Yesterdays performance was one of the best I have ever seen in a final from any team in any cup in any country.
We were totally dominant and made Spurs look like a pub team. How sweet is revenge for them destroying my life in 81.
Walker was magnificent, he played a vital role in subduing Song, without Song's pace on the counter Spurs are a pub team and Walker nullified the threat beautifully. Kane was invisible, he deserves better than being at Spurs, but up against a Dias masterclass he looked like a pub team player. It is surely between our Ruben and our Gundog for Player of the Year, although we all know it will probably go to some rag or some dipper.
I was made up for Fernandinho, he has been a magnificent signing for us, up there in importance with the likes of Yaya, El Mago and Sergio, he is the sort of player every team needs, he never stands out, but always stands out, because of the simplicity of his game. For him to be Captain and lift the trophy is a fabulous reward for him, lets hope he lifts two more before the season ends and stays for one more year. He knows he cant play every game, but his influence off the pitch is now as vital as Vinny's was before him.
It was fabulous to see Mahrez tearing Reguillon to pieces, the poor lad must have been dizzy. in all my time watching football I don't think i have ever seen a player with his ability to kill a ball dead, it is truly an art and he is an artful footballer in his pomp.
I could have mentioned many more players than the ones I have, because yesterday they were all magnificent and I adored the way they all celebrated together, the sight of Eddy congratulating Zack was great to see, it showed the unity of the squad and we will need that unity for the challenges to come.
Four League Cups in four years, that is an astonishing feat, lets hope we make it five and then six, then seven and so on, it is a trophy that is dear to me and should have been the first trophy I saw us win live but sadly the passing of my grandad meant I could not go to the Tueart final of 76 as I was only 10 at the time. I hope you are loving it Grandad because I know I am.
Finally a shout out for Sergio, it was a shame he never got on the pitch, but football has no room for sentiment sadly but he has played his part and deserved another winners medal as much as anybody. Lets hope we see his end of days at our beautiful club garnished by two more medals because he more than anyone deserves it.
Well done Pep, well done the team, well done the fans who were there, we are City, the best team in the land and all the world.
