EIGHTY-NINE minutes gone. Still tied. Arsenal can’t find the net. Fabregas is off. Van Persie’s limping. They keep pressing, always one step ahead. But we stand firm. Ben Foster launches it long. Žigić flicks it on. Koscielny and Szczesny hesitate. The ball falls — Obafemi Martins pounces. Open goal … and it’s in! Madness erupts. Arms fly. I grab the bloke next to me. He grabs me back. Seconds left. The 2011 League Cup Final, and Birmingham City lead!
