Wasn't expecting a very good game before KO and it lived up to that billing. Our start (first 25mins) was actually way better than I was expecting and as usual, we could have put 2 or 3 past them in this time.
I'm actually a bit irked that we didn't sneak 3rd, I think were deserved it on balance of the season.
Anyway, Poch said before a ball was kicked that he was expecting this to be a very hard season and boy he wasn't wrong. So much of the clubs resources dealing with the stadium. Most of the team still at the World Cup for the final stages meaning about a week of pre-season, remaining at Wembley which with every passing game became just became a torrid chor. Injury, following injury (hopefully due to the World Cup exploits, I say hopefully because if it wasn't then we need to look at what we are doing). Playing at Stadium MK, playing only PL clubs and rivals in the League Cup all away from home, losing to Chavs in another semi-final when on any previous occasion we would have gone through on away goals. Having no midfield.
All in all, we've done well.
Scum playing on Thursday night because they are shite. And to finish the season in the final of the biggest Club Cup competition on the planet is beyond our wildest dreams.
