Having watched both legs that is some team you have, we have given you a good game but the speed you play at is something else, I hope you win it and I have more respect for your club, managemnt and fans, enjoy your day out and May it be the first of many cups this season

Thanks! you've found the perfect formula to be popular on here - compliment us and reference Gerry Gow! Kudos!

Would prefer Chelsea in the final, Arsenal always seem to raise their game against us.

Arsenal though, can still be turned over, if we have a day at the back, like today or Anfield. And are likely to concede a shitload if we play well.

Hazard would run through today's defence & they would be much more cagey at the back.

Mancini didn’t win it.

My mistake. Pellers it was.

Yep. I'd have given my left testicle for a semi final back in the day. Never mind a final. Fuck any criticism whatsoever tonight. Enjoy. We're heading to Wembley. Again.

Aye, but that was then. Now it's our second home, so I hope you're good at growing some new ones pretty quick.

Destined to play Arsenal.

It's true though, is it not? Make those kind of errors against Juventus and we'll get punished before they shut up shop. Maybe we can afford to make these kind of errors against lower league opposition, but not against the elite European sides.

Maybe it's not as bad as you think - not many major European sides' attack plan will be to lump the ball into the box to a big unit. At least it wouldn't have been...

Good luck to Bristol city in their battle for promotion.

It wont make any difference but I think a lot of Manchester City fans will be wishing them well. Played good football. Gave everything and showed they are ready for the Premier League if they get there. I hope you make it this season, but if not this season it should happen soon. It looks as ever a tremendously difficult league to get out of with some teams like Villa and Derby doing well to. But Bristol City have got as good a chance as anyone and will probably take heart from this. Promotion is much much more important than a Cup Final. Where do you go after that? Back to the league again.

? Mancini?

No - my mistake Pellers it was.

 

[penalty spot]

We did enough to close the tie off early on playing patiently until the first goal. We then dominate the match and the final ball is lacking and our shooting is abysmal again so we don't kill the game off. Someone earlier said 27 shots 6 on target.
At the other end Stones makes mistakes he should be replaced next game as Mangala was dropped when he made errors. Overall a comfortable victory, took our foot of the pedal a little too early.

Yes, but for fuck's sake, let's enjoy the night. Do you think, in 76, post-thrashing Boro 4-0 at Maine Rd, there was any talk of "yeah, it's all very well putting 4 past David Mills etc, but we'd get hammered by Dino Zoff and his black and white band"? No, there fucking wasn't. Carpe Diem. And fucking well enjoy yet another final. Save the cribbing for losing.
