    FA Cup Final - Man City v Palace - Kick Off 4.30pm

    I was there as a neutral in a box and loved absolutely every minute of it. Palace played really well, threw their bodies on the line, and defended so well giving City few chances. It's one of the best atmosphere's I've heard and most of that was driven by the Palace fans who made a racket...

    Rethymno recommendations

    We went back in September 2023 - we stayed at Theartemis Palace which is away from the old town/nearer the main beach/hotel strip but still only 20/25 mins walk into the town along the promenade. https://www.theartemis.gr/ The main place I can remember eating is Taverna Knossos which is right...

    QPR and Millwall in for Dijksteel in the Summer

    If we want a RB upgrade for Anf then we should look no further than QPRs current right back Jimmy Dunne. Contract is up this summer. Decent going forward and better defensively than Anf. QPRs Fans and Players POTY. And only 27 which is peak point of a career for a defender.

    Coventry vs Portsmouth

    I agree, I think Bristol are the one to chase down from here. They have the harder fixtures (on paper), with only two of them at home where they've been so good, and two of their away games at Luton/Leeds look particularly difficult. Coventry's remaining fixtures look easier. I'd happily have...

    Perfect, sounds good. Do you just need one or do you want both?

    Working from home

    Its all about balance and usefulness of office time. If I was told to be in an office 5 days a week I would instantly look for another job as there's no need for that hard an fast rule in a modern world of Teams/Zoom. My company has recently went from 3 days in the office as guidance to a...

    Yet another reason for the UK to be a Republic

    £46m for a statue. Take the money from the royal family estate if they're that bothered. £46m for a statue

    Dieng

    Its an odd one. Defensively we've been pretty good (despite the hysterics from some). 9 goals conceded from 8.6 XG against and many of those goals being individual errors (Derby away, Portsmouth home, both goals yesterday) plus a Chris Rigg tap in at Sunderland. Conceded second least chances and...

    William Saliba red card.

    You can't be offside when an opposition player intentionally plays it backwards. See also Gerrard v France in Euro 2004.

    How is Burgzorg on the pitch before McGree, Jones or Forss.

    The League Cup run last year cost us any chance of top six. Injury to Lath/focus on the semi's when we had Rotherham and Sunderland at home with 4 points dropped. We're not going to win the thing, and promotion is more important to the club than reaching the latter stages but falling short, so...

    How bad are we? Are we even bad?

    We have been much better defensively this season than last year. We've conceded 9 and based on the underlying stats that's in line with what we'd expect to concede (~8.6). The reason it feels worse is because we've conceded 9 off just 19 shots on target (joint lowest with Leeds), and have only...

    That's all on Carrick, again

    The style and system of play is working which is shown by us having the most shots and the highest XG in the league by far. And defensively we've been more solid than in the previous two seasons. Its just our ability to finish off the chances which is letting us down. And that's down to players...
