Could Real beat Liverpool?

Really disappointing from Madrid tonight. Trailing by a goal, absolutely have to score, at home and Ederson hasn't had a shot to save in the first 80 mins. That's canny pitiful tbh.

Regardless of where he goes Man U's treatment of him over the last 6 months has been shocking. Blocked a move that would have generated cash via a fee, saved wages for 5 months and severely pissed off a player who had been there for years. All for the sake of 3 poxy appearances in 4 months. Dreadful management of the squad, the player and the club finances. Obtuse and backward logic.

Going to be a delicate balancing act this summer of strengthening the first XI and being a bit canny with the transfers. Players like Lingard being brought in without a fee whilst selling their previous incumbent means we an prioritise the cash in the key areas. Shifting, for arguments sake, Almiron on for about £12m and replacing him with Lingard would be a smart move - improves the first XI and generates cash towards a CF. I don't think anyone is under the illusion that he's going to be here for the next 7 years and retire here but it suits both parties for a couple of seasons. It's all about getting the balance.

Probably took a minute to decide if it was a shot or a poor cross

SoT according to PP and Sky

They've been belittling virtually every other team in the 'tinpot' league for years now. They're quick to tell as many people how fucking huge and class they are compared to the rest of the opposition. They're everyone's Cup Final, taking piss out of smaller away followings and so on, it's been relentless from them on there. Now it's suddenly arrogant and bad. Self praise is no praise at all.

We obviously softened them up a little on Saturday for Villarreal

Not keen on him but Roy Keane has been brilliant for the last 30 mins tonight. Naming his best Man U XI and giving reasons why.

Am I being cynical here or have they timed these subs to coincide with the walk out protest?

7 fouls now. Still nowt

Football management is a piece of piss when you've got a crystal ball and can look into the future and see how players develop at a lower level. Then you can have utter spenks like Edwards, who barely understands the sport he's covering, throw shit like this back at you in public.

Not even pretending to be serious, he's purely on the wind-up and after some confrontation. Couldn't be more obvious

The vile little wanker is about to discover that actions have consequences. No sympathy whatsoever for him

43 is phenomenal like, genuinely pleased for the bloke

I predict an interesting couple of weeks for this little piece of shit.

Get fucked man. Bottling cunts

Is Pickford 8? Utter fucking arsehole.

Were these Everton players giving this much for Rafa?

Alonso

Champions of Europe? Not one of them look like they give the first fuck this afternoon. Shocking hour of football from them.

That was their chance to wrap it up. They'll regret that in an hours time

Would love to see this lot kick the absolute living fuck out of each other and the game to end 0-1

Goalscorer and player shot on target accas - 1st May.

538 have it as: Everton 60% Leeds 28% Burnley 12% Huuuuge game for Everton tomorrow, hope Chelsea don't have their flipflops on
