OT debacle laid to rest tonight. Back in the big leagues.

Win on Wednesday, and that cock-up last year would be another Fulham play-off final 'sliding doors' moment, for me.

But as the newest member of Paddy and CD's anti-jinx club, I'd like to say that we definitely WON'T win on Wednesday. Freiburg are going to hump us.

Best Manager since Saunders. I doubt he can ever win the league but with smart succession planning we could be at the elite level for longer.

He made us. We should be a 7th-10th club in the current world (I know it is shit but true) into at 3rd-6th club. We need to be Top 3/4/5/6 for rest of the decade and with a following wind replace Chelsea and Spurs.

He can win the league.

He's got us into a title race twice with limited resources relatively speaking.

If we had the same ability to spend as the Sly 6 we'd already have been champions once.

If he stays for a few years he will do it. 100%.

7th, 4th, 6th, 4th/5th.

At a time when the teams we are competing with are outspending us by loads. We just dismantled a side that spent over 400m this season. We spent 500 quid and a 4 pack of Curly Wurlies.

You're a wise gentleman, Rory. I don't agree with what people say about you.

If CD started it then I'm sorry to say it probably isn't a rumour.

He...knows things about me.

Can we now say that we are an established top 6 club?

I'm keeping my powder dry on that for another three or four decades.

He’s very clearly delighted it’s done before the final.

Not the only one.

There are not many times we hear him without his professional face on. We see it with the goal celebrations sometimes but it is rare for him to release it for us fans.

He's broken so many records for us and ended some of our shitness runs, I'd love to see a full list

Well done to Nas for realising no one was thinking big enough about what was possible — and for finding the one man in the world who could.
