Ah, fair enough. I had not taken that close a look. Shame as when he is on the pitch he is excellent. Scores, disrupts, creates, direct.

Press Association were reporting that it's pretty much a done deal, the complicating factor is the Play Off final as UEFA have said it's Wembley only for their final so a plan needs to be made for the other game.

There is too much nonsense by VAR. They could put an end to all the arguments by actually getting the decisions right; you know, the job they were bought in to do...
Never going to happen. Somebody's view of right is another's wrong. It's like asking all on the Golf Forum to agree to everyone else's opinion
I'll be honest, a season in the Championship without VAR was more refreshing. More decisions were wrong compared to a VAR world but game was more enjoyable. Once you had scored, you had "scored"!
Surely the answer is for the EFL game to be moved to one of the many London grounds of stature. Play it at West Ham, Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea for example. If that is an issue for police, shouldn't be as there will be barely by any, if any at all, fans present, then play it at Man City, Liverpool, Man Utd, Aston Villa etc. Plenty of grounds that are worthy of a final, particularly as you are not having to house 70-80k people this year.

Please be Wembley, if only to put UEFA officials in quarantine for two weeks in a 1* hotel in Brixton.

I used to work in Brixton & even the residents I dealt with don't deserve to have UEFA officials dumped on them.

Seems to be some work needed from the Government as well to allow all of the various interested parties that UEFA invite to attend. Guessing they are looking to have them exempted from quarantine etc.

Cavani has agreed to extend his contract by a season. A huge signing for United IMO, both on the pitch and for what he offers the younger players in training. His goals have been invaluable and would be brilliant to see him in front of a full Old Trafford.

If I was a fan of either of the two finalists I would be pleased about this. It’s the final of the Champions league, it should not be played at Wembley, it would just be like a repeat of the FA cup semi final.
Portugal is a “green country” so fans can go. Happy days.

As a fan of one of the finalists, play it at Wembley; given the travel restrictions/implications in the current situation, avoids fans being held to ransom by the airlines & there's a possibility of far more fans for each side being at Wembley than there will be in Portugal.

Hate to think how much it would cost to go to Portugal. As one of the only short haul holiday destinations allowed from next week people are going to be paying over the odds already for a holiday. Add the usual big sporting event price hike on top and it could be silly money.

Yes I understand your point but I just think it would have a bigger sense of occasion if I went abroad to watch it... “Blue in Wembley” doesn’t have the same ring to it!?

Seems some strange ones tonight
Surely a penalty against Burnley ?
and then a red for Fulham GK ?
Have they turned off VAR

If anyone can explain how the keeper handling it 40 yards from his goal is not a red card id be most grateful as i genuinely think theyre just getting late entrants into the worst VAR comp still

Nothing will ever have the same ring to it as that night did, and is the reason why if we are out of Europe I will pull for Bayern over any English team.
In normal circumstances I would agree with you, but we are not in normal circumstances; give the fans a break.

Hearing Man Utd fans are planning to protest again on Thursday. All for the right to protest but sadly it'll bring out the idiot fans and they'll be trouble.
