Did you enjoy yesterday?
Black or white no jokey third option
When you are 80 you will remember this game, the palace 3-3... You will remember the FA cup being a great comp for underdog courage and upsets.. Before it became irrelevant both domestically and internationally as the European superleague dripping in filthy money takes our jumpers for goalposts soul... You won't remember the brighton pen win... Choose life, choose chaos. |

I did. Match thread was popping, the game itself was incredible drama, and just when it seemed out of reach, we managed to win in classic underdog style. Can see us doing the same to City, Antony to slap Pep’s shiny head when we score a late winner in the 12th minute of injury time.

I was with two of my oldest mates who turned up and surprised me for the weekend and we had a great day, so yes.
As for the football as much as I’m glad we won it, it was a painful watch and all I could think is that City are going to muller us in the final. I just hope we somehow pull something out of the bag but based on that yesterday I just can’t see it. |

It was enjoyable in the way I imagine a parachute jump would be until the moment you pulled the rip-cord and your old dirty laundry came out instead of a parachute, with the only comfort being at the end when you land heavily on your bed and realise it was all just a really bad dream.

Not really. Part of it is not being able to see past city humiliating us in the final. And I wouldn’t feel like that if we weren’t such a shambles. I thought yesterday was always going to be a struggle but when we were three up I was thinking, ‘I’ve completely misread this one’ and then boom, we collapsed.
Thought our crowd was poor (it didn’t sound good on the tv anyway) and our routine collapse absolutely typical of where this team is at. I remain desperate for Erik to make all my criticism of him look stupid but the stuff we end up doing has the opposite effect. Antony doing his ear cup was the final straw of a good day gone bad. My lasting feeling of the match was one of embarrassment. About as far away from those matches against Palace and Oldham in 89/90 as you can get. |

And being one toe away from losing. I enjoyed it until the 70th minute because it genuinely looked like we were going to cruise to the final whistle.

No.
My wife is usually quite tolerant of my moods when I'm watching us [she has had 36 years to get used to it after all], but yesterday even she came into the room and said 'If it is making you that angry, switch the f****** thing off'. My wife very, very rarely swears and I am getting the silent treatment this morning. |

There were moments of enjoyment. I'd describe winning as tempered relief that we are avoiding the upheavel a defeat would have brought while beginning to process the near certainty that we are going to lose a second consecutive cup final to city.
At 3-1 I thought we were in trouble and at 3-3 I felt very little either way other than gutted I had to be subjected to another 30 minutes of us doing whatever it is that we do. When they scored the fourth I was actually quite relieved that we would avoid a final pasting though I did very much enjoy Rasmus in the shootout having his moment. |
