Hopefully a big yellow ticker on SSN tonight saying 'Martinez Quits/Sacked'

If only my boys had shown that 2nd half passion all season...

Seriously though, time to cut losses and let Martinez go and give Big Dunc the reigns to see out what's left of this season

Nothing to play for now except for pride and probably Everton swansongs for Lukaku, Stones and Barkley

Although it does look like Lukaku has already got one foot out of the club as his head was not screwed on at all today

That was a really good semi.

We have to win tomorrow, I want a repeat of 1990.
So do I, it would be nice if our left back were to score the winner as well, just to you know make things just like they were in 1990!

He looked really slow to me.

Even game taken by halves. United looked very good at times in the first half and Everton played with great spirit in the second and I reckon deserved Extra Time.

I don't know about anyone else but I still cant get used to this strange post Sir Fergie universe we live in.

You would hope so, also hope the board are now on the phone trying to get Pellegrinni tied up for next season if he wants the job...though at a guess and would not be surprised if Moyes is already a done deal.

Hazard said on MOTD Chelsea hate Spurs and want Leicester to win the league..

Be interesting to compare the 2 performances of Chelsea when they face either side!

Sunderland should've just had a penalty, Mertesacker intentionally blocked the shot with his arm and "made himself bigger".

And Yedlin has just done the same thing at the other end!

As expected, Ulloa comes in to replace Vardy for Leicester. Ranieri also going for Schlupp ahead of Albrighton.

Good game at Sunderland so far. Could go either way.

Mannone made a brave effort there to hand a goal to Arsenal, proof Mignolet is not the only goalie in the premier league who has awful judgement.

Handball, free kick to Arsenal. Ah, so it is only in the penalty areas this weekend (Jagielka yesterday, several today), that handling the ball is permissible.

Why is the Sky linkman talking about Arsenal not able with a draw to move into 3rd place- what on earth makes him think Arsenal want to be anywhere but fourth?

Even though Newcastle have done well of late, Sunderland still look to me the strongest out of the three relegation candidates currently.

It's a shame they and Norwich don't play their games in hand sooner than the last midweek of the season.

I like Schlupp; was he not first choice until he got a bad injury? Ulloa is a serious downgrade from Vardy.

Yeah, think he played a lot more last season. Probably a bit more of a goal threat than Albrighton too, which is possibly why he got the nod.

Very interested to see how they do without Vardy.

Unfortunately, Newcastle's race is likely over now, as they only have 3 matches left, while both Sunderland and Norwich have 4 matches. This and Newcastle being 1 point behind both teams too. Plus Newcastle is likely only able to get 6 points from the next 3 matches, as I feel they can't beat Tottenham on their last match. With only 6 points, they can't have either team score 5 points or more, cause even with level points, Newcastle's GD would likely mean relegation.

So it's likely between Norwich and Sunderland now.

If somebody told you at the start of the season that Leicester v Swansea would turn out to be one of its most crucial matches, you'd have never spoken to them again.

Must admit I want a Leicester win more than I did this time last week to put a halt to all of the "we're coming after you" crap that emanated from the Spurs camp after the win at Stoke last Monday.

Ohhh I see Whilshire has appeared today, so that definitely means that after only a few mins all season, and nothing anything noteworthy at all, he should be in the England squad for the European Championships!

Makes perfect sense to me, and I suppose Roy!

Don't see Ashley Williams doing that kind of thing often.

Great point for Sunderland that, unlucky not to win it, they were the better team by far.

Who needs Jamie Vardy?

Looks like the gap is going to open up to 8 points again at six o'clock.
