Would much prefer to see a bit of Muto.

Got the job done. Showed good character last 15.

Lost the plot here. Changes please Rafa.

Cunts.

Better.

Best half from one of our players in a long time. Gini vs Norwich off the top of my head.

Almiron channelling his inner Luke De Jong there.

Front 3 are electric. Perez playing like aguero.

As one of the posts above says, a lot of Rafa's issues aren't financial. Get deals done early in the window. Don't mess about with targets who could go elsewhere. If you know player x is leaving, sell him ASAP, so that resources can be reinvested. If you know player x is likely to leave but hasn't yet gone, don't use it as an excuse not to replace him. Don't haggle over small amounts on key targets. Its a bigger risk NOT signing them. Scrap the "never pay decent wedge for players over 28" rule.

Barton presumably?

Game over.

Game on.

Yeah but he's the glue that holds palace together.

City have dropped into 3rd gear. They need to push on and get a second. Palace will get a chance at some point.

Not even close but the answer is in your post.

Should never be allowed back in the game after this.

It certainly sounds like he wants to stay but he's playing the club wonderfully.

See you next year.

Gerrup

Should Be it.

1 minute.

Fuck off Teilmans. Shouldn't be on the pitch.

Going to concede. I can feel it.

Carraghers been ok to be fair.

Did Lascelles chin Hayden at some point? Playing like Makelele at the moment.
