The Willy post game thread (merged)

From calamity to colossus. Don't know if it quite warrants legend status, but I'll never forget them penaltys.

Loved the song down Wembley way after the game too. Ohh willy cabellero, oh willy cabellero, oh willy cabellero, he's got a big Dick rarara.

Always said he was class ;)

Seriously pleased for him, just watched it back and you can see how much it meant to him.

Will go down as a cult hero now IMO

 

[without a dream]

May well be his last ever game for us and what a way to sign off. He'll forever have a place in City folklore now. That last save was phenomenal!

Great day out but whoever decided to kick off at 4.30 needs to fuck off, 2am i got home this morning,traffic was wank.

Agreed, we were held back and directed through the station on the way back. Took ages to walk back to the coach, then the driver was running out of hours. When it is 2 Northern teams it is totally unacceptable to have late kick-off's on a Sunday.

 

[Wilf Wild 1937]

I'm more than happy to have been proved totally wrong over Willy.

I pissed myself at the "He used to be shite but now he's alright" song queuing up to get into Wembley Park after the game.

Another great "day out" with the Blues. We've fully atoned for all the years of dross now!

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Like around 80% of the board I'm in the eating shitt and know fuck all camp this morning.

Well done Willy, so pleased to be totally wrong on my thoughts for this game.

Willy, Willy, Willy

 

[carlosthejackal]

Hold my hands up , proved me wrong and yes I am a ****

 

[doctor whites]

Well done Willy we were all wrong sorry

 

[I'm Blue]

I wanted Joe to start.
I was wrong, I know nothing about football, I'm sorry.
Those penalty saves were amazing, especially the third, though according to David James he was 2 yards off his line : )

Anyone know what happened between Willie and yaya at the end? Was he mad at Yaya for trying to take the glory or didn't he know it was over?

Honestly don't think he knew it was over. Wagging his finger to say no no no and saw the players running and his expression changed.

What I thought too. Or he just wanted to stop all 11 dipper's pks ...make that 12 ..I forgot Olive oil.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Yup, well done Cabellero, well done Pellers. Today I eat humble pie. Really well done guys

 

[Cellarite]

Another one here who owes Willy an apology. I doubted him all week and so much didn't want him to play.

A lesson learnt - never doubt a player's commitment to the sky blue cause.

 

[Manc in London]

Of course, I am delighted we won but I have to add that I am especially pleased for him. I was filling up watching his interview. It meant the world to him and it looks like he was aware of the criticism of his appearance against Chelsea. I don't know if that feedback was from the press, opposition fans or Blues. Regardless, some people will do well to remember that footballers are real people with feelings and egos.

 

[Itsaar]

Well done Willy, never been more glad to be wrong.

 

[blueinsa]

Keep watching the interview and seeing the emotion he shows and i must admit to feeling it too and thats from a poster who bemoaned the decision to play him.

 

[baildon blue]

Never doubted him .

Unlike most City fans .

 

[blue44]

like I text me dad from outside Wembley last night

" masterstroke from Pelligrini "

I was one of the dismayed ....before ... but ....the older I get life keeps teaches me lesson I thought I knew but was wrong...

up the blues

 

[Blue Feather]

Not only great for Willy Caball-HERO but good fun singing his name down to Wembley Park, much better than YMCA.....Cheers Big Willy !!
