Hope Palace tumble down the divisions and spend a nice long stint in League 1. Horrid club.

Battled well and won the ball in some good areas today. Wish he'd scored cos I had a tenner on him at 10/1 for first goal!

Can't stand him, like. Awkward on the ball and very languid and lollopy without it. You see the odd beast mode game from him but it's about twice a season. Odd player.

Poor on the ball by his usual decent standards today, but still did very well in terms of putting a shift in and covering hard yards. The early yellow didn't help like. Booked for his first foul and yet the ref spoke to Fer about 3 or 4 times before producing a card.

Nice for them to get a bit more limelight and credit today. Rafa has clearly taught them a lot. Well done lads.

Positives: Gamez after the first 20 mins or so. Merino is absolutely class. Joselu, he'll get goals and his all round game is good. Lascelles not a foot wrong. Elliot's kicking much better and some canny stops. Sanches being shit and Abraham doing nowt bar the 1 chance. Negatives: Hayden poor in possesion. Manquillo backing off too much. Murphy weak as water and a bit lost apart from tracking back. Diame being the usual waste of a shirt. Really good overall away showing though. We definitely edged it and they looked quite ordinary.

Sanches was turboshit worst performance I've seen from an opposing player since Bosingwa kept us up.

Shit first half. Looks a bit lost.

If I know Rafa he'll be watching the game and constantly on the phone to Paco and the others.

The Mane red card annoys me when we got fuck all given to us for the Mounie one on Mbemba.

Mane as captain ffs.

I reckon the only thing he'd get bigger applause for would be if he grabbed Wraithy's heed and started playing it like a bongo drum.

Shelvey needs to start on the bench for this one like. Hayden and Merino looked canny against West Ham and neither deserves to be dropped for the man who has one brain cell more than he does hairs on his head.

"Divvent bounce it on the pavement man av just bought it"

serves us right.

The coupon wrecker to end all coupon wreckers from France like

Same, I stuck a few quid on them at 55/1 after an hour.

Aaron A Aaronson never had that apostrophe problem.

Anyone started a whip-round for a hitman yet?

Looks like a kid sat at home retweeting and outtting his own view out there and calling it the truth. he writes for Football365 amongst others. I mean what makes more sense to you? Oh aye, the great Footbal365. The go to place for everyone to read football stories made up by other media outlets. Has one of your brain cells died and left just one in there?

Straight swap for Ryan Sessegnon would be dece.

Can still get 12/1 as next PL manager to leave with Sky.

Prediction: Colback and Lazaar out on loan, Darlow sold, a few of the young lads out on loan (Woolston, Barlaser) and naebody in.
