Final moved from Istanbul to Porto. Obviously a move that benefits UEFA and its sponsors more than the two clubs. Hosting it in England was easily the best option. Even more baffling is the Super Cup later in the year likely to be moved from Belfast to Istanbul despite the final likely to be between two English Clubs. Either Chelsea or Man City will likely play Man Utd unless Villarreal win the Europa - UEFA have offered this to Istanbul along with the 2023 CL final.

Never actually been a fan of Durham with his controversies which are clearly sometimes for winding up people, but he is very Pro Rangers which is obviously great. But here what he says is very correct - we haven't just snatched the title on the last day - we have mauled this title away from them in record time after a massive rebuild where only a few years ago we were still struggling in the likes of Luxembourg. That is why Gerrard eased the Manager of the year award: The almost unbeaten season (should be able to edit almost tomorrow) The terrific Euro run two years in a row - completing with good European sides The team / weekly XI is a well oiled machine which we saw in 92-93 and 98-00 - which includes a defensive record is simply phenomenal Power has not only been restored in the OF games - we have been light years ahead of them recently. I think I'll go onto talksport listen again feature and see if there was a meltdown of callers ?

Compo - Spurs v Wolves is also on Sunday - get Dolly to have a bash at that one also

Rangers 3-0 Aberdeen Morelos FGS

Firstly what a dour game with Villa and Everton. How many chances have Everton had to get into 5th and never take it. Massive win for Liverpool and its very likely they will sneak into the CL spots now if they win their last 3 games. Leicester on 66 can get onto 72. Chelsea on 64 can get to 70. Liverpool on 60 cant get to 69. Chelsea and Leicester have to meet in the league meaning both cant reach their max points tally available. Personally Im hoping Liverpool have a slip somewhere but I just see them sneaking in as its 3 very winnable games. Anyway onto this weekend. Newcastle 0-3 Man City Burnley 1-1 Leeds Southampton 2-1 Fulham Brighton 0-2 West Ham Crystal Palace 1-2 Aston Villa Tottenham 2-1 Wolves West Brom 0-2 Liverpool Everton 2-0 Sheff Utd FA Cup Final Chelsea 0-0 Leicester Leicester to win on Pens.

Yes - congrats SG and credit to the full management team. Almost an unbeaten league campaign and a great Euro run - fully deserved.

Yeah very worthy over the course of the season. After Oct / Nov nobody could touch them as they went on that long unbeaten run. I still think they were better two years ago and the points tally says the same but they have got more steel about them this season and played most of the season without an out and out striker. They will have a bit work to do in the summer to get a striker - Sir Alex strengthened his team after every title win and the way Chelsea are improving they are going to have more wins on the board next season - so City will need one marquee signing IMO.

Totally forgot about games last night. Chelsea 2-0 Arsenal Aston Villa 1-1 Everton Man Utd 2-2 Liverpool

Guaranteed Whosthedado will provide us with the worst XI. Steven - over to you son.....

Love it Love it. Shouldnt this be a thread I should start though? ? Im working on my XI. Surely I can bring Jeffers back?

Ive got Michael Owen on the box who has gained masses of weight....Now Nicky Summerbee - bit of an arrogant dick. Keys and Grey will be on shortly - legends.

Will reply tomorrow mate. But yeah agreed. What do I know Wolves hit a double. Nuno is actually the manager Spurs need.

The move to bring Tuchel in place of Lampard - masterstroke. Chelsea are actually looking frightening. Playing like this then I think they will win the league next season - at a canter.

Will reply to the latest posts shortly. I just woke up from a scary vodka pitch. Watching Wolves v Brig-hit-on at the moment. Potter is very impressive but he cant surely be a Spurs manager. I love you all gersnetters. Vodka loyal.

Interesting. I dont recall Ray Stewart though - did he play for Dundee Utd? I will need to search. But I remember Liam Brady spraying balls around like it was a training exercise. My fave West Ham player of that era was Stuart Slater - he used to destroy defenders. then he went to Celtic and it finished him. I was a junior hammer and was on the pitch when Billy Bonds took charge.

Well hump me sideways...Leicester 2-4 Newcastle. Where did that come from.

Scott / Compo West Ham probably had a team you guys would appreciate that day I first went to Upton Park. Big Phil Parkes in goal, Alvin Martin centre half, Tommy McQueen (ex aberdeen) Ray Stewart (I really dont remember much about him) Liam Brady in his final year. McAvennie.

Whats your like about them MrScott if I may ask? They have been a bit of a yoyo club and border the line about being an all Premier league club. My very first West Ham game was WBA at home in 1989 and WBA won 3-2 at upton park. I did go to the Hawthorns the next season and West Ham won 1-0..a certain Frank McAvennie was playing up top in his second spell.

Villa Park bidding to take the CL final rather than going to Istanbul - makes sense especially with empty grounds. Villa Park should still be used for FA Cup semi finals. Man Utd v Villarreal in the Europa Final - Arsenal were poor and bar Aubameyang's half chances they didnt look like scoring. It is the Unai Emery cup - his 5th final. But after watching them Man Utd have nothing to fear and should win that comfortably. I think it will be a Manchester double on the Euro fronts.

Some good games this weekend including the dress rehearsal of the CL final - and a chance for City to wrap up the title. Leicester 2-0 Newcastle Leeds 2-1 Tottenham Sheff Utd 1-0 Crystal Palace Man City 2-0 Chelsea (Champions) Liverpool 3-0 Southampton Wolves 1-0 Brighton Aston Villa 1-2 Man Utd West Ham 2-2 Everton Arsenal 2-0 West Brom (WBA relegated) Fulham 1-2 Burnley

McGregor for me.... To surpass The Goalie takes a lot and he has done it Im going left field to an extend with my 3 1. McGregor 2. Kent. 3. Barisic

Barisic is a must stay. At RB we have Patterson who could be the next Hutton. But as you mention perhaps Kamara would be the one to sell if Juve still want to pipe up 10m. Id like him to stay as he will get better.

Yes - he signed a new deal on the same day Klopp did at Liverpool - Im sure its until 2023

I guess we also need to consider Summer outgoings also - hopefully this remains squad players. Kent staying is top priority for me and in the event we needed to sell an asset to then spend on other areas Kent would be the one I wouldnt let go. Barisic is key also - and if he makes the Euro's he will be in the shop window unfortunately. But if we make the CL group stages I dont think anyone would want to leave.

I dont think they have been as good as two seasons ago due to their slow league start and the odd off performance as you mentioned but its been a slight tweak in formation which probably took a few weeks to get use to along with adapting without Silva and Kompany (more so last season) but in Foden and Diaz they have solved that issue. Id still have Aguero up top - his finish on Saturday was a rocket.
