And with Gareth Southgate in the stands as well.

Well we can enjoy 4th place for a couple of hours anyway. Palace are a shambles at the back.

Pretty sure Pulisic is still canceled but that was a great goal.

Haevertz looks like his confidence has finally gotten off the plane from Germany. His whole body language is different today.

I mean he seems to be about as canceled as everyone else that's been canceled, was called out on questionable behavior, made no response, suffered no consequences, and has resumed life as normal after being in the spotlight temporarily.




It is a damn fine goal though.

I was just looking through all of the players who's contracts expire this summer in the PL. Crystal Palace are going to lose the majority of their squad (some could sign new deals obviously but are getting up in age). They are really in need of a revamp as I believe them or it could be Burnley being the oldest squad in the league.

On top of Batshuayi and Mateta ending their loan spells at season end, they will see Benteke, van Aanholt, McCarthy, McArthur, Townsend, Hennessey, Sakho, Ward, Dann, Schlupp, Clyne, Cahill, Wickham, Martin Kelly and promising left back Tyrick Mitchell all leave on Bosmans.

That leaves Zaha, Eze, Guaita, Ayew, Milivojevic, Butland, Kouyate, Tomkins and Riedewald as squad regulars. They will be fighting relegation next year if the US owners/Steve Parish don't invest. They are not known for splashing out very often.

Roy Hodgson is also out of contract at the end of the season.

Saint Maximin the hero for Newcastle.


Just need Burnley to lose every game for eternity now.

I think he's in the group of players who were absolutely wrecked by COVID who would inevitably take a long time to regain fitness, therefore confidence, trusting their body, etc.
