    40,000 tickets sold for the cup final here tomorrow. The two perfect teams playing and lots of post lockdown action but still it’s great to see. I hope it’s not a shitfest with so many eyes on it.

    First half overs is always the one in these situations. Quite often players will go down injured until they only have 8 so it gets ended early. Overs that have won get paid in those cases whereas handicaps are void.

    I remember finding this out when being on a -3 handicap in a game that got called off at 17-0 in around the 86th minute. Denise voided me as the result of my bet was "undetermined".

    Belenenses player has taken a seat in the centre circle about five seconds into the second half.

    Saka and Smith-Rowe are genuinely excellent but will be lolled at as Mantralux wet dreams until they sign for City in record deals and do the business. Martinelli looks decent but needs minutes.

    Watching Livingston v Rangers and a home goal was met with silence/groans, and looking around the entire ground appears to be filled with Rangers fans. Is this normal for Old Firm away games? I can't say I've noticed it before.

    It's not just the old firm, I went to Partick Thistle - Kilmarnock a while back and it was probably 50/50 at best.

    I thought they all had heated pitches these days?

    Either way, a bit pathetic. It's not exactly the Arctic Tundra.

    It'll likely be for conditions outside the ground and not in.

    Livingston, yes. They’ll happily give up most of their ground to any team and just take the one stand. Livingston is full of people originally from Glasgow. It’s probably the least supported team in the top two leagues.

    Probably a better trip/story than watching them draw 1-1 at Turf Moor.

    I don't understand how Andros Townsend can kick a man flush in the face and not even get booked. 'He was trying to clear it' - so what?

    Everton under Benitez going absolutely nowhere. If ever there were a case for a quickfire sacking, this is it.

    No idea what the Utd formation is. Maybe a diamond with Sancho and Rashford up front? Or 4-3-3 with Fernandes left wing? Who knows.

    Ronaldo dropped anyway

    In this game they've looked like every Benitez side ever playing slow, ponderous, painting-by-numbers football. Allan and Doucouré the only bright spots.

    BBC has it listed as a 4312 with McTominay behind Rashford and Sancho.

    They're clearly wrong but imagine if McSauce is playing IN THE HOLE with Bruno further back.

    That Man Utd team isn’t bad if they’re going back to their sitting deep and hitting on the break style. Rashford always scores against Chelsea. 0-2 all over this.

    £5 on that at 70/1 is very decent

    The Guardian have it as 3-4-1-2, but no idea. Guess it's just to match up against Chelsea. Phil Jones on the bench

    I don't care if we draw or even lose this, being in a position where The Famous Man United come to Stamford Bridge and play like this is the long term win in itself.

    However many hundreds of millions of quid spent just to field three defensive mids and no strikers. Glorious stuff.

    That was always happening on the break. No idea why Man Utd stopped playing like this, that’s how they got half their wins on Ole’s golden spell

    The oddest part of a very odd goal was Rashford (was it?) remaining completely offside the entire way, forcing Sancho to shoot. Quite lucky he was able to score.

    I'm convinced that he doesn't know what the offside rule is, he's always fucking offside.

    Footballers operate on autopilot when it comes to things like first touch, he won't even have considered the possibility of miscontrolling it.

    That 'Rashford Shot Clock' idea could be a genuine world-beater. He should count to three, and if he still has it, stop running and pass it to the nearest red shirt.

    The fact that so many consecutive Chelsea managers have believed Ruben Loftus-Cheek to be worth persisting with is a real indictment of modern football methods.
