Well that was a shambles by the plastic Yorkies wasn't it, I'm not saying they're a one man team, but no Joe Root and they collapse like a pack of dominoes, and bear in mind this was a Lancashire attack missing James Anderson. The one bright spark for Yorkshire was young Harry Duke, and he looks an ...

The right decision for all parties, Robbie was never going to get regular minutes at Burnley, and although it's a sad way for his Clarets career to end but we couldn't justify giving him another contract especially with his injury woes. Was he a good signing? on balance unfortunately I'd have to see...

De Gea is the villain 11-10 to Villarreal, and Emery wins the EL again.

United only have themselves to blame they didn't do enough in the 120 minutes to merit a victory, and once it goes to pens it's a toss of the coin.

Some fantastic penalties taken by both sides!

.
Yep! 9-9 and the pens have been the highlight of the night.

5-5 after the initial kicks sudden death now who's going to be the villain or hero.

6-6 this could be a long night at this rate.

Pogba and Rashford have been absolute dog dirt.

They haven't been that good, and why both haven't been hauled off only OGS knows, it's not like he doesn't have options on the bench.

tiger76

Yep 90 minutes done and still no subs from Ole what on earth is he thinking. This game is there for the taking if Utd buck up their ideas, Pogba in particular has been strolling through the match when some urgency is required, this is why he can frustrate the hell out of managers and supporters he's...

Best of luck to John McGreal, but it must be said he's got his work cut out at Swindon following their relegation to League 2.

tiger76

Hope he does well and gets some confidence back after a difficult spell, though it must be said Malta and Ukraine aren't easy games for him or NI.

tiger76

Hameed back in test cricket too, move to Notts seems to be working out. Pleased for the lad, and he deserves another shot with England after some heavy scoring this season in generally difficult conditions for batting. It made sense for him to leave Lancs when he did, and a change of surroundings h...

Foyth has Rashford in his pocket Rashford's been poor tonight, and on this display he'll be fortunate to retain his England place for the Euro's. And he's just missed a sitter from 8 yards out when it looked easier to score. imagine the reaction on here if Vyrda or Wood has missed such a golden cha...

Unai Emery is sticking both fingers up to the PL following his sacking by Arsenal, he gained revenge for that in the semi-finals, and his Villarreal side are doing a number on Man Utd here, this cup is his speciality though after his success with Sevilla on numerous occasions. Utd need to quickly wa...

Good points. Suspect Stoke have leaked this to get United/Arsenal (originally linked) interested. He can go there but I’d imagine he’ll see more game time here and have a less pressured route in to Prem football, but it’s up to him. If Stoke really want £20m we should wish them well and move on to ...

tiger76

Apparently we have had a 10m bid rejected for Collins with Stoke wanting closer to 20m. Doubt we'll stretch to £20m, and he's contracted until 2024 so they can play hard ball should they wish, and I guess Stoke will be hoping our interest attracts other bidders with deeper pockets than we have. On ...

Well I can kind of see where the OP is coming from, however be careful what you wish for because if we were to drop to the Championship with our debt that been loaded onto the club I would expect an exodus of our best players, so it'd be bye, bye Charlie, Dwight, Vydra & Wood at the very least.

Now we've got a fair idea of most of the squads who'll be lifting the trophy come the 11th July. For me it's hard too see past France they've got a great blend of youth and experience, and crucially they also have a winning mentality at these major events now, Belgium, Germany, Italy and Spain are a...

So Matej will line up against England & Scotland in the group stage, that's definitely a chance for him to send a message to a lot of people in the UK. Good luck MV and hope you bag a few goals to boost your confidence come pre-season, he's been a major factor in our improvement in the 2nd half of t...

He'll be coaching our keepers in the next 5 years.

We could certainly do far worse than him as a goalkeeping coach, though even he'd have his work cut out with BPF & Norris, he's good but he's not a miracle worker.

tiger76

Decent move for Tom, and he's probably got more chance of getting games at Utd than Villa, don't forget they'll be competing on several fronts next season, so if De Gea does move on he will at worst play in quite a few of their cup games, similar to what Joe Hart has done for Spurs this season, and ...

Happy Birthday, TY have a good one. to put it into perspective you were celebrating your 1st birthday when the Lisbon Lions were becoming the 1st British side to lift the European Cup, not that I'm suggesting your ageing though. :) You are one of the more valued members of this site, especially due ...

Being Burnley centric for a moment, this is no bad thing. The players have gone through an extraordinary season and the more rest they get, between now and August, the better. Let's get our injuries cleared up and hope for a better start to the new campaign. Anyway, despite the media hyping England...

Mendes is on the Wolves Board isn't he? That was part of the complaint launched against them by the Championship Clubs.

Oh! is he that would explain why he wields more power than the normal run-of-the-mill agent in that case.

tiger76

paper thin squad no investment more injuries than usual no fans All things considered, we've done the job Yes it's been a tough campaign at times, but any season we keep our place in this league has to be considered a success, and that will always be the number 1 criteria for any manager at this cl...

Popey will be back in the squad when Southgate resigns after the Euros

Don't shed any tears for Southgate he'll no doubt feature in a pizza ad again after yet another glorious failure, and trouser a fortune into the bargain.

tiger76

No Tarks as expected TBH, and also no Michael Keane, Tripps however does make the initial cut.

tiger76

and those that have not signed for a new club will be paid in July also - it is an old football tradition that is still practised by all Really I wasn't aware of that, as if they don't get enough money, I can sort of understand why this would've been the case in the old days, especially as many pla...

Didn't expect him to be I thought this was made clear a few days ago. Glad that Sam Johnstone has made the long list anyway he's deserved that for his performances this season. However it is curious that 2 of the 4 keepers named have suffered relegation with their clubs this season, but then I suppo...

Bruno Lage being lined up, so they're sticking with the Portuguese model, and it's no surprise to see Jorge Mendes heavily involved that chap has his fingers in every pie doesn't he.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57241200

tiger76

To go through them in order. SD will probably still be here. Tarks probably won't be here, but we should be able to hold onto the rest of our stars. No clue on incomings. Outgoings well only Brady & Dunne are ooc of the first teamers so they'll likely be released, and of course Gibson is poised to j...

Well you can take Pope's name off the list as he's injured, and there's also major question marks about Maguire's fitness for the Euro's. plus you can add Kyle Walker to the defence, I wouldn't take him myself, but no doubt GS will, ditto with Dier, but the rest you're probably not too far out with ...

Dundee promoted which means the localist local derby of all will recommence next season.

Very strange, perhaps he's fallen out with someone?

Perhaps we'll just have to see what comes out in the next few days as more details emerge.

It looks like Adam Legzdins and his Dundee team mates will be celebrating promotion to the Scottish Premiership this evening, Dundee 2-0 up on the night, and 4-1 to the good on aggregate, Kyle Lafferty is heading for relegation despite his scoring blitz in the past few months.

tiger76

Strange one this it looks like MM is being shown the door by Dundee United, I thought he was doing a decent job with them, he secured their Premiership status with ease in their 1st season back in the top flight, and he also reached a SC semi-finalhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57235202

Yes he held it together down the finish line and nobody really got close enough to put him under severe pressure.

Intriguing that the longest course in major championship history has produced the oldest winner, so much for all these young bucks who said they could tame these monsters.

tiger76

It's looking good for Mickelson coming down the home stretch, however he has just dropped a couple of shots to give the rest of the field a sniff.

tiger76

Lille seal the title with a win denying Poch in his 1st season in charge, I suppose the question now is will it be his last season in charge.

Well done to Lille on their success it's always good to see the smaller teams do well once in a while.
