I was deciding whether or not to mow the lawn a couple of weeks back. The usual "weather looks nice but I can't really be bothered/do it tomorrow" vibe. Decided in the end to just get it done as it was getting a little long. Rained for the next 4 days, so was delighted with my choice.

It's an odd one. We send someone on loan for a year and if he does well, we essentially have to pay £1m and increase his to get him back?

I don't know the history of every post that every poster has made, so because I'm generally fair minded I responded in good faith :shrug:

I would argue that, yes, they are key players. Maybe not on the pitch in the same way as they used to be, but they are unquestionably the vocal leaders in the dressing room. On relegation, I agree. I don't think it'll happen either but it's not that wild a prediction is my point

Although Kudus would have been an amazing signing, in fairness to Dwayne, we wouldn't have got him without a release clause it seems. A release clause that several clubs are looking to exploit after just one good season. Do we really want to sign a player that didn't want to be here in the first...

I mean, I know it's Richard Keys and he's a prehistoric tool of a man, but what did he actually say that's provably wrong? “Put Brighton down for relegation. What a strange appointment they’ve made - 31-year-old Fabian Hurzeler." - An opinion, sure, but for a top flight team to hire a coach...

I also think Enciso is super effective off the left flank, but anyone who can rotate in the front three will be valuable. Osman really excited me though, he looks like he could be a total monster given time. A front three made up of any three from Mitoma, March, Adingra, Osman, Enciso...

That would send the anti-woke brigade into an absolute frenzy. How would they square off their hatred of a snowflake lefty like Lineker with the fact that he's been removed to suit the "younger, diverse wOkE aGeNdA"?

This thread is a yearly reminder of three unavoidable truths: Everybody's taste is completely different and consensus is impossible; The only thins most agree on is that Adidas make by far and away the best kits and Nike's are generally toilet; The Albion are the last to release theirs and, at...

Even though it's Palace, I do think it's sad that after 3 months of genuine improvement and optimism, the moment they stop being total dross they potentially lose Eze and Olise, with Guehi highly thought of and Wharton only a good Euros away from being touted to every top club under the sun.

As much as I really rate Undav, €20m+ (for a soon-to-be-28-year-old striker with no sell on value to the buying club) is too good to turn down. He went there to force his way into the Euros squad and absolutely nailed that, whilst also going home, banging in the goals and qualifying for the...

I think Guehi is good enough personally. He's an excellent defender and as we know, there's always a thicko rich owner willing to pay anything. On point 2, of course he will. If Man United come in and offer £70m and £200k a week, there's no way he stays at Palace

I mean, the Tories just talk in such childish, incendiary language now don't they? "Declared war"? Really?

£9m-a-year (£6.25m now given the failure to make the CL) says he's unlikely to walk away. Also, Simeone is on £30m-a-year?! I checked about 10 different sites and that's apparently right... Insane numbers

Why? He's too young for that role, has only played 25 games since 2021 and struggles personally with the pressures of the game at the top flight. Good luck to him and with him well, but I don't think he's the "mentality monster" we're looking for... On Henderson, if he didn't come with masses...

Agree. If he was still PL-suitable then Leicester would likely have renewed (unless it's PSR-related and his wages are just too big a hit?)

3? Bloom has hired Poyet, Garcia, Hyypia, Hughton, Potter and RDZ in his tenure. 5/6 successes probably indicates a) that luck doesn't really play a part and b) that Bloom learns from his mistakes. Hyypia proves that nobody is infallible, but Hyypia also had David Burke, no money, neither of...

I'm glad you said this... "Sorry Graham, I know you're offering me a massive, massive pay rise to join you at the current European Champions but I said "once a seagull, always a seagull" two years ago and I'm afraid some fans took that a bit too literally. Turns out I can't ever leave"

I think it's really sad that a player who played over 200 times for us, captained us into the Premier League and was one of the finest players we've seen in the stripes is reduced to being called a snake by grown adults, simply because he took a better job. I've said it before and I'll say it...

Considering we hired De Zerbi from Shakhtar in the Ukranian League )which doesn't even feature on the top 30 list), does that mean we're upgrading?
