And if West Ham had instead said "no thanks, we're using that money to build our own stadium", what would have been the alternative then?

I agree. With your sarcasm. It's so fucking refreshing seeing two teams facing each other in a big game with mutual respect between themselves and their fans. That said, this is taking it a bit too far...

I'm not, but it wouldn't change my view. Can you tell me what would have been the alternative to West Ham's move in? If I got it right, West Ham are paying 2.5m rent for 99 years. Presuming they're staying in the Prem. That would be 247.5m. They could build a new stadium with that money that...

I don't understand what's people's problem with this. You've built a new fancy stadium, so use it! What was the alternative to West Ham moving in? Leyton Orient moving in? Using it only for random events? Football is a big English export and a domestic business plus a free time activity. It only...

All right, forget your boring La Liga ties in the Champions league and your foregone conclusions of Bayern facing some selling clubs from Portugal, tonight the real excitement shall unfold. It's going to be dynamite.

I'm a big Carroll fan, I'd definitely take him to the Euros. It's not going to happen with Kane, Vardy, Sturridge and Rooney being clearly ahead of him, but he would offer a completely different dimension. Plus whenever I've seen Carroll for England he's done really well. He wins something like...

You only know after the EL final have you qualified to CL through that, that's the last game of the season. So, it's all to play for in the league when it comes to Europe qualification.

How so? This result keeps us in the race for Europa League spots = there's still something to play for in the league. I'm thoroughly enjoying our EL campaign this season and would like to be there again next season.

IMO it should be a FIFA rule that national team managers must be citizens of that country.

Positive full league debuts for Ojo and Stewart and a big win, can't ask for more than that!

Just another reason to get Mourinho, he always has the bus parked in time.

None of the penalty shouts were penalties, imo. Handball penalty has to be deliberate or the arm in an unnatural position, none were either. Okazaki went down when his touch took the ball too far, not a penalty. But watching this game you can't help thinking "how on earth are Leicester top of...

Gotta win this to keep our remaining league games interesting. Otherwise that "nothing to play for" feeling is going to creep into our run-in. Should be curious to see how our midfield does without Henderson, Lucas and Can (suspended). Would also rest a few guys with the Dortmund game in mind...

Gonna be a Sunderland win 2 - 0

Sunderland have been playing quite OK recently, just one defeat in last seven games. But their problem is they've also got just one victory in that time. Should have won one or two of their recent draws where they were the better team. I'm backing them to beat Leicester tomorrow.

McCarthy is an underrated manager, people are going to laugh but I would have been happy if he succeeded Rodgers at Liverpool. McCarthy has performed slightly above expectations pretty much everywhere he's gone. That kind of consistency is the sign of a good manager.

You may rise, Sir Allen.

Based on what? I reeeeeeeeally doubt the translator has got the inside info when apparently the actors don't even know yet who was killed.

Klopp is treating Benteke harshly, imo. As are our fans for that matter. He's not this out-and-out target-man that a lot of people seem to think, he can play it on the ground as well and he has got decent movement to his game. Klopp has put Origi ahead of Benteke and while Origi will look better...

lol, I wonder who made the final decision on that cliffhanger ending and thought it was a good way to finish the season. "Viewers will find it totally thrilling and not at all annoying af, I'm sure". What rubbish. Carol is apparently carrying some transponder tracking device judging by how...
