    Arsenal have been in the last 17 Champions Leagues in a row and a point this afternoon secures a place in the group stage for next year too. Even if they lose, Manchester United would have to beat Hull and enjoy a seven-goal swing over the Gunners to take their spot. Surely that isn't going to happen, is it?

    A brilliant achievement - as good as winning a trophy?

    Where will this man be playing his football next season?

    Liverpool cancelled a meeting with Sterling on Friday because of comments attributed to the player's agent.

    Aidy Ward reportedly said the England forward, 20, will not sign a new deal even if offered "£900,000 a week".

    Rodgers said: "Raheem has two years left on his deal and I expect him to see that two years through."

    Hull City fan and blogger Rick Skelton, 35: "Trusty scarf at the ready - no half and half nonsense for me. Season pass for the club with no name ready too! I've already renewed for next season but I know plenty who haven't. Which division Hull City are in has no bearing on the decision. What our name is does.

    "I'm not particularly hopeful - I was resigned to relegation after the catastrophic home defeat at the hands of Burnley. I'm sure a beer and a burger will help though. I might even start to fancy we'll get a draw!"

    "But I do think there a certain amount of players who don't want to be at the club next season, players who have had their fill. The ones who have shown the most bottle have been the young lads - there's been no leadership on the pitch from the senior players. It's been really sad."

The worst thing that Ashley has done for me is remove our hope and potentially extinguished the interests of future generations.
