I'm not entirely sure what a guard of honour entails but they were very respectful. As we were filing out of the stadium they were singing songs about the day they won the title (when we had United at our place and our fans (I wasnt there) did the poznan when news filtered through of Aguero's goal) and there was a handful of people around us starting off applause for our fans.
It was respectful and I loved it at first, but by the time we filtered out, down Wembley Way, and made the platform of the tube station I was kinda just wishing they would pack it in, to be honest.
As we noted at the time...theres no way we would have done that had we won. Admittedly it's cause we arent used to winning things and theres a very good chance it would have been the only trophy a lot of us ever saw us win, but we would not have been out there shaking peoples hands. I highly doubt it.
