I think ETH will be shown the door this summer, regardless of it he somehow manages to win a trophy. The team is just rotten.

Crazy stat on the final though - "It is only the second time in the competition's history that the same two teams have reached successive finals.

Blackburn Rovers beat Queen's Park at Kennington Oval in 1884 and 1885."

Abysmal.

Coventry deserved to win today, but what can I do?

The club is in strawberry floating mess. :fp:

"There's so much money in this world and there's no money for what's most important."

Who said this and about what? Was it Greta Thunberg on climate change? Jamie Oliver on feeding kids? A brave opposition MP holding this awful Conservative government to account?

No, it was Marc-Andre Ter Stegen complaining about La Liga not having goal line tech...

That isn't the quote I saw:

twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1782161374103101538




Which makes a lot more sense and is a completely fair point.

I wonder if he's been done by a dodgy translation in the quote you've used (which I see has been reported in some places)?

So just saw all of the Cov Vs Man decisions, and well...surely it's only the last one that's dodgy, no?

The offside was probably technically right and more a result of an issue with the current application of the rules than an incorrect decision.

Handball was harsh for me, especially when compared to the Grealish handball not given the day before. There's just zero consistency in this area.

That Jackson tackle has to have been a red!

Quite extraordinary that the third goal stood there.

I’m sorry Nick Jackson, it is four nil.

well that was a pretty comfortable 5-0 win i must say. Before the game i had hoped that Havertz would do a knee slide celebration if he scored, he did not let me down, love the guy.

I imagine Liverpool or Man City will keep them honest til the final day but it's increasingly difficult to look past Arsenal as title winners this season. Being very good and being lucky is a potent combination.

Four games is still a good stretch in football though, so here's hoping.

Edit: Just realised that Man City have a game in hand, scratch some of that

We've got an away NLD at the weekend and a trip to OT in a couple of weeks. I'm not going to say I'm not confident for all four games because we're playing *really* well, but Spurs need the points and will be bang up for it, and United could pull a performance out of nowhere. Everton might be safe by the last day but then they also might not truly know they're safe due to deductions so I'm not expecting them to be on their holidays. All we (and yourselves for that matter) can do is try and get 12 points and make City need 100% as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed tonight. It was really nice to dish out a proper battering to a big rival down on their luck.

Reddit reckons it's worked it out already from the info given, personally I haven't a clue.

2 x 19 males at same club. Could be a lot of teams. Wolves have apparently stated it is not them.

Pointless speculating imo. From a morale viewpoint it's gross to start pointing fingers about a crime like this and from a logical one there's almost certainly too many candidates to consider.

Hope if these players are guilty they suffer the full consequences.
