Bit of violence at the end of the game of Old Trafford tonight.. seats seen being thrown from the Liverpool end.

Thought that in 2016 we didn't have this sort of stuff anymore...

Offensive Hillsborough banner removed by police in Salford

Police have removed a banner over the M602 motorway in Salford designed to taunt Liverpool fans heading to Old Trafford ahead of the Europa League game against Manchester United.

It bore the date of the Hillsborough disaster when 96 Liverpool fans died.

Police said they were alerted to the sign and removed it immediately.

Manchester United criticised fans who sang chants about the tragedy during the Europa League defeat at Liverpool on 11 March.

Liverpool v Man Utd: Hillsborough chants condemned by Red Devils

Manchester United have criticised the fans who sang chants about the Hillsborough disaster during Thursday's Europa League defeat at Liverpool.

Offensive songs were heard during Liverpool's 2-0 win at Anfield in the first leg of their last-16 tie.

Ninety-six Liverpool fans died as a result of a crush at Hillsborough in an FA Cup semi-final between the Reds and Nottingham Forest in 1989.

United said the chants "have no place in the game".

The perpetrators of the above should be named, shamed, and given 10 lashes each, in public. Disgraceful behaviour.

I bet Man City are happy with drawing PSG rather than Barcelona or Munich, although 2nd leg at home means they are at a disadvantage

I can't see City getting past PSG. Looks like Bayern, Barca and Real will be the other three semi finalists

Some of the fans on both sides should be ashamed. It does seem to have been kicked off by a "Murderers" banner hung over the motorway by Man U fans. More Hillsborough chants in the ground. After this there was a banner unfurled apparently by Liverpool fans in the home end. This started a fight which resulted in seats being thrown and our lot singing Munich songs.

It looks like on the night the Man U fans kicked it off but I have seen d*ck heads at Anfield making airplane signs with their arms out.

Neither side comes out squeaky clean and some people need to grow up.

Absolutely. I think your last sentence is the one to take away from it all.

I would say that such scum shall not be given the honourable title of "fans", rather "prats" or "idiots". Those who started it all off should also shoulder a much greater share of the blame.

This is indeed a sad reflection on how extreme support of a club can end up being the be all and end all in the minds of certain supporters to an extent where normal behaviour is totally disregarded. Perhaps the psychiatrist profession will have a name for such abnormal behaviour.

That being said, I wonder what action UEFA have in mind to impose upon both football clubs.

The home of the concrete cow
How can Roy Hodgson argue that he selects players that are in form, when there is a midfielder who so far this year has made more tackles, made more successful passes, has a higher pass completion percentage and created more chances than each of Milner, Henderson, Delph, Carrick and Dier, playing for the team currently fifth in the League, that has beaten Liverpool (three times), Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester City?
How can Mark Noble not even get into a squad for friendlies? What will Hodgson learn about Henderson or Milner that he doesn't already know?
And now I read that he's considering playing John Stones in midfield! A young defender with less than 100 games under his belt, ahead of a mature midfielder with over 300 games to his credit!
Oh, and he will pick Jack Wilshere 'if he's fit' for the Euro squad, even though he hasn't kicked a ball in competitive football this season.
Utter madness.

Excellent news.

It really is. Fantastic news. Lots of work to do and funds to raise but we are on the way home. The days of exile are almost over!

We dug out a 1-0 win today v Rushall which keeps us 4 points behind Blyth who are top. We have 3 games in hand. It wasnt a classic by all accounts but at this stage of the season etc etc etc

Hyde United 1...Skelmersdale United 1

An attendance of only 273 saw both clubs settling for a point each to help them move away from the dreaded bottom four relegation places. Skelmersdale now 17th, Hyde now 18th.

I am surprised both teams are so low in the table - they have both looked very good when playing us.

In big Greater Manchester derby match taking place this weekend match finish.

Oldham 2-3 Rochdale

First half we were playing well and score first thanks to Holloway but Rochdale won penalty which I have to say was soft and they score it, Dale had player sent off just before half time but that doesn't help us in second half as Dale score two goals in space of six mins to pretty much won game (Dale third goal was very good goal knowing it was poor defending from us) Oldham did score second goal 20 mins from time which Holloway hit volley and went in but we never creating no-more chances after that. :(

My six visit to watch Oldham (at home) this season and five out of them have ended defeat for us maybe I should stop going this season to boost Oldham chance of staying in this division.

We now slip down to 22nd after Blackpool beat Crewe 2-1, only good news is that Doncaster lost 2-1 to Peterborough and Fleetwood lost 2-0 to Barnsley to stay within us.

17: Shrewsbury Played 37 - 45 points
18: Chesterfield Played 37 - 42 points
19: Fleetwood Played 37 - 40 points
20: Blackpool Played 38 - 38 points
----------------------------------------------------------
21: Doncaster Played 37 - 37 points
22: Oldham Played 36 - 37 points
23: Crewe Played 37 - 30 points
24: Colchester Played 37 - 28 points

Whatever happened to your crystal ball..:roll:

Manchester City are still in 4th place, one point clear of West Ham United....with a game in hand.

His crystal ball should have been right, the Chelsea 89th minute penalty was never a foul in a million years.

Well, we won our first "cup final" since promotion this afternoon, despite missing a penalty early in the first half. Also the first win from a losing position since David Wagner took over.

He's better than Klopp, he's better than Klopp, David Wagner, he's better than Klopp!

In news that will surprise no one Villa scored 0

Well Leicester were bottom of the table this time last year and went on to avoid relegation. We have all seen what they have achieved so far this season.

Bearing in mind you have a much bigger wage budget what is to stop Villa replicating this course of events ?
