There's a lot to unpack there. Let the emotion hit you whatever way. Not everyone cries or whatever. But maybe it hasn't sunk in yet that it's real. Or maybe because the nature of those excruciating injury time minutes may have altered the pure joy. But whatever way it doesn't change that your team has finally done it

Looked like classic symptoms of cramp so wouldn't worry. Just showed he left everything he had out there. But yeah that assist perfect. Don't remember him ever winning a header so to do it now and put it right on his buddies toe, perfect.

Was a blessing he got to play a warm up against West Ham. Someone must have said to him, don't be afraid to put it in with your left. Thought he was excellent. Played with real confidence in himself.

So i know we were all properly too terrified to believe, but that first ten mins or so after all of our players had a touch did anyone else get the little tingle of hope? Started for me with Trippier winning his first duel, then Tino went on a positive run and I just thought "hello, there up for this, it might not be the usual not turning up". All of them were near perfect, the only slip was the Bruno failed pirouette that led to the goal, which shows just how clinical they can be if we had gifted hem anything else. But no criticism of Bruno he was great apart from that. But despite everyone player great big standouts for me were Burn, Joelinton, Livramento and Tonali in terms of overall performance. Murphy Isak and Barnes did the business aswell. Trippier great first half and managed his injury or whatever he had well 2nd half. Love them all. They are all heroes. I still can't believe it finally happened.

Boys should be floating on air. That's a massive weight off our shoulders and the fans should be buzzing their tits off for every game now. So I'd like to think we're gonna gather some momentum and smash these next ten games. Depended on injuries and how much today took out of some of the lads ofcourse. But with an international break, if the boys that aren't playing can rest up and hopefully the Brazilians boys aren't too tired when they get back. We should be buzzing for that next home game.

What an unbelievable performance. He's tall enough but he looked ten foot tall today, with the England call up and then to not put a foot wrong all game, mopping up everything that came in the box and to score the goal every Geordie has dreamed of as a kid. Legend.

Literally gave everything he had today. Enjoy it lad, you're part of history.

Difference maker. Probably wasn't even fully fit, but give him a chance and he scores.

Absolute monster. Literally embodied everything about what it means to us all and roared us home. Love him.

Another Colossus among many. Helped bring it home. Covered every blade. Put him in that team two years ago and we possibly get a different result then to.

Thought he was fucked with injury first half but he was a stand out performer first half. Was winning every duel and right up for it, helping to organise. Saw him crying at full time and it looks like this meant alot to him. So chuffed for him and helped redeem himself after the last difficult year or so and is now part of history.

The fucking man.

Fucking get in boys. Can't believe it. So happy. What a game, what a group. Chuffed for everyone

Ugh feels horrible this pregame nerves. Good luck everyone, praying this is our moment. Shame we're stuck with the sky coverage even on itv. Wish could switch off commentary.

What an awful choice. The problem with sky is you'll have a commentary team of that Liverpool and Salah sycophant Peter Drury and ofcourse unbiased Jamie Carragher on co-comms. Itv are usually the pits for commentators too but atleast might be able to tolerate whoever they have.

Been a staunch no chancer for awhile, especially since the red card and the injuries. Was trying to protect myself out of desperation so that another Wembley defeat wouldn't hurt as much. But as each day ticks by I keep finding my brain saying "yeah, but what if we do it....." Damn you hope, you get me every time!

Brahim has been awful since coming on.

The gall of him to walk around in a strop considering it was him who took that atrocious penalty . Should be busting a gut to make amends.

Genius bit of punditry there from Karen Cairney. "Who do you fancy in this derby Karen?" "I'd have to go with Madrid"

Yeah disagree about 1 more good season out of him. He has zero pace as it is, so it's not like him slowing down due to age would really make a difference. He looks like the sort of player who will keep a similar steady level til mid 30's.

From what I have seen of Liverpool, and again in moments last night, yes they have undoubted technical quality, but alot of the time it feels like forced chaos. You see it when Salah bulldozes his way through, or Jota, they just play at such a frenzied chaotic pace that the ball seems to just ricochet their way most of the time and they force errors. I watched a few of their attacks and if it wasn't for PSG having incredibly athletic defenders, Liverpool would have scored far more. Some of those chances if they are up against Burn or Schar or Trippier will be heart stopping. On the flip side, it looks like the only way to get at them is to be on the front foot and try and get down the side of them and stay away from VVD who is like a magnet and reads the game so well. We are going to need Tonali to have the game of his life and mop up every counter attack if we don't park the bus however.

I was so pissed off with him getting himself suspended, mainly because I just had a feeling he was going to put in a massive performance in the final and be a real nuisance. I feel he was one of the few we really couldn't be without to have a chance. The others were Isak, Tonali, Hall and Botman and we already lost two of them aswell. So it's gonna be a hell of an ask but just gotta hope the whole team can play the game of their lives.

Bournemouth's fixtures look favourable aswell and can see them picking up a good haul from their next few. It really is going to be impossibly tight and unfortunately leaves very little room for slip ups. If you drop points there's 4-5 teams that can take advantage.

He even does the same, can't look you in the eye while I'm talking, thing that Ashley used to do.

How bad was Nunez btw. Every single thing he did was shit. Actively made them worse when he came on. Still can't get over those two goals against us, everything since has been garbage.
