Controversial possibly - but do we still need the iconic No. 9 jersey. In my 60 years it has been a bit of a crutch to a not too successful team perhaps it is no longer required as a talisman to past success?

Was watching on internet in a different room to wife and son - they (I thought) were playing a video game - they came in with big expectant smiles on their faces whilst I was still mentally blowing away every Liverpool attack - it was at that point I realised they had watched the final whistle on the TV and it was about 30 secs ahead of me and I cried. My wife said it was the most emotional I have been in 20 years. I never thought I would see NUFC win a trophy in my life- I turn 60 next month and today will be etched on my soul forever - I know that sounds OTT but unless you follow a club with no success (but some vinegar strokes) you wouldn't get it, it starts to get under your skin. We were magnificent and by far the better team on the day - fully deserved and I will have a joker smile at work tomorrow.

Clutching here - but could wor Eddie be keeping him away from their CB's and saving him for the final - I know as I type this it sounds far too conspiratorial.

Oh this is glorious

Rest in Peace - loved him.

WTF - my Gast is well and truly Flabbered.

My bipolar obsession with NUFC - win ecstatic, lose mope like a cowed dog - will finally be expunged if we were to win this. I am sure there are many other fans who suffer in the same way. This is an opportunity to remove the albatross from our necks, the monkey from our backs and the mote from our eyes (I know). IMHO - A victory here WILL set NUFC as a force for years and it will give all of us the freedom to support without the crushing anxiety - something serial winners do not understand. HWTL.

Personally I would prefer Liverpool - I would love to put the ghost of 1974 to rest - (I know I am ancient) - but I would die happy knowing we had beat those scouse fuckers in a final.

Fabulous speech - I heard it in Arthur Marston's voice from RDR2 - not sure if its yours or a copy and paste job - but there is no truth there - society has to bring all religion, gender, politics, hate, love, colour, creed together or WE as the human race will not survive. Think.

Is this the first victory at the mouse trap since 2013?? Absolutely brilliant - we are so on the up. Shame about Schar but wow - loving it.

IMHO the players who ran through brick walls for Eddie have stopped doing so. The passion is not there - I think there is more than just a "change the manager" scenario going on. My belief is not all is well behind the scenes - we have heard Trippier is in a bit of personal bother - Mitchel will need time to bed in his ideas - and dare I say it - I don't think Eddie and his backroom team are part of that. Love him and mad eye but perhaps it is the right time for change.

I see what you did there lol

If and its a big if - there are noises about removing Eddie then my (albeit fanciful) pick would be Simeone. However luring him here would be expensive and I have no idea if he would be interested - just think he would fit.

Too early
