Crystal Palace putting Manchester United to the sword.

[IUFG]

So we need to be at our best

or hope that the players really want EtH out...

[PSRB]

My concern is just United. They hate us. It is easier for them to accept City winning another title than us winning it as they can sit there and label City as a bunch of cheats. Us winning it is a nightmare for them.

However.... we are capable of winning there. We've shown we can handle these games this season (more now than earlier in the season) and it is hard to argue with the fact that they are a much better side than them. But on their day, when they want to be, they are a decent side.

The nightmare scenario is City drop points at Fulham and then we don't win at Old Trafford. But **** it! We are still in it and that is an achievement.

I'd have taken this situation at the start of the season.

My concern is, surely they can't be that bad twice in a row. That said, spurs have done it 4x in a row.

two managers that clearly don't give a flying fvck about the defensive side of the game. In EtH's case, the attack neither.

Cheeky bid for Marcus Rashford in the Summer?

Not for me, Clive. Poor attitude and believes his own hype.

Fair enough. Guess he'd cost too much for that.

Good Rashford- yes

Actual Rashford- wouldn't give you 50 quid for him. A guy like that wouldn't last 6 months with Arteta. 'Values'......

How about this Olise chap?

How about this Olise chap?

You'll have to do better than that, I'm afraid; Palace' players all look the same to me. Did he score last night? One goal or two?

If it's the fellow I think it might be then no. Have you not noticed we have no stupid hairstyles in the team? He would ruin everything!

Arteta would make sure we ended up with the good one. Or anyway, the acceptable one. Assuming he would even consider him.

Kai Havertz has bought the boss a large extra helping of benefit of the doubt concerning purported signings.
