I mentioned to Glasner that this was the first league double for

over Man Utd. He replied well all credit to Roy Hodgson. He did 50% of the job and he did it at Old Trafford.
Classy response at the end of a very, very impressive night for Palace.

Scrap FA Cup replays if you must.
But all PL have to play away in rounds 3 and 4 and can’t draw each other.

If Mark Warburton was available this summer, QPR would be looking at him closely given the excellent job he’s done recently……at QPR
Already seeing fans of other Champ clubs on here giving a thumbs up to possibly appointing Warburton themselves this summer, which is exactly what we'd be doing if he'd just finished three years like this anywhere else.

So good to see some of their solid, dependable players do well. Joel Ward was absolutely outstanding. Countless important blocks, challenges, interceptions.
Probably the most understated player in this most understated of teams.

The main arguments for VAR were as follows:
1. It would get everything right
2. It would remove the toxicity around big decisions.
3. It would elevate the game to a heightened level of truth & honesty.
Isn’t it time for a proper admission that none of those things have happened.

Surely a major broadcaster is going to release a social media clip of that 3 minute spell when England just kept the ball in extra time ? Forget your Kane goal or full time, that is the moment it actually dawned on us all that this bunch actually knew what they were doing.

That hat trick is one of the most astonishing things I’ve seen on a football pitch. They were 4-0 down at half time! Down to 10! They almost equalised! Inter found it all so traumatic, a few weeks later they got pummelled at the Lane. Those were jaw-dropping days.
What a night this was about 25/30 thousand Spurs in the San Siro

It is not said enough, so I shall say it here. The fact that Millwall are within striking distance of the play-off spots at this stage of a punishing Championship season is astonishing.
The total cost of all the squads in the Championship per their most recent accounts come to £1,193 million. Over a third of the total relates to two clubs.

When Matt got the job, he was specifically told to keep Sutton in the National League. Clearly ignoring that, he took the club on the ride of their lives. Promotion, Wembley, transformation. Very sad indeed to see him go.

The Board of Directors at Sutton United has made the extremely difficult decision to part company with manager Matt Gray.

I cannot really believe that Gareth Southgate isn't picking Wan Bissaka because he plays for an "unfashionable" team.

V interesting discussion. For me, having covered the club from Hoddle onwards, Jol is the pivotal figure (apart from Poch). In my mind there is pre Jol & post Jol - with some exceptions. Jol showed what is possible and Spurs have been chasing that ever since. And he was SUCH fun.
My Redknapp/Jol decision appears to be causing most discussion. As I've put in here, for me it's about the impact on the club. Redknapp certainly hauled Tottenham up from a brief fall and then improved them, Jol dragged them up from 15 years of mediocrity.
