Lots to love tonight. Delap may not have scored but the way he was able to hold the ball up and play a progressive pass could be hugely significant. Hopefully the team is now more confident in the alternatives to the Cold one and we become less over dimensional as a result

How's Mathis doing? Teaching now, hence no time for pitch side photography alas. Mathis was briefly a student of mine😁

To me! (a man) it's not intrinsically sexual. We don't ask men to sit in certain positions so we shouldn't be expecting it of anyone who's not a man either.

Did you see the colour of him when the trophy/massive trophy ballon was reflecting in his face. Utterly bizarre

Managers keep picking him for the biggest games. Must tell you something

Who knew. Just don't let Trump get involved with the trophy presentation now please xx

Faultless, EM. Every call right, even Gusto. The future is bright, even if next year is a long haul now

It's nuanced. Society gives men more "power" than women and this should be acknowledged, but the wider point still stands.

The woke mind generally doesn't conflate black with bad and white with good.

I could never believe any girl (actually on reflection, gender is unimportant here) of 14 is sufficiently developed mentally to be in this situation with a person with power. It simply cannot be an equal decision and has to involve coercion and should never happen.

Just need a red for the stripey twats in Newcastle then

Ask them their opinion. You might even find some want to join you after a day's work.

Sadie is great. We've met her. Lovely soul
