I went to both matches but watching the replay last night (the FA streamed it on YouTube) I was surprised at the things I'd forgotten about, e.g:
  1. Liam Kelly.
  2. Easty coming up for the corner that lead to Holland's stunner.
  3. And again at the end of extra time!
  4. Newcastle wasting shedloads of good opportunities (actually, not so sure I'd forgotten that).
  5. Bruce taking Almiron off just before we equalised - he was the one keeping the ball in our half. Possibly the worst sub decision ever, although the crown might go to Sir Alf for subbing Bobby Charlton.
  6. James was still injured.
Things I hadn't forgotten:
  1. So much of our passing and moving was excellent. We are (were?) so good this season.
  2. Sykesy - what a match. He's been my favourite ever since he got here. Maybe not our best, but my favourite.
  3. We tired pretty badly in extra time and started hoofing it - not really a surprise.
  4. Cameron sooooooooooo pissed off at being subbed.
On the whole I enjoyed watching it back (apart from a couple of playback glitches) so might settle back with a Horlicks to watch the Wycombe match too.
