Very poor performance against Everton last night but if the couple of chances had been taken it could have been a different end to the final result 1-0 to Everton.

Wasn't overly impressed with Slimani either tbh.

I saw the match too

I agree on they performed poor

Where was those TOON-players I saw in action against Arsenal and Man U.

They weren't on the field yesterday

Fulham play hosts to Sunderland tonight and I won't be in to watch it televised live but I have set my V6 box to record the match and am looking forward to seeing Mitrovic scoring a goal or two

Fulham won 2-1 and Mitrovic scored the winner

A bit surprised to see TOON go down 0-1 at home to WBA but you usually get what you deserve and in all fairness WBA have had some decent results in recent weeks.

Sunderland owner Ellis Short has agreed to sell the club to a group led by Stewart Donald, the chairman of National League side Eastleigh, the Wearside club have announced.

The club has also sacked Chris Coleman as manager.

Liverpool!!

Yep, two high scoring and thoroughly entertaining semi finals.

The hardesr task will be Arsenal in their semi final match tonight.

If the Reds win the CL I will be over the moon. Where did this come from? What an achievement. Can't wait for the final. It won't be easy, but they have a chance.

A victory would be amazing, but even without it, their success this year will pay off with more, and better, players looking to join the project.

About Sunderland.... I'm not a Newcastle supporter, nor a Sunderland, but I find it all a bit sad. Sure, they have no one to blame but themselves. They made a billion pounds in the PL, and managed to still have a terrible team.

But back to back relegations are a killer. There's no money in League One.

The sport news and the fans here in Denmark are, to say it nicely, furious

This due to the news that the Fans only got some thousand seats at the Final i CL and in EL

The rest of the seats, a majority, is for the business class.

They call it a scandal.

Both sides are allocated almost 17,00 and must be broken down as follows:

General supporter allocation - 63 per cent

Contractual supporter allocation; to include seasonal hospitality members and priority rights holders - 25 per cent

Match day officials/first team players/former players/media - 11 per cent

Commercial partners - contractual obligations - one per cent

The NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium’s has a capacity of 70,000 seats.

IMO it's a scam the fact that majority of the tickets are going to officials that probably don't even support either of these teams.
