Exactly, that’s the monent I realised that the captain for the final didn’t need an armband. Good for Bruno accepting it, too.

Finally found time to watch the whole match again. Still fucking brilliant. What a performance. Watching Howe on the sidelines being totally concentrated and focused on the match watching his game plan getting executed actually made me remembering the total disaster of Bruce and his jurassic approach to football and tactics. Also from watching the match I realised how much of a captain‘s performance we sawvfrom Trips. He not just played really well he took charge of organising players as well as talking to the ref. Last I want to add: Zonal marking? My. Arse. Slot is a lying buffoon. They obviously thought of Burn actually not being a great threat and therefore could get man marked by MacAlister. He was marking Burn whereever he was placed in the box, not just at the far end of the box but also directly in front of goal as well as in shorter positions. They really fucked this one up tactically.

That‘s the plan. And the day before I will relegate a local team.

Back in Germany, sitting on a train that managed to go in the wrong direction. It was already 25 minutes delayed. Vorsprung durch Technik my arse.

That’s equivalent to being ahead at half time but keep losing in the end tbh.

I am at the airport waiting for my flight. It’s been a fantastic couple of days with the purest excitement I have ever experienced watching football. The joy of Germany winning tournaments doesn’t compare to what happened yesterday.

Am having a coffee to sober up while going through the papers. What a brilliant morning.

I still can’t believe that it was 95 minutes of pure perfection and if Bruno hadn’t tried to do something spectacular we would have had a clean sheet. But even then we were solid in seeing the game out.

They are both celiacs and Schär is the major company producing gluten-free products. Fabian sharing the surname and being really handsome does help as well.

Balls bigger than our TV. Legend.

I said to Alex yesterday that the player I would be most pleased for if we win would be Joelinton. He was massive today and one of the main reason we actually turned up today. The way he won duels and the way he was celebrating it showed his character. I can’t remember ever seeing a player rising that high after being considered a flop.

Shame for him to miss out, unfortunately a sale that was needed. But good for him to be still emotionally involved.

My (good) family at home were watching and celebrating too.

I think Eddie has won enough matches to finish the season with us. Well done.

I haven’t seen a ref as fat since I was playing youth team football btw.

Tino‘s cross with his left for our second was marvellous as well.

but, but, but…

Fair play to him. Not a sore loser for a change.

After getting Blyth relegated I think I deserve some credit for not going to Wembley but watching it in the Strawberry instead. Well done me

Sorry about that, I am probably banned now.

I will look out for this one. Cracking name for a pub tbh.
