What a fantastic day!
We left home just before 8:00 this morning, with our eight year-old grandson, stopped at the truck café on the A1 near Peterborough, which always part of our ritual on trips to Wembley, drove on to Watford station, where we parked up, watched a brilliant City performance, celebrated another trophy for the Blues, nearly froze to death and mad the return journey, though straight up the M1 on the way back, and arrived back home just before 0030.
Apart from the first 10-15 minutes, when we defended superbly, we dominated the game. Every one of them had a great, though special mention must go to Vinnie, my MotM, Nico, Claudio, who kept us in it with a fantastic save with his feet at 0-0, and Sergio, who ran his socks off all game.
Kun took his goal brilliantly; I thought it was going wide, but it was a great finish. I was delighted for Vinnie that he topped off his MotM performance with a goal and what the fuck is Merlin doing scoring a goal like that? Usually, he would either send it miles wide or pass to a teammate, who would send it miles wide!
We heard Wenger moaning about Leroy being offside for the second, but it really wouldn’t have made any difference, as we were completely dominating by then.
Finally, I was delighted to see Gabriel start his comeback and master Foden get a few minutes in a cup final.
