Dark Munster

Ajax and Liverpool tied after extra time in the final. Ajax lead 5-4 on penalties. Up steps Lovren to take Liverpool's fifth.

We could ask Cardiff for advice.

That only could happen if English teams win both the Europa League and the CL, and both winners finish below the top 4. That can't happen now since Spurs are all but guaranteed to finish in the top 4 (and Liverpool obviously).

Learned a new word today. Cheers!

Well done Hants. Crushed Somerset, winner of division, bye into a home semi-final. I noticed one catch by a sub: did someone get injured?

You can say that again.

That's unfair on trees on golf courses.

It's his cunning plan to get Gao to loosen the purse strings.

Considering we're safe I think you may find the fallout disappointing.

Has it arrived yet?

Me neither.

Let's hope that's true. Should've done that straight after Pelle left. But better late than never.

If we draw or lose then we can realistically only move up one place if we beat Huddersfield. But win our last two matches and moving up 3 places (or at a stretch 4) is possible, for an extra £6-8 million in position money. It's a must win game. I'm getting nervous already.

Mitrovic

"Their time wasting in the corner, at home, was hilariously small time. They get funnier every season" "Surprised to see how they celebrated at the end! Tinpot." Projection (Psychological) 1) An unconscious self-defence mechanism characterised by a person unconsciously attributing their own issues onto someone or something else as a form of delusion and denial. 2) A way to blame others for your own negative thoughts by repressing them and then attributing them to someone else. Due to the sorrowful nature of delusion and denial it is very difficult for the target to be able to clarify the reality of the situation. 3) A way to transfer guilt for your own thoughts, emotions and actions onto another as a way of not admitting your guilt to yourself.

I suspect that very low quantity will be Gao's mantra this summer (and beyond).

If games were 8 seconds long we'd be about to win the league.

You mean putting his faith in Valery not getting injured. What if Valery had got a serious injury? The club got lucky he didn't (look at the awful game against Newcastle when he was missing for one match). They gambled by shipping Cedric off to save a bit in wages and got away with it. A goal scoring front man and a RB should be topping this summer's shopping list.

Well said.

It's been a glaring hole in the squad for over 2 years and hasn't been addressed (apart from panic buys of a Donkey and a crocked Ings). We may not be able to afford a top 6 striker, but we are an established team in the richest league in the world, with one of the highest payrolls outside the CL clubs. There's no excuse for not bringing in a decent front man years ago. Fulham did it with Mitrovic, for example.

This, this and this. It's no coincidence that we have conceded many late goals since Pelle left and wasn't properly replaced. I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned it yet, but bringing in a fit goal-scoring front man has to be the main priority this summer.

They're on the beach now, so City will probably sweep them away without much trouble. Brighton actually may be a tougher nut, since they are fighting for their lives. If they need a point on the final day they'll be parking 10 buses.
