Pulis would’ve been proud.

Did KDB get a touch for the first goal ?

Yeah Lindelof's attempted clearance hit De Bruyne and landed at Gundogan's feet

Just watching the game back over on Tv. Did the Casemiro Akanji incident in the 12th minute go to VAR. it looks to me that Casemiro went over the ball ?

No. Just gave a free kick for the scum, crazy.

Enjoy, 70 secs in, as you say top drawer.

Best attacking defender.

On the penalty only this to say. Virtually no-one in my block had even noticed that there was anything untoward.
The law as it stands requires that the penalty is given. The law as it stands is absolutely stupid, and must be changed in very short order. To say that if any part of the hand or arm is hit, from whatever distance, with the ball travelling at whatever speed, with the “offending” player having no agency in that incident whatsoever,it is to be sanctioned by a penalty is an utter nonsense and it's genuinely spoiling the game. I can honestly say, hand on heart, that if that penalty had been given at the other end, in our favour, I would have felt pretty ashamed.

The bbc commentator said that the handball law will be reviewed in the summer, and incidents like yesterday’s are part of that process.

Elated and a little relieved the Rags didn't put our treble dreams to a halt. You know they would have dined on that one for years..

Onward and upward to CL final one more!!

That is weird. I’ve known since about 2011 that the day would come where we’d play United in a cup final and when it did it didn’t disappoint.

That’s a brilliant montage.

Did you put it together?
