Great point that about us never having an easy final. We probably never will unfortunately
They've literally all been quite tight, Neal's late pen against Gladbach to finish them off, 78 and 81 being decided by a single goal, 84 and 05 on pens. Even in the UEFA cup, despite having it basically all tied up in 73, Gladbach fought back, and it was just as tight in 76 and 2001.
Perhaps Newcastle in 74 was as comfortable as we've ever got, but it did take us about an hour to score the first. I hope for our sanity and health we run away with it on June 1
