Does this mean Cap'n Jack is staying put...? 

Just put a post after at the same time. He's for sale for £40m as he doesn't feature in Pep's Grand Plan apparently. Rangers bound perhaps? 2 idiots together, if so.

With his love of anything City RM might be first in the queue to buy Grealish who is up for sale at £40m.

Nobody has commented about Scotland's 3-1 home defeat to Iceland, although I've only read the match report. Their first choice keeper is Angus Gunn, and after he went off injured their sub was even worse apparently. If Bazunu did end up there he'd only have competition from other non-Scottish players, it would seem, as Scotland don't train keepers any more..

My Scottish son-in-law is still laying quietly in a dark room. 😂

Have an injury list as long as your arm, win a trophy and get shown the door. Nice.

Maybe teams and upcoming managers around the world will copy PSG's tactics now, and they've been entertaining to watch in all of their Champions League matches this season.

Maybe managers will have the balls to get rid of those players who think they are above the club. Enrique got rid of Mbappe with his toxic attitude and put his faith in young, hungry players and now look. So often the troublemakers think they are sitting pretty because of the clubs need for their footballing skills. Pogba always gave me the idea he thought he was bigger than Man U and Arteta had his problems with Aubameyang and Ozil doing as they pleased. PSG are a refreshing example of how the prima donnas with attitude can be offloaded and not missed.

Inter's left back is a fucking liability.

Has all the credentials for a spell at St. Mary's.

Spurs v PSG Super Cup should be a cracker.

Bet Spurs can't wait.

From a mate - Rumour is Intoxicated, trying to leave the area, hits a pedestrian, crowd react and attack vehicle, driver goes into (Intoxicated) fight or flight then hits another pedestrian, reacts late and veers into crowd. 

The penalties for drunken drivers is far too lenient. They cause utter carnage but get handed down a few years inside then come out to resume living their lives. Too soft like a lot of things in this country.

And just to add another kick up the arse Saints leave with yet another embarrassing record to their name. Lowest points from home games ever in the Premier League.

Great for Sunderland,my second team since the mid sixties,due to Jim Montgomery. [ I remember Monty being on loan to Saints in 1975, for a month [ 4 games ].

Also great to see Aberdeen win the scottish cup.

It's been a good season for the so-called underdogs. I like that.

Well at least I get another local game next season. Will be interesting to see how Sunderland fare in the PL. 

They will enjoy their trip to St James's Park. 😂

It's been a day for surprises. Sunderland winning promotion and Arsenal Women winning the champions League. Good to see them getting their dreams.

I think it will for United, given they have another one of those hipster managers’ wedded to a system completely unsuitable to his environment

Amorin must rue leaving Sporting Lisbon who have won their league playing the way Amorin set them up to play. He hasn't been able to transfer that style to United.

Two horrible clubs. If only one of us promoted sides could've put up a fight this season to drag them into a relegation scrap

That scenario has crossed my mind more than once. I would have enjoyed seeing 2 of the so called Big Six slide down to the Championship.

Russell Martin going to Leicester was entirely predictable

What a shame Vardy won't be there. It would be Karma for him having to suffer Russball.

Unfortunately, City managed a win. That should shut Dias up at least. Bournemouth must play proper football unlike us and Palace. If Man U win tonight will they fall into the same trap as last season in keeping a failing manager just because they win a trophy at the end of it?  I would prefer to see Spurs win. Postecoglu has had a dreadful season for injuries and my Dad loved his Spurs.

We need someone to write summary of the season, any suggestions or volunteers?

to include all the highs  and lows

S Clarke always writes a good review. 

I won't be following the modern trend. It will be Championship and Southern Combined Premier for me next season with the 2 teams I have always supported, Southampton and Guernsey. VAR free and grass roots. Suits me.

Apparently when Giardiola had a pop at him at the final whistle, Henderson said “you got your 10 mins”, which riled the Man City manager.

Good for him. I wouldn't let Guardiola and his entitled bunch spoil a minute of his celebration.

I didn't see Henderson doing anything, so was Pep just having a go at a winning player for managing the game?

Like his team don't dive, whine and try for every advantage, fair or not, that they can.

Pep does a lot of that after the final whistle. He often 'has a word' with an opposition player who he thinks should have been shown a card or sent off. Yesterday he had a stop watch, just to make sure he wasn't being denied a nanosecond of play. I don't like that side of him. Unless you were a City fan, I reckon the whole country were behind Palace. I just wish Forest could have been in the final with them and not entitled City. Great to see a different name on the FA Cup. Long may it continue.

Ramsdale for me. We would have an even worse goal difference without him as we will likely find out next season.

My Uncle and cousins were in that fire. They escaped through a toilet window eventually, and they lost my eldest cousin (aged 10 at the time) on the escape. Luckily, he was found safe afterwards. My uncle picked up some awful burns and scars, including on his head when molten tar fell on him during the escape. Luckily they all got out safely.

My uncle rarely talks about it - I think those involved were deeply scarred by the event.

That came across very clearly in the programme. Grown men in tears recalling that day. I was especially moved by the lady who waved her husband and 2 sons off to watch the match and never saw them again. I don't know how you come back from that and I hope I never have to find out. 

Unforgotten. The Bradford City Fire on BBC2 is a sobering reminder of that awful day. The club had been through some awful times with very real concerns that they would not survive. In 1985 they gained promotion to Division 2 and paraded the trophy around the ground before kicking off their final game of the season. What should have been a wonderful day to celebrate became one to remember for all the wrong reasons. 

40 years on and the scenes of how the fire took hold that day still have the power to shock. The sheer speed from a few wisps of smoke to a blazing inferno engulfing the entire stand took just 5 minutes. The blaze had started from a discarded cigarette end falling through the gaps in the floorboards to ignite rubbish underneath the seats. The wooden stand stood no chance. Doors were locked to stop people getting in for free and it was here that the majority of the bodies were found. 56 people died that day with hundreds more injured, some severely. 

This tragedy brought about huge changes to sports stadiums. Concrete replaced wood and doors had to be either manned or able to be opened from the inside. The treatment of burns learned new skills from this disaster too.

The people of Bradford feel that day has been forgotten. It is the Hillsborough's we remember. Worth a watch if you haven't seen it. 

Everton won't be letting us spoil their last match at Goodison.

I noticed the Forest owner has had another meltdown in public, had a row with Nuno on the pitch at FT.

He's a nut job that guy.

He needs to have a look at the last couple of seasons that Forest had. Nuno has done wonders with that club. I hope he gets Manager of the Year but I suppose that's going in the direction of Anfield. I don't like to see people get bawled out in public. No need for it.
