Play off final is Sheffield Wednesday bs Hull City.

We drew 1-1 at Hillsborough and 0-0 at the KC. Will be a very tight game. Bruce won't be as tactically naive as Houghton was in the first leg. We'll be looking a moment of magic to win it but lucky we have 3 or 4 capable of producing one. Bring it on.

 

That's the philosophy right there

 

Maybe Van Gaal is a genius after all! #VanGaalIn

 

Be able to rest easy know that Man U will finish 5th instead of 6th in the league. Well worth the effort today.

 

To be fair Rooney has done like 5 things really well today. Good performance given the dross he's served up till now. Of course it helps Bournemouths midfield have given him like two hours on the ball all day.

 

Fantastic. Even when we have a reasonably good match, we couldn't even keep the clean sheet for De Gea. Sums up our season.

 

Ffs Smalling you bollocks.

 

That's proper ruined my night.

 

Don't worry, just think - in 5 days, Van Gaal might've been sacked. Moyes went when top 4 was mathematically impossible, and Van Gaal probably would've too. The only thing keeping him now is surely the Final in 4 days.

 

Several times in my working life I've contemplated installing FM on my work laptop. I'm sure the IT guys would understand.

 

hope wednesday go up because of their ex-celtic contingent and want snodgrass to leave hull and join the rodgers revolution

 

Still 5 spots open in the Euro draw. Copa America is full. Get at me.

 

When you forget what you said two days earlier
Monday: “I think he has an outside chance. He [Hodgson] has brought him in because he has done so well at the back end of the season. He is the one reason why Manchester United have finished so well. Bear in mind he is in the team in front of Rooney in his favoured position, so that tells you something straight away. He’s had a wonderful end to the season, given United a big lift and being involved with the seniors” – Stuart Pearce tells Sky Sports News HQ why he is pleased Marcus Rashford is in the England squad.

Wednesday: “His call-up is a contentious one, for me. With the Toulon Tournament going on at the same time as the senior training camp, maybe he should be playing there for his experience. I don’t think he’ll be in the 23 anyway, but if Hodgson really wanted to take him to the Euros, he could have called him back from Toulon – he’d still be match-fit” – Stuart Pearce tellsTalksport why he is not impressed by Marcus Rashford is in the England squad.

Reading the mood
‘Meet the stunning England Wags line-up Euro 2016 set to light up our screens this summer,’ reads the headline on The Sun’s football – that’s football – homepage.

‘SunSport runs the rule over the gorgeous partners of the Three Lions’ preliminary squad,’ the tagline reads. Thank fuck for that.

‘Debate is hotting up over which England stars should play in France,’ a piece by Toby Gannon begins. ‘But another line-up we are all desperate to find out is the Three Lions’ Wags.’

Find out how:

Jesus wept.

Looking back on the Leicester story, if Liverpool had won it in 2014, that would make 5 different champions in 5 years right? City, United, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Leicester. When was the last time that happened? Through 1967-73 United, City, Leeds, Everton, Arsenal, Derby, and Liverpool all won it accordingly. Otherwise I can;t think of a time there was more than 3 different champions in 3 seasons.

 

Really hope Liverpool get smashed tonight. A nice 3-0 would do me fine.

Unfortunately can see them nicking it...

 

How about this for a ridiculous stat; Sevilla haven't won a single away game in the league this season. Even Aston Villa have won one!

 

Ugh. Total handball. Here we go.

 

liverpool will win this easily lol

 

I doubt this game finishes with 22 players on the pitch

 

I love that this is being legally streamed on YouTube.

 

WHAT A STUNNER!!

 

That was alright.

 

Cracker off the outside of the boot.

 

Lmao...that was a blatant handball. Literally put his hand down to slow it down. Sevilla are going to have to grab the ball and start shooting hoops for the refs to have to call it at this point.

 

I don't get how the Firmihno one wasn't a foul of some sort. He hit the ball away with his hand and stuck his leg out too. Surely at least one of those is a foul??
