I have to say, mate, at 0-2 I thought you were dead and buried. Deulofeu was your ace in the hole though. Without bringing him on.....!!
Oh without a doubt - we all thought "here we go again" as our record in semi finals is shocking. I was a bit surprised he wasn't on the pitch from the start but Gracia is very much about picking those who have shown him they're on form and Gray started because of that. Everyone obviously raves about the goal but some of his flicks and passes etc. were pretty decent too. Mind, Deeney had the assist for both his goals and won and scored the penalty. I might be prone to a bit of exaggeration when it comes to our performance and the cup run in general though
Half of football is about hyping up your own players and performances when things are going well mate. It's why Moussa Sissoko should with the Ballon D'or this year.
Looks like Madrid are starting their tapping-up process for Hazard. Sky saying Chelsea want £100m but Madrid think they can get him for £85m seeing as he'll have just a year left in the summer. Gonna be an absolute horror show for Chelsea if their ban is upheld... ... Funny as **** too.
I'd be surprised if Chelsea would accept £100m, given their circumstances. It would prevent him from joining City on a free in a year though, I guess.
Some nice post-match comments from the players, too: Good luck in the final. Hope it'll be an exciting one.
