Queue the PR spins how this season is now a success after we made a final and how Maresca/Rosenior tried sabotaging it.

Of course Sooty gets the job along with Basil Brush and Kermit if we win the cup

Weird feeling to be in a FA Cup final given our recent turmoil.

The final will be on my birthday. I dread us getting battered by City.

Anyway, it’s always great to defeat Leeds no matter the circumstances.

Not a great game of football. We dominated the first half, mainly because Leeds didn't have any aggression to their game. Once they stepped up, our game fell apart like it always does, but Leeds didn't have the quality to do anything about it.

Hopefully not. Lets remember it was the 5 SD's that led to the fall out with Maresca and ultimately picked Rosenior as a suitable replacement.

The dramatics from Neto were quite embarrassing, but they did help take some momentum out of the game in the final minutes, similar to late substitutions. So, fair play to him. Also, f**k Leeds.

Anyway, Rosinoir's gone and we're in a final. Today feels like a significant step in the right direction.

Sanchez “ of course we are happy to be in the Final thats what we were working for, and it will be a great season”

WTF!!!

So we only wanted to be in a final and thats a great season?

We are in the mud

If we win the FA cup and finish 17th in the league, it’s a great season in my eyes

It was better than what we’ve seen in a while, the players clearly like Mcfarlane, wasn’t the best second half but we looked fairly comfortable; always nice to get into a cup final hopefully the boys can surprise us all and fluke a win against city

There were moments in that 2nd half where I was watching us and you could see why we struggle so much compared to other teams that like to pass the ball. We cannot handle being pressed, like at all, which is funny because our tactics under Maresca was all about baiting the press and playing through it. There were multiple instances where we would pick up the ball in the middle but instead of quickly passing through the lines, our players panic and play backwards with multiple Leeds players pressing hard. I look at teams like PSG and they have supreme confidence in themselves, they won't hesitate to play that pass through the lines. They see a player in space, they're taking it. There isn't a thought in their mind about potentially losing the ball in their own half.

The reality at this point is that the players we have just aren't good enough to play this way. After 3 years, you would think if they were good enough at it, they would have mastered it by now, but they haven't.

Tottenham finished 17th and won the Europa League last season, now there is a great chance that they will be relegated this season.

As much as I want to win trophies, I really don't fancy being relegated the following season.
