Why was Zaha not booked for grabbing Gordon's neck?

Sorry, I didn't watch live, so am now going to give running commentary during the highlights

*Sets alarm to check back for your reaction to the Gordon tackle

[Mr PEN86]

Keane as a CF next season. No honestly, I'm serious ?

 

[MrGrumpy]

Do we reckon there loads of blues who stormed out the house or went to bed at 2-0 and still do t no we won

 

[TowerToffee]

I'm just numb. I've just got in from the game, I've got a splitting headache. On the Jack Daniels and drained of emotions. Just hasn't sunk in yet. COYB.

I got in 30mins ago , need a JD too in order to wind down .
We were pretty crap, apart from the 3 goals ?

 

[Street end man]

I hate Lewin.

No.9? Disgrace to the number

Not his biggest fan but he stood tall tonight and was a man mountain to be fair to him.

Confession.

I had to leave at 2-0. Could feel myself getting short of breath and my chest tightening and hasn’t felt well at all today. My nans grave is in the cemetarys so I went and sat there while my dad/bro stayed the game.

I’ve never felt so at peace hearing those roars. Yes I wish I had stayed but I’ve been in such a low place. I’m not spiritual but I feel like my Nan was watching over me there and got the job done. We have a small family and her loss was tough 9 years ago for me.

The relief. The sheer relief I feel like. Dark cloud has left me. Random drunk evertonian asking how longs left as I wait at the car smoking with nerve. Mentioned that I’d be at the cemetery. Big hug, kiss in the cheek and a huge night for us and me personally.

It’s FINALLY over.

Now send Leeds down please Brentford.

Personal Note: Please read to the end for the touching finale it is worth it Today is May 19th. It's also the day we beat Watford to win the Cup in 1984. How do I remember that so easily - well, it is, or in reality was, my brother's birthday. And he would have been 66 today were it not for his sudden death in 2005. My brother, Gary, wasn't really interested in football. He obsessed over cars and generally being a really nice guy - because that's what a lot of people with a type of Asperger's (or something approximating to AS) do. We did go to a few matches - and two in particular stand out in my memory across the first days of 1979 - Bolton away on New Year's Day - abandoned at half-time (1-1, Peter Reid injured for Bolton) - ice cold. 5 hour journey home slip sliding all over the road (which he obviously enjoyed) and Sunderland FA Cup (1-2) travelling by Football Special (or more precisely a 2 carriage ice box with no heating on). Not hard to forget those privations. Anyway I thought I'd take his picture of us (as children) with me tonight because we might need some extra support in the ground

And three or four times I brought this picture of us aged maybe 11 and 6 out.. and, really as the free kick for the winner approached I reached down into my pocket and touched the photo... As my son, unprompted and without any real knowledge also reached to hold me.. I don't know what I believe in but right then I felt raw emotion..

Ali and iwobi where great 2nd half. But for me I thought doucoure was outstanding. Dragging the team forward and tackling.
