Absolutely, the significance of that save shouldn't be understated. He's a great lad, a mad lad if you will

I thought it was off due to Woods leaning forward and Cash's outstretched arm being his furthest forward but it would have been tight and Emi did the right thing in not testing the principle.

He's unhinged, but I can't help but love this guy.
All keepers are unhinged, I should know.😜

It was a massive save and I lm pretty sure Wood was on.

Was also laughing in the ground at that nutter hanging on the cross bar, love him. Will be gutted when he’s gone.

You just know one way or another he’ll have a hige role to play in the final.

I think the lino got it right, his fee looked level but was leaning forward a lot as it was played and reckon he was about half a head off as a result. Was tighter than it looked in real time though.

What was that shit housing with the Forest pre-match huddle?

I fucking love that side of Emi.

He is the absolute best example of "you love him if he plays for you, but if he doesn't, you probably hate him"

That was good, basically pointing out they were in our half.

Absolutely. I pissed myself laughing at that one. Love him but love him more for the save with his feet to stop the shot from Wood. Brilliant keeper.

Followed by the sequel, "The Kid Who Palms Time Out To The Feet Of The Striker Waiting Six Yards Out"

(joking, obviously. W#1)

Top keeper in PL for ‘safest parries’.

I don't think it was top of his mind, it really was just to piss them off.

It seems to be pretty widely accepted that he's going in the summer. Why? Fuck that. Is there anything actually to it, or is it because there's an expectation it'll carry from last year?

I expect a lot is because of the saga last summer. I suspect it also depends on what has gone on behind closed doors and whether we have said we are still a selling club to the players.
