Just enjoy the fact we’re in another final. Analyse it tomorrow.

I know but he could have put the game to bed. Why he cut inside into traffic and then played a lousy pass is anyones guess.

I'll have nothing ill said of Richard Osman on here. I've met the gangly bastard when I was on Pointless and he was really nice. 

As nice as Martin Tyler?

Draws kill you in this league. 

[Rushies tash]

Can we spare a thought for the brave Sky commentary team tonight who, despite a gallant effort to cry it in for Fulham, and being denied two penalties, leave empty handed.

[Tarwater]

We played more or less well with our starting eleven, but subs made us worse. Elliot and particularly Gravenberch were poor, and Gakpo just irritates me, as he always does that shield the ball movement even when a clear run towards goal is on and as a result seems too cumbersome.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Another final, and that’s what mattered tonight!

 

On the performance I thought it was very good for about an hour, only thing missing was one or two more goals to reflect our domination. Pressing was brilliant, they created nothing and our quality was the reason. After out subs we let them into the game, but we got it over the line and Wembley is the reward. Really starting to look like a team this!

 

Van Dijk and Mac Allister our best players I thought. Diaz good until he ran out of steam, Bradley with another convincing game, Quansah and Elliott both decent and Gomez with another solid performance. Robertson and Tsimikas returning will provide more options, but not really sure if it makes the first 11 better to be honest.

[gkmacca]

Decent performance, some great passages of play, very professional. Another Chelsea final? Feck's sake. Wake me when it's over. But well done, those players, it was a fine effort.

There is nothing in the world more beautiful than a broad smile from Klopp after a win.

Van Dijk’s?

Certainly killed Fulham.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Grab your things, we've come to take you home.

[Creator Supreme]

Neg all you like, but because of profligate finishing and stepping off the gas we were a brainfart away from extra time.

[redinblack]

We can't be great all the time. We have players coming back and we did enough. I'll take it

[Anubis]

Let’s put this in perspective. Out there tonight we had Kelleher, Quansah, Bradley, Gravenberch and Elliot. Against a decent side on their home turf. And they took us into a final. That’s pretty good going.

1-3 down in the tie and still booing Harvey who played a grand total of three games for them, 5 years ago, and ironically cheering any missed shot on goal we have. Fucking morons, this lot. 

 

By the way @Bjornebye and @SasaS Yes I got the job. Lost my previous one on 3rd Jan but this one is a step up in every way so I'm fucking made up. Also, off to Fuerteventura tomorrow. After a wank 12 months, life feels good today. 

 

New job

In threes. Fucking get in. 

[KMD7]

Good result. Pereira and Diop can fuck off.

Don’t panic just yet. There’s still one more chance to stop us. You’ll be able to throw your weight behind Chelsea in the final.

But it didn’t happen , cheer up and enjoy it you miserable get.

Underdogs thru! Well deserved. Wembley! Here we come! Wembley Wembley here we come!

Mad, isn’t it? 

 

Never even seems like a risk with Klopp when we play a young fella. They never seem nervy with his support.

Moving to the AXA has probably made a massive difference with this. Easier to slot straight in when you've already been mixing with the senior team and having regular chats with Jurgen and the occasional hug, rather than suddenly feeling like you've graduated to big boy school and having to shake off the nerves while also trying not to disappoint

Exactly.  We started that game with just three of our best side. 
 

I thought the first subs lost us control, the second subs steadied the ship and after that we saw it out fairly comfortably.

I went off calling Martin Tyler a cunt for Lent and now I've had to  break my pledge.

Did anyone bottle Hinchcliffe’s tears so I can have a swig?

Looking forward to us losing the final?
