Down to 10 men, second half of extra time, home grown talent scores, it's like 1985 all over again....
I think I was calmer during the final minutes in Barca in 99, and the penalty shoot out in 08, than I was watching this game. It was starting to look as if it was our day, after hitting the post, having Clattenburg do his best to give Palace the cup. Then up pops the two from our discussions the other day. Mata and Lingard, they said in commentary that Mata was close to coming off just as he scored, and he was the one I was thinking of at that point for changes sake. Then Lingard goes and does that, we've seen him hit a few very good shots like that over the past season, but that one will live long in our memories.
Rooney again was outstanding, it's early days in this role, but to get rid of him would be the craziest thing ever, he'll get better and better in this role. I dare say he could have another 4 or 5 years in that role yet.
