You can actually see the fear in Diaz's eyes when he realises what's about to happen

Can we talk about this moment too. How the **** him and Isidor kept that ball and enzo goes on to win the free kick was class. Then the passion after, that’s when I really believed we’d done it.

If I remember right too he has the bollocks to take a short free kick backwards and ends up getting it down the byline and puts in a class cross but we had no one up front.

And he’s all ours now

 

It's staggering that Coventry and Sheff Utd fans have totally dismissed Le Fée as useless ...

... seriously, how can football supporters know so little about football.

It really is bizarre.

 

We scored 5 goals in the playoffs, he directly set up two, he was the penultimate pass in another and his press caused the mistake for another. Contributing to 4 out of 5 goals in the biggest games in our recent history is useless then I’ll take that anyday. Proper footballer and has a bit bite about him too.

 

It's what fans do:

na mate all their players are ****e we win easily they are over rated.

Oh we lost but we were unlucky and were the better team they won't be as easy each week we I'll definitely finish above them.

Yeah they got promoted but they will finish in the lowest total ever they were ****e against us so no way do they win a match in the Premier league!

 

And it's clear he's not played at his best yet ...

... not only that, his team mates aren't yet on the same wavelength.

 

Despite coming here as a bit of a coup as a really gifted and flair player his clips should he had fight in him and got stuck in and he has shown that and passion to go witht the skill. Those attribute together makes a fan favourite!

 

Yep, coming back off injury too and barely played before he signed up. Bloody exciting times.

100%. Got played out of position bar a couple of games including the final. Didn’t sulk and grafted like **** on the left. RLB knew what he was getting and thankfully the club backed him on that one, couldn’t have been an easy deal to get done.

 

Triple like from me

 

Le Fee will be our main man next season. RLB knows him and trusts him. There was a break in play on Sat, possibly after we scored and they were making subs? ELF is over by the touchline and RLB is giving him the instructions on how we are to play.

The reason he played him on the left wing is because he trusts him and ELF knows how RLB wants his teams to play.

 

His celebration after he wins the free kick right at the end is arguably my favourite moment of the game

Goosebumps

 

The social media and pr for the club is top notch these days like!

Saw an interview with Neil where they a
mentioned how til the end was very apt and he said to be fair the pr team need a raise for that one!

It's just so professional these days it's excellent

 

Not sure who the lead commentator is but he’s had some class lines for us over the years.

One of englands great clubs is truly reborn. Class man.

 

Everything about the club atm is on point.

this is the first time in years, everything feels right.

 

But they’ve also said rudoni is better than Foden and maddison

 

Twitter tells me that Rudoni would command a "British record transfer fee" if he was sold

 

Roberts is up there with Enzo too.
