    Except for the Bundesliga, the title race in all the major leagues seem wrapped up. Liverpool seem to have hit the annual form dip all Klopp's sides experience eventually. They have played badly for quite some time, and I don't see their form changing before it's too late.

    After winning a second Clasico in three days at the Bernabeu, Barcelona have extended their lead down to Real Madrid to 12 points. Atlético are the only remaining challenger sitting seven points back, but that should also be too much of a gap.

    The Italian and French leagues have become parodies. They were done and settled months ago.

    Borussia vs Bayern could be a thrilling race to the line though.

    I expect Bayern to win this - again. Would be fun if BVB somehow managed to win the title though.

    Tottenham did their job tonight in the Champions league.

    Ajax Amsterdam did destroy Real Madrid in the Bernabeu stadium in Madrid, 1-4 winning. A bloody nice match to watch.

    That is debatable depends if you prefer the sneakiness in football before, another Maradona handgoal will no longer happen. A lot of mischief on the field will no be punished. The likes of Ramos will no longer be allowed a free reign which means football wins and greater player are a lot saver from attacks.

    Incredible result by the United Kids so proud of them, Ole is building something here.

    United the first team in Champions League history to progress in a knockout tie having lost at home by two or more goals.

    Personally I think the little Wood Elf's luck will run out eventually..they have played well but have had massive chunks of luck as well,it cant last.

    What a great photo, Great to see Fergie looking so well. Retirement certainly suits him, but he has certainly earned it.

    On a separate note, I am away after work tomorrow so will be rooting for the Norwich boys tomorrow night when we entertain Swansea City. OTBC!!!!

    The 44-year-old was travelling back to the city centre after the game with three other supporters when the driver took offence to them singing in celebration of United's dramatic late winner.

    Sky Sports News has been told the driver pulled over to get them out of his taxi, before pulling out a knife and threatening the female passenger in the group.

    The victim tried to intervene to protect her, but the driver then turned the knife on him, stabbing him in the chest with what's been described as 'a large blade'.

    He was left lying on the pavement fighting for his life, when one of the group was able to flag down a passing car and rush him to hospital.

    The United fan was taken straight to the High Dependency Unit at the Hopital Europeen Georges-Pompidou - and underwent on Thursday afternoon to remove blood on his lung.

    Sky Sports News has also been told that French Police arrested a suspect at lunchtime today in connection with the attack, but that the weapon itself is yet to be found


    Crazy

    He's done a great job all things considered. Not every relegated team will fight for promotion the follow season. Just look at Stoke!

    Also; what effect will replacing him do at this point in the season? It's a massive gamble for sure.

    It’s a stupid decision Torg,with the playoffs around the corner.

    I think they have a big name lined up or this is sheer madness,the fans and players love Darren.

    They most likely have to have a big name lined up if they want the fans on their side. But who want to take charge at West Brom at this point?
