Must not sit back and try and defend this! Will only get comfortable with 2 more.

Get in there Werner!!!!!!!

Fucking great save by Mendy!

Proper old fashioned, no nonsense defender.

Knowing Werner, if it wasn't offside he'd probably have hit the bar.

Try page 8. First link.

So careless Werner!

They look better than the first leg. Think we'll need to score 2 here.

With resoect, i don't think you're giving RLC enough credit for where he was when he went to Palace and the player he'd become by the time of that dreadful injury. A player who was clearly not good enough for us. Injury ravaged and going nowhere fast. Over those two years he went from that, to end up playing for England and looking comfortable at that level too. All down to bloody hard work and not giving up. Sadly, it looks for all the world now, that the injuries have finally beaten him. I saw him a while ago in a game and he simply wasn't bothered anymore, just walking round the pitch like he was in a daze. Ssd to see! I can't see any Prem club buying him. Not only that, the way he's going, it wouldn't surprise me at all if he ends up in division one in a year or two.

Oops! Forgot about James. Possibly because I rate him less than the others.

CHO hasn't really kicked on as much as I hoped he would this season, but I do hope we give him another season to see if can be the player we want and need. With Tammy probably leaving and maybe Tomori as well, it would be kind of sad to see Mount being the only one left of that group of youngsters who we had so much hope in for the future, not all that long ago.

I didnt see the game, but the players throwing their toys out the pram, sounds like the Spurs team the night of the so called battle of the bridge. Coincidence both teans were managed by Potch?

I am totally against targeting Woodward at his home, or any direct threats to anyone for that matter. There are better ways of getting the Glazers out than doing what they did on Sunday. Said it before, next season, fans have mass walkouts once the games have started. Could be a long, drawn out struggle and in the short term in would hurt the team and the fans longing to get back to watching their team. But I do think it would eventually make the Glazers sell up.

Come on, there is staggering levels of hypocrisy from many people on what's gone on! Before every game we have players bending the knee in support of an extremist anti western political movement. One who's supporters spent litterally months rioting, looting and burning down buildings causing billions of dollars of damage. And what did we see? Wide support from the Left on mainstream and social media and politicians. with the fecking vice president even raising bail money for rioters. But now we're supposed to condem those Utd fans for throwing a few fire crackers and skirmishes with the police. World is going crazy!

As we know, his career was blighted by injuries and a bad back. Just never got the good run of games he needed to develop. When he finally got some games under his belt at Palace, he gradually started to increase his match fitness and sharpness and was good enough to come back and be given another chance with us. A big step up for him to make it, but slowly and surely he started to make his way in the team. That form showed steady progress over two seasons, so it can hardly be called a purple patch. Sadly, we'll never know if he would have gone on to be a great player for us.

West Ham can easily drop points. Everton are better away and could take points off West Ham. Brighton play some really nice stuff. Just depends on whether or not they can put away their good chances they often create. Southampton can be difficult too. Just depends on wether its the shit Southampton that turns up.

Spurs are a worry because they have enough firepower to comfortably win those last four games. But, if they did that it would mean they won their last 6 on the bounce, which is some ask. Top four might easily go down to the last day with 5 teams still in with a chance.

Bigtime football is starting to eat itself. So much negativity about so much in and around the game now. Just because its been a huge sport for a 100 years doesn't mean it's popularity can't collapse. Its already done so in a once major country like Italy. As I've said elsewhere, the younger generation in America are turning away from sports in their droves and TV ratings have plummeted to dire levels. People running the game need to get a grip before spectators just say enough is enough and walk away.

True, but he started to get more game time in the second half of the season and as his fitness levels increased he gradually got better and better and in the last couple of months he was playing very well.

Chelsea played like Zombies after the protests before the Brighton game. Dont want Liverpool having any kind of advantage, so I hope the game is called off now.

Want to see Utd put the Dippers out of their misery by ending any chance they had of finishing top four.

In terms of quality, he was second only to Hazard during the second half of Sarri's season in charge. Fit and strong and finally showing the potential many fans and people in the game knew he had. Then that damn career ruining injury on a pitch that was not fit to play on.

Some of their fans want the club to be owned by the fans. Absolutely zero chance of that ever happening! Some fan representation on the boards of clubs might be a good move forward tho.

I wonder if the long balls is something TT has talked to our defenders about? One of the big criticisms of our play has been the excessive sideways passing between our defenders. Not only is it tedious to watch but its also not doing anything to help us create chances and score goals. Just gives the opposition plenty of time to get men back into defensive positions. Don't want us to become a longball team (sure we wont) but mixing up play is defo something we should do more of.

Mount and Kai might be the ones grabbing the headlines for the game and they were both top notch. But my man of the match goes to Mendy, who I thought had his best game so far. Started well at the club but then had a bit of a wobble for a while, to the point where some fans were even calling for Kepa to be recalled. So credit to Mendy for bouncing back the past few weeks.
