Yeah, I watched it very live (from the back of the Gallowgate) and thought it was a very even game particularly in the first half - in the second we controlled the ball a bit better and had the better chances then. 2-0 flattered us a bit; it looked very much like it was going to be another goalless draw, neither side was offering much threat at all, until the first goal went in. After the second it was one of the easier rides to the whistle I've seen.

The defence is clearly clicking better now, although I think it looked better before Babyaro came back. Boumsong is even winning the fans over again. Five games and only one goal against is nothing short of miraculous - we reckoned in the pub that the last time we saw that might have been 1999.

Oh, wouldn't it be lovely?

Incidentally, I take quite a bit of heart from that City win. Particularly with a second-choice defence, Alonso's injury and off the back of a niggly defeat in Europe. It's exactly the kind of game we'd typically lose or draw.

How come the bloody cup final is on sky? I thought the big finals were of cultural significance and had to be available to normal people?

I can't afford to go to the pub :(

The League Cup Final has been on Sky for years now. It's only the FA and World cup that have to be on terrestrial.
