I remember leaving before the trophy was awarded and could not believe the amount of Arsenal fans leaving at the same time. These grifters in the big league just don't get it. I'm not sure who I feel sorry for the most.
I stayed (despite the disappointment), purely because I may never see the FA Cup ever being awarded again. Couldn’t believe how many Arsenal fans left before me. I’d have been there for hours, they’d have had to kick me out.
Yeah, playing in the FA Cup final and leading vs Arsenal was just so surreal. Even when we went 2 up, I just thought there was too long to go and never believed we would win, so wasn’t particularly emotional. I think it took a couple of weeks afterwards to actually realise what we had achieved and how close we actually were. We haven’t experienced losing a play off final. I suspect it is horrendous. My sister in law is a Boro supporter(). They apparently have a habit of losing at Wembley, so even though they were the form team going into last season’s play offs, they had no expectation of promotion and apparently a lot had no plans to go if they had got there.
Agree. In fact Boro's goal was almost a replica of Watford's (also scored after around 5 minutes) where they constantly overloaded our left side at pace and we struggled to cut out, or deal with, the crosses that came from it. Similarly at QPR. When Vinagre came on we instantly saw what could be achieved if we had players with pace being prepared to do the same.
Btw, still waiting. Was it the bit about the owner having higher expectations than top 10? Or Rosenior bringing in his ex's Connolly and Allsop? Or the owner adding Delap and Philogene and Lokilo? Or Rosenior having had 2 chances to balance our "unbalanced midfield" (somebody else's quote), and added another no.10 type and Morton (quality)? Or Rosenior bringing in Vinagre to solve our LB problem, letting Elder go (and Fleming fwiw) go. Or that he inherited some decent players, and has been well supported in 2 window, so it wouldn't be unreasonable to have play off expectations (which is pretty much near where we are)? No? None of those facts? Well, that's all that was in the post. So why the rudeness / attack (and of course the likes from you know who)?
