Ridic post and comment and now looks even more ridic. Out of all the negative and non insightful posts this was worst ..

Great thread. Reading that was just like being at the match with all its highs and lows.

I was proud to say that I was one of the 25 that predicted a win.  Insightful?  No, just blind optimism.  I had the journey from hell to get there thanks to huge queues on various sections of motorways, closed roads, truck fires, etc, all the time thinking "Is this a sign not to go".  But got there I did to watch a spirited first half, backs to the wall defence.  And the second half a team that just didnt show any fear against a hugely expensive, and it has to be said a very good team.  I dont think we beat a great team playing badly, I think we did it on our own.  I did notice that Bacuna had really got under Nasri's skin.  Their best player, and yellow carded because of a lash out, and subsequnetly withdrawn to save himself.  (I did notice him kick Bacuna in the arse later on).  And Bacuna was just brilliant.  Man of the match, but I thought the team as a whole were terrific.  My favourite match in five years of being an ST holder.  Buzzing all the way home.  Bacuna Matata!
