What did you do...

When Peter Clarke headed us into a replay at Roots Hall in the last minute?

After seeing The Big Shrimp's effort to bring down the Shed End with his flying punch, I thought we should all share our moment of absolute and complete euphoria.

The face of my friend next to me will live with me until I die, I dived onto him and we hugged whilst jumping. I threw my arms in the air and high fived the kid behind me. Ran over towards the stewards on the uppers and threw up my arms at the Chelsea fans, leaned over the barrier and watched and enjoyed the mass walkout whilst picking out one kid and calmly giving him the V-Sign before being picked up by an unidentified man. I only really calmed down once I got in the pub with my friends dad after about a thousand verses of "We're ****, and we drew with you"
 
I recall jumping up and down like someone a good few years younger than myself for what seemed like ages, then realising that the play had re-started I turned around to just check I wasn't blocking the view of those sitting behind me only to see them still jumping about. So I jumped about some more. Better exercise than wii fit.:)
 
I jumped around around like a total loon, and calmed down just in time to see Mildys save ... cue more jumping around like a loon
 
Stared at the PC screen in disbelief for a few seconds, waiting with baited breath to check that someone typing YESSSSSS!!!! in the chat room wasn't just taking the ****. When it was clear we really had scored I screamed with joy, waking my missus just before 3 in the morning but thankfully not the kids (she didn't mind but would have had the ache if the children had started screaming as a result).

Once the game had finished I listened to the start of Sports Report online and heard Clarkey's interview whilst pacing around as the adrenalin pumped through my veins. At about 4 am I tried in vain to go back to sleep (after texting McNasty as I knew he was with a few of the other lads) but really just lay awake untill morning.
 
My mouth was wide open as I looked at the ref, linesman and back to the ref to make sure it stood. Then I jumped up and down, arms in the air. Once play started again I had my hands on top of my head until the final whistle blew.

I confess, I had Kalou as the first goalscorer but did not predict a draw; part of me was thinking of the points I'd dropped in the prediction league!

I hold my head in shame.
 
I was in the Chelsea end near a few unsavoury characters so I jumped up and screamed "Disgraceful - Sort it out Scolari"
 
I jumped up and down, feel 2 rows forward, got wedge-ed, then went out my row bouncing up and down the steps till i got to the front, i for someone reason turned and hugged a steward (i'm sure he loved it a little to much mind). I just kept shouting yes really loudly, until the save, where i pretty much repeated the above.


UP THE YELLOWS!
 
When Peter Clarke headed us into a replay at Stamford Bridge in the last minute?

Personally I was making plans for the replay at Roots Hall!

:D
 
Punched the air underneath my desk, roared through gritted teeth and then quickly turned to the people next to me to ask what had happened.

I'd had my head down typing the final line about Chelsea's unconvincing victory. I glanced up to see Herd preparing for a throw-in and thought, 'Yeah, nothing's coming of that.'

That's why I got this job, y'see. Expert analysis.
 
Well according to some of the posts I was obviously busy trying to grab a flag and hide it in my Mary Poppins bag (Joke !!!!!!!) whilst everbody was distracted.
 
was jumping around screaming hugged the lady next to me, hugged my sister then we both hugged the lady next me, que more jumping from all 3 of us yelled abuse to the chelsea fans rang my other sister who was jumping around her living room with the kids.
 
Was fortunate to be in an aisle seat , tunred and got pal and fella sitting next to him in a group hug , must of thought the women behind me wanted to join is as hugged her too .

Then rushed down the bottom only to bump into the old boy who was proper ****ed all through the game who didn't have a seat i don't think as stewards were on his case most game , proceeded to dance around with him , sure it done him the world of good as after the game i had a headache for at least half hour through madness i think . Seriously though this fella actually sobered right up after all that !!!

Anyway went back to my seat and apologised to matey about hugging his missus , i reckon i could of proper groped her and got away with it as he didn't give a **** seeing as he was in such a great mood !!

Will have to try that trick if it ever happens again !!!
 
Went competely mad and nearly jumped on my friend and nearly fell down. TBH I can't remember much I was just so shocked!
 
i screamed and shouted with my family as i drove past Reims Catherdral
 
I was in 2nd row of lower tier and almost got pushed into first row by the 3rd row - probably a domino effect coming down from the back row
When I recovered my balance besides jumping up and down I found myself laughing hysterically
