Credit to forest fans good rivalry but not hostile.
Credit to our fans for trying to make up for the seats we're unsold.
Credit to mother nature for giving us another great Wembley visit in the sunshine. Apart from Wigan I cant remember getting wet at Wembley.

In all the reasons he mentioned as to why we didn’t sell out our allocation,,I noticed Twatterface didn’t mention the ridiculous kick-off time.

That's because he works for the company that set the KO time. I see the time for the final has not been set. Probably going to be 5.30 KO with the last train home at 9pm

It was 3pm last year and it’s set to stay the same as no premier league games are played that day,I’ve booked my train £85 return for the day.

Quite a bit of confusion in the media after the game and again this morning.

In relation to Forest's performance I have read the word "unlucky", when I think what they meant to write was "consistently failed to hit the target including one instance of missing an open goal".

 

[.db.]

I thought our tactics were spot on and we controlled the game, but we were let down by some sloppy passing which allowed Forest to get into the game and some poor execution in their box which saw good attacking opportunities come to nowt.

In the end they had better chances than we did despite us controlling the game.
Better execution and better players with those tactics and we don’t give the opposition a sniff there. Something we need to be careful of in the final four PL games and the FA Cup final.

Savinho was a very frustrating watch, where’s his spark gone from the Winter? Dias had a poor game, looks like he needs a rest.
But Bernardo and especially Kovačić were top class in midfield.

Onto the final. Can’t wait!

I don’t think Pep was impressed with that second half.

Football fans are weird. Coach goes to a club and wins just about everything there is to win with a style of play and some fans question it when there's a couple of wobbles.

When did we start calling Managers a Coach? It’s always been Manager - seems we’re incorporating some US style naming.

Since the manager relinquished lots of responsibility, such as player transfers, contract negotiations etc
Large clubs now have directors of football for that side which leaves the "manager" more time to coach, hence the job title change to "coach"

Was the only reason it was 3pm last year was because it was the rags.

The menopause is unkind mate.

Probably when the soccer players in the locker room stopped calling him gaffer?

Hopefully it will be. Seemed to remember that the TV companies still wanted at 5pm even though there was a Manchester team in the final. I reckon they'll still try for a late ko this year

Excellent performance, enjoyed the day out yesterday. I felt it was more a ‘city crowd’ today, and the crowd got behind the side all game. I think our possession game just subdued the Forest support all game. All credit to Rico as he played very well, and Kova was brilliant. Settled back four working really well, hopefully keep this in place for the rest of the season. Josko is so good. I think we are just so fluent at the moment, not having to look for a pivotal striker. Pep looks like he’s reinventing this side again. Hope some of those fans there today, who don’t have ST, get a ticket for the final.

Exactly.

Ted Lasso likes this.

Maybe the traditionalists who wouldn't go to a Wembley semi-final should boycott the final unless it's played at the Kennington Oval?

 

[Roachy]

Good performance overall. First half saw us with plenty of possession along with some nice passing and movement. Forest had a go in that opening 20 mins period of the 2nd half but we looked good. I thought the handball was a pen for us, but who knows nowadays.
As usual the bulk of the Forest chances came from bits of poor play from us rather than great stuff from the opposition. Need to keep this tempo going now until the end of season, might not be a bad one after all.

What do you call the proper coaches then if the manager is now called a coach even though he doesn't do any actual coaching?

Bit harsh.

I meant to say Pougatch was all over Palace beating us in the final.

Very fair and balanced is was not.
