Hahaha haha

Was coming TBF.

Frank always looks suicidal.

On RTG they seem to think it's been a tactical masterclass because it's 0-0 but they've been beaten 5 times in a row, so it's hardly like they are going to go through the gears. They can't get the ball and it's backs to the wall.

Watching this, I hope Sunderland come up. Jesus.

Unless im mistaken, the Everton job is the only one which hasn't gone well. Even at Chelsea, it was deemed a decent job given their transfer ban. He's also got a track record of bringing in young players.

I think Frank Lampard is massively hard done by. I have to admit to thinking the same until recently but he shouldn't be in the bracket of Gerrard and Rooney etc. Whenever I watch Lampard talk, he's articulate, considered and interesting. He's also not so arrogant that he won't ply his trade in the championship. Im far from suggesting that hes a great manager but he's shown he's well capable at this level, at the very least.

Always funny seeing the personality differences. Targett and Tino quiet as a mouse. Wilson and Osula won't shut up etc. Krafth seems like a sound lad. Definitely one of the more mature/sensible types.

Hes our captain. He's going nowhere. Certainly not to the Saudi league.

Jesus christ that is one beautiful couple.

I see Isak has come 3rd in the Football Writers awards, behind Salah and Van Dijk. Can't argue with that.

It's the real reason something to do with owning the rights to the badge and making more money? I might be wrong. Also the more simple the badge, the more shit they can stick it to and the more money there is to be made.

It's down to opinion though. I prefer Spurs badge to their old one and Chelseas to theirs. And while those old coat of arm badges hold historical significance, they aren't necessarily easy on the eye.

Chelsea are a good side. One area in which we are definitely better is our mentality. If we get stuck into them, they will crack under the pressure.

I think something like this would be ace. I imagine whatever they do will lack alot of detail though.

We got a trophy with this badge, so I'm less fussed if it's put out to pasture, the same with the stadium. Why not allow the fans to decide the new badge? Give me that Seahorse.

I'm actually going to go against the grain and say that I'd much prefer sides that actually won something to get into the champions league. For example qualification in England should look like: PL winners Runners Up FA cup winners Carabao Cup winners If the PL winners/runners up also win a cup then 3rd place gets in and 4th if both. So if you win Europa Conference/ Europa League then yes you should get in the CL. It also adds more reward for winning cups, which means sides try harder and play their better players, which makes it more enjoyable and engaging. We are just unfortunate that two absolute rotten sides are in the final, in a normal year a Villa or a Forest or us would likely get the benefit.

Doesnt have to be. Finding a left winger to play as back up to Gordon isn't going to be so difficult, where as Ramsey as an upgrade to Willock might be the exact target Howe wants.

If this was planned, its a low key brilliant idea to get the lads chilled out and seeing the bigger picture. I doubt our players are nervous for the big match on sunday but this is the sort of thing that is quite humbling. Also, wonder if any of those young lads become super stars.

Bollocks to that, let's let Parish think we are his mate and that he's "won", that way we can nick more of his players in the future.

Who gives a fuck man, he's going, we made a nice buck, good times.

Would love the ref to blow ridiculously early just for bantz.

A heck of a lot. But i agree. He's a good player.

Sorry who?

Eze is class but we've all seen players of his quality not quite live up to the billing. IMO he's completely wasting his career at Palace. Put him in a side which is already doing well, with other decent players and he'd flourish.
