SUPERTOON

No recongnised striker for Palace.

? I mean with Clark being our best defender, i expected him to be straight back in considering the penalty given away from Lejune.

Very surprised at that tbh. Merino and Clark should surely have come back in. Clark especially considering Lejune struggled last week.

This West Ham result may help tell us how serious any takeover bid is. Guessing Bilic will be sacked now and they will come for Rafa, he won't go if he knows a takeover will happen.

An agreement where sensitive data is handed over that is embargoed from public view under a legal agreement that you do not disclose it outside of the parties involved. Cheers.

Sorry to be thick but what exactly is a non disclosure agreement?

I agree. As I said earlier - how is this any different to when he put the club up for sale last time? Just an excuse not to spend in Jan imo. I completely agree that it is no different to last time and I think nothing is or will happen. However it's got nowt to do with January spending. He couldn't care less about our opinions or reaction to him not spending money since he has done the same thing in pretty much every transfer window.

We can rule out Amanda Stavely or those Chinese consortiums that were being linked last week, because if they or anyone else was seriously interested, then the statement wouldn't be put out.

Seems a bit pointless putting out a statement tbh, seemingly there isn't much serious interest so no idea why he has suddenly made it public.

Wasn't there a similar statement made in after the whole KK thing? Not getting to excited, feels like this could be another Ashley stunt.

A team without Elliot in goal wins today.

Looks like Southamptons strongest 11 possible. We will have to be very organised here to get anything.

Can't see any goals for us tbh.

We have looked absolutely toothless away from home and is seemingly where our lack of quality shows. Southampton are solid at the back and will have too much for us. 2-0

Supposed to be around £380 million so say no lower than £350 million.

Think we will take a battering today like, although we are likely to score. 1-4

Bringing on one of our best players to affect a game is concerning? No I mean he's obviously our best option, but he isn't the type of player who is likely to make a massive impact off the bench.

Relying on Shelvey to change a game is concerning tbh.

Surely sub time?

Time for Hayden to be on the bench for a spell.

Wtf happened at half time? We've fallen apart

We look a little bit more open at the back, hopefully sort that out at HT.

Pretty obvious why Stoke were desperate to get rid.

To be fair to Brighton, they did well for the most part against City, and looked pretty comfortable until the last 20 minutes. Then they comfortably beat West Brom who were unbeaten at the time. Think this will be a lot harder than people are expecting, just hope the players aren't over confident going in, happened a couple of times last season.

Stoke are a team of giants which makes the delivery and header all the more impressive.
