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.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
