Still the biggest club in England by a stretch, Top 5 in the world if your going off global fanbases and trophies won.Quote:

He might be arrogant but he's shown, domestically atleast, he knows what it takes to win trophies probably more than every manager that's ever managed here.Quote:

If it's Trophies won then surely Liverpool are the biggest club in England?Quote:

I agree my "stretch" comment was probably a stretch from myself, but I'd still say United are the biggest, in terms of global fanbases and the pull they have to bring in players even with the atrocious form for the last 10 years is what separates them from the rest.Quote:

Not a Liverpool fan but as it stands big clubs aren’t 15th in the league - Europa league final is massive for Utd (and Spurs / Ange) future. Whoever loses it will probably lose their job sooner rather than later.
You don't think Anfield is iconic?Quote:

It definitely is. It has arguably also the most famous "terrace" anywhere in football too.Quote:

That’s a pretty decent effort selling a full Hampden allocation in just a few hours. Makes you wonder where so many of them were just the other week for the semi win against H****s?Quote:

Tbh while I always advocate a 50/50 split at Hampden and was pleased to see them push for 20k and prove a point by selling out, I don’t buy the early start stuff. Plenty Aberdeen fans live in the central belt and for those that don’t, an early start is part of a Hampden day out. You only have to look to England where teams have to travel much more than 3 hrs to get to games at Wembley at times.Quote:

Seen this argument come up a dozen times yet I find it difficult to ever sympathise with it. I can’t imagine sacrificing watching Hibs in a semi or final because it was 3 and a half hours away. Saying that however, I’ve never had to think about it :D.Quote:

Irrelevant of whether it’s Aberdeen or whoever, a cup final is a neutral occasion. Giving one team more tickets than the other (and it’s always the west coat teams, or rather two of them to be precise) shows that neutrality does not exist one ****ing bit within the game in our country.
If the Glasgow Football Association could just skip the inconvenience of the actual final itself and just hand the trophy to either Celtic or Rangers they’d leap at the chance.
It’s shameful.

“I’ve quickly lost my love for Hearts, the way they treated him. I’ve never been back to Tynecastle. Once Josh signed for Hibs, it was all Hibs for the family. Even my in-laws, everyone turned to Hibs. It was strange, but it feels normal now.”Quote:

Some challenge in the opening minute. Accidental but the Ayr boy looks in trouble. Surely protocol stops him playing on. He doesn’t look like he knows where he is.

As soon as the game is stopped for a head knock it should be a 2 minute mandatory assessment. Not only would it improve player safety as waiting 10 mins watching someone staggering about is unacceptable but would also cut down on players getting the game stopped by feigning a head knock.
The standard of this play-off is dreadful. Two really poor teams and a whistle happy referee. At least Megwa is having a decent game.
Great idea.Quote:

Can’t see this game finishing 11v11 with this ref .
I cant believe var is forcing the ref to look at that. Its a perfect challenge!
Hw gives a pen. I must be going blind.
2-0 Inter
Don’t get the controversy. Replay shows the Barca defender doesn’t touch the ball and wipes the inter player out.Quote:

Absolute farce football is nowadays that is never a penalty wtf
Yep correct decision played the player not the ballQuote:

Can we watch this every week
Pen to Barca
During the 1st half i was thinking whats all the fuss with this Yamal, he's turned up in the 2nd half, giving the full back a torrid time.
Penalty or is it?

PSG maybe.Quote:
