Football FanCast columnist Jim McKendry is delighted that Harry Redknapp has finally got his hands on some silverware.

If there was a man in football more deserving of a cup final success than Harry Redknapp, then I haven't met them.

You know, now that I've calmed down I've been able to see why I am a City fan.
