to come when I sit and think about it, yesterday will be high up that list.
