Rangers vs Frankfurt Europa League final is going to be mega, Roma and Feyenoord on the brink of history - The Warm-Up

FRIDAY'S BIG STORIES Oh, David Ad/> We can safely assume that this is not how David Moyes imagined his part in West Ham's great European adventure would end. Perhaps he dreamed of lifting the trophy.

A handshake, respectful. A thank you to the fans, grateful. An embrace with one or two players, emotional.

Still, he has apologised, and at least one West Ham player will be feeling better about himself. Somehow, Aaron Cresswell's dismissal ended up being the second-daftest red card of the evening.

That's management. It will be a little unfair if these two dismissals — one hopelessly naive, the other impulsively silly — end up as the defining images of West Ham's run through the Europa League. When the sting of this exit fades, and the time comes to watch the season DVD, all the other stuff will come flooding back.

First panic, then frustration.
