Not sure Gerry.

We'll be in Cebu on our way to visit friends in Boracay.

It'll be 10pm here so not sure if there's a sports bar or if it's on TV in our hotel room or outside.

Will be checking to see for sure.

Thanks Gerry.

Meeting old friends we met 12 years ago when we first visited Boracay in our early dating days.

These friends worked in the resort we first stayed in and always went back to.

We got some great memories there including scenes from our engagement and post nuptial videos in 2017 and 2019.

The resort sadly closed since. Owner sold it off.

But we've remained friends with some of the staff and try and visit them each year.

Hats off to the Hatters 🎩🎩🎩

Luton completed their fairy-tale rise from non-league to Premier League with a dramatic, sudden-death shoot-out victory. Just nine years on from ending their five-season stretch in the Conference Premier, the Hatters are celebrating returning to the top-flight for the first time since 1992.

Amazing Sean.

And so we come to the final day of the season.

Another Premiership season over.

Some dreams realised and some shattered.

Relegation still to be decided.

We'll be welcoming Sheffield United, Burnley and Luton Town into the fold next season.

Wow Sean.

Send me 6 random numbers between 1 and 45 and I'll do the lotto here.

That was a very bold prediction. 

Nice payback though.🤑🤑🤑

Pat,Leicester sold a few players pre season,and didn't replace them,so I thought they might struggle this season,so it was worth a fiver bet...Gerry,yes,I had a free day out yesterday,and still 20 euro in my wallet

FA Cup Final tomorrow.

Manchester United vs Manchester City.

Historic final as both Manchester clubs have never met in an FA Cup Final before.

Going to a bar here to watch it. KO 10pm local time here.

Go on Man United. You can do it. 👏👏👏👏

Congratulations to Man City.

Absolute worthy winners today.

Played United off the park and proved why they're probably the best team in Europe at the moment.

We were chasing shadows all game and it showed the gulf in class between the two teams.

Work to be done on the United squad in the summer. 

But as disappointed as I am I still feel happy we had a decent season under EtH's first campaign as Manager.

For me am United through and through forever.

First post of the new season.

So far City four wins 100% record, 12 points. 

My team Manchester United two wins one defeat, 6 points.

We play away to Arsenal today. Not very confident after the way we played in our first three games but I live in hope.

We were robbed.

That Garnacho goal in the 89th minute was onside.

Probably would have won us the game.

So many debatable decisions in the Premiership so far this season. 
One wonders with VAR and linesman how referees still seem to get it wrong.

And I'm not saying this in favour of United. It's happening in so many games now.

VAR is flawed,am not a fan of it,there's no excuse for it not working at this stage.

Couldnt agree more lads. For something meant to bring certainty to uncertain situations - its doing that for sure in some situations, but the other side of the coin is, its taking any level of discretion away from one person - the ref -.and giving it to another person - the VAR judge or whatever he/she is called.  Doesnt really make sense...

So two defeats for Ireland in the Euro qualifiers.

Beaten by France and Holland, two decent sides.

I read a lot of calls for Kenny's resignation.

Justified or not? Or do we not have a good enough squad of players.

I don't see the games here so can't fully judge.

I didnt get to see either game Pat, so dont have an "educated" view. But certainly its hard to see Stephen Kenny being allowed continue on after this campaign, not from what I read anyway...

We shall see...

Ireland don't have enough quality players to compete with teams who have players that play top flight football,so we will lose these games...that said,we didn't suffer any massive defeats,so that is a positive,and we were missing Evan Ferguson...does Kenny stay,or go ? we played some good football last night,and maybe deserved a draw.If Kenny goes,who do we get ? I don't think there is any manager who could do much better,with what we've got in the team,but we'll see.
