Man U reportedly want 30m pounds for Lingard. Will West Ham pay it? They want him and you can't blame them after he's got them up in a Champions League spot.

Dead in the water. All English clubs officially out. Reported but unconfirmed that the Milan teams have followed. Juve, real, Barca and athletico holding firm.

Man Utd executive vice chairman resigned hopefully the owners are next.

Bizarre VAR red card in the West Ham vs Chelsea game. How can you get sent off for kicking the ball and an opponent running into your follow through? :huh3

Leicester City won the FA Cup. Cracking goal by Tieleman  :o.

As  much as wanted Leicester to win (they've never won a FA Cup), that Chelsea goal being overturned by VAR was ridiculous. That was level IMV yet because the attacker's shoulder on video replay was slightly in front of the defender they ruled it offside.

As much as I hate the Redshytes, ya gotta love it when the 'keeper scores - especially an injury time winner:

That would be a classy finish off the head of a striker let alone from a goalkeeper.

A massive winner too in terms of CL spots. If Chelsea fails again to Leicester then that opens the door for Liverpool to jump into the top 4.

After Liverpool's disastrous run with injuries, lucks a fortune & we have ended up 3rd & in the CL next season



A decent run of 8 wins & 2 draws in the last 10 games & helped by Chelsea & Leicester both choking overnight, we managed to finish just 5 point behind Manure in 2nd



Looking forward to 21/22 Season starting in August

Seemed Leicester was still partying over their FA Cup win. A poor last month by them in the League.

Good to see clubs other than the usual ones win a place in Europe. West Ham after a nervous last month deservedly finished 6th to win a place in Europa.

The last promotion spot for next year's EPL is down to Brentford and Swansea. Brentford hasn't be in the top flight since the end of WW2.

Chelsea has the wood on Man City. Knocked them out of the FA Cup and now the CL.

The last promotion spot for next year's EPL is down to Brentford and Swansea. Brentford hasn't be in the top flight since the end of WW2.
They might not last long in the EPL but great to see a club like Brentford win promotion after 74 years. They had their two oldest supporters in the stands who remember when they were last in the top flight.

Andy Maher just said he's heard Ange has got the gig at Celtic and that Muscat will be his 2IC.
