Well that was unexpected. -
His name has been circulated 2nd/3rd hand twice to people that have good track records since February. I just always assumed that it would be dependent on whether Leicester got promoted or not.

So much for Southampton making this interesting. -

To be fair, the clubs that have pushed the limits of the restrictions have created this 'sad' new football. Clubs like ourselves shouldn't be at a sporting disadvantage for abiding to the restrictions set. -
Sadly, whoever wins now will have an asterisk next to it.

Surprised by that. The more I read about Almiron, the more I think his preferential 3-4-3 press would suit the team.

Leeds fans right now: -
Yeah Newcastle are a good shout. You could see our centre backs and two creative players having a positive impact there. Not that i can see us selling more than two in one window. I'm not sure what there FFP situation is like though. I do think, that had we signed two creative players last summer, we could have competed for a top half finish this season. We've dropped so many points in the last 20 minutes by trying to be regimented and then having no creative outlets to give the ball to.

Not that anybody could have anticipated what has happened, but I think the one thing Matthew Benham probably is critical of himself for is not building a bigger stadium. I imagine the ideal next step will be something half way to the current stadium and Twickenham with it being a multi purpose stadium for additional revenue.

On a happier note I hope you all enjoyed MOTD 2 yesterday. Its a shame that we haven't seen Olise and Eze play together more often this season as them two behind Mateta seems to be the Premier League's answer to The Harlem Globetrotters. They're both Champions League quality players now. If you stand off them both they'll destroy you and if you get close to them they're so good in tight spaces you need three players round them. I don't think we will see two complete players with this much talent in the same Palace team for a very long time. Its just about enjoying the last five matches seeing them together now. I think we're resigned to losing Michael Olise. Hopefully it will be an early 'United Panic Buy' as opposed to a late signing when other teams have missed out on first targets. As with our track record of signing replacements we'd be in for another long season.

Ah fuck. Finally get to the top and shoot myself in the foot. I did all my research for this on Tuesday too.

It feels weird we are seemingly out of this given the season we've had and the results against Luton, Forest and Everton. Sadly I think the bottom three are set now. Next season will be more interesting looking at the top four in The Championship, Palace likely to lose Olise and another, Brentford likely to lose Toney, Forest likely to lose Gibbs-White and Everton may find it difficult to strengthen. I think Palace and Brentford will adapt but I'm not sure about the other two. Wolves always seem close on the PSR limit too.
