Actually my gut feeling is that they don't have a great record of actually winning it after being dropped down from champions league, apart from very recent years.

And as of next year the Europa winners get a champs league spot, which could make it more interesting.


See Rooney is out today, and a doubt for the Bayern match. United supporters must be a bit worried to see that. I imagine he'll play in the week, it's only a bruised toe, surely they can dose him up for the match.

Interesting that one of United's better results comes when several players are apparently be rested for CL. Should some of today's team maybe be considered given the performance?


And will Andy Carroll haunt the pool tomorrow? Jamie Carragher not overly complimentary in the press today which makes me even more worried about the prospect than I akready was.

Don't want to jinx it (honest) but The Irons do sometimes have a knack of spoiling the bigger clubs' ambitions at this end of the season. Let's just hope it's ManC on the final day, eh?

I suppose you can't have it everyway but there have been two 'goal line technology' disallowed goals recently where the margin was minute. The naked eye and the TV camera would certainly not have detected they were not goals. Yesterday the ball must have been 99.99% over the line, if the graphics are anything to go by. Perhaps it should be adjusted to be in line with how a decision would be made by someone in the perfect position to see it, with perfect eyesight. A more sympathetic approach.

Chris Hughton sacked as manager of Norwich City. That's a real panic decision as far as I'm concerned. OK results haven't been that good lately and they have a truly daunting fixture list in their next five games. I can't see how that will make a difference. We'll see though.

Reading the Welsh media Cardiff have given up it seems (sorry to Cardiff fans - but that's what Media Wales portray)


Fulham still fighting and Sunderland with the games in hand (Spurs tonight)


Norwich last 4 leaves them in the mix


Swansea (my team) still act as if they are too good to go down - ominous.

    • That the leaders of our country are wealthy people comes as a shock to you? How ridiculous.  Why shouldn’t they be living in those houses?  
    • No such thing as a “witch hunt” against a taxpayer funded public figure. Especially someone in charge of finances.    It is the responsibility of a landlord to ensure the agent acting on their behalf has done everything required to validate a tenancy. And to double check that too. Stop justifying it as some sort of ‘oversight’ purely down to the agent.    Also, I’d question the socialist credentials of a Labour chancellor owning a beautiful detached house on a private estate close to the edge of Dulwich Village. Great Brownings, according to some media outlets. What a s**tshow.    Louisa.    https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/dulwich/southwark-faces-calls-to-take-action-against-chancellor-rachel-reeves-who-is-accused-of-breaking-housing-rules-when-renting-out-dulwich-home/
    • Was the property in one the wards Southwark added last November? It would be a bit harsh if it was and Southwark didn’t notify residents and landlords. 
    • Yes it's a witch hunt, but that's what the press does. Optics are almost more important than policy these days. If the public has even a whiff that a government isn't trustworthy, or is chaotic, that feeling lingers like a rotten smell.  It's another comms catastrophe for Labour - every time there's a story they rush out a knee-jerk denial, without verifying the facts. They did it with Raynor and it was a shit-show. That's what Labour keeps getting wrong. Reeves should have been gagged and told by someone with an ounce of sense to first check her emails.
