We got massively lucky that night. Was never a pen. Huge turning point in our history

We won the second leg 4-1 so not sure if really matters that much, we were the better team in the first leg anyway.

We also got lucky in the away game with their disallowed goal and our offsides.

Davies was also suspended for a stamp in the first leg, Willis came back from injury, won the header for Biamou goal and put one in top corner at Wembley

We were lucky in the second leg too.
I am not even sure we were the better team in the first leg.

City outplayed Notts County in second leg. The score reflects that. First leg was even.

They were in the ascendancy when their second goal was (wrongly) disallowed.

Agree, we were the better team in the second leg but were lucky with decisions. First leg was pretty even from my memory.

Listened to a podcast with Doyle through lockdown, said they got informed that Notts County had Wembley t-shirts printed in their dressing room ready to go for after the game, after that there was no way we were losing that game

It's a big leap to say that means we got lucky, we absolutely battered them bar a 15 minute spell in the second half and should have had more than 4 goals. You could argue that they were lucky we didn't.

I don't think our players even appealed for it did they? Ref was the only person in the ground who saw a pen there.I was in a box - the pen happened right in front of me I had to watch it again on TV. Was never a pen

No denying that we were lucky. However it wasn’t all one way luck.
The post denied McNulty in the first leg and should have had a more blatant handball penalty at the end of the first leg (although from memory, we could’ve been offside).
The two calls we benefited from in the 2nd leg appeared correct live. It was only on replay you could see that we were luckier than Peter Crouch bagging Abbey Clancy

no, that being said it was a suicidal challenge, Bayliss was going nowhere

The luck wasn't all our way though, I seem to remember one of their players raising his arms in a way that should have been 100% a sending off but the ref missed it.
