What a disgrace. AZ fans targeting West Ham player’s families. I hope UEFA throw them but then knowing UEFA they will blame West Ham players for trying to protect their loved ones.
What an incredible comeback and a flawless shootout. Someone in here is flying!
Well that will go down in history #Wednesday
An astonishing achievement.
Yes, somebody here will be ecstatic.
In any case, I devoutly hope that they can go on to win it.
What an unbelievable comeback for Wednesday. Possibly the game of the season in England...wow! Absolutely soul crushing for poor Peterborough though.
I've been following Columbus since they were founded (how many Premier League fans can say that about their clubs? 🤣), though I didn't start getting to matches with any regularity till the later 2000s. The year they won the title in 2008 I just happened to be spending a lot of time in the Columbus area and caught a lot of games, which was very lucky.
Liverpool - probably about 20 years. I was really a neutral for years before that, and if I could do it all over again I might keep it that way. People can get a little over-precious about tradition and history in the sport, But Liverpool's club history is truly fascinating, as is the history and identity of the city itself. I come from an industrial town, so I was always going to be gravitating towards clubs from England's northern industrial cities.

Been a Saints fan for 43 years.
Whole family are Brummies and I should be a Villa fan, but I went to the Dell at age 11 and trained with the squad, which included the then-European Player of the Year Kevin Keegan and many other quite big names.
sealed my fate and I have been a Saint ever since.
My uncle was Asst Manager under Lawrie McMenemy (and others) for many many years. Family connections and all that.

US footballer John Harkes played for THE MASSIVE back in '93... So '93ish... ? It's been a while...
You must be ecstatic. Hopefully the momentum is with you now. The play offs are terrible for the nerves. I remember all too well.
I'm not going to say I've seen everything but...
Also, we're going up ...
With West Ham getting through to the Europa final the end of season relegation battle will now be more interesting because I cannot see Moyes fielding his strongest team in the clubs last two matches knowing that the club is safe from relegation with him now wanting to rest key players and prevent them from getting injured in the last two league games, games which will determine who stays up and who stays down.
You can already see in the UK media how heavy they are going in on West Ham getting into a European competition final which will pile on the pressure on Moyes and West Ham meaning there will be an expectation that Moyes puts his efforts into the Europa final rather than the last two league games. I am sure West Ham fans would want Moyes to play a C team for the last two league games so the club has the best chance possible of fielding their strongest team for the Europa final. Remember, this is a tactic that Premier league managers have used for years.

It's this match, or Wrexham vs Notts County. Both absolutely riveting.
And you're spot on about Peterborough. I can barely imagine...
UP THE OWLS!
Anyone got a bede on the beer he's drinking?
No, I'm afraid that that red label is not familiar to me.
But, I would hazard a guess that he is close to deliriously happy..
Well, I quite enjoyed seeing Pep Guardiola’s Man City side get revenge for last year’s debacle. Think after so many years and effort he deserves a trophy more than Real Madrid.
Oh dear.
Arsenal are a goal behind at Nottingham Forest.
Zinchenko, Martinelli - and obviously, Saliba - are all injured and the squad are exhausted.

Arsenal look like a mentally deflated team that now wants the season to end so they can get a break from football.
Looks like City win the title today without kicking a ball as things stand
