They're like us under Ashley for me. Why show ambition to push on when you can spend the maximum it takes just to finish out of a relegation scrap.

Cronky Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I hate to say it, but Spurs look like the real deal. They just need to keep Maddison fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now you could argue that with Bentancur back Maddison might not be the biggest issue. The drop-off after Son, the keeper and the centre-backs is arguably greater. Remains to be seen how fully Bentancur has recovered from his horrible injury though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Stuck record and I know everyone is saying it. But Ange really is quality and a breath of fresh air. I’m sure there are lots of ‘normal’ people in management. But none that seem to also be so talented and come across so well in the media. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was your best player before doing his ACL, I thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Are Palace skint? Why do they still roll out the same shite week in week out? Feel like I've been watching Joel Ward play for them for about 20 years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I did see something recently saying Palace have only really sold one asset in Wan Bisaaka in recent years for any money so maybe that explains it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a bit bizarre because putting the football stuff aside all he’s doing is just being a normal - albeit clever and witty - bloke. The fact it stands out so much is a bit glaring. Just look at Neville’s mildly hysterical laughter when they were chatting after the game last night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 AP wasn't a household name so naturally podcasters and Twitter morons alike had a good old laugh at the appointment, but he's a good coach. Much like De Zerbi he's on a good run and riding the crest of a wave, but the real test is how he and his side react when that comes to an end.

Carragher sometimes comes across pretty well. Gobbing at people aside But with so many pundits. It all feels contrived for them to seem relatable, or worse, like they are deliberately playing a character. Like the whole comedy duo with Richards and Keane. Do me a favour. It’s vomit inducing. They’ve both become a parody of themselves, like so many on Sky. Edited October 28, 2023 by Lush Vlad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Speaking of the game, I rewatched it late last night. Having those refs who don’t want to book players is all well and good, and seems even-handed on the face of it, but when one team is systematically spoiling and fouling from the front as part of their gameplan then you just end up favouring them dramatically. Watch Jordan Ayew. Every single thing he did when he didn’t have the ball but was somewhere near it was a foul. It was amazing. Anyway, job done, the fact that we played Monday and Friday and came away with 6pts is ace and now we can take it easy for 10 days or whatever it is.

NUFCDoog Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Not sure what to watch, Chelsea/Brentford feels routine home win unfortunately, they've picked up last few weeks Chelsea. Whereas Southampton v Birmingham will probably be closer and more intriguing with Rooney etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmesy Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Cole Palmer is the one player this summer that I think We were daft not to sign. He’s got so much class and composure on the ball, plays wide or number 10 and he’s the perfect age. Surprised we weren’t in for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Didn’t they pay like £40m for him, with a load of add ons to come, as well? I bet he would have wanted daft money and all. Not really surprised at all, personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I've gone for Southampton. It helps if the team you want to win ate expected to. Might switch over to Chelsea if Saints go 3 up. I was actually wanting to watch a bit of Schalke vs Hannover, 2 big city teams thst should probably be in the top half of the top flight, certainly Schalke, yet it's a 2nd tier clash, and Schalke are currently 3rd bottom. Its on Sky's YouTube channel and LivefootballonTV said 11am, so was going to watchmost of it, but it's actually 12pm and clashes a lot with the other 2 matches. 2-0 Saints.
