The Bonk

@54 Might make sense to add eligible squad list's to your post for all competitions? Appreciate you starting this.

Is Miley still out? Also to the harsh but fair Tonali ban description.

Was just thinking this, some sites I've looked at have us at 7 first team players out, but I feel it's more than that?

Mitro really screwed Fulham, they’re more useless than Palace in the final 3rd.

That’s quality from Fernandes to be fair.

Iwoful launches one into the Thames. Not the first time this match either.

Be hilarious if Fulham win this. Maguire concussed? Surprised he was allowed to play on from the shoulder he took to the temple first half.

He was really gumming over that mouthpiece before belting this out.

Looks like either side bar the centre of it, which is baffling.

Fair and yeah, moves to the top of the heap in regards to dodgy dealings.

Eh? Please describe how the intent is any different from the above? Is getting Neves dodgy? Hell yes, but the multi-club model is equally as dodgy.

Also, the state of that hotel room.

I worked on one for Chelsea years ago, it's shocking we don't have one. Some on here might oppose change, but there's no better way to track fan engagement, layer in more sponsorship money than having a club mobile app.

Have a feeling we’ll win, but lose another player to injury.

Going to use David Edgar to find the next David Edgar.

Onana keeping this close.

Damn, that was some save. Game was getting juicy there and that goal would have killed it off.

Agreed, it was lazy from those parroting it and used to wind us up, which works for clicks to those hunting for them.

Great points and you’ve changed my opinion on Palace. They pull in those players due to the appeal of living in the greater London area as a young, wealthy athlete. Good for them, keeps the club operating efficiently, but where is the growth? Suppose it’s better to be efficient and profitable than in a predicament like Everton find themselves in. Think we have different interpretations of identity or maybe the on/off field identity’s. For me, culture drives identity and they're seemingly more bothered by our ownership than being anything other than a mid table PL club. That’s my personal bias towards them and similar clubs. We get branded “deluded Geordies” because we have heightened expectations of the club due to previous successes. I know that bothers some of our fanbase, but I would rather we have that label than be seen as accepting of mediocrity.

Poch

Get in! Love seeing Chelsea struggle.

They lack identity, both as a club and fanbase. In the community that is English football, they're mostly irrelevant. On the surface, it appeared Viera was trying to build that, but ultimately it seemed to fizzle out as the fans didn't really rally around him. Since Howe has come here, he's galvanized the fanbase, players and boardroom. That's a huge part of our turnaround, the culture he's tried to instil from day 1. I agree with you, my statement was a bit silly, but the quality that keeps Palace in the league is mostly from their academy and catchment. Good on them for developing that player pipeline, but they've never really done anything of note with it.

Couldn't agree more.

Kinda protruding from his torso, though. Helped him get the ball into a single touch.
