    Fuck em..totally agree.

    Won't miss Stoke, that's for sure!
    Credit to Darren Moore for the work he put in with WBA these last few matches. Wouldn't be surprised if they'd kept their place in the PL, if he had taken charge only a few matches earlier. Hope those in charge give him the job permanently. Swansea haven't looked particularly good these last few matches.


    Fantastic effort by Wagner's Huddersfield! Everybody had them at relegation before the season started, and then they go ahead keep their place by delivering draws against City and Chelsea! That Chelsea goal last night was damn lucky too, so Huddersfield could have won that one.

    Euro Paper Talk: Real Madrid ready to pay £227m for Neymar

    http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11364992/euro-paper-talk-real-madrid-ready-to-pay-227m-for-neymar


    And PSG are supposed to accept that? Their greatest pride departing after only one season? Yeah right! Never gonna happen.

    Just in from BBC Sport is that Carlos is leaving Swansea at the end of the season.

    He had a very difficult job trying to save them. Will be interesting to see where he ends up, and who'll take charge of Swansea in the Championship.

    «Wayne Rooney looks set to play his last game in the Premier League this Sunday – with a £12m move to MLS side DC United agreed in principle.

    A number of MLS franchises held talks with Rooney’s agent Paul Stretford more than a year ago before England’s top goalscorer returned to Goodison Park.

    Sky Sports News understands this latest deal was drafted over the past seven weeks, during several visits to the States by Stretford alongside DC United’s Chief Executive Jason Levein.»

    Well perhaps he wants out having realised the PSG project isn't really all it's cracked up to be?

    How many seasons have they been pissing money all over the place still to make an impact in the CL? Mind you same could be said for City.

    Tuchel is on the way to PSG too, if we believe what's been written lately. He and Neymar doesn't look like very similar personalities, if you ask me.

    West Ham v Man United a nothing game, though Uniteds formation and line up has made it more watchable.

    That was a big yawn of a first half.

    Pretty much though United are marginally better than they were against Brighton, Sanchez is working hard and trying to make something happen.

    I would assume he perhaps has realized what a mistake he made yes. But it doesn't really matter what Neymar wants. Stars at PSG have wanted to leave before. However, if you pick a fight with the prince, you are bound to lose!

    The only thing that could possibly push them to want to sell is if they receive substantial pressure from UEFA over FFP rules. But Even then they will do everything in their power not to sell their most precious asset.

    Utter dross. Really need Utd to concede and ideally Pogba to score as well.

    Yeah. UEFA really going to come down hard on a French team as usual.

    More impressed by Arnautović. He is more or less West Ham's attack alone.

    Second half not much better... barring a few games (those fighting relegation etc) last few weeks has been littered with dead rubbers.

    Bring on the Cup Finals and World Cup.

    Arnautović does look decent as a striker, he has made Smalling look average a few times in this game.

    Sean Dyche says Burnley are now financially strong enough to resist bids for their best players, as he prepares to build a squad capable of competing in Europe.

    http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11708/11367506/sean-dyche-says-burnley-are-under-no-pressure-to-sell-this-summer

    Hats off to Dyche and Burnley for how they're running the club. Can see them getting even better looking at how this season have been for them.

    City will do well to achieve what they did last season in 2018/2019, teams need to stay close them and at least apply pressure. City losing to United and Liverpool showed a chink in there armour, though if Pep spends big again City's depth in quality will become increasingly difficult to match.

    Rui Faria is to leave Manchester United at the end of the current season. Another one to be linked with Arsenal?
