An apology to Caballero and Pellegrini

Postby nottsblue » Sun Feb 28, 2016 7:20 pm

I for one, and I think there were many others, wanted Hart to play today as I thought if Caballero played we would lose.

I could not have been more wrong. Those penalty saves were fantastic. Well done sir

I was torn, but will apologize for any doubt! Brilliant!

Add me to those apologising - the guy is a legend for that penalty shoot out (and that early save which was very important)

I wasn't one of those spouting bile at him for last week but I've never had confidence in him. With our misfiring attackers, that bloke won us the game with the origi header then the pens.

Legendary performance, he can take that as a career highlight today.

Not being smug, but I thought Pellers made the right choice. Willy was really quite good in the last games before the Chelsea game. That one was a stinker, but he showed quality as well with a couple of quality saves. I just thought it would have been too cruel benching him after one bad game after actually playing really well.

But, as Carl will tell you, I'm a soft twat.

Good to see Willy get a huge cheer when he lifted the cup.

Pellegrini is probably due an apology or two from a few folks to be honest.

Well done Willy. I think it was written for him, once it went to peno's.

Remiss of me not to include Pellegrini in the title. Amended accordingly.

What a game and Pellegrini got it spot on, not just the goalie, but the team selection and in the two preceding games as well. But for unusual wayward finishing from Kun and Sterling we'd have won the game comfortably. Three trophies already on the sideboard in three years and the chance of two more. Brilliant

I definitely owe him apology, thought it was the wrong decision to have him in the squad. Glad to be proved wrong!

I did not want him to play and was quite annoyed when I saw the team. However it worked, such are the fine margins in football. Large slice of humble pie here.

Just heard a nice little ditty from my brother at Wembley. To the tune of hokey cokey. Ahem:

Ooooh, Willy Caballero.
Ooooh, Willy Caballero.
Ooooh, Willy Caballero
He's got a massive cock.

I think it could catch on.
