Luis Enrique

Hopefully

It'll be interesting to see if they can prise Simeone away from Atletico or Tuchel from BVB.

[red devil]

Simeone has said he wants to manage Inter, I think that would be a much better fit for him than Arsenal.

Tuchel has done well but very inexperienced at top level.

Koeman more likely to go to Barca, that's if they don't want MoPo.

Is Blanc still free?

Not a lot in the cupboard...

Pochettino has ruled himself out a couple of times in recent weeks. The first time citing his affiliation with Espanyol.

"But the 44-year-old has insisted he wouldn?t join Barcelona due to his links with Espanyol, claiming he was ?born with a bull in his arm? ? a reference to his history with their bitter rivals."

My mate in Italy reckons Massimiliano Allegri is nailed on to take over at Arsenal next season.

[Mick Mac]

Wenger has arrived for press conference....is this it?

The future

No matter what happens, I will manage next season, whether it's here or somewhere else I am not sure. On a night like that, I hate defeat and I want to do extremely well for this club. I feel a big responsibility. You do not work here for 20 years and walk out of a game like that and whistle.

He's just said he's going to go on and on

like Thatcher.

[Parkdrive]

The daily hate Mail just as toxic as the sun. Wouldn't give either house apart from using for kindling

[Alan Medic]

I feel sorry for Wenger. I would like him to go out on a high but it doesn't look like it will happen. Perhaps they will beat Bayern 4-0 and all will be will again :)

[red devil]

If he does leave at the end of the season, I think he'll announce it with just a few games to go, otherwise the players' form could drop off like it did with Fergie's first retirement announcement. At least that way the decent fans could give him a good send off. The downside is that until then he will probably keep getting stick and vitriol from an increasing number of fans who want him out now, and he doesn't deserve to go out under such a potentially poisonous atmosphere...

[Jah Lush]

Exactly. Spot on RD.

[red devil]

If there's no shock tonight or in the quarter finals, the semis are going to be a couple of humdingers...

[red devil]

Claudio Ranieri sacked. He deserved to see the season out...

[Captkerk]

London has the best contenders for the title:

Chelsea

Tottenham

Arsenal

Which will prevail?

[Jah Lush]

The way things are at the moment it's Chelsea's to lose.

Saw a great tweet from one of the betting accounts asking "Can spurs reduce Chelsea's lead to just 10 points?"

Just 10 points.

[malumbu]

Great fight-back by Dulwich after almost throwing it away early on, and pleased that Palace got the points even though I destest BFS.

[red devil]

I reckon Spurs could learn something from Saints yesterday when it comes to playing pressing football at Wembley. Instead of pressing high up like Spurs do, Saints sat back and let Utd's defence have the ball in our own half, but as soon the ball was in Saints' half the press began. Maybe they worked out that Wembley is too big a pitch and energy sapping to play Spurs' high pressing game?

As for the game, very exciting, Saints unlucky and should've won, but Zlatan is the man. We looked jaded, Mourinho needs to rest key players this Saturday before the trip to Russia and FA Cup QF against Chelsea...

[titch juicy]

Dulwich Hamlet were fantastic on Saturday. No exaggeration to say that they completely dominated the game and were very unlucky to find themselves 2-0 down to two wind assisted long range efforts.

Might even count themselves unlucky not to have won it in the end. A Tuesday night away tie without the rabble will obviously be tough, but fingers crossed.

A good friend of mine is a York City fan so we're hoping for a York V Dulwich final at Wembley.

[malumbu]

One of my teams is still in the FA Trophy and another through to the semis of the FA Vase.

Perhaps both will make it to Wembley for the double header

Barcelona tonight. Goodness!

[Jah Lush]

I just wish I'd remembered to watch it. Amazing performance and result.

[camberwell70]

Incredible! Do they have Roy of the Rovers in Spain?

[red devil]

Mourinho has said he's prioritising Thurs' Rostov game over tonight's Chelsea match, as the Europa League offers a way into the CL. That and no fit strikers it's going to be a very long evening for the fans...

[red devil]

Don't panic!!!!....too late, Karanka sacked
