https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64168691 The inevitable has happened, Conte gone, with Stellini in charge for the remaining 10 games. Top 4 will be difficult for them as all the teams around them have games in hand.

I can live with that.

Yes please.

Bubble machines at football. Resembles a nursery more than a football ground.

I think I heard somewhere that he has played the most minutes of any player in Europe. Testament to how he looks after his mental and physical health.

You do wonder whether the likes of Moyes and their brand of football are being superceded by the newer breed, eg. Roberto De Zerbi, Thomas Frank, Marco Silva, Michael Carrick, Vincent Company etc and the football their teams play.

We hadn't shown anything to give us confidence we would get back into the game up until the Fulham implosion.

C'mon, we all know 'Una cerveza por favor'.

To be fair, Ramsdale did well to get back but the chip was inch perfect.

Quarter final draw: Man Utd v Sevilla Juventus v Sporting Lisbon Bayer Leverkusen v Union Saint-Gilloise Feyenoord v Roma Semi final draw: Feyenoord/Roma v Bayer Leverkusen/Union Saint-Gilloise Juventus/Sporting Lisbon v Man Utd/Sevilla Probably the toughest draw we could have had, but bring...

A Madrid - Napoli final would be very tasty indeed.

Rooney's goal was much better. Apart from his goal last night I thought Rashford was having an indifferent game, where most things he was trying were not coming off, be it his control, passing or touch. Still having a brilliant season though - keeping @Sideshow Bob busy on another thread. It...

And taking into account the mid-season break for the World Cup. Just wow, going to break all sorts of records before he hops it to Madrid.

I don't think you can judge him on that game as they played against 10 men for the majority of the game, and there was a lot of space for him to exploit.

Mindless oxygen thieves. The social media outlets need to have a zero tolerance policy on these users and immediately delete the accounts, and forward the information to the authorities. A single form of ID should also be prerequisite in the process of creating accounts.

Looks like Nick Pope got away with one today, appears to foul Jiminez, but ref and VAR decide no red card, foul or penalty.

Thought he did very well when he came on today, steady in midfied and tracked back well.

Maybe a loan to Middlesborough or Sunderland next season, but a bit more game time needed before we cast him aside.

Yes, several of them ran towards the ref to ask for the penalty.

Hopefully the prognosis is not too bad, does not look good but it was a fair tackle.

Two points dropped, even with 10 men, we should have enough to beat the team currently bottom of the league. In the first half there was a pass into Rashford running through but unfortunately he could not control it, and then the red card. We did well in the second half with 10 men but should...

He is probably the player in the whole squad who is the most composed on the ball, but I do agree he does need to scrap a lot more than he does to try and get the ball back.

It's one of those that looks worse than it is especially in slow motion, and as we all know if it looks worse in slow motion replays then invariably the result is a red card.

His square pass nearly cost a goal. Both him and AWB need to thank Licha for bailing them out of trouble.

See I don't think it was as the ball hit the defender high up at the front of his shoulder.

Brilliant, misses the next 3 games. Left the ground with both feet, out of control, can't argue with the red card.

Sadly at the minute, polititians know that a strong focus on immigration is a vote winner, regardless of inflation, fuel and food poverty, and chronically underfunded public services.

He didn't call anyone anything, he drew attention to the language the Tories are using, and the similarities to language used in the past.

Deflecting the attention from Fiona Bruce who did not really deal very well with the discussion on Question Time about Stanley Johnson breaking his wife's nose, especially as it was International Women's Day 24 hours earlier.

I wouldn't even bother trying to get a fee, just need him off the books and out of the club.

I've always been impressed with him whenever he has come on. He has blistering pace, very good close control of the ball, good movement and decision making. He deserves to get a more minutes than he currently does.

I think he could make himself bigger or close a striker down quicker than he currently does, as I don't think preventing goals is just about shot-stopping. I'm not saying he should be sold, yet, as there are clearly other areas of the squad that are a priority, however, we do need a keeper with...

Chuffed for Wout to get his goal at OT. He seems to play as we would in the shirt. Gives 100%, knows the limits of his ability and is enjoying every single second of it for however long it lasts. He knows he is not the answer to our shortage of striking options but will enjoy the ride...

We've returned to the situation where we feel so much more reassured when we see AWB at right back.

Brilliant finish last night. I think EtH will work on his right foot in preseason as he at least needs to be able to kick a ball with it, and find team mates who are unmarked in front of an open net. To progress to the next level he cannot continue to be so one-dimensional.

I don't know if it is just me but I have never got the whole Neymar thing, he's a good player but have never thought he was anything special.

We are a very different club to PSG. They wanted to quickly build the stature of PSG and attempted to do this by flexing their muscles with galactico type signings. Look at how the Saudis have so far managed their spending at Newcastle, very conservative compared to others, including us. The...

I'm wondering whether these rumours are the Glazers trying to get bids closer to their asking price.

Exactly. Another example of the FA trying to sanitise the game. Without emotion and passion, we have no game.

After a few understandably emotional posts in the aftermath of the debacle of yesterday, the dust has settled and I feel I can think with a little more clarity. First half: we weathered their expected fast start really well and as the half progressed we started to control the game, silenced the...

He was an emeregency loan signing, offers very little other than being a nuisance in midfield. We will not be retaining his services.

His energy is both positive and negative. His boundless energy is infectious (yesterday not included), however alot of the time the energy is misplaced, complaining to his team mates or officials. As you say, replacing him is not a priority, but if EtH thinks he is not the right character for...

I agree, he reminded the players of their obligations and to not run off to the dressing room.

They were gloating quite a lot and as grown men is was embarrassing. I think Keano and Neville would have had more decorum and been gracious in victory.

I thought Keano could have helped Gary Neville a bit more as Carragher and especially Souness, tried to make it out like Liverpool were world beaters and it wasn't a freakish result.

I think you're being a bit kind there. He was a disgrace. He should lead by example, gather the troops and ensure we don't concede any more after the third goal. He downed tools and the team followed. Also, he needs to stop whinging about every single decision. I'm sure if he put as much...

For this exact reason, we have our roast at lunchtime.

Done

That behaviour was not befitting from the captain of our club. He stopped trying in the second half, where was the fight till I die attitude. A knee jerk reaction but I'd strip him of the captaincy for that.

I think Bruno has been a disgrace in the second half. You cannot ask to be subbed.

How many miles are the boys running tomorrow?

Ffs

Dalot realy worrying me, has started poorly.

Yep. Today's result will now have them believing it is their year.

Criminal waste of talent. Seems like he has fallen out of love with the game.

Agreed, the message needs to be greater than 'when the fun stops, stop'. If only it was that easy then people would stop drinking or smoking in the blink of an eye. Gambling related harm affects the individual and those around them.

Carrick was a brilliant player for us, however, for Casemiro to boss games like he does, retain that desire and hunger to win games - dragging the whole team with him, being a leader, connecting immediately with the fans, after coming from Real where he won everything, shows what a very special...

Yep, hating since 2005.
