My combined XI, from Manchester United's 1999 Treble winners and the Manchester City team looking to emulate them over the next three weeks, would be a 4-3-3 shape.
Yes, it's weighted 8-3 in favour of Sir Alex Ferguson's United, because they set the bar 24 years ago and their achievement hasn't been matched by Pep Guardiola's men... yet.
Of the current City contingent, only Ruben Dias, Kevin de Bruyne and Erling Haaland get the nod. That sees Peter Schmeichel keeping Ederson out between the sticks, with Gary Neville, Jaap Stam and Denis Irwin joining Dias in the back four.
Paul Scholes and Roy Keane line up alongside De Bruyne in the midfield trio, with David Beckham and Ryan Giggs supplying Haaland with the ammunition from the flanks. Oh, and for good measure, sorry Pep... it's Sir Alex in the dugout too.
My Combined Starting XI: Peter Schmeichel; Gary Neville, Jaap Stam, Ruben Dias, Denis Irwin; Paul Scholes, Roy Keane, Kevin de Bruyne; David Beckham, Erling Haaland, Ryan Giggs
Manager: Sir Alex Ferguson
Awful scenes in Alkmaar
Nobody in their right mind should blame West Ham players for getting involved in the shocking scenes when their families and friends were ambushed by hooligans in Alkmaar.
If you see your loved ones or mates being attacked, it's human nature to step in and try to protect them.
What makes it even worse is that, from my commentary position on the BT Sport gantry, we could see it all unfolding – and nobody did anything to stop the thugs.
They forced a gate open, ran maybe 40 yards along the front of the stand and climbed a stairway to reach the West Ham fans sat behind the away dugout. If we could see it happening, where were the police and stewards?
Players' families should be able to watch their sons, brothers, cousins or grandchildren play football matches in safety. It's absolutely shocking that they were subjected to such mindless violence and that the authorities didn't seem to do anything to stop it.
It took the gloss off a massive moment for West Ham David Moyes, who turned 60 last month and can now reflect on his biggest achievement in almost 1,100 games as a manager.
Only last month there were sections of fans who wanted him out and chanting “You don't know what you're doing.”
Well, it looks like Moyes does know what he's doing, and the Hammers are going to a showpiece final in Prague next month to prove it.
What a Thursday for Wednesday!
Sheffield Wednesday – wow, just wow.
I played with Darren Moore, one of the good guys, and I'm so pleased for him that Wednesday produced the most astonishing fightback in play-off history.
After losing their semi-final first leg 4-0 at Peterborough, Moore was being subjected to abuse on social media, fans were ripping up their tickets for the second leg and others were saying they wouldn't bother going.
Each and every one of the 31,835 punters who did go to Hillsborough on Thursday night will remember the Owls' 5-1 win and the penalty shoot-out for the rest of their lives. No team had ever overturned more than a two-goal deficit in the play-offs, let alone a four-goal shortfall. That's the measure of what Moore and his players achieved.
In a two-legged tie, it must be right up there with Liverpool's miraculous 4-0 hammering of Barcelona in the 2019 Champions League semi-finals, after losing the first leg 3-0, in the list of great comebacks.
Relief for Bostock
John Bostock must have been the most relieved person at Wembley when Notts County regained their Football League status.
Overall, there is no doubt County deserved to follow Wrexham back into the 92-club mainstream after collecting 107 points and 117 goals in 46 games, coming back from 2-0 down in their play-off semi-final and twice equalising to force a shoot-out with Chesterfield.
Bostock's Panenka-style penalty hit the bar when he had the chance to win it, and he joked afterwards that he thought it was the crossbar challenge. All's well that ends well, but he might not have been laughing if County had not gone on to seal promotion.
Good luck to Luke Williams and his players. After 161 years, they can reclaim their status as the oldest Football League club after an extraordinary season which has shed a lot of favourable light on the National League.
