I was unsure how to score our summer window. Is it scored relative to past windows? Relative to the windows of other clubs? Was reading around seeing what various sites/pundits were saying. A query returned something from NBC near the top. (Because I’m in the US? Because of my query: “transfer window grades”). Anyway, they grades (A-F) posted. For some perspective, I looked at the grades given for last summer’s window (2021-22). Resigning Lukaku and Ronaldo don’t seem so smart now. Our D- was generous. Thought it might be interesting to hear what NO thinks of how our rivals did. I couldn’t possibly give grades or numbers (7.3). And in some instances, I’ll just admit I don’t have a clue (Southampton, Forest). Chelsea and Man United spent, but did they really do that well? Good: Arsenal, Newcastle United, Tottenham, Manchester City Blah: Aston Villa, Leeds Bad: Bournemouth, Brighton, Everton, Leceister City, Liverpool

Is that what he thinks we’re “a bit tampony” about? JFC. More riled by the Robson comments. It’s about football. That’s it. I really like this Palace side and I think Vieira is a good manager. He’s done a lot with a limited squad. Not getting smashed by Man City and Liverpool is an achievement. But damn they do seem to throw away a lot of points. Last minute equalizers seemed incredibly frequent last season. If ASM & Bruno are available, this will look a lot like the Forest and first half of the Man City game.

It’s always nice to have fans of other clubs wish you well— a CL spot would be nice. But I want make it clear that I liked your post because I agree with your assessment of Tuchel. Maybe not as forcibly. I agree that Tuchel is something of a fraud. The pressure is coming.

Kill it with fire.

Don’t think this is fair. He played his best football under Howe. I think he’s up for it and will contribute quite a lot when he comes back.

Terrified that ASM’s injury is serious.

I’d read it was his wages or his agent asking for a large commission. Always something.

I’d imagine that At 300K a week it’s very easy to convince yourself that you’re just on the brink of a breakthrough.

No. Care to share?

Everyone assuming that Isak goes straight in. (So much for letting him bed in.)

Maybe. Probably. But if the right player becomes available for whatever reason. And the situation arises… say we’re in the mix for a spot in Europe. I’m confident they’ll seize the opportunity. Optimistic.

Can hardly wait til January. More.

Don’t know. Just works for me.

Still unbelievable. “Wonderful” and “awesome” are cheap descriptions nowadays.

They did not impress. We were better. One moment of quality a piece.

Right imagine this side with Maddison instead of Willock.

Thought we were better today than most here. Missing Wilson, Bruno, and Shelvey. Created a lot of chances, but we’ve nobody who can finish. The usual culprits. Thought Longstaff was better in the first half than most allow. Stunk it up in the second. Joelinton’s performance today is under appreciated. Fraser impressed.

My completely deluded 11: Pope Trippier Schaar Botman Targett Paqueta Bruno Joelinton Diaby Isak ASM But I’ll accept Pedro, Maddison, or Pulisic as well.

ITK in ignorance shocker.

I understand that Price supports Sunderland, what about the other Animals? Anyone support NUFC? Eric Burdon and Chas Chandler are both acceptable answers.

Agree. Why the f*** am I spending so much time in these transfer threads.

We’ll be in it. They’ve scored one goal in three games.
