Liverpool fans are saying he betrayed them by running his contract down. So why didn't they sell him at the start of the season? I've even seen some say that he should have signed a new deal and then Liverpool could get maximum value out of him, which is just bullsh*t and they know it. If he had signed a new deal, he would have been trapped and they would never have sold him.

Rivalry aside, Ange Postecoglu has to be one of the most unlikable mangers I've ever seen in the premier league. He comes across as such an arrogant prick, he's taken Spurs to 17th place in the league with 20 losses along the way and in his interviews he acts incredulous that any reporter would dare question him about why they're so sh*t. Utter twat.

Liverpool fans can rarely construct a paragraph without using words and phrases which dont point to disappointment, incredulity, blame, unfair treatment, devastation to name but a few, apparently. hey ho at least they are not enjoying their fortunate title win.

Yeah but on the other hand he's the Tottenham manager so it's hilarious. If he would be permitted to stay on if Tottenham qualify for the Champions' League it might almost be worth them winning the Europa. (Don't worry, momentary folly, I will of course be rooting for Man Utd).

I expect Villa to beat Spurs Friday, comfortably as Spurs will rest virtually, their whole team. Forest, I reckon may drop points at West Ham and if they don't win and we win, then that his them out the top 5 race. Villa then go to United last day of the season. Villa should win, but the scheduling of the final being before the end of the season helps us in that aspect. Once the Europa League final is done, United will have one more game of the season at home and I would imagine would put in a strong team and try put some light on embarrassing season in the league. I think United will win the final, but it probably helps if they lose the final as if they win, they will be hungover. Us playing United before the final helps us as you imagine they rest players. We can go above City with a win on Friday also and City don't have the easiest run in too after drawing at Southampton, even though I still expect them to make top 5.

Carragher has spent the best part of a week criticising TAA for his decision to move then is aghast that he has been booed and how wrong it is, lol 😂

If Carragher had done some research. He would have found out Kevin Keegan announced his decision in the summer to move iat the end of the 1976-77.

Keegan wasn’t too popular with some Liverpool supporters. They couldn’t believe Keegan wanted to play for another team.

‘A shock was around the corner, however. Keen to experience continental football, that summer he informed Liverpool of his intention to leave the club and join Hamburg following the conclusion of the 1976-77 campaign.’

‘The Kop felt betrayed and the announcement heralded a difficult season for Keegan, although he nevertheless registered 20 goals and claimed a hat-trick of league winner's medals.’

Keegan was proved right with his move to SV Hamburg,by winning European Player of the Year in 1978 and 1979 and also winning the Bundesliga Title in 1978-79.

Fark Carragher, that c*t still had grudges against Torres for leaving Liverpool on a record deal. Whether Torres was a success or NOT with us is another story, but he wanted to move up for a better team and got them a great fee. Yet C*ts like Carragher still sees him leaving as 'betrayal'. The thing never got into their thick mind is there are better clubs and choices out there, players will move on when they see one, whether leaving for free or otherwise.

Carlo Ancelotti to leave Real Madrid to become Brazil coach

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti will leave the Spanish club at the end of the season to become the new national team coach of Brazil.

Ancelotti is already one of the best managers ever, so if he wins the World Cup with Brazil, I think in the eyes of many, he will go down as the best ever.

Interesting. It's about forty years since I last went to Goodison. It's changed a bit in the inside since then but I think it still looks the same from outside. Will be interesting to see what crowds the women's team will get and also if the club keeps Goodison in the long term. I suspect that some fans will go to Goodison to feel nostalgic.

Goodison Park: Everton's women's team to use stadium as n...

Goodison Park is to become the home of Everton's women after the club scrapped plans to demolish the 132-year-old stadium.

The Blues will move to their new 53,000-seater arena at Bramley-Moore Dock this summer.

During construction of the new facility on the Liverpool waterfront, Everton's previous ownership group announced plans for an £82m post-demolition renovation project at the Goodison site, which was set to include housing, a care home, retail units and a park.

But after being taken over by private equity firm The Friedkin Group in December, the club conducted a feasibility study about maintaining the stadium as a home for the women's team, and have now opted to continue operating the site.

