Dumping ground for players who find it hard to accept that they are over the hill and no other team wants them. Offers the chance to earn a few more pennies, with the added opportunity to play in Europe. Perfect for Wilfried Zaha at that stage in his career - it's what he wanted, no?

"Roy's Shed"

1861 / 1905. Claret and Blue / Red and Blue. Glaziers / Eagles. It's about time for a change. I propose 2010 and "The Phoenixes". Shirt most likely Red and Yellow.

Glasner has proved he is a manager who knows what he is doing. The board needs to have a good think about how it plans for next season, particularly given that our slow start this season was partly due to leaving things too late with incomings and outgoings and as a consequence not giving OG...

I've just watched the game in full and for me Richards was MOTM, outstanding in the heart of defence time and time again.

Noteworthy to mention how everything fell into place at the right time, the players appear totally focused with OG's approach - it's just a case of fine tuning, Eze free and natural rather than overcooking the situation, Kamada, linking up play and being in the right place at the right time...

I recall Mark Hughes in 1990 equalising and the non event replay without Ian Wright and the disappointment thereafter. Even worse against Manchester United in 2016 with one of the most awful refereeing displays ever seen. All that during the most terrible time of my life as well, I didn't want...

I'd prefer that Franca had the opportunities from the subs bench that Nketiah has had. I feel certain he would have done far better. They both cost a fair packet too, one has to start performing.

A good convincing win and a nice aerobic warm up for the final. Good to see OG use the full range of subs and I think they will all play a part in some shape or form in the final.

I questioned why we signed him, I don't rate him although like most folk I thought he had to been given a chance to shine. Unfortunately once again he fluffed his lines completely with a woeful attempt straight at the keeper - it was as though he wanted to get rid of the ball as quickly as...

A fair result, both sides had some decent chances. As for Eddie Nketiah, he's like the kid in the playground who is trying so hard to impress and yet, for whatever reason, just doesn't have it. Relax Eddie, we want you to do well, although whilst Mateta is here you'll have limited game time.

In all honesty he needed to step up after a slow start. It can only be good for him and the club, so long may it continue!

Quite clearly OG has improved all the players in his charge. I must say that they appeared at home on the larger Wembley pitch, the front 3 in particular had acres of space to gallop into.

Magnificent result in which everyone contributed, a real team performance! Players who I'd held a question mark to all stepped up to the plate, every player 10/10. Special praise for OG in getting everything spot on!

We need another penalty taker , the likes of midfield generals like Milo and Jedi spring to mind. Aside from that, all's well. A good time to bring on Hughes too.
