Fully deserved win by West Ham. Anything else would've been daylight robbery. Utd had 3 shots, 2 on target. Must win game!

It'll all be over soon.

you've gotta hope that City lose at Swansea .... or maybe you don't, cos you'd rather LvG gone.

City won't lose to Swansea. Hes gone either way though.

he's supposedly said he's staying if he gets top 4 and the FA Cup.

Keep praying that he doesn't, and then you can welcome in the world of proper-dull with Jose.

[zahidf]

if the rumours are true, top 4 or fa cup will be enough to save lvg (due to costs of sacking)

also, giggs still preferred over jose. Ha!

Has nobody at OT noticed that Giggs has been a constant in the last two regimes that have failed?

Mourinho at his worst plays much better footie than LVG. Utd have scored 46 goals this season. Mourinhos Chelsea scored 73 when they won the league. 

Utds shot map from last night. One of them was a cross remember.  FFS.

so the latest rumours go, he's off if its Jose.

[The Nal]

Is Rooney going to start ahead of Kane or Vardy?

As he should. I've always hated the idea that ex-players have some divine right to take the job (plus Scholes and the rest of his mates constantly talking him up for it in the media). Go get some real experience somewhere and if he proves himself good enough then he'll get there eventually.

Neither hopefully. However Roy will find some way to stuff him into the team.

Kane through the middle of a three must be without question. Vardy or Sterling on the right, would have been Welbeck on the left but his injury leaves a hole. Roy will either stick Rooney out there which will leave us hopelessly exposed when we wanders in looking for the ball, or he'll shunt Alli out there and play Rooney behind Kane.

[TheGayTent]

Daley shouldn't even make the squad. 

Antonio should

Wasn't Rooney one of the top scorers in qualification? I think there is a danger on basing international selection purely on domestic form. Many of Greece 2004 were hardly playing domestically.

[thetime]

Rooney is the England captain, of course he's going to start at the euros.

Will be funny if west ham have to play behind closed doors start of next season.

For throwing a few beers at a bus? Moronic behaviour for sure, but being forced to play behind closed doors is ever so slightly OTT. 

Still, you'd get a better view watching it on tele

Hard to prove if any of the bottle throwers even had tickets?

For the good of football, City need to not lose on Sunday

Come on Hugh, the family man has been groomed for the top job at The Swamp. Its only right hat he gets the job at the end on next season, after melted welly head has seen out his contract.

if they're like TGT and say they'll never go to the Corrupt-Deal Stadium, they won't be caring if they got life bans anyway.

Quick update on your keeper who`s out at Stranraer.

Met a fella in the pub on Saturday who travels home and away to watch stranraer. It`s now possible my team could play them in the playoffs. He was saying how shit they were as recently as Christmas when they were bottom and how things have now turned around. He mentioned that one of the main reasons was this amazing goalie they had on loan from Wrexham !

Hopefully you recall him before the playoffs up here 

Quick update on your goalie PT. Stranraer made it to the final which is a fair effort considering they were rank bottom at Christmas. On Saturday they were 2 up with a minute to play and managed to lose 2 goals only to score twice themselves in extra time !

If you want to check on his progress, the 1st leg is live tonight on BBC Alba. I fancy Ayr to make it through over both legs with the added carrot of Killie being in the play offs to get relegated from the top league. The 2nd leg is also live on Alba on Sunday and hopefully won`t take the shine off the last round of Premiership matches on Sky  

The return of the Ayrshire derby next season may only be 2 games away 

`Mon Ayr !

Relegation day today :( and on Jackie Milburn's birthday.

You couldn't have a worst team to rely on a favour from. The Ev are shite and their season has been over for a few weeks now.

[lost]

I wonder if tonight is going to be Roberto's last game or if the club is going to subject him to the lap of honour at the weekend? Even big Sam was taking the piss in the press conference yesterday "I'd love to sign John Stones and show him how to defend properly"

My friend who supports them sent me a message a few days ago saying sorry in advance.

 

I said don't be silly. Newcastle can only blame Newcastle.

I have it on now, he isn't our player anymore as we released him last week. Nothing against him apart from him not being good enough for us, I hope he does well and maybe grows a few inche!

[The Nal]

Sad to see Newcastle go down. 

But.... dont let the door hit you on the way out Rafa.

Good luck to the honest men - Looks like well be joining your league just as you are leaving (touch wood)  - scoreline not too good at the moment though.

OUr third goal last night wasn't too bad:)
