I'm still in disbelief we beat Liverpool, let alone the whole Cup final thing

Long overdue, the officials have done their best to keep their record intact, dubious VAR calls, penalties not given to us and given to them, ridiculous amounts of injury time....but we were just too good yesterday

It cannot be overstated how each and every player played their part, everyone grew yesterday, played out of their skins, every single one of them went there to win and put everything on the line to do it, they might not be perfect and we will lose some in the summer but they gave everything for that win. Trippier so calm and level headed, showed his experience, Burn was everywhere, so deserved that goal it was a proper movie moment for him, Schar was solid, Livramento kept the best player in the league silent all game, gave him absolutely nothing (0.00xG), the midfield 3 were flawless, Joelinton was an absolute beast, Murphy and Barnes creating all kinds of trouble, earning free kicks and picking up the 2nd ball, some good crosses into the middle and then there's Isak who scored the all important winning goal, playing through injury and giving their back line all kinds of headaches. Then you have Howe, Tindall and Jones who orchestrated it, wrote the perfect script and ensured it was executed with precision, just brilliant from everyone.

Got a text right after the final whistle from a colleague saying congrats, best team won, enjoy it etc. Good stuff.

 

Who was it on here that put up the work e-mail/company briefing that went round.  Where the NUFC fan was really eloquent and respectful.  Then the Liverpool fan was an arrogant wankpiece going on about stats and how they're going to batter us.

 

We need to see the follow up from that

Who would bet against us getting that CL spot now?  Really not expecting any more flat performances now for the start of the run in 

[TheInfiniteOdyssey]

Best day of my life (or second best if I’m lying to my wife).

 

Still in total disbelief, this changes everything.

That was me. Doubt we’ll hear anything from the Liverpool fan again

Apologies if Giggs, haven’t been through the entire thread so not sure if already mentioned. Did I imagine it a couple of weeks ago that talk of any open top bus parade was that it was going to be put off until the end of the season?

[Steve Charlton]

That Bunce fella seems a popular chap watching the celebrations back.Only Hall and Mitchell missing yesterday

Half past midnight kickoff, finally stumbled to bed pissed as a fart about 4am.  Up again at 6 for work.  Felt like shit but at the same time absolutely flying.  7/7 WBA.

[Holloway]

Can't say I was taken by the fanzone experience, loads of lads off their tits and not fully focused on the match, one massive screen and one slightly smaller, but 7 foot Geordies planting themselves in front of you. And playing music over the footage in between and after, numbskulls 👎

[Wolfcastle]

That gutteral raw on the full-time whistle is lush.

Usually its a peep-peep-peep and a 'yaaaaay' but that was like a big goal. Think it all came out there from those that experienced the near misses first hand and those it was passed down to, the massive doubt were inflicted with.

Liberty Rooms absolutely blasted some shite pop at ear-splitting volume the moment the final whistle went.  so unnecessary. 

[Lush Vlad]

VVD has gone up in my estimation.  May be a bit of a snide fucker and arrogant on the pitch.  But seemed to be genuine as fuck with Burn at the end and then he waited for our celebrations to die down to shake everyone's hand.  

 

Slot sort of praised us.  But also passive aggressive in half-moaning about how we were direct and slow with our play.  Whenever managers or pundits talk about direct, crosses, headers etc.  It's always as if they're complaining about it.  Not everyone wants to play boring, possession football with passing for passing's sake all the while.
