Didn't watch the game. Only going on the NBC pundit comments regarding the referee blowing the whistle before the ball reached the United net, which meant it couldn't be reviewed. Keeper didn't look to have the ball under control to me.

Martinez red of course blatantly correct.

Why is the chat around Utd? Has there been any chat last day on teams that are soooooo low down the table?
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Red correct call. Debatable call to disallow the Villa goal and then went on to concede two goals after it, the 2-0 win didn't flatter United. To quote lurganblue Villa was "pure muck" and got what they deserved for that performance today.

The sending off was correct although I imagine Villa will say Hojlund's touch was heavy, wide and took him on to his wrong foot going away from goal with two defenders in the area.

The Villa goal was correctly officiated but the wrong decision.  The referee made the call and the ball was dead.  There was nothing that could be done.  It was however horrendous defending and goal keeping

Because it had a direct impact on who qualified for the CL.

Yes, Villa were robbed. That goal stands and they probably escape with a draw at least. Then again, they were dreadful and the Martinez red was one of the most mental c**k ups I've seen for a good while, so they deserved what they got.

The chat is about Villa really not Man United.
Tomorrow is not guaranteed

Pure muck is 100% correct. I watched that game and it wasn't pleasant from start to finish. Really utd should have scored 7 or 8.

Robbed with that decision of course. Shambolic officiating. Something I have come to expect now.

Villa went on to concede 2. They deserved nothing from that game. I actually could have predicted that they would get nothing from it too from at least a week ago.

Europe League it is, and no doubt a lot of sales coming too. Likely Martinez, Digne, Watkins... maybe Ramsey for pure profit.

Forest no doubt disappointed for not getting Champions League but from 16th last year to Europe is a great achievement.

If Chelsea win the Conference League do Forest move up to Europa League and Brighton get into Conference?
When you think you're fucked you're only about 40% fucked.

My God there's that many PL teams in the champions league it looks tougher not to be involved.

Yet it's still  called the "champions " league.

Just another step  closer to a  European super league.

9 Premier League teams in Europe next season. It used to be restricted to 7. Think they should go back to that tbh.

Yes i think that is the craic, heard them saying they won't know until Wednesday if England get another European spot but this must be why.

Brighton cant qualify. They needed Newcastle or Chelsea to finish 7th apparently. Weird, complex set of affairs but no Brighton in Europe.

No surprise that the Aussie Mate is shown the door and looks like his replacement will be a Danish makker.
