Given that you live in Austria I am surprised that you care. Will you get kicked up if we leave Europe?

For those who knock England all of the time I wonder if they watched Alfs Boys last night? For those of us of a certain age that was a lovely trip down memory lane but it was interesting to hear Motty say that the crowds didn't really get interested until we got further in the competition and you could have walked up to the gate and bought a ticket on the night for the Uruguay match. If we progress in the competition I am sure more people will start to care. As for those who keep using the word "Woy" to knock the manager, what is this? A f*cking kindergarten? Grow up!

Just like it was last summer and the summer before that? A disaster is when a plane crashes. A bit of perspective is required.

How do you know that RK will not sign a new contract. If he doesn't why does that mean that Mane wouldn't sign a new contract?

Happy days. How times have changed!!!

It is easier to keep a player when their options are limited. If it is true that he has the chance of CL football why wouldn't he want to take it? Are clubs like Spuds interested in players like JWP? Players might dream of playing for bigger clubs, but that is only going to happen if big clubs want them which is precisely why we lost Clyne, Lallana, Lovren and Morgan. Re Chambers I have a feeling we were happy to let him go and given his performances at Arsenal I can see why. I am not saying that JWP would have signed a new contract if Manchester United had been after him because I don't know, but his decision to stay would have been harder. With one year on the contract and CL football knocking I think more players than just Vic would be tempted.

To be fair, how many players wouldn't go to a bigger club if the chance was there? That's how we also recruit players - we sign them because we are a bigger club than the one they are at.

I prefer Ron to be honest so am thankful that Poch left.

Someone needs to remind Vic that Liverpool aren't in Europe next season and that Spuds will choke again!

Not sure why there is an assumption that something is going on behind the scenes when a player is left out. Why cant it just be that the manager thinks that another player deserves to be picked in their place?

No proof whatsoever that the BBC "hates us." The article is about Leicester being shown the first most times and Stoke (the BBC must really hate them) being shown last the most times. We were shown first one time. Tottenham twice. Watford once. West Brom not at all. But let's make this about the BBC and us eh?

Not that good then.

You would have to go some to get sent off before the match starts, but then I am sure Osvaldo could manage it. Always thought that it was a waste of time making players go off when they are injured. It was supposed to stop players wasting time but hasn't made the slightest bit of difference.

To be fair Sour I would say United's demise this season was more down to Van Gaal than Muslims.

And yet Leicester lost key players to suspension in the run in and still got results. So perhaps there is such a thing as a Plan B?

Which is exactly the point Ruud Gullit made on MotD a couple of weeks back.
