not much choice!

To be fair they couldve done more to keep Rafa. But hey ho looks like the championship for us next year - is that 4 relegations in his tenure? Has any other chairman presided over such turmoil

I didn't ever think I'd write the following:

UEFA Europa League - Group K, Matchday 2

Besiktas JK 0-1 WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS

When centre back Willy Boly turns into Steve Bull and slams home our 5th stoppage time goal, of the 2019/20 campaign already!

It wasn't the greatest watch, but 3 wins in 8 days, in 3 competitions confirms we are back!

Shame Leicester were robbed of a point at Diverpool.

When the going gets tough, the tough go diving...
Yadda yadda. No other teams have players that dive. The team I wanted to win lost right at the end. Wa wa wa wa. Mate get a life. Diverpool? How old are you? I bet you would still be crying if there was no VAR and something didn't go your way.

It was a foul, the Leicester player stood on Mané's foot.

If a player is fouled in the box, then as far as I'm concerned they have every right to go down to try and win a penalty. How many times do you see a penalty kick awarded to a player who's fouled in the box but stays on their feet?

Central Taxis East of Scotland League 1st Division Conference A

Ormiston 4-0 Peebles Rovers

Ormiston get their first league win since the 12th of January and move off 2nd bottom of the table. It was much deserved after coming away from games empty-handed recently despite some improved performances.

Sholing 1...Winchester City 2 (Mason 4; Barron 20, Panesar-Dower 74)

Winchester City took 3 points in a local derby after going a goal down early on. Jamie Barron equalised and from then on it was the visitors who looked more likely to win, with Dom Panesar-Dower pouncing when Sholing's keeper dropped the ball from a corner.

Win a penalty? Blatantly cheat you mean? Clear dive by Mane, the very thing VAR is supposed to be stamping out.

Did anyone see the Spurs goalkeeper dislocate his elbow yesterday?

I will be very surprised if he plays again this season

You might well be right, it looked very nasty. It was a calamitous error that lead to it.

What really amuses me is whenever Liverpool get a penalty because a player's gone down in the box after being fouled (and Mané was quite clearly fouled by the Leicester player, watch Albrighton's reaction), there's nothing but absolute outrage. However, if it's any other team in the league then it's completely acceptable because nobody says anything about it.

Who will stop Liverpool/Diverpool as one guy on here calls them? It'll be tough. I'm a Manc Red so anyone but is fine with me. City the least I guess but even that's better...
