Nice to end off the season with another routine win.
99 points in total.
3rd and 4th place teams are nearer to relegated Bournemouth in terms of points than they are to Liverpool. ;D
Roll on next season,next year is our year (again)

What a collapse from Leicester! Utd are starting to get their act together.

Well done to Villa on staying up. As said already a big club with huge tradition that needs to stay in the Premier league.

Bournemouth and Watford should be suing hawkeye!

At the risk of being ridiculed lol i just read the last few pghs - 250k estimated deaths in UK?!

This is the bit im struggling with as i read similar on bbc, if china gets away with 3k deaths how are we hit so much worse? Even with china downplaying a bit they cant have hidden thousands of bodies,

Ps 1mill plus in US.....

I am sure there is vast under-reporting just like the initial outbreak in Wuhan was covered up for weeks before being reported to the WHO. However, China then pursued an aggressive tactic of testing in the community and disinfecting flats and communal areas were people were positively identified, forcing them to isolate or bringing them to the hospital to isolate if symptoms were too bad to manage at home. Also they would trace anyone they had contact with. In the UK they have stopped any community testing and only test for the worst cases in hospital, which is completely counter to the WHO recommendations of test, test, test... There is a documentary on YT called one month in Wuhan which is worth a watch!

The Uk figures are not in any way accurate in my opinion, massive cover up happening. I know one couple in England, return from Italy skiing 10 days ago, felt the symptoms, got tested and were told to self isolate for 14 days, they were never and still haven't been given their results though. Today in the SWAH hospital in Enniskillen apparently 1 person has died and another is critical with the virus, not a word of this being reported. Boris will pay for this in the long run but he doesn't care about the long run
Not many facts in that post.
Well unless the two nurses I know that are working there today are lying then I may be wrong!

The UK figures aren't accurate as they are no longer testing the general population only people hospitalised. Even Boris admitted on Friday that the true figure was up to 10K infected that was when there were 10 reported deaths. Now there are 21 deaths the figure is probably at least 20K.

I have no idea on stats but how many minutes would Liverpool's front 3 have played in comparison to the other top forwards in the premier league? Its impossible to keep that run of form going all season but I'd have thought once the league was secure which was 2 months ago then he could have concentrated on the cups.



I had hoped that Origi would see more game time after his burst of form in Europe at the end of last season. eg over a 5 game stretch each of the big 3 would get 1 game off, replaced by Origi.

Agreed, he should have. I hate that he is played on the wing when used, he is much better as a central attacker.

They'll try the closed door stuff first.

Only lasted a week in Italy before complete shut down!

I wouldn't go next or near any pub to watch it. Never go to a pub to watch games anyway but certainly wouldn't be going  to one for the Champions League Final.

BT Sport are streaming it live on YouTube so you don't even have to log off gaaboard to watch :)

I'd prefer to watch Harry Kane cry in HD!

If someone had said at the start of the season that Liverpool would only lose one league game but not win the title.....you would have been checking their medication. I think they need a De Bruyne or Hazard style midfielder to overtake city. Same two battling it out next season....unless Spurs add to their squad. I hope Liverpool win the CL final to have something to show for a great season.....but Ihave a nagging feeling that Spurs will nick it.

Champions League final is a toss-up, but I don't think too many Liverpool fans are downbeat at this point. Club will surely strengthen, and they are very well placed to compete at the top level in Europe and England for the next few seasons.

So go ahead and gloat gobshites. Most of us are feeling very positive about Liverpool, something that can't be said for your own club. 8)

Well said, Liverpool have done great to mount such a consistent challenge to a team who are funded by one of the richest countries on earth and who are operating outside of any financial fair play arrangements. Before you say Liverpool spent money, yes they sold one of their best players to generate that income. City have unlimited resource and it shows with the amazing squad they have.

did Woodward bow to the public clamour and appoint OGS too early? If he had stuck to his guns and waited to the end of the season would they have appointed him? I think not given the end to the season. but hope springs eternal.

Not a chance! Complete madness to give him the job in the first place. He got a bit of a bounce that all new managers get and a very lucky win against PSG.
His managerial record shows nothing that would suggest he's up to the job of managing a club like United. He'll be gone by March next season and the merry go round will continue.
If anyone at United had any sense they would call an end to it now and go after Poch.

Should go for Chris Hughton would do a better job than Ole. He must be the most badly treated manager in EPL history.

Imagine Fearon was still on the Board?

What happened to him? Did he leave to become Harry Kane's social media manager?

I think Rashford is a class player and would easily have a place in Liverpool's or City squad. Also think Martial has not shown his true potential in a Utd shirt. I wish Sanchez would have replaced Suárez at Liverpool but think he is finished now unless gets an new lease of life elsewhere...

A great comeback but not best ever. In golf alone surely Ben Hogan. In sport Niki Lauda.

I thought Hulk Hogan's comeback at Wrestlemania III against Andre the Giant was the best ever in sport :)

I was very happy to see Tiger win again, hope for other injured athletes.

Parents/friends were probably suspects for two reasons:
1) A body has to be in a location a certain amount of time for cadaver dogs to be able to detect scent - which they did in both the apartment, Kate's clothes and McCann's rental car. These were English dogs that had a solid track record.
2) The only independent witness to a possible abduction (father of an Irish family) informed Gardai sometime after the fact that they were 80% certain the man they saw walking what they thought at time was a sleeping child towards the beach that night was Gerry McCann.
None of this is to say they were in any way responsible (find it hard to believe they could be), but police should always investigate immediate family and friends in situations like this.

Completely, agree! What screams guilt to me is Kate WASHED Maddies favourite comfort toy (cuddle cat) before the police came to collect DNA evidence. What mother of a missing child would do such a thing? Why would you want to lose your daughter's smell from it. I believe the theory of the ex-police chief in Portugal, Maddie fell from the window ledge in the living room (there was a sofa to climb on to it). Gerry took charge and covered it all up (he is a cool customer).

Wasn't he at st Brigids in Armagh as well for a time?

Yeah, I think he left St Pat's and then went to Principal at St Brigid's.  I left St Pat's in 1995 and I think it was shortly after that he moved across the city.

Yes think he moved in the late 90s. Funny how the Tyrone posters have a different view on him but in fairness he was extremely biased towards the Tyrone contingent at St. Pats, so I suppose he was ok if you weren't been put in bins or kicked for having your feet sticking out from under the desk etc...
