Man City have woken up. Those Palace players and fans really thought they'd done it.

The way Liverpool are going they might only get two more points

McCoist has lost the plot here. You cannot give a foul for that let alone a penalty. There's nothing in it at all.

Yes admittedly he plays as a second striker for them but there's no reason to suggest he wouldn't do similar for us. I can see Howe adapting his style a little next season, like he tried to do at the start of this one. £60M is about right I think. Considering the crazy prices around is be alright with that. He's 25 so you'd get your moneys worth on him on a 5 or even 6yr deal.

But Cunha doesn't just add versatility. He add goals and more importantly he creates chances. He would be starting every week. He's averaged 1 in 2 for goals this season and that's in a below average team. Plus a sprinkle of assists there as well.

We've got Tino. But in terms of back up, I'd be happy with Walker-Peters. He's free, he's Premier League quality and can play both sides.

Chelsea are the only team who would stupid bullshit like signing Gibbs-White AND Cunha. It's one of the other for us, if we even are able to get one of them that. I'm not so sure we will. I'll be pleased but extremely surprised.

Certainly is a plus point for Cunha that we're all even having this argument. He can genuinely play in 3/4 different positions and plays them all very well. I've no doubt he would fit into Howes style of play and you'd think it would allow us to be a even more flexible in attacking areas.

He's been sick. Tindall said he hopes he'll be back for the weekend.

Save some gaffs for Sunday please Onana.

Considering what happened to Everton and Forrest I'm shocked more in the media can't see the blatant corruption that we are seeing right now. If there is any justice; Chelsea and Man City start next season with massive points deductions and transfer bans. Won't happen but it's what they deserve.

Nice goal. Villa will really have a struggle to get through now.

Ferdinand becoming increasingly irritating as the game goes on.

Villa really struggling. On this showing, a final of PSG v Arsenal would be very entertaining.

Seems fair enough, I've no issue with that. He either stays for his last year and leaves with as much goodwill as he'll ever have next summer or he gets sold this summer and enjoys actually playing football again for another club.

Forrest have 'One Season Wonder' written all over them. Especially if they keep the same style of play next season, teams will be far better prepared for it. Plus, can Spurs and Man Utd be as bad as they have been this year. I expect even though they will finish in UCL, Forrest will lose a couple of big players. Murillo and maybe Aina is my guess.

We're THIRD in the form table for the last 5 games. Palace are FIRST. We're FIFTH in the form table for the last 10 games. Palace are SECOND. February was a bad month for us, but we only played one Prem game in March so can't take any form judgement from that month really.

I think we'll finish on 67pts. Which should be plenty enough to get 5th minimum. So that's 14pts from a possible 24pts left available. I'd say that's fairly reasonable considering the form we're in and the games we've got coming up. That does rely heavily on us winning the next two though.

Same with Palace. They play Forrest City, Arsenal, Bournemouth and us. They actually play Villa as well, but that's in the FA Cup. Plus they play Liverpool last game of the season but that won't make much of a difference either way. If Palace play their cards right and pick up points against those above them at the right time, they could easily sneak a European place and potentially win the FA Cup. That would be an outstanding season for any team.

Villa and Chelsea are very likely to win but Man City v Palace could be absolutely anything. Wouldn't shock me to see Palace win that.

Leaving for HT and never coming back. Ground was only 2/3 full anyway, if that.

This is what happens when you play very poor teams. You get dragged down to their level. They are just so incredibly easy to score against.

Half time subs please Eddie Isak off - Wilson or Osula on Tripps off - Krafth on Then Miley and Longstaff on at 60 minutes. Easy stuff.

Almost showtime! I'm very much looking forward to hearing about Liverpool and Man Utd for the next hour and 20 minutes before they show the line ups 10 minutes from KO.

I still think it's a big ask, I don't doubt Howe would like him to play every game but I'm not sure it's wise when Krafth is more than good enough to play against Leicester. Including today the next 4 games come very quickly from eachother, we'll really need Tripps for Man U and Palace.
