Perhaps there is a reasonable analogy from one who ... er ... knows a Spurs fan or two rather well. The CL semifinal comeback with 3 second-half goals v Ajax was a similarly special 'against all odds' occasion. It was a match and an accomplishment that will be remembered lovingly by every Spurs fan who saw it - always. But I can tell you, it's never, ever, thought about without at least a tinge of lamentation for what came next. The memories of this semifinal, as great as they'll be, will be less than they would've been should the final be lost. I'm really confident of that. 😐 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing doesn’t need thinking about and we need to take the momentum into this game. I think we’re all hoping we haven’t spent our points in that regard and we don’t do another Insipid error prone away day on the big stage. But if we do fail, I think there are still positives to be taken from the season that need to be built on. We have done better this season than last, sometimes the tight calls see you up sometimes they don’t. We are due a bit (more) luck to get this done in my view given the last few months. Either way tho 96 points, that semi, Wembley and the fans. What a selling point for the club recruiting this summer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank_Owl2,0 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 It was close but I think the ref got the time just about right (in the normal 90mins) when you consider Iorfa and one of their lads went down injured during the added time.

HoylandOwl Posted May 22, 2023 Author Share Posted May 22, 2023 26 minutes ago, BraddersTim said: So many interesting things about Palmers goal.. - For all Ferguson's moaning about time, the throw in drops to Clarke-Harris on the floor, if he boots that away into touch it's a strong bet that the ref would blow for full time and Peterborough are going to Wembley. Instead he miskicks it and it rolls out to Bannan. If Fergie wants to pin the blame somewhere, he needs to look at his Captain. - Bannan probably saw that ball coming to him and fancied a shot and we've all seen him ping them in from there, but we've seen them sail high and wide too, with the stakes that high he keeps such a cool head and lays off a lovely ball to Marv. - At Posh, at 2-0 down we had that attack in their box and Marv sent over a woeful floaty cross, right over everyone's head, they go down the wing and score straight away. I was fuming at him. This time he does the same, sends in a floaty cross, but it's a peach, just the right weight and again, cool as a cucumber to choose that option. - Flint, it's still not an easy cross to deal with, but he uses his experience to get up and nod it back straight into the danger zone, instead of trying to do something stupid like score himself and again, it's a perfect header. - Palmer, he's been CM all night, WTF is he doing in the CF position? But there he is, and just watch his movement to get in front of the defender to get to the ball first, it's like he's been a striker all his life. I keep watching that goal back, for the reaction, the scenes, but also...in its way, although it's a scruffy finish it's a perfect goal, made even more perfect because it was so avoidable by Posh, they had 1 and 3/4 feet in Wembley and fooked it up. Bang on Bradders, there's so much to admire about that goal. Just before we scored it we'd banged a free kick/cross too straight which their keeper snaffled up, so I thought it was a done deal with that one as the ball made it back to Dawson. I looked at the ref as Dawson had the ball, and he looked at his wrist and I remember thinking, don't look at your other wrist because it's done if he does.... Thank god he didn't! Dawson goes long, we end up with that throw.... and you described the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skamp Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 You also have to question their goalie's positioning as the ball is dinked in. He's the wrong side of his goal post when Palmer tucks it away. But hey ho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owling_Wolf Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 The third goal was a cracking team goal, too. The surging run and pass, the classic stepover, the rest just brilliant by James, like he'd been a striker all his life. And the sheer urgency on his face as he runs back. Moore did some job inspiring those lads to perform like that for over two hours. We crushed the life out of 'boro. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarrySpeakup Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I loved James' reaction too - I thought he was surprised by the stepover and didn't quite control it properly and just managed to toe poke it under the keeper I also loved Dawson's reaction to their goal - no sulking or head in hands - just got the ball straight out of the goal and got the ball back up for the kick off Back to the 4th goal - Palmer is on his way up but isn't even anywhere near the box when Vaulks is drying the ball with the towel. If he hadn't have dried the ball - like John Pearson was shouting - Palmer definitely wouldn't have scored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
