was it not the double punishment rule thing. i.e a pen and red is too harsh.
As usual with United losing my highlight was Mourinho's interview afterwards. Deranged as always, brilliant!
I would be happy if Liverpool signed Rashford. Must be better than playing for Mr Pricklepants. 🙂
Unal Emery has been appointed the gunners manager. Rumours earlier in the day that Arteta was going to turn them down due to lack of say in transfers.
Yeah that came out of the blue! Lots of rumours, but that one is unlikely to be true. Some complications over the backroom staff gave the board the chance to get cold feet over an untested new manager. Fan backlash had been building for a while, so they’ve gone for a more sensible appointment.
Totally rubbish process though!
Darron 'not an alcoholic' Gibson has evaded a custodial sentence, again, for drink driving. He was sentenced to community service and banned for 40 months yesterday, for being 3 times over the limit at 9am and ploughing his 4x4 through a row of parked cars in a housing estate.
A couple of years back he ran over three cyclists mending a broken chain on the pavement, and was apprehended at a petrol station, drunk, filling his car in bare feet (embarrassingly, my club continued to employ this shithouse afterwards).

Wonder if he's off to the pub to celebrate staying out of jail.
Ive tried to be patient with Jose but the only positive is that the football is better than under Van Gaal. Which is faint praise indeed.
The future of the team team should be Rashford, McTominay, Martial, Fosu Mensah, Lingard, Pereria and Bothwick Jackson. Plus Shaw if there was someone to spend a bit of time building his confidence.
Only lingard and McTominay have progressed this season, all the others have regressed or disappeared. Jose only interested in 29yr old finished players, which isn’t the Utd way.
I didn't realize Lingard was as old as he is but I agree he's done pretty well. Rashford should just stick it out - Jose will be gone in a couple of years, tops. McTominay - what's happened to him? Seemed to being doing well, became a regular starter and then disappeared.
The football under Jose this season has been absolutely dire!
I’m sure that he’ll now offload half the squad, including Rashford and Tony Marshall, spend a fortune on expensive imports, then set them up to play anti-football, the same as this season.
Its difficult to see how we can possibly compete for the title against City with his mindset. And if Liverpool actually build a defence, then they’ll be up there scrapping it out as genuine title contenders too.
Its because the creative attacking football of City, Liverpool, and Spurs has been so great to watch this season that the contrast has been so marked with Jose’s dull, tedious and toothless ‘style’. We’ve got great attacking players who aren’t being allowed to play.
i don’t know a single United fan who’s happy with the situation. Jose keeps banging on about finishing second. So what? Pick any season and ask yourself who finished second? Nobody cares. Especially if the football you’re watching to achieve that is as bloody awful as it’s been this season
But consdiering the way Chelsea played under him, none of this is a massive shock ? It's who he is and what he does. He plays terrible football, kills games and stifles players, but is effective generally in results.
which isn’t the Utd way
It always surprises me how many fans actually believe the mythology around their clubs, utd have always bought more ready made players than they have developed youth, the class of 92 was exceptional, but they are not the norm.
I mean the city way is to look promising then completely **** it up, and we haven't even delivered on that this year.
Indeed Mine. I’m also getting increasingly concerned that next season may see the end of the ‘Liverpool Way’ .
Shipping loads of late goals to throw comfortable leads away 😉
No sign of that yet though, thankfully.
My prediction for Saturday is liverpool scoring 2, or even 3 quick goals in the first half, then Real pegging them back and equalising, then Ronnie getting the winner with the last kick of the game.
Should be at s belter of a match!
Good luck to Fulham in the playoff final today ( can't stand Villa ) ..and in particular to Mitro..hope you have a blinder son and score a hatrick pushing your value up to the £20m mark ..then go on to have an outstanding World Cup ..and push your value up by another £5m.
I'm one of the toon fans who think you have had a bit of a raw deal ..but if Rafa doesn't fancy you and you are to be sold then we need as much dosh as possible for you as it's looking like our billionaire owner is keeping his hands in his pockets again this close season ..will we ever be rid of him ?
My own opinion is that Wolves will be your home next season ...
I'd like to see Fulham up too - and see Sessegnon v the big boys. Looks the real deal and I hope he stays with Fulham for a couple more seasons.
Champions League prediction? 5-3 to Madrid.
Come on the Villa!!!
Do the Man United fans think they’d be as aggrieved at the dull style if they’d have bagged one of lesser trophies (i.e. league/fa cup) this season? Attractive football is great for the neutral, but benchmarking Spurs and Liverpool - neither of whom have won a trophy this season* seems odd to me when you finished comfortably ahead of them in the league.
RM.
* - yet. Good luck Liverpool tonight!
Watching the play off final, good game so far. But the real questions.....
How long ago did Steve Bruce retire, and has he spent ALL that time eating?
He's going straight into my fat ex-players XI, along with Barnes, Garth Crooks and of course the man mountain that is big Nev.
Free to watch!!
Is there any better sight in the world than John Terry standing there with a face like a smacked arse?
😂

The look on my face as I slap him? Another bad day for Villa there
Congratulations Fulham ...
Free Champions League on BT Sport ..
I want a partial refund then !😎😁
Just about to go to the pub when I noticed it's on TV. Bonus.....
Even if you don’t have bt sport, It’s being streamed live for free on BT’s YouTube page
Good start but they need to get one of these in soon....
I really don't know how Madrid have got to the final this year, they have been at best average every time I have seen them.
It does look like 2 teams who have chosen to play their way and style, not to try and contain the other team
100 and 548 if you have a Virgin box.
Oof. First really good chances for Liverpool...come on lads...
immediate thought as he went down was collarbone or shoulder. God I hope not.......
edit - bugger
Shame, Liverpool have to not let it affect them mentally too much, Salah hadn't actually done much to affect the game at that point, Liverpool were better all over the pitch, they need to keep that up.
Having landed hard on my shoulder this afternoon I'm in no mood to run and jump around
There will be a few international managers watching from behind the sofa here.
Oh and Alexander Arnold to start for England!!
My life - Liverpool have conceded some comedy goals this year.
Now that. Was funny.
classic Liverpool goal
It does remind me of the keegan years at Newcastle
well if that decides it I won't complain.
Ronaldo won't be happy that someone else has scored that goal!
Sweet baby Jesus and the orphans!!! 😳
hes literally just walked on to the pitch!
WOW!! Still on for the 4-2 I predicted
my god
Sweet baby Jesus and the orphans!!!
I know binners it's called Football, not sure if you have been watching anything like it for the last 12 months
aaaarrgghhhh!
I can't see where a chance is coming from other than some hail marys into the box at the end.....
great journey but a step too far I think
Now that. Was also funny.
oops butter fingers
