Anyone who was at Wembley on 4th March 1967, as I was, will be having deja vu, as I am. 2-0 up in the League Cup final against QPR and we lost 3-2.
QPR yesterday set out their intent by naming Charlie Austin and Bobby Zamora in their starting line-up.
And Irvine's post-match comments were pathetic.
"We deserved to win the game and the fact that we didn't was down to us not defending well at three corners and not being clinical."
"Austin is a top player. As I said this week when I was Sheffield Wednesday manager I wanted to sign him. He looks a very good player."
No Alan, we didn't deserve to win the game, we got exactly what we deserved. We gifted them a penalty and then let them over-run us.
I just hope Saido Berahino punched James Morrison when the players got back to the dressing room.
