Got to say they organisers have that Wembley Park exit nailed after the game. Thousands of people on tubes within what seems like no time at all. Manchester council could follow this lead.

They have.. Once you're in it's like clockwork. It's Metrolink who could do with taking some tips. An operation ten times smaller and ten times worse.

Jack Wilshere: Arsenal midfielder says Gunners got 'bad decisions' in Carabao Cup final

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43202720
 
This morning on the radio they were talking about Pep and how the team trains and prepares. I don't remember who the guest was that was with them, but he said that rondos are so big in Pep's training and you can see it. They were talking about having never seen the amount of intensity for 90 minutes game after game that City puts on in the Premier League. They said that even when Pep was at Barca and at Bayern that those teams weren't consistently as strong in applying pressure as this City team is. The guest had spoken with DeBruyne and was told that the players love the rondos and hate them all at the same time. He said that the only way it can work is if the coach can instill the right mindset in the players. Because in the 5 vs 2 box drills, the goal is for the 5 to make the 2 look foolish. Some guys are too self absorbed to find enjoyment in that. There was mention of some of Pep's former players never fully embracing the benefits. It forces many aspects that you see and expect in a Pep team. Crisp passing, the ability to develop a first touch, vision of field, etc. But you have to have the right set of guys or you will end up with a cancer in the locker room.

It was a great discussion and one side comment was about the money spent. It was interesting because normally the discussion is that f you spend that much money on so many new players that you better be able to win. But today was different. It was more like, "yes, they spend money, but other teams spend about the same and they don't play well together. Plus this is a team that is very young. They will have to replace Kompany soon. Then Fernandinho, Silva, and Aguero over the next few seasons. But the frightening thing is that the main force of this team will be together for the next 5-7 years and most of them haven't even found their full potential yet.

I think that money will always be a big talking point for City, but if the talking heads are starting to acknowledge what we've been saying here for the last couple years, it is going to put a ton more pressure on the rest of the top teams around the world.
 
Just watching the tunnel cam video and seeing Walker jumping around smiling non stop and it hit me. This is his first trophy, something he's been waiting years for, got a lot of grief for his move, but its already paid off with a trophy. This is the first trophy for many other players as well. So so important IMO. We are building the true winning mentality.

He'll be smiling even more when he gets his hands on a PL winners medal in a few weeks
