Old post but this is kind of ignoring that they were pretty shit when he took over and he has built them up to where they are now. He shouldn't be under pressure for one down season where they'll likely finish 2nd and got to a CL semi. If it continues to go downhill then he will be under pressure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly a far cry from when they were the moral arbiters of football and how the game should be player, under Wenger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucasol Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Watching the highlights back, I got irrationally annoyed by the “Holmesdale” gimps in their white t-shirts. It’s like Wor Flags getting dressed up in matching specially made gear. Weird people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Don't really have any axe to grind with Palace. VAR howler aside, they were worthy winners and reduced City to very few chances. Fair play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

christ Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Genuinely pleased for Palace. Their chairman may be a bellend and their middle class try hard ‘ultras’ cringeworthy in the extreme, but seeing a team for which winning a trophy matters so much is always better than City, Liverpool hoovering up another. Would I be saying all of this if we hadn’t won the Carabao? Absolutely not. I’d be green with jealousy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 (edited) Didn't get to see the final yesterday so held off seeing the result so I could watch the game today - got to say am happy for Palace - seeing their fans going through the range of emotions just made me relive our day at Wembley. Worthy winners. Edited May 18 by duo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf to Arteta there was a period where they were playing really good football, was the best in the league but I agree with Gary Neville that he seemed to change ever since losing that game ag the Etihad Turned into a wealthy Stoke City since then and they are worse for it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 They’ll be nicking the goal posts, nets, corner flags and digging up the turf at final whistle. Meanwhile, in the stands they’ll be unscrewing “their” seat and anything not firmly anchored down. Be no stadium left for the lasses… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
