Sevilla beat Fiorentina 2-0 on the night (5-0 on aggregate) to reach the Europa League final yet again. Dnipro beat Napoli 1-0 in the other semi (2-1 on aggregate) to reach the final for the first time in their history.

 

Dnipro were sitting deep and playing on the counter for most of the match which was played in torrential rain. They had a few half-chances but didn't work the goalkeeper nearly enough. Callejon and Maggio on the right both had stinkers so Napoli could barely function down the right, and it didn't help that Insigne was his usual inconsistent self. Higuain had a great chance to score early on but fired it straight at the keeper instead of picking his spot. As good a finisher as he generally is, he does also have a tendency to 'Djibril Cisse' presentable chances on a regular basis. He did similar in the World Cup final for example.

 

Dnipro will play Sevilla in the final then, and if Sevilla win it again, they'll have won this trophy more times than any other club. Right now they are level with us.

Jake Livermore failed a drug test for cocaine after Hull's game at Palace a few weeks ago.

Hull midfielder Jake Livermore tests positive for cocaine

 

Hull City midfielder Jake Livermore has tested positive for cocaine and will not play again for Hull City this season.

 

Livermore, who has made one appearance for England, failed a random drug test after Hull’s 2-0 win over Crystal Palace last month.

 

The club are expected to release a statement this afternoon, but it is a massive blow to manager Steve Bruce, whose side are desperately trying to avoid relegation.

 

Livermore, who came through Tottenham Hotspur’s Academy, was superb for Hull last season as they managed to stay in the top flight and also reach the FA Cup final.

 

But his form has dipped this term along with the rest of the Hull side, although he has still made 35 appearances for the club.

 

His one international appearance came in 2012, when he came on as a second-half substitute in a friendly victory over Italy.

 

More to follow...

 

 

 

He played against us a few days later.

Completely forgot to check the Madrid vs Juve match, Morata you fucking legend, especially if Juve win it. To score in the 1st leg is amazing, to score in both though and send them out is just brilliant. They should never have sold him in the first place if they're that bothered, the stupid twats. He could've been a legend at Madrid, but they didn't have the patience for him. Glad he went personally, but am sure that as a player he'd have liked to have stayed with them, and he genuinely looked sad to have done that.

I remember when they loaned Morientes to Monaco but still allowed him to play against them. He scored in both legs too to help knock Madrid out.

Wow, didn't know they had history with the same type of thing. I think they should've kept Morata too, he'd have probably been fine if they'd played him enough. Maybe not just yet, but in a few years he could've been a great striker for them.

They also have a certain Valdes in their squad. Fuck them. Let's make sure we have a striker who can score lots of goals and stay fit next time we play them.

I don't think anyone knows what Valdes is still like after his ACL

 

The saying is that a good keeper saves you 12 points a season. Well you could suggest De Gea has saved them cunts double that this season, he's been incredible. They lose him, they'll have to replace their whole shitty defence as well
