Edwards especially. He's been like that since he got banned from the club. Constant negative twist on everything and the first to try and start the hysteria on twitter.

I haven't been as pessimistic as most people on here but reading Hope's tweets and a new round of similar excuses of why we're not signing a whole host of wingers is just really pathetic. The club really need to make a statement before the negativity spills into the new season. ... or worse and lose the best manager we've had in over a decade.

Given the prices in this market Darlow for around £5m is an absolute steal.

Holtby for a reported £5m seems like a good deal to me. I'm probably in the minority but I thought he looked decent for Spurs.

Vaguely remember a Brentford fan on here months ago saying Jota was shite?

This. Hope it isn't one of his old tricks to stop any transfer dealings.

I can understand why it's a difficult choice for him. Glen Murray wont be able to play a ton of games at Brighton and he could easily be first choice there. I think most of us are struggling to see how Abraham is going to fit in for us unless Gayle's injury problems continue.

Will be a good free transfer for someone ?

Rip

I'm the same as a few others on here - it's a good transfer it's just a shame there's no option to buy. I'm more interested in the wider impact this will have on Mitrovic and whether we'll look for another striker.

missing 3. The leg breaker (can't for the life of me remember who it is ), guy in blue sliding celebration and white kit volley Klinsman sliding, Yeboah with the thunderbastard and Eduardo had his leg broken but I can't remember who broke it either.

I can understand it. I always find it odd when English born players choose to try and play for Ireland, Wales etc because of a grandparent. If there's no national pride there then you're better off quitting and leaving it to someone who cares.

What a season!

Norwich at home felt pivotal so if I had to go for one i'd probably go with that. Some lesser mentioned things that have been high points: The majority of people whinging when we signed Ciaran Clark - me included - then him turning into Paolo Maldini The bitterness of other "big clubs" in the league whinging about parachute payments and how much we've spent despite our players sales and not actually receiving payments. "Mitro's on fire" blasting out from our away fans. Special mention to the same song at home after the game and Mitro absolute loving it. Shame that song didn't get more of an outing due to him not exactly being on fire The forum bricking it earlier in the season "insert winger" is going to tear Dummet apart" Dummet cancelling out every winger in the league Rafa shaking everyone's hand after Preston and the crowd loving his mini lap around the pitch. Gallowgate flags and everyone who has tried to build and maintain an atmosphere into this season. Top work. David Prutton predictions having us around mid-table. Prutton Diame's world class Ameobi finish v Brighton.

woooooooooooow!

Villa fans probably cheered the goal going in.

? Pretty much my perspective too. I was gutted we threw the title away but seeing us promoted at home to Preston was excellent. Both us and Brighton have had chances to kill the title race and haven't taken it. Fair play to whichever club manages to scrape it.

Saw this on twitter too ???

Love this! Also congratulations!

Sounds like an elaborate Ashley scheme to get out of giving Rafa funds On a serious note.. fuck sake!!!

Loved the game last night - I hung around for a longer than normal at the end just to take in the good vibes before we're back to the harder struggle of the Premier League. Watching Rafa strut around the pitch shaking everyone's hand and the crowd loving him was an incredible experience. I thought the atmosphere was weird last night though. It was incredibly subdued in the build up and then after they scored two thirds of the stadium moaned at every slow or backwards pass - I was pleased we scored late after loads of people pissed off on 40 minutes or so. That corner does a brilliant job getting behind the team and trying to create an atmosphere - I wonder if it would be worth trying to expand that section by relocating people wanting to make noise? There must be loads of people wanting to get over to that side of the ground. Chuffed that we strolled to the win! I thought Perez had a very good second half, it was good to see him commiting players again. We've massively missed those driving runs from Hayden too.

I thought his overall game was good last night but the same problem was there - he doesn't look like scoring. I'd keep him for next season, there's a player in there somewhere but he can't be who we're relying on to keep us up.

100% loved it. The past few weeks have been a struggle and it's been disappointing missing out on the title - I know it's still vaguely possible - but overall I've enjoyed going into every game hoping for a win and being one of the best teams in the league. I've enjoyed the amount of games too.

Might be looking into this too much but this could be a massive game for both Atsu and Mitrovic as to whether they've got a future here. They've both been given another big chance that they hadn't really taken earlier in the season.

Quite like it!
