Yeah, Gareth Southgate said it was over too..
You wouldn't get this level of idiocy on BBC or sky.

God I hope ITV don't get any football when the rights are negotiated in a few months. It's awful at producing football.
I used to love the BBC on cup final day. They'd link it into match of the day and it was great build up.
What I wouldn't give to have the Champs league on bbc instead of ITV.

Me too, made the game seem so much bigger. It says a lot when at least 6 Premeir League games this weekend have more on them than a cup final.
The BBC are slowly dwindling on sports coverage sadly. They've lost the Grand National, F1. And they don't show any live football after this season. I wouldn't be surprised if they lost MOTD, I really wouldn't.

The Nou Camp pays a fitting farewell to Pep Guardiola with a 4-0 win over Espanyol. Messi got all 4 goals to take his tally up to 72 for the season, there was a nice moment after the fourth when he and Pep embraced, joined by the whole team. Phenomenal record for Messi, a 73% winning percentage for Pep. He'll take a year out or so, and he'll be back. Fortunately for football, Lionel Messi will keep going. He's only 24.
guardiola for united?
After his break...perhaps. Guardiola will have his pick of any job when he decides to come back, that's for sure.
West Ham see off Cardiff 3-0, and 5-0 on aggregate, to get to the play off final. They'll play either Blackpool or Birmingham who meet on Wednesday.Overall I want Blackpool to win, just to get Holloway back in the Premier League

parka will be blowing bubbles
I want to see Blackpool back in the Premier League, Sheveley to be loaned back to them for the season and allowed to play against Liverpool.
Arsenal have signed Podolski for next season, undisclosed of course, but somewhere between £10-13 million almost certainly.
That's a great signing, look forward to seeing him play in the premiership. He was one of many who tore England apart in 2010.
And looks like M'Vila is on his way too, if reports are to be believed.
If he comes, I'd be chuffed. He's a genuine talent.
Then it's a race for two North American's, Dempsey and Hoilett.

You might as well loan them Charlie Adam back for all the good he's done Liverpool.
I didn't think of that, but yeah! Bring back Aqualini and give him a proper chance.
Kenny sacked 
Over to RAWK lads, this is going to be good. Here's a taster.
Irony
It won't be as funny next year sadly.

Writing on the wall
Indeed, a very poor record he had. yes he won the Carling Cup, but with his terrible win rate it's not really seen as a success. His signings mostly failed, the whole Suarez thing was a PR disaster, he looked unprofessional during interviews, and he finished 8th this season just gone. Apart from that he did a great job.
Liverpool fans seem to be opposing Martinez getting the job, personally I think they'd do well to get him.

Liverpool fans will probably hound anyone who takes the job out of it again anyway.
True. They seem to want Rafa, which I don't see as a good move personally. Plus I think it would almost be worse for them because if he does bad they won't be able to accept it. And blame someone else. Like last season (refs, Man United, Evra, Wenger, the FA, Man United)
He didn't deliever in the league, though he did get us to two finals. Kinda iffy on his sacking but we can go for Pep Guard now. :3
Ancelotti
Watch this space
He did not win ligue 1 with PSG
And more importantly desperately wants to prove chelsea wrong
I personally think they should appoint Mcleish.
