Yes we were a bit lucky with Henderson not getting a red card. But remember Mark Clattenburg failing to play the advantage for Connor Wickham (and allowing Man U to get away with repeated professional fouls) in 2016, or Alan Gunn denying us a clear pen in 1990.

I sometimes have to pinch myself that I can drive from home for 15 minutes and go on a walk in such a stunning landscape. #Yorkshire

I must admit to shedding a few tears myself yesterday. This is what it means to win our first ever major trophy. I remember the long train journey back home to Leeds after the heartbreaking loss to Man Utd in the 2016 final thinking we would never have another chance.

At the launch of The Great North initiative. Opening address by The Deputy Prime Minister who when espousing the sporting success of the north adds a caveat “but let’s not mention City at the weekend” #CPFC

Great news. Proud to have led the Arup team that produced the business case for the new infrastructure to enable these additional rail services between #Bradford and London.

This is so bad. Two really poor teams. Instead of the winners getting into the Champions League, UEFA and the PL should instead decide that the loser gets relegated to the EFL Championship. #EuropaLeagueFinal

I do wish Downing St would stop using policy arguments that make it seem impotent & lacking agency. Saying there is 'no alternative' to unpopular decisions just feeds into that idea that govts are powerless & all the same. Own the action. Explain the trade-off. Make the case.

The fact that the club haven’t been allowed to do the parade around Crystal Palace Park despite desperately wanting to is a disgrace as far as I’m concerned. The first major trophy in our entire history and we’ve had nothing but obstacles thrown in the way. It’s wrong.
