@terryflewers The Man U legends are the most annoying bunch: M. Schmeichel, G. Neville, P. Scholes, N. Butt, R.keane, P. Eva. It just Owen H that one can only listen to.
So Bruno Fernandes respectfully response to Roy Keane and the fact Keane misquoted him and instead of being man, holding his hand up and admitting he was wrong, Keane resorts to this nonsense. Disappointing
@JacobsBen You can as well announce the full squad. The English press sometimes is annoying. Look at how the Brazilian squad was announced, there were no leaks. I think it is unfair for the media to take away this privilege from Tuchel.
Some big calls by Thomas Tuchel ahead of tomorrow's England squad announcement.
Ivan Toney is the notable inclusion, while Noni Madueke and Tino Livramento both get the nod.
Kobbie Mainoo also picked, as revealed earlier. A richly-deserved selection for the Manchester United midfielder after becoming a starter post Ruben Amorim.
No Harry Maguire, as we broke on talkSPORT, or Adam Wharton. Both will prompt debate. Luke Shaw also missing.
And Cole Palmer, Phil Foden, Lewis Hall and Levi Colwill among those who miss out.🏴
🚨 Exclusive: Hull City are consulting lawyers to see if they have a case to be promoted straight to the Premier League after Southampton (subject to an appeal) were expelled from the Championship playoffs.
Hull are unhappy at the prospect of facing Middlesbrough at Wembley having spent over a week preparing to play Southampton.
Saints appeal is this evening and they will argue the punishment is too harsh.
Hull's players had a pre-planned day off today and will return tomorrow with either two days to prepare for Boro, or potentially learn the final is against Southampton again.
Hull are leaving legal avenues open, including the prospect of a challenge after the final.🐯

@henrywinter If you disqualify Southampton then bring up the next qualifier Wrexham to play Middlesbrough. It is unfair to give Middlesbrough the ticket to the play off finals. They need to earn it on the field.
Anyone with any knowledge of English football history will know that it is ridiculous for Southampton’s chief executive, Phil Parsons, to claim that their expulsion from the Championship play-offs is a bigger punishment than the 30-point deduction imposed on Luton Town in 2008 which led to relegation and almost throttled the life out of the club. Absolutely no comparison and completely weakens Southampton’s attempted argument that being thrown out of the play-offs is “manifestly disproportionate to every previous sanction in the history of the English game”.
There is some good stuff in Parsons’ statement: accepting culpability for Spygate, apologising to those clubs they spied on and apologising to their fans “whose extraordinary loyalty and support this season deserved better from the club”. Well said. But… the rules changed since Leeds United’s “similar offence” in 2019, there is no right to the £200m (it’s not a fine), and to play the whataboutery game and make the comparison with the Hatters is, fittingly, mad. Southampton’s reputation is certainly damaged but at least their very existence is not at risk. #SaintsFC#LTFC
@Wrexham_AFC I believe you should be requesting to be admitted into the play offs if Southampton is disqualified. You should play Middlesbrough for the right to play Hull City.
@UOrdained@Tripple____M He won 2 trophies and put up 28 G/A in all comps in his first season while coming off the bench for half of it 😊😊😊 we ain’t learn shit this loss doesn’t hurt us . Hope Cherki continues taking the piss
Erling Haaland: "The whole club should use this as motivation now, we should be angry, we should feel the fire inside our belly because it's not good enough.
"It's gone two years now [without winning the Premier League], it feels like forever, and we're going to do everything we can, everyone that will be here next season, to win the league..." [via @ManCity]
@UberWestHam I hope it is the same frustration for you on the Fernandes handball against Everton that was supposed to be a penalty or when VAR cancelled the legitimate goal scored by Romero. You have been an immense beneficiary of VAR decisions.
I hate being one of those people blaming VAR and referees, but the frustration of every single referee and pundit ignoring Trossard pushing Pablo into Raya is insane.
Would love to see Howard Webb or an ex-referees response to that, as they all seem to be ignoring it.
@WestHam_Central You didn't have the same energy when Fernandes committed a handball which is supposed to be a penalty in the Everton game. Romero's legitimate goal was cancelled by VAR and you were a beneficiary. So can you lot just focus on remaining in the division.