With a capacity of 39,572, Goodison Park will now be the largest dedicated women's football stadium in the country.

"This long-term vision reflects the club's commitment to investing in the women's game and ensuring that Goodison Park continues to play a vital role in both football and the community," Everton said.

"The club's regeneration plans will retain Goodison Park's proud identity while giving Everton Women a world-class platform in the heart of Liverpool 4. For supporters, it offers the chance to be part of a new era in one of football's most iconic venues."

"The ambition is to create a team capable of challenging for honours - backed by high-quality facilities and a world-renowned home."

The club's CEO Angus Kinnear added: "We know how treasured Goodison is, not only to every Evertonian, but to the game itself, and being able to keep such an iconic stadium at the heart of the legacy project is something that has been incredibly important to us."

Everton's women's team have played at Walton Hall Park, one mile away from Goodison, since 2020. The stadium has a capacity of 2,200, but only 500 of those places are seated, and its pitch is a hybrid of real and artificial grass.

Previously one of the strongest women's teams in the country - including winning a league title in 1998, two domestic cups in the late 2010s, and reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League in 2011 - Everton underwent a gradual decline in performance under previous owner Farhad Moshiri.

The Blues finished no higher than fifth in the Women's Super League (WSL) during the Iranian's time in charge, and ended this season's campaign in eighth. Their average home attendance was 2,062.

BBC Sport understands Everton plan to improve Goodison Park's changing room facilities, and rebrand the exterior of the stadium to reflect the women's team's history and current squad, while Walton Hall Park will continue to be used to offer a space for grassroots football in Liverpool, predominantly in the girls' game.

Everton will play their final men's first-team match at Goodison Park on Sunday (12:00 BST) against already-relegated Southampton.

Everton also announced that Goodison Park will host selected academy matches from next season.

The club's under-21s side currently plays its home fixtures 16 miles away at the 6,000-capacity Haig Avenue stadium in Southport, but last week Everton opted not to renew that agreement.

The only player in the current Everton first-team squad who graduated from the club's youth academy is backup goalkeeper Joao Virginia, who signed from Arsenal at the age of 19 before spending a single season in the Blues' youth set-up.

'New owners have strong track record in women's game' - analysis

Emma Sanders - BBC Sport senior women's football reporter

Everton's women's team's future under the club's new owners - who have ambitions to return them to former glories - is an exciting one.

One of the eight founding clubs of the WSL - the first professional league in England - Everton's history runs deep.

Goodison Park is a stadium rich with memories and the club hopes familiar surroundings can help grow the fanbase of the women's team and enable them to embark on a new journey under The Friedkin Group.

The signs have already been positive with investment provided in the January transfer window to improve Brian Sorensen's squad, and the Blues are looking to add more quality this summer.

The Friedkin Group has a strong track record of investment in women's football. Following their acquisition of a majority stake in AS Roma in 2020, they have won the women's Supercoppa Italiana twice in the past three years, and compete in Serie A - the top tier in Italy.

Coventry in extra time against Sunderland after winning 1 - 0 at stadium of light, come on Coventry you can do this!!!

Last minute goal sends Sunderland through...

Battle of the red and white stripes in the final.

Bummed for Frank, but Coventry staying in the Championship at least opens up an interesting loan opportunity for our youngsters such as Walsh, Mheuka, even George if we end up signing 10 more wingers this window.

What a game! Feel for Frank!

Hope they don't try and fine him for lashing out at the end there, it was the fan that approached him!

I have no idea why a lot of people want Sunderland to go up, it’s a right sh*thole up there.

So tinpot coming onto the field when it’s not a final, Bristol did it, and got whopped 6-0, it’s just not the move; even more so when trying to get a selfie with a Chelsea legend.

Suppose if Sunderland do get to the PL, it will give Newcastle two tough fixtures at least. We’ve seen with Leicester/Forest how valuable these derbies can be for us.

No, Newcastle + Sunderland are pretty much like Liverpool Everton. Guaranteed 6 points.

Drew the last time they faced each other in the prem, but yea, aside from that, doesn’t look good. Never mind then.

Feel bad for Frank, but he did a great job getting Coventry from 17th (when he first arrived) to nearly into the play-off final.

Hopefully he kicks on and tries again next season.
