Milan 1 up against Inter in the Coppa Italia semi-final. 2-1 up on aggregate
Decent game so far.
Think this goal will stand…..
Wasn’t offside but ball out off play
What a goal. 2-2
Don’t know why teams mess about at the back as much as they do now .
3-0 Milan. Been a great game and should've scored a few more goals.
It's like a fire drill at the Emirates, even with a few mins to go.
That’s going to be an interesting semi final on Saturday between Palace and Villa , really hoping Villa win it for SJM’s sake .
I wouldn't say he's smug either. Bit dull maybe but then he's probably been in the job too long.
I liked him as a player for England and especially (as a one-time Goodison season ticket holder) for Everton. Superb striker. The Walkers crisps stint got a bit wearing tho and as you say when he started fancying himself as a political commentator he started to hack people off, myself included.
I liked this article on pushy parents at the football, which mirrors my own experiences, and which thankfully has nothing to do with politics or the rights and wrongs of genocide.

It's come to the stage now, that anyone who people disagree with on some points are insulted by one put down or another.
Whatever happened to disagreeing and then moving on.
Dont get me wrong, some folk like Trump deserve everything he gets, but folk who've just played football and commented on it are allowed an opinion, like the rest of us.
In what way would you say he's brave? With a £1.5 million salary behind him he's not really likely to fall far for saying something out of turn. Plus he'll walk into further highly lucrative roles once he leaves MOTD. I don't have an issue with his salary, but his accompanying man of the people schtick grates on the nerves.
I've just never warmed to the guy. Possibly rooted in that time he scored a hat-trick for England to the soundtrack of John Motson (or possibly Barry Davies) shouting 'Linekaaa!' and Jimmy Hill in the background crowing 'Oh ho ho!'.
I’d say putting that kind of salary on the line by expressing your views is very brave.
There’s no guarantee he would replicate that anywhere else particularly if he’s left his current employment basically for his those very views at a time where employers are wary of being seen to
be doing the right thing whether it’s right or not.
