Pochettino perfectly placed to be cropped out there.

Need to get Bertrand signed up. I can see him being tempted at teaming up with Clyne again though.

PA system for most of the Northam is shocking but discovered it's actually OK right at the very back.

I think it's an incredible marker of how far we've come rather than a ludicrous suggestion!

Well I expected sales to be doing a lot better than that after the Palace game. Pretty p*ss poor to be honest, I feel bad for Kelvin and the lads returning who might get the impression we've already forgotten who they are.

Much rather Sheffield Wednesday come up than Hull.

Maybe they did think it was related, but you don't take a chance with something like that FFS. What did you want them to do, pick it up and shake it to see if anything rattled?

Well as has been said before, there's a fair amount of money freed up in wages from outgoings this season (Ramirez and Osvaldo, plus Davis off the books). If Koeman is expecting NO-ONE to be sold I think he's being a bit unreasonable - if we're offered £40million or more for Mane we'd have to take it, and I'd have faith in our recruitment to improve our team with that much money. The thing he should be pushing for is every penny brought in to be made available for signings.

But it wasn't their fault​. It was an outside company.

I think we've got an answer to what Ralphs job role actually is...

3 centre backs, 7 centre midfielders. What?

Is that the words from the speech at the start of the season sung to the tune of My Way? Lyrics are cheesy to the extreme but still enjoyed it, would love to see Shane Long here for another 4 or 5 years.

Surely it's 1 step back and two steps forward, seeing as we HAVE been improving every season?

Even when he has played, he's looked a bit iffy to me. VERY selfish, to the point others have had a huge go at him for shooting from distance when they were wide open...but hopefully he can be coached into playing "our" way and recognising what the best option to take is.

I agree, I actually meant i don't like that the players were going against Koemans instructions (if that's what happened).

Also showed nothing of ours from the first half except the goal despite having two good attempts - Mane and Romeu - as well as ignoring the nice moment with Davis which could have at least been acknowledged.

Assume you quoted the wrong person there!

Why? What's the alternative, that they're covering up a genuine bomb?

Just said on Sky that Koeman was angry Bertrand was taking the penalty and was trying to tell the players to get the regular penalty taker on it...that's a strange one. Not sure i like that.

Indeed. Two big name, big money signings who should free up a lot of wages.

He was the only outfield player today that hasn't scored this season iirc, which may be why he took the penalty.

And if our style isn't working, like first half today? Palace packed the box and reduced us to shooting from range, we needed someone who could either batter a hole in their defence or shoot out of nowhere, Pelle was perfect for that. And for his size he actually isn't that great in the air, Shane Long wins more headers for me.

If someone offers more than £10million I think you take it, but otherwise he's a brilliant option to have. Can't argue with his return, he must average a goal every 3 games? Which is very good really. Not everyone can be Aguero.

Voted for Cuco but actually think Allis goal was the best.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha
