Really good effort from Iceland last night, and brilliant to hear Ronaldo complaining. Maybe you should have put one of your chances away if you didn't like seeing Iceland celebrating at the end.....

Good counter from Germany at the end, 2-0 it ends.

Good effort from Albania especially with them being down to 10 men, should have got something really, just poor finishing.

Honestly can't believe the under 21 PL teams being allowed to play in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. Why change it? It was perfect to give fans of League 1 and 2 clubs the chance to see their team lift silverware at Wembley......now it'll be Chelsea under 21 v City under 21

I heard they activated a release clause in his contract. If true, then there probably wasn't much Roma could do about where he goes.


Seen that yep, but also saw they're paying a bit less as otherwise more money goes to Pjanic himself if they pay the full clause. Think Roma end up with slightly more this way, something like that, but it doesn't matter really - it's way too low for a player of his quality.

Looks like Pjanic is off to Juventus Terrible from Roma to agree to sell him there, where's the ambition? If he won't stay then at least make him go abroad.

Burnley and Brighton were 2nd and 3rd despite having absolutely nothing aside from running around.


Spot on that, both times Burnley have just gone up in the last 3 years it's just been down to organisation, work ethic etc. Absolutely nothing to fear at all in this division, we're all as bad as each other!

Don't do it Zlatan! You're right about the media too by the way Franck. There used to be so much sh*t written about him until he scored four against England, unbelievably that's what it took for a lot of people to realise how good he is (a bit like Pirlo's performance v England at Euro 2012).

And Vardy too, for that matter, hope he stays - it'd be a shame for Leicester to lose one of their key men straight after winning the league.

Daily Mirror are saying Giggs has decided to leave the club.

Bye bye. https://s3.amazonaws.com/tapatalk-emoji/emoji216.png *waves*


How come you don't like him Sam? I know some actions in his personal life leave a lot to be desired, but he's one of the best players you've ever had and has been there for decades?

Michael Owen on John Stones: "He's probably the only player in the England squad who could walk into Barcelona's team at the moment.





Couldn't even get in a bottom half Premier League team towards the end of the season.

Awful appointment, it's like they're actually trying their best to wind us up.

Apart from one season where I was living abroad, I've had a season ticket since I was 5 (I'm 22 now) - but I'm finding it harder and harder to justify going. This isn't the Rovers I fell in love with!

Venky's out

Sterling is a fantastic footballer.


He's got some ability and is still young, but I've seen very little evidence to suggest he's fantastic.

1-0 Hull is my prediction.


Great prediction from this poster

Just had a feeling Sheff Weds would huff and puff but come up short, whereas Hull just have that extra quality and experience.

Guess it's time to start hanging out with you lot.


Welcome, after Villa's efforts this season you'll fit in well with the pessimism in this thread!

To be honest though, anything could happen with Villa next season I think, if you get your managerial appointment right then you could well be up there near the top. Get it wrong though and have the wrong type of player at the club....well you've seen how that's affected teams like Rovers, QPR etc!

"He leaves teams in dire states" blah blah blah. The only time that ever happened (except for possibly now, with us) was with Inter.


Was it? They'd just won the treble, he handed over a CL winning team. Managers after him just made a mess of it.

Bit harsh on Van Gaal that this has been leaked 30 mins, as you say Sam, after lifting the cup. Let him enjoy the moment.

I have roughly eight hours to learn a third of a maths course before an exam this afternoon and I have not slept for over 30 hours.

I genuinely hate myself.


How did it go?

Difference is the Venkys had David Dunn eating fried chicken in an advert


Haha! Yeah that was grim. Bet Dunny loved it though.

The last bit is slightly hilarious, but all encouraging stuff.


Be careful, Venky's said they wanted to get us in the Champions League within a few years

So Hull v Sheff Wed in the play off final, predictions people?


1-0 Hull is my prediction.

Would probably rather Sheff Weds get promoted though, only because it's somebody different in the PL.

Love Zlatan and his statistics have never been seen before in France or at PSG, but stopping the game to applaud is a bit too much considering he's only been there 4 years. Things like that should only be done for Totti, Maldini, Scholes etc, one club men. (Although I don't think Scholes would have wanted anything like that!)

What the fuck is Shearer talking about?

He's saying if Newcastle had been quicker and given him more time we would have stayed up. - Kinnear had a heart attack .

How does Shearer find a way to be a bigger moron every week. Can we go back in time and not sign the absolute walloper?


This is Alan Shearer you're talking about..

You're laying into Shearer and you were on Rafa's back after a couple of games yet you've never said a bad word about Mike Ashley or Pardew - doesn't make sense?

Plus I'm sure it was just Lineker who claimed that Shearer said that (probably ages ago), unless I misheard all Shearer said tonight about his reign was that he was the 4th manager that season.

Barca game only has to be a draw for Madrid to win it (as long as they win their own game, which they are doing atm).

Is it possible guys like Lacazette, who let's be honest none of us have actually seen before, might not actually be very good?


I've seen him in the flesh around a dozen times (Lived in Lyon for a year)

Haven't seen him much the last couple of years but his goal scoring record speaks for itself I think.

France have got some cracking talent in there but yeah, the above mentioned f*ck ups (especially no Lacazette) plus no Benzema, will cost them.

I'd go for either QS Flores (Watford would have been happy with 17th upwards but the last few months really have been poor, can't see the owners being too impressed) or Martinez (obvious reasons) to go first.

Wenger will never get sacked I don't think, Neil should keep his job (could see them doing next season what Burnley have just done), LVG.....quite possibly he'll leave although there's still a chance of top 4 and FA Cup, slim chance albeit.
