Not sure which is funnier, this post, or Man U fans right about……… now.

Games, or seasons?

We’ll be contacting Sean Dyche for ideas pretty soon I reckon.

It's difficult because if you look at the overall season he's done quite well. Won the trophy last year, three quarter finals in Europe in a row, just sitting outside the European slots for now.. it's just got ugly recently and the football is dour but it works. I'd take that at the moment over our would be 38 points

At the same time, he came out in the media today complaining that we had played 12 more games than Palace, but he only likes having a small squad.

It's time to move on with the times and bring in a manager who wants to play progressive football with some actual pressing and give the younger players a chance.

From a flick on I guess, but then 20 mins of game time earlier against Sheffield

Of course these things are always unlikely to ever happen, but I looked up the tiebreaker rules should Liverpool and Man City end up equal, given their records are so similar this season.

Say Liverpool had one extra goal scored, and City drew their game in hand 0-0, the current situation would be deciding 2nd and 3rd behind Arsenal by,

1. Points = equal on 74
2. Goal difference = equal on +44
3. Goals scored = equal on 76
4. Head-to-head points = equal based on 2 draws
5. Head-to-head away goals scored = based on 2 away goals each
6. Play-off = just what we need, another game.

Imagine how nuts it would be if Arsenal dropped a game, and Liverpool - City won through to equal records - a playoff to decide the title, Pep v Klopp in an epic winner-take-all final game no one planned for!

And then 0-0 in the last minute of injury time a ball whipped in by Trent cleared away by Stones only to fall to the one, the only Joe Gomez about 30 yards out. He hits it on the volley and it sails top corner.

Nobody is prepared for Joe Gomez' first goal in football.

Lol bloke getting paid to work for Forest thinks think they were hard done by
Suns also hot

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Have to agree …all three were penalties. They’re accusing the VAR ref of being a Luton fan and brought it up before the game

Dear Mr Clattenberg

I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

(PS Even if you find they knew and screwed your team over anyway, just don't ask for a replay or any compensation. Bad form apparently. )

Jogo would take a goal bundled in off his nuts right now tbf. Incredible that he hasn't scored in 10 years of professional football (although about 4 of those were spent on the treatment table)!

 

[Dogs till i die]

Bloody shame I've barely been able to watch Eze and Olise together this season, doubt either will be at Palace next season, incredible talents. Wharton will be spoken in the same way in 2 years time, bargain signing at £20m in January, whilst Mateta is starting to score regularly.

Best 30 minutes I've seen by Palace for a long time going 4-0 up, add Guehi and Doucoure to that team and we are top 10 if not top 8.

Nice to finally be safe, just get the feeling it could've been so much better with more games from Eze, Doucoure, Olise, Guehi etc.

Glasner changed our set up, so far, so good.

Minute 23: Ashley Young kicks Giovanni Reyna's foot as he goes to play the ball. It's a bit like the Anthony Gordon one against West Ham. You could argue the forward initiates the contact by stepping across. Gordon got the penalty, Reyna didn't. It's probably one of those where if the ref had given the pen then VAR wouldn't have overturned it.

Minute 44: Callum Hudson-Odoi's attempted cross hits the outstretched arm of Young. This is a clear penalty. Young's arm is a long way from his body. It's possible that Anthony Taylor was unsighted but VAR should have referred him to the monitor.



Minute 55: Hudson-Odoi gets the wrong side of Young is brought down. Apparently Anthony Taylor thought that Young got the ball. The replay showed he was wrong. VAR should have referred him to the monitor and a penalty awarded.

It was incompetent refereeing by Anthony Taylor and particularly incompetent by VAR. Stuart Attwell should be stood down.

They probably could have had a couple pens - but even then there’s no guarantee they would score. There was the ball that was clearly out that Forrest fluffed the shot on just after. They had their chances either way. Swings and roundabouts. We’ve had **** all go our way all season. They can cry all the way to the championship and watch all their millions of pounds worth of players jump ship. The statement post game makes the club look like a basket case, reeks of entitlement and opens them right up to being poked fun at. At least wait until everything cools down a bit and lodge an official complaint properly without the media fanfare.

Wouldnt mind Liverpool signing them both, only issue is their fitness. Both quality players.

 

[Bradesmaen]

The controversy is good for Everton. It shows Dyche once and for all that Ashley Young is done as a player. He's already given away a few penalties this season with similar s**t challenges so FFS bench him

Whats their contract status like? No chance Palace lets them both go cheap.

Both up in the summer of 2027. So plenty of time still to run.

 

[jod23]

Yeah they will be expensive which is why Liverpool wont be after either.

If only you didn't spend 70 million on a striker who thinks hitting the top corner of the stand is on target.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Palace seem to be lining up in the 3-4-2-1 system.
The very same system that Leverkusen use. I have noticed that Rohl at SWFC is also using it to good effect.
