It's a cliche but ain't football a funny game. Who, after that dreadful 1st half display, would have bet on us ending up in the Champions League by 6.30?!

Well done to the players and to Sarri who has been heavily criticised (not least by moi) .

Let's now win the Europa which will have the added benefit of denying the Arse a CL place.

Completely agree with all your comments MDW. Many football cliches came to mind yesterday: funny game, small margins (esp. when watching AFC v Brighton to see whether AFC might falter so we could get top 4), game of two halfs etc.

Do hope we can win the Europa Cup now (and will be at the Bridge on Thursday to see if we can get to the final, though getting to Baku probably beyond me) not least for reason you mention!

Given degree of chaos last summer in transfer window that included late arrival of Sarri, we have had a better season than - at many times - I thought possible. We were in League Cup final of course and perhaps a bit unlucky not to get a win there. Now let's win on Thursday and in Baku! Oh, and hope that our transfer ban appeal upheld/ ban postponed at least.

I would MDW but yes football is a funny and wonderful game.

Can I also say the support at the match was superb.
