Yes, the 2nd leg of the FA Youth Cup Final is on Monday - and I know of Blades supporters who took out a 1 month subscription to the MUFC TV channel just to watch both legs live and consider the money spent a bargain. Just under 30,000 at Bramall Lane on Wednesday and 7000 tickets sold to Blades supporters for Monday....


And now Motherwell are out of the Scottish Cup the odds against Stuart McCall returning as manager will probably drop even lower...

It was a very one sided game, not seen anything that comprehensive at Anfield for a very long time. Kenny has done very well in recent months getting a midfield of Maxi, Spearing and Kuyt to perform but against Spurs they were outclassed.

Outclassed by Spurs - bugger, doesn't bode well for today. Inauspicious circumstances going into today's game at WHL given the injuries and the adverse press reports this week (some completely unfounded regarding finances and lack of harmony at the club, some completely irrelevant about players drinking after the end of season awards). Suspect that by 6pm, I will be applying to join the "Life Outside The Premiership" thread.


But you never know. I suspect Blackpool will be beaten by Man U, whatever team Fergie fields, and that Stoke will beat Wigan - given their season, Pulis will field his stongest team to give the fans a good send off at the Britannia (that's his way). So as long as we don't concede a hatful.


Alternatively, we could take matters into our own hands and try and win the game. A nervous few hours guaranteed.

It says a lot about Birmingham and West Ham, and any other clubs, who arrange to have end of season parties before the actual end of season!


I hope Blackburn get relegated after their reenacting of the infamous 1982 World Cup Germany v Austria stich up last w/e. Wigan to survive. Blackpool to go down please - another season of the West Country ego will be too much!

Unbelievable! He won the double for the first time in their history last year. I suspect Chelsea to finish outside of the top five next season and Abromovich will deserve it. If any club needs some some stability it's Chelsea. Not that I care.


Oh and by the way thank you Matthew for your response to the Liverpool v Spurs game. It's very rare for Spurs to get a result up there so your reply was much appreciated unlike Annasfield and a couple of others who seems to have gone to ground. It's the first double I can ever remember against your lot and I'm sure it'll be a long time before we do it again. Good luck next season.

Timwotsisname on SFTW made me chuckle.

He said that "now the Dalglish is managing Liverpool they're 14 to 1 to win the title next season. For those of you who aren't familiar with gambling terms that means that if you bet ten pounds you lose ten pounds".


It made me chuckle anyway.

Judging by his reported comments re WHU (used to indicate his readiness to manage another team in Premier League/Championship) Ancelotti knew what was coming and is preparing to stay in England.


Warnock for Chelsea please. (one of those strictly-come-dancing comedy appointments)

This tends to be a contractual thing where players do not have to make themselves available after the last game has been played. In Birmingham's case, I want to know the players who weren't out drinking till 4 in the morning (Larsson would be one, I suspect he gets giggly on a half of shandy).

For those who don't have MUTV and would like to watch it, it's live on the FA's website.

      RECOMMENDATION FOR HANDYMAN

      By jreeder · Posted

      I would recommend Lucasz - he responded to our request very quickly, gave us an excellent quote and cleaned up after himself. Will definitely ask him to do any future jobs.

      No to joining America in any attack on Iran

      By malumbu · Posted

      General view is it is tokenistic from Iran, not looking to harm life but show that they are retaliating. Same thing happened after the earlier Israeli attack back in the distant part. There will be debate, even at the top of the Iranian authorities.  Israel even without the US hold the cards.  Although are in this position due to decades of US support. As per my post on the other thread much of the reason the world is in this position is botched US post second world war middle East policy.  Supporting both sides in the Iran/Iraq war being particularly striking Trump mark 1 emboldened the right wing in Israel, perhaps pushed Hammas to more extreme action, and led to the Iranians going rogue on nukes.  I think that the latter was to put them in a stronger position in opening up grade, a country not able to sell vast quantities of oil ,(and gas?) But how does the world move on from this mess? By all means give other views to my simplistic ones

      The NYT ( that right wing alarmist rag) has reported that Iran told Qatar so they could prepare. Iran and Q are on good terms so Q won’t retaliate, esp as Iran is only targeting US bases, which everyone knew to expect.     If anything, it draws Qatar into the dialogue and Q will privately be urging Iran to back down.

      If the Qatari's decide to retaliate then it's all going off...but I suspect the Iranians are hoping for this - one inaccurate missile and the Qatari's may have to. I think the Iranian leadership is working on fast-tracking their own demise and the Americans and Israeli's planning for regime change, maybe with the many political prisoners the Israelis tried to free from the Elvin prison today. What a mess but clearly Iran was becoming a big threat to not only Israel but many of the other Gulf States and was clearly doing scary stuff with nuclear weapons that required action.
