Didn't go into ET so shouldn't be too much different to a standard Saturday game. Got 4 new fresh players to come in plus Agyei back available.

I noticed the “Kilmarnock Os” flag was back in its attention seeking place. I remember when they were screaming and shouting at what a disgrace the team were and having a go at those who darwd to clap the players off when they lost at home to Derby 3-0 down to 10 men a year ago.

There’s a lot of people who need to keep quiet tonight and let those who have continuously supported this group of players celebrate.

The club is in a great place right now, long may it continue.

Galbraith and Donley have added a million to their valuations and Keeley half a million and hopefully the day has added a million or more to the bank balance.

Also, respect to Man City. Grealish went and shook the hand of every Os player; the City fans applauded the Os players as they went past their section and Pep raised his arms and clapped the stands and the Os fans in them.

De Bruyne walked off almost straight after the ref blew the full-time whistle. I don't think he even applauded his own fans. I could call him something, but I won't denigrate myself to do that.

This afternoon will live in the memory.

Obviously City were the better team and had much more quality. They should have had a pen and Cooper could easily have been sent off. But the number of chances we created was incredible and Happe should have buried his opportunity at the end. Their first goal was a proper fluke and their second came during what was a pretty comfortable period for us. That it took £150m of talent to link up like that is a huge credit to the way we defended.

Kelman was incredible, he worked their defence brilliantly. Galbraith and Currie outstanding, Happe and Simpson superb, DJ even stepped up.

Am really surprised at how ragged City were at the end. Once we went behind I thought that was it but they invited pressure and were lucky to get away with a combination of poor finishing and some desperate blocks.

Great day, stadium was bouncing, a goal that will be remembered as one of the great moments. Wellens is an all time Orient legend for what he's done at this club.

Blimey…. And to think I’m taking a battering on here today from the usual cabal of bullies.

Such an unnecessarily spiteful post to dampen the mood.
