Baird of the land

Honestly I find the whole us idea of sanctuary cities (which don’t co-operate) with federal immigration very odd to be honest.

Yep seems pretty clear to be that he has made sure he doesn't get hurt and affect his pay day elsewhere. Don't even particularly blame him as its not as if we are playing for anything other than slightly less embarassment.

I was hoping for someone with more of a track record of championship success to be honest like Cooper. His initial work in France is certainly interesting and they are clearly gambling on the potential long term benefit Let's hope he can hit the ground running and get the team performing at the top of the league, which will be the expectation.

KWP still out with the blue flu i see

Yep top three in championship are all experienced with success under their belts. Maybe being unconventional will work out but not sure I see the value in terms of risk vs reward.

Cleverly 'seen as one of the most promising english coaches', By who?, certainly not watford who sacked him for a highly mediocre league position.

I understood the approach last week against City but i have no clue why we have not tried to be slightly more positive today. An expected goals of 0, funny.

That doesn't seem the case at all. Lots of the 'on up ones' are actually not on the up, are in reality just young and bad There's a middle cohort who have experience but are still motivated and effective. Look at the top 5 places in the league this season (Farke, Parker, wilder, De Bris, Lampard are all between mid fourties and fifties)

yeah just 2/5.

Should have put more money on the everton win.

Can't say i'm thrilled by (if rumours bear any fruit) our desperation to go for as young a coach as possible.

Has onachu just been completely dropped? Does Rusk just prefer non scoring strikers KWP still has the blue flu too

Really a lot like last week’s game, except palace actually had some attacking threat.

Stupid by Mitchell but that’s a dive

Happy Henderson wasn’t sent off but that was a let’s not ruin the fa cup final decision.
