Nuno leaving Wolves.

They might face some trouble next year.

Look at the goals for column; fvcked.

Also would Neves not be looking to move up a level now at this stage? Surely Yanited could plunder, though they'd get the cheque book well stung in return, disproportionately so.

Still baffled none of the so called top 6 went for Moutinho that time he ended up at Wolves, I know a lot to do with the agent but was there for the taking. Probably not much left in him now.

Yeah only the bottom 4 clubs have scored less than them. The nasty injury Jimenez sustained definitely didn't help their cause.

I see Nuno is now odds on favourite for the Spurs job. Not sure about that myself but looking at the list there isn't really a lot of standout contenders.

VAR may have made a c**k up there. Doesn't look like Fernandes touched that. Glorious finish from Cavani all the same.

What is the role or VAR there.  Are they entitled to figure out who touched it or do they go on who the ref thinks touched it.  If its the ref does it have to be clear and obvious for them to overturn

Honestly with VAR these days who knows. Saw this from an ESPN journalist on Twitter:

" I'm told the VAR didn't have definitive evidence from several angles that Fernandes didn't touch the ball (which was needed for Cavani to be ruled offside)."

Surely he'll go to either United, City, Real or Barcelona? Who else is there?

100m transfer? More maybe?

I think he has the PL goals record in his sights so I'd be very surprised if he moved abroad.

Liverpool lucky enough there from that WBA corner. Man in his road or not Alisson was getting nowhere near Bartley there.

Only seen highlights on the cup final this morning and as much as I dislike Chelsea that is a sickening way to lose.

Great goal to win it and a couple of great saves from Schmeichel added into the mix. IMO he's very underrated as a goalkeeper. Has been one of the best keepers in the league for some time now.

This is unwatchable here at the moment. Unbelievable how bad they are playing. Liverpool are pressing well but it's like some of them have never played football before.

TAA somewhere back to his best going by that first half.

Maguire's absence is certainly felt at those set pieces. TAA been causing a lot of bother from open play too.

Sounds likes lads are going to try and get the game postponed again!
Wont be a chance in hell that fans get within half a mile of the stadium and team hotels tonight

Yeah you would think the police would be well aware of the situation and have a decent level of security in place. Hopefully the fans recognise this and stay at home. You'd fear if they're stopped in their tracks that it could turn much nastier than the last time...

Not sure what getting another game postponed would really achieve unless getting points deducted is the end result they are looking to send a message to the Glazers.

Great effort from Manure, getting the result they wanted.

Yeah, but Liverpool have no one to blame but themselves if they don't make it. They squandered plenty of ridiculous points, including against Leicester.

I just don't ever want to hear United fans on about the integrity of the game and all that bollocks.

I'm old enough to remember Ferguson pontificating and preaching about Liverpool putting in a proper effort against Blackburn on the last day of 94/95.
Not Uniteds fault. Why or how would they play full strength 3 times in 5 days?

So if the Liverpool game had been Tuesday, the reserves would have lined out then, and full strength teams against Villa and Leicester?

If your aunt had balls she'd be your uncle.

Selby must be an absolute nightmare to play against.

When he's at the top of his game he can tie his opponent up in knots. Every time they come to the table they seem to have a problem.

He's great at what he does and is super effective but he can be unbearable to watch too. When he's in on a break he's not too bad but anytime he knows he's going to have to hand the the table back to his opponent he seems too take an unnecessary amount of time as it to make them stew that wee bit longer.

Aye that's the thing. It's fairly warped. You've these supporters getting at wealthy owners yet applauding players earning a million a month and totally detached from their fan base, funded by these owners.

Not really sure what these fans want.
They are peddling a misty-eyed Newton Heath narrative when in fact they've just got the wrong sort of billionaire. They are living in the shadow of City and would give anything to have the bottomless pit of cash City have.

City's owners might have a bottomless pit but it's not City's to spend. They can only spend what they generate which is sort of the point. Utd's revenue stream is one of the biggest in the world and the owners are siphoning it into their own pockets.

God that LOD finale was dreadful. Really disappointed with that.
