I can barely imagine life as a fan after we actually win something. A massive part of our identity will have been callously ripped away in an instant.

Class. did you go to a knit and natter group or just at home

Nice. How did you remove and affix?

Yeah. I was sober as a judge two years ago but I can't remember a thing about the game. I feel like we started with some aggression but it was game over in no time at all, with not a chance to speak of.

What you working on?

Hopefully the (unnecessary) explanation to fans effectively doubles as lobbying against PSR. The more aggro there is towards it, the greater likelihood of change.

The Sanusi shouts are wild. It's right that we rotate because the physical and mental toll on the players last night could weigh heavily, so it's not even about protecting them, it's about playing players who might want it more on the night. But not children lads, please. The injuries are a fucker atm, mind. Don't see any way Gordon doesn't play. 54's team makes sense.

I can't tell if I'm happy or sad that it's a Klopp-less Liverpool. Massive occasion. I share everyone else's vibe that something feels different this time. Last time we had no experience but that's exactly what we gained, now it's time to avail of it. Impossible to call this far off but my optimistic punt is that we'll win on penalties. Imagine that.

Wonder if that'll be that for Ange. Can see why they might have taken a punt in seeing if he could carry on his cup record, but without that what's the point?

Thanks mate, sorry to move goalposts but I've a feeling I might convince him if I can convince my uncle too. So provisionally +2, with no hard feelings if it can't work.

I don't think it matters. We'll beat either of them. If Klopp was still there then I'd want it to be them, but Newcastle vs Tottenham is a far more interesting final. We also might end up wearing the away kit which would be an amazing thing to see us lift a trophy in.

Glad to see Bruno's performance being celebrated but I'll always find it tough to enjoy anything by that pretentious whopper Jonathan Liew. He devalued his flowery, simile-laden word salad with that Saudi reference at the end, anyway, as if that had anything to do with Botman's "surgical terror" (🙄🤮). But yeah, the central point was correct. We bullied Arsenal and Bruno was fucking mint.

@BlazeT44 what is the capacity, do you know? I'd dearly love to convince my anti-social dad to join in.

Who was yours?

Honestly I sometimes feel like I'm half-faking it a bit, cos I don't want to miss out Same lads. Even if there's no doubt I'm still thinking about VAR in the moments after it goes in. Even if it's "that's not gonna get disallowed." Hey ho.

Can someone please explain to me what is the fucking point of mic-ing the ref up to the stadium speakers? What in God's name is that adding to the whole thing? Who needs it? Who in the ground is so clueless that they need assistance understanding that a goal's been disallowed?

Motm for me tonight. The defenders all did a stellar job, but there's solid rearguard performances and then there's what Bruno does, which is defend resolutely and carry the ball out of defence, and rattle opponents, and stoke the home crowd, and get involved in more attacking moments. He's just a brilliant, brilliant CM and a true leader in his own right.

Sounded absolutely marvellous on the tele; great to see/hear. The bear pit we needed it to be and a huge credit to everyone who roared the lads on tonight. It'll probably always catch fire for those particularly rare occasions. Bemoaning the unnecessarily subdued atmospheres is fair enough but we should still take pride in how SJP still turns it up to 11 with more gusto than most places. Knock it down.

Sorry, yes, just me.

Would love to join in this time if poss.

Magnificent effort across both legs. Richly deserved. There's Doris.

Pahaha that catch followed by the swagger from Dubs. He's been brilliant across this tie.
