12 Long Painful Years Finals - At Last!!

Seeing the crowd last night and how we played, all I could think of after the game was the corny, jingoistic Monkey's song "I'm a Believer'!

The lyrics are:

I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all of my dreams

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried

I thought love was more or less a giving thing
Seems the more I gave the less I got
What's the use in tryin'
All you get is pain?
When I needed sunshine, I got rain

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried

Oh

Oh, love was out to get me
Now, that's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all of my dreams

Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried

Yes, I saw her face, now I'm a believer

For those who don't know the song:

Such apt words for the ever faithful demon supporter.  After so much pain and heartache.  In Goodwin's words:  we have a team everyone can now believe in.

Last night was epic - one for the true believers!
