Been a fantastic tournament to watch! Helps that England have just retained the title of course!

Some speculation that the drone strikes on the airfields, that likely took out two A50s, has left them with no flying A50s. The F16 taking down the SU35 certainly suggests they don’t have enough AEWACS capability for complete coverage any more. It’s an extremely significant shift in the balance of power if Ukraine has AEWACS and Russia doesn’t any more.

Knock on effects are already starting to bite. Russia has been relying more and more on their road network for logistics as their rail network is suffering from severe lack of maintenance. Now every single traffic route is snarled up with cargo traffic being inspected.

What the Ukrainians just hit IS what the Russians use to reply. Their ability to target Ukrainian civilian targets in the way they have been just took a significant and permanent hit.

That is a ridiculously massive hit to an extremely limited and irreplaceable Russian military capability.

Shows you how far Man Utd have fallen when not even Spursy can save their season! That said, how are Spurs one place above the relegation zone and European Champions?

Wow. What a day for Palace and their fans!

10 mins feels a bit excessive to me.

I remember Chelsea’s medic kicking off against Mourinho a few years back but the medics kicking off against each other is a new one for me as well.

Not enough to be overturned by VAR. Some refs would have judged that Haaland would have had a clear sight of an open goal from a wide angle without the handball, and sent the keeper. I don't think VAR would have overturned that.

Should have been but VAR doesn't decide on that once they decided it wasn't a red. I think he was fortunate not to be sent though.

I know some people don’t like the playoff games but they just serve up absolutely fantastic matches so often, as well as keeping far more teams in a fight for something to play for far further into the season. I do think they could make it fairer on the teams finishing higher by making it 5th vs 6th, followed by the winner of that playing 4th, followed by the winner of that playing 3rd. It’s the same number of fixtures, albeit with trickier scheduling.

Did he think the players should just ignore the fans going nuts all around them and go “Y’know, stay quiet, we haven’t been good enough this season to be allowed to celebrate keeping a clean sheet against the champions…” It’s even funnier being able to see how much it’s irked Sutton. Probably ruined his accy or something

Having sat through this season can only make me wonder how it was possible for Derby to be so monumentally terrible that they did worse.
