Yup, a perfect tone.

This.

Please.

That hoodoo felt like the heaviest thing in the world; but now, it's not like a weight off our shoulders for me, it's more like realising that it was a fuss about nothing. We out-thought them and bossed them off the pitch, it was that simple. Unbelievable day.

It's nice to be feeling a tad smug isn't it?
UTV!

Re the "rules don't apply" their Argentinian Martinez was more than lucky to stay on the pitch - elbowing Bailey, out of control tackle (I think on Ramsey). Thought he had a very poor game without Varane beside him. Hope he continues in the same vein on Thursday.
