The Mancs had it won then sh!t the bed. Madrid showed Pep how to protect a one goal lead albeit exposing the darker side of football. Allam’s GONE.
Ancelotti took the Steve Bruce route one. Replace Elmo with another whippet, and hoof it down the line for him to chase. Shame it was Walker that went off rather than the winger. If you are going to pull attackers off to defend a lead, at least let the subs know who to kick into row z. That is from the Jackie Charlton book of football. "Our kid could play football. I could stop people playing football".
Guardiola’s too clever for his own good sometimes. Taking De Bruyne off was a huge mistake. Man City were coasting all game until around the 80th minute and started to wobble. Given he was brought in to win the Champions League and spent close to a billion quid in 6 years, he’s failed the most important thing he was set out to do.
Back in 1961 the players union were trying to get the £20 maximum wage abolished, a few weeks earlier Johnny Haynes Fulham captain asked Tommy Trinder Fulham chairman for a pay rise.The professional football club chairmen were so confident of winning the case, so Tommy said to Johnny if I could I would give you £100 a week The players won the case and true to his word Tommy paid Johnny making him the first £100 a week footballer in English football.
disaster for west ham tonight. creswell red-carded after just 19 minutes to put a huge dent in their hopes of reaching the europa final.
Pleased to see McGregor in the final but it could have been with us if we hadn't thrown it away for a failed attempt at staying up!
Final day in the Championship for play-offs could be interesting. Both Boro and Millwall could leapfrog Sheffield Utd and Luton if the former win and the latter lose. That 7-0 loss against Fulham for Luton gave Millwall a better GD.
Too late, Leicester pulled on back against Everton, so they're back in the bottom three. Everton getting relegated, and TWS getting dry bummed like this every week next season is pretty much win win. Being in the top tier for so long is pretty much Everton's only claim to fame.
