What a game. After ten mins I was set to cry.

Cazorlas goal, what a beauty.

Kosc goal was just necessary and Ramsey finished it with a sublime cool finish.

Great game. Hull were great and should consider themselves to have had a great season. Game could have gone either way, but felt once arsenal got the first was just a matter of time before we came through.

3 - 2. A top quality winner.

Felt for Hull though... Still - staying up, a Wembley final and qualification for Europe. A great season for them.

Qualified for Europe???????

For finishing as also rans?

Fa cup finalists qualify for Europe. Only way they wouldn't have would have been if arsenal had dropped out of the top 4. In that case, the winner takes the Europe spot.

Cos arsenal are already in, hull take it.

So, does anyone think that the James Milner as full back experiment actually worked?! Wasn't watching that closely last night as it was Our Gerts birthday and apparently watching footy didn't count as spending quality time together but everything I saw him do was disastrous!

Injury to Ox as well, did we used to have all these friendlies before big tournaments in the 'good old days'? Only seem to cause troubles...

Any of the "big" teams would have annihilated England last night...........Lets hope they buck up their ideas before next month.

It was an experiment that should never be repeated so hopefully that's out the system

Re friendlies, they've had them for years now, it's traditional to do badly before a major tournament - think it's meant to set the expectations at the right level, think we'd already done that though anyway!

Come on Ireland.........oh wait

I cannot see England doing alot in the World Cup

For me the real heroes landing in Normandy 70 years ago.

Apologies to anyone who doesn't like football but felt I must show this goal from yesterday, it'll be a long time before we see one like it again:

I remember seeing Pat Jennings do exactly that in the then Charity Shield in 67/68

You can't lock him up for scoring a goal..............

[roger james]

Great goal - you don't see that very often

Unlucky last night Snadge, the Ref had a howler IMO. Both were bookings at the most, never sendings off.
Anyways as a LUFC fan, all I need now is for Cardiff to beat Brighton & us to beat Villa then I'll be a happy chappy.
