Someone has to lose a final CGGY, I wouldn't get too despondent. Its a gut wrenching feeling, but yesterday was an absolute walk in the park compared to Arsenal at Anfield in 1989. We could lose the Champions League final to Man UTD to a last minute Gary Neville over head kick but that would still not be as bad as Michael Thomas' goal then.
Its still a good achievement to get to the Final and do down narrowly in extra time. Thats the thing with finals: you win some and you lose some, and losing the occasional final can actually be good for building a bit of character.
In 1987 we lost the League Cup final to Arsenal and finished trophy-less but went on to win the league Championship the following year. Yesterday was just another road on the journey to success.
Jolly Bob Grumbine.
