      I think the reference to the 2005 over the 2001 final was the comback rather than the way the game was won !

      Get the F**k in there lads!!!!!!! First of many under KK second spell. Excellent match and credit to Cardiff they did themselves more than proud and after that I'll be wishing them all the luck in their challenge for promotion.

      Downing needs to show this kind of performance in the league because that was like a different player the last two (cup) matches, so I hope it's more a case of him suddenly discovering his form again and not just turning it on when he wants to. Easily man of the match for me, constant threat, always wanted and carried the ball with purpose and was a joy to watch. One of Luis' worst performances for us and I'd agree tried too hard, think he realised he was having a bad game and declined the peno because he felt it wasn't his day.

      Absolutely delighted, not gonna run through the team, just a massive pat on the back for all of the lads for going the distance and bringing home the silverware!! Now let's use this as momentum for 4th and the F.A. Cup!

      Made up! Couldn't give a flip that it was so close. A final is a final, anything can happen, and you take a win any way you can.

      And no-one deserves a winners medal more than Dirk Kuyt. What a player he has been over the years for us.

      Get in redmen! YNWA!!!!!!

      Martin Skrtel and Stewart Downing take a F***ing bow. Brilliant from both of them, and great from Dirk too.

      To all those who stepped up to take penalties

      It isn't easy, it's bloody nerve busting, and takes some real balls to do so.

      Everyone a hero.

      Hope Agger is ok

      Anybody complaining can F**k right off because I'm not prepared to get meself banned on a day when my beloved Liverpool Football Club have finally returned to winning trophies. And if I see one negative c**t today then I won't be able to help meself but let rip on the tw*t.

      Anyway, now that's out the way let me start by saying just how F***ing delighted I am with my club. Six long years since a trophy, nine long years without the League Cup and seventeen long years since we won at Wembley. All that has gone now. We're back. We're winning trophies again. We're in Europe again as of next year. We've shown everybody that under Kenny Dalglish we are a force to be reckoned with. And that hurts every non-Liverpool fan because at long last Liverpool Football Club is back.

      We've beaten every side put in front of us. We've had two potential banana skins in the early rounds with away trips to Exeter and Brighton. We've traditionally struggled at the Britannia. Away to Chelsea is always difficult. And to top it off we get the runaway leaders Man City in the semi finals. We fu**ed the lot of them. None of them even came close to us.

      Then today in the final, the gulf in quality was there. All this credit to Cardiff bollocks, you're crediting their defenders which means we must of attacked for the majority of the game. They had three maybe four chances in 120 minutes. We had countless. We deserved to win. F**k what anybody else says, we deserved to win - it's as simple as that.

      The penalties could of been better taken but so what, we scored more than they did and that's all that matters on penalties. It's not who misses first, it's who misses last. And that was them. F***ing delighted to see it an all. Couldn't care less about being sporting or feeling sorry for them, I screamed as loud as I possibly could when Gerrard missed for them.

      Me eyes are stinging from the amount of tears I've cried. It started with Skrtel's goal when the passion just flooded out. And when Dirk got that goal in extra time I was in buckets, as was me arl fella beside me. After Gerrard's miss from the spot, I went again and to see how much joy our boys got from winning the League Cup made me even prouder to be a Red.

      I haven't been as happy as this for a very, very long time but as always it's Liverpool Football Club that give me my greatest memories.

      Kenny's smile is a joy to behold any time but especially after today's win. The pride he showed was immense. You can see just how much this club means to him. Was chuffed to see so many of the boys decked out in Liverpool scarves as well, showing that it means something to them. And when Stevie lifted that trophy up, I thought nothing but "yessssssssssssssssssssss ssssssss".

      When we return to Wembley in May for the FA Cup final, we can celebrate a fully deserved double.

      But for now, I'll take great pleasure in celebrating this triumph.

      Thank you Redmen, you've made me a very, very, very happy and proud Kopite once again.

      I have decided upon my demise that upon my tombstone I want the following.
      "Here lies a Kopite"
      Thats all I would like to be remembered by.
      Did anyone really think today would end up any different than it has.
