League Cup Final - Post Match Thread

I read a stat that Aubameyang had eight touches in the second half. Eight. And 2 of those were from kick offs. Surely not.
Dominant from city all round. Love this club!
 
Great day. My 9 year old son attended his first final yesterday and he loved it. I even let him buy a half and half scarf on our way out of the ground!. Nice stay in the premier inn watford. Just going over woodhead on our way home. Will rematch the game this afternoon with my son. Tradition!

Have you seen Neville's commentary on SSN?

He was absolutely tearing Arsenal apart. Said they're "an absolute disgrace" and the like.

I watched the game back when I got home last night (one of the benefits of being able to drive home from there in under an hour) and it was one of the most savage commentaries I've heard.
 
Which goal was Wenger on about when he moaned that one of ‘em was “clearly offside” post match?

If it was Sergio’s opener, unless the rules have recently changed, I didn’t think a player who picked up the ball directly from his own ‘keepers kick and ran on to score, (without any intervention whatsoever from an opposing player), could possibly be flagged offside

The veterans came to the rescue. The OGs, the ones that have been there for it all. Now for the youth to stomp that arsenal shit pike Thursday. COYC!!!!

Yeah I remember 1974.
City can always make you cry - even very recently (Monday). It's character building. Get Over it.

74 was my first visit to Wembley and I've not missed one since. '76 was obviously the second and so I will always have a soft spot for this competition. I would not be pained if the competition was retired but I love winning it.

Half and half scarf! Have social services been altered?

Seriously though, I've taken one of my daughters to the last two finals, cos Our Kid couldn't go, and it is something rather special. She's just 17 but only got interested in going to games relatively recently. Such days are really priceless.
 
All my pre Wembley rituals were in place;

1) Hornsea for fish and chips the night before
2) Mars milkshakes bought for the journey but “forgotten” and left in the fridge
3) “Accidentally” stepped in horseshit on the way to the ground.

No need to thank me people. Just glad you all enjoyed it.

The second goal and, technically, he has a case. They showed a reply in the ground that had me looking intently at the ref to see if VAR would spoil the fun, having just celebrated wildly.

Sane was definitely offside in a position that could have been deemed to have unsighted the keeper; however, Ospina's movement suggests that Sane did not affect the keeper who was clearly moving in the direction of Gundogan's shot and had absolutely no hope of recovering and stopping Vinnie's deflection. I think Sane was therefore an irrelevance and the goal correctly stood, but I am biased.

But Andy Gray said on Tv it was a foul by Sergio on Mustafi......Andy Gray who Bulldozed Steve Sherwood into the back of his own net for a Cup final goal......

Love the roar from our end when scored. Never seems loud when you’re in it celebrating that’s why I like finding the opposition POV videos.

As do I. Felt a tiny twinge of sadness for the Arsenal supporter there as her eyes swelled up at 0-3... but it passed quickly.

Pesky empathy, thought I had sorted it.
 
Just watching Pep's post match press-conference. They mentioned the 3 goalscorers and in his reply he also name-checked Yaya, Hart and Zaba for helping us get to where we are today. Pure class.

Don’t mind the grown ups for some reason lol but the pic of the kid crying pulled at my heartstrings for about 3 seconds...
 
@SWP's back The missus can confirm she’ll be donning the superwoman knickers for our next three matches.

You know, just in case you were thinking of putting some money on an accumulator. ;-)

Yeah, that tortured face was hard to watch, as it reminded me of when I was his age...

But then I remembered we aren’t **** any more and everything was right with the world again.

Or his own mind, much of the time.
