That's a huge pot

We entertained Charlton at the Bridge on Saturday, the day we were presented with the prize we've been waiting so long for.

I never thought I'd see the day, and it hasn't been disappointing now that it has finally happened.

A late, and very rare Makelele goal sealed the home season with 3 points, to take the tally to 91 - one short of the Premiership record, with two to play.

The penalty was a dodgy decision, outside the box, but no doubt looked upon favourably by Riley since he missed the blatant penalty by the demi-thug Konchesky on Tiago earlier in the half.

After the game, the 13 remaining available members of the 1955 Championship squad, who never received a trophy, were presented with one by John Terry. One legend to another, Roy Bentley looked emotional.

Then the wait was over. After 50 years, the big shiny pot that is the Premiership trophy was presented.

At last...

Winging it...
