What a save Pope

Danny Ings close...

Be a bit lol if Palace equalised... Apparently Everton have never come back from 2-0 down at half time so the taters said at the Villa game.

Come on Burnley then. They'd take a draw tonight but Villa are looking dangerous

Nooooooo

Bloody Palace.

Villa just have more quality. Burnley rely on being solid but they weren't when Buendia steamed in. A draw wouldn't be a bad result but I think there's another goal in this for Villa... which will mean Burnley also need to score again. Ultimately Everton to lose would be the main result of the night, so come on Palace!

Villa level. Poor.

They want their next "Aguerooooo" moment. Only it might be "Salahhhhhhhhhhh". Funny if the title winning goal was scored by someone whose name you can't scream out like "Oxlade-Chamberlain".

They're going to do it aren't they, bloody Everton. Pah. Well if it's not them I'm hoping it's Leeds as I'd quite like Burnley to stay up for another season of relegation battling.

Premature Decorkulation

If all the scores stay the same tonight (and I hope they do for Burnley's sake) then I wouldn't want to be an Everton fan on the last day. Away to Arsenal. It's not impossible Leeds could get something from Brentford.

We had a late flurry of attacking activity just before the full time whistle, and my friend who has no knowledge of football turned to me and said "why haven't been playing like this all game?" Exactly. We have it in us but we seem to be coached to be scared of the opposition. OK Liverpool's youth team could probably beat us right now but even so, the team they put out wasn't perfect and I thought we could have got something from the game. I know we're probably stuck with Ralph next season but please let him have some money to spend on quality. Our team is crap and stale and we are one bad window away from relegation.

I saw some bits of it on Reddit before the threads got deleted as the guy live streamed the attack on Twitch for a couple of minutes before Twitch pulled the account. They were not nice viewing. I know the UK gets the occasional attack but in the US it seems to be all the time - and in random places too.

Even Kelleher Gomez Matip Konate Robertson/Tsimikas Ox Keita Thiago Firmino Diaz Origi With Milner/Jones/Minamino/Elliot etc or whatever is still enough to beat us confidently. Although I suppose mentally it would give us a better chance.

So we're looking at potentially McCarthy (as number 1), Bazunu/Dragowski (as the young number 2) and Caballero as the cheap number 3. As long as we get the acquisition of the new GK right, it's a position we shouldn't have to worry about next season. Everton are also intersted in Bazunu. If that's also as a number 2, I'd say he'd be more likely to get game time with us than behind Pickford.

It's be very very sweet to get a point against them. Not that it'll happen but it'd be very very sweet. At least we can endeavour to keep the score down so GD doesn't play a part. (I think there's one outcome where that could happen...)

Cue a 6 point deduction for financial irregularities because we gave contracts to Long and Walcott. 😜

Ha MLG beat me to it.

Rumoured as £22 million but officially undisclosed. Transfermrkt has him as worth £14 and a half million. If they don't get promoted he may want out. £35 million was the amount they quoted Arsenal when they wanted him last year before they were relegated. They wouldn't get that now.

Surprise signing... 😜

I was reading about Operation London Bridge recently, and thinking that it probably isn't too far away. Effectively everything stops, people go home from work (I bet I won't, I work on the Tube) and we enter into a period of national mourning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_London_Bridge She'll be a loss when she goes. I'm a Windsor man since birth so I grew up in the 'shadow' of the castle - though I will avoid the town centre for days when she does die.

Well done James. Consistently good and we'd have been relegated without him. He won't win it but it's a great list to be on! Might help with his England chances too.

That first team is pretty much how i see it. Huge overhaul of quality needed. Some of your outs I'd keep as squad filler but ultimately that first XI is bang on. However without selling JWP I can't see us affording to do it. Ergo we'd need a second new first choice CM too. I think we're going to be disappointed come August.

I just read Newcastle are selling Jermaine Lascelles this summer. I'd have a punt on him as a bit of experience at CB. Decent player. Obviously Toon are aiming higher.
