London

As well as Joao Pedro for us vs Brighton. Every little helps.

27 shots… Hopefully a little psychological edge if they meet in the playoffs.

I'd say Chelsea have the toughest run in

I've stilll have a frustrating feeling that despite cries of poverty and clearly being at the PSR limit, clubs like these will still find a way to buy big in the summer. However, holding out hope that the longer the rot goes on, the harder it will be for them to turn this around.

If Gordon is a headless chook, wonder what the likely designation would have been for Barnes if Ibrahim was still around.

Teams in Europe come in at the 3rd round and cannot be drawn against each other. Good example is Arsenal's route to the semis: - 3rd Round - (H) Bolton - 4th Round (A) Preston - Quarters (H) Palace

Chelsea have signed another 2 young lads from Sporting for £62M......all sounds legit.

In their defence, Marsden Beach is a known cruising spot for sex-positive seagulls.

Dougie Freedman is leaving his role as Sporting Director at Palace at the end of the season. Apparently taking a role in Saudi. Interesting choice after turning us down.

I feel like I must be late to the game on this, but I didn't realise winning yesterday guarantees us Europa Conference League next season.

Hoping there’s no redemption storyline for Nunez.

We can only dream of living in an egalitarian eutopia like Sun'land. Breeds a higher standard of social conscience.

What's the general sentiment? Positive?

Fair point. Tougher games ahead in the quarters and semis.
