  1. Has James Vowles read my application to switch teams yet?
  2. I wouldn't say certainly. Nobody seems to know for certain if they have release clauses and how much they'll be. Or if the impending new financial rules proposed by Steve Parish will allow us to keep hold of some of our sellable assets. It could be a scenario where we lose just one sellable asset in Marc Guehi. If that happens then we have had a very good transfer window.
  3. What a day of football. Crawley winning at Wembley and Palace finishing in the top half for the first time in nine years. The fact we have done it by finishing above Brighton, who had been above us for 37 gameweeks, makes it when better. It's going to break my heart when this team gets torn apart in the summer.
  4. That playoff final was a prime example why those that don't want VAR need to be careful what they wish for. If Crewe get a penalty for that dive it's 1-1 and Crewe have all the momentum. Instead Crawley deservedly win very comfortably.
  5. How many first choices do this lot have? My first thought is he's off to Juventus. If that's the case then Brighton should go to Thiago Motta whose about as like-for-like replacement with an impressive CV you're going to get for Roberto De Zerbi.
  6. Josh Murphy has been winding back the years this first half. Deserved 2-0 lead.
  7. I dont think they're a contender to win the league but that list is stronger than i assumed it would be.
  8. Look forward to the delayed shock on BBC and ITV that Callum Styles is Hungarian.
  9. Leclerc Norris Leclerc Sainz 13th Gasly
  10. I can't see the proposal vote getting 14 votes to be honest. Here's a reminder of what honourary mason member Anthony Taylor gave as a penalty without the assistance of VAR this season. Be careful what you wish for.
  11. @Rab Can you check the IP addresses please? I think Brian has hacked in to Stan's account.
  12. It wasn't meaningless for Spurs and I think that showed in the level of performance they put out. They knew there was a slim chance of still making 4th and wanted to make that happen. Regardless of what elements of the fan base felt. Can't really begrudge Daniel Levy for outpricing those fans.
  13. After this season I genuinely hope we don't see Burnley or Sheffield United in this league again for some time.
  14. 'Don't believe everything you read' was the response from better connected people over the weekend, which I interpret as the club don't believe an official approach is forthcoming.
  15. I do wonder, if I wasn't so invested in FPL with friends, how much I'd care about modern day Premier League football. It's incredibly boring seeing the same team win all the time. I might give Serie A a go at the start of next season, at least that feels like an open field for the first part of the season.
  16. €100m for a manager. BILD must be German for The Sun.
  17. Not seeing what Olise and Eze could do when fully fit together fot a whole seaon is probably going to go down as one of the biggest what ifs in our clubs history. There was a period when Eze was returning to full fitness earlier in the season where we picked up one point in three against Luton, Brighton and Chelsea. Aside from that when they've started together it's been: Brentford - win Sheffield United - win Liverpool - win West Ham - win Newcastle - win Manchester United - win Wolves - win. If we beat Aston Villa, who will hopefully be on the beach by next weekend, we will equal our highest points total in The Premier League. After the Luton draw that was unthinkable given not many could see how we could get to 40 points. This is a major summer ahead again. Everybody should be after Michael Olise. Last summer I thought he was becoming a Mahrez-esque with his cutting inside in the final third, but the way his link up play and crossing has progressed he reminds me a little of De Bruyne. Ebere Eze is another one who you could see being moulded in to an 8 at a top club. The ideal situation would be that we just lose Marc Guehi. I say that because he hasn't signed a new contract and Glasner starting Clyne ahead of him yesterday raised a lot of eyebrows. There's a left footed centre back that's out of contract at Wolfsburg has worked with previously that seems like a straight forward replacement. The new financial spending limits coming in hopefully negates the pressure to sell our highest value players.

    I think they'll have a shelf life if the cards don't improve. All people talk about with these shows is the crowd. With The Bloodline and CM Punk parked there doesn't feel like there's much going on.
  19. It should be an interesting clash of styles in these matches. Whilst the Leeds/Norwich has some fantastic individuals on both sides that should decide who goes through, the West Brom/Southampton pairing feels like it could be a tactical and more methodical tie which could be decided on which manager gets it right.
  20. I'd fancy Bolton to win this one. They're definitely the better team on paper and I'd fancy them to stay up in The Championship without having to make massive changes.
  21. Crawley have been excellent over the two legs. Hats off to everybody at the club. The Crypto nerds recieved huge criticism from all directions for there methods last season but theyve seemingly learned from the critics, overhauled the team and this season its paid off. They're in a unique position where I worry for them if they go up but I'd worry for them if they don't go up too as whatever divison they're in they could lose a lot of key players. Liam Kelly's reminded everybody why Jaap Stam fell in love with him, Corey Addai has outperformed his Xgc by 18 goals and is out of contract, Lolos is at an age where he could be sold for a decent profit, Danilo Orsi will attract interest with 24 goals and the manager has arguably had a better year in the EFL than Kieron McKenna. Either way, I'll be going to Wembley to cheer them on and look forward to it.
