Players coming or going for this fee or that is fairly irrelevant at this point, it's just shuffling the cards around. When the season starts again the bloke playing the hand he's been dealt is a fucking idiot. We'll never make progress with him in the dugout. Quite happy to keep the squad exactly as it is and replace the gormless fuckwit and I'd be fairly confident of cracking the top half.

Encourages the away team to come out a bit and usually leads to a better spectacle as a neutral. Scrapping them means cagey as fuck games with the bus parked virtually every game. There needs to be a balance in the fixtures, away goals in the event of a tie was pretty much perfect. Why scrap it?

"No disrespect to Steve Bruce, why the hell would you want to play for Steve Bruce?" If a pundit uttered those words he'd be fucking livid, the gormless cunt. Absolutely fine to slag other teams off himself though obviously. He's such a slimey, obnoxious ignorant fuckwit, he can't help himself.

Constantly falling behind and miraculously coming back to win it is absolutely not sustainable either. They've winged it this year but they need a better manager to actually set the team up to go ahead and control the game rather than fall behind and frantically scramble it back in the second half. It can't continue to happen indefinitely.

Nothing wrong with the current one but it does look a bit dated I suppose. It's about 30 years old and probably a bit old fashioned. I'd rather keep it but if it needs to be changed then I hope they change it to that one, just as smart and looks a bit sharper imo.

He's an Arsenal player and always has been, he was never ours. He'll go back and give Arsenal a decision to make, keep or sell. Even if they choose to sell then scoring in 7 straight will have turned some heads and he'll have bigger and better offers. That's always assuming we match the fee needed to get him, chances of seeing him up here permanently are virtually nil imo.

So Man U got the team news early?? Wonder who could have leaked that

Acorn hasn't rolled far from the tree has it? His dad's a soft shite and it's no surprise to see his shithouse of a son following in his dad's hoofsteps.

Ah right, sure that's the reason they said on comms but wouldn't know either way

I'm paraphrasing but that's essentially what they said. A few seconds of play elapsed between the handball and the goal. Therefore it's ignored and the goal given.

The handball wasn't 'immediately' before the goal. Apparently.

PSG score direct from a corner. Doesn't change much, another Lille goal here confirms the league, Angers aren't scoring twice. They might get 1 but never 2.

He's been brilliant like, got to be said. Totally underrated him when he signed, had no idea he was as good as he actually is.

Neymar is such a cunt like

He's getting zero credit from me as I know he's a terrible football manager and has been for a couple of decades. A good run of results at the end of the season to lift the team a few places higher in the league doesn't change that. He's got a 12th place finish but that doesn't erase the utter garbage he served up for months on end, individual players (without any direction from him) have produced performances that have, imo, raised the finishing position from where I think our performances 'deserve'. ASM, Wilson and a once-in-a-blue-moon scoring streak from Willock have bailed him out of the shit, you can look at the table and it says 12th but it's not too long ago that we were 4/6 to go down with the bookies. He's overseen another season of turgid shite in the main, punctuated by individual moments of brilliance. That's about as far as I'm prepared to go.

Nothing to do with football (obviously) but PP are doing a risk free £5 bet on the NBA if anyone's interested. Just passing it on

There's always 1 team that gets smashed on the final day. Fancy that team to be Palace this season, Liverpool to score 6 is 10/1, worth a quid

Fixed

Scratching out a one goal win against one of the worst sides the PL has ever seen. Well done Steve. You're fucking class. Now just fuck off please

Are Palace fans happy about this or not? Palace are one of those clubs I've never really followed or taken much of an interest in tbh, I'd take their opinions over the opinions of the pundits. Learned my lesson when Newcastle fans were completely ignore and told we were wrong regarding Pardew and Bruce. The fans know.

The feelings of the fans of these clubs shouldn't have even come into it, the clubs and the cunts who own them should have been nailed to the fucking wall. The contracts were signed and they'd have ruined the game across the continent without batting an eye. Don't give a fuck about it being "unfair on the fans", tough shit. You support a club with a cunt for an owner? They've been relegated because they went behind the English football pyramid's back to make loads of money? Tough. Get on with the cunt

"mighty Rafa"

3 goals with only 17% possession? He's a magician, man

Literally every sentence is wrong. Every opinion he's spouted is absolute pigshit - takes some doing to be fair.

Not putting a penny on until I see the teams, can see City completely coasting in the league and keeping it all for the CL final. Wouldn't even rule out getting a point tonight tbh
