Good, hope not Luton beating Bournemouth now -could they stay up ?

Villa have equalised now definitely in our interest for Arsenal to beat Brighton later

Villa 2- 0 up but the Ford have just scored 3 in 8 minutes (must be learning from Palmer)

If Palmer isn't already a household name, the onus is on the household to get with the times. We're looking at a man who could play a defining role in the next decade of English football and beyond. Not many 21 year olds brush aside Man Utd, but Palmer does what he likes. His hat-trick against the Red Devils on Thursday night once again saw him stray into the headlines. Who is this seemingly shy, matter-of-fact chap, and what are his origins? Players like this don't just spawn out of the ether. As a child, Palmer wasn't running around in a Chelsea shirt or a City one - that would've been sacrilege. No, for him, the only shirt he wanted was wreathed with red. A photo from his childhood shows Palmer in one of United's old AON-sponsored jerseys. His idol at that age was Wayne Rooney. He said: 'What a player. When I was growing up I used to watch all the football and the one that sticks in my mind is Rooney. 'Ever since I was a little kid he has been my footballing hero.' Something had to give when Palmer was scouted by Manchester City at the age of eight. Now he was behind enemy lines - but he still found a way to sneak in a tribute to his beloved club. As grandfather Sterry said: 'When he first joined City, he used to wear a United shirt or some sort of United garment under his sky-blue shirt. 'He was a United fan but City offered the better set-up, they had the better training facilities and were able to better nurture his talent. 'The fact that he did support United never held him back, though. When City played against them at junior level, he used to absolutely smash them. 'Ever since he was knee-high, he's been mad keen on football and he'd run rings around the other kids. We knew he was special even back then. 'But he's worked hard, trained hard and just kept at it. But what you've seen from him now, just watch...there's more to come!' Touching family videos show Palmer as a toddler bouncing and picking a ball round Wythenshawe's Hollyhedge Park as well as a couple of blistering goals taken during his schooldays. In an interview in 2022 Palmer told how his first memories were about football. He said of his daily trips to the park with his father: 'We would do that every single day whatever the weather - and my dad's family is from St Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean. He hates going out in the cold. But he'd do it for me anyway.' He also remembered his dad taking him to watch him play for his Sunday League team. He said: 'He used to sit me down on the bag of balls on the sidelines, wrapped in one of his rain jackets. I would just take it all in - the crunching tackles, the shouting, the arguing. 'Dad doesn't play anymore since he done his knee, and I don't really remember any specific games, but he'll tell you how good he was! 'He fixes dental equipment as his real job, but to listen to him you'd think he'd had a 20-year career in the Premier League!'

Putting Palarse in their place 1-4 We should look at signing that De Bruyne chap, seems quite good

Come on City ABL Anyone but Liverpool

Palace 1 up v Citeh

19 goals and 12 assists Already a better first season than Hazard

Ref was quite good letting it flow, however it's a mystery how Dalot could do 5 blatant fouls on Palmer,bring down Madueke in a 100% goalscoring position and not even get a yellow. Dalot must be the refs nephew or something...

Will go down as a Stamford Bridge great game. Amazing -still buzzing, Feel sorry for the cunts that left early to get the tube 😀

Bloody hell what an early chance for Sheffield Utd wasted

COYB !!!

Yes I think the decks being cleared was partly political as well, all ties with the Russian connections removed. The problem being there were experienced football brains removed by Clownlake.

Winless in the past 12 Premier League meetings against them (D7, L5). Our longest run without a league victory against them ever. Lets end this shit tonite. Yernited have won just one of their past nine Premier League away games against London sides, losing four of the past six. They have also had 81 shots across their three league fixtures in March: 27 versus Manchester City, 23 versus Everton and 31 versus Brentford. I know its not our ethos but.....Shoot on sight guys tonight

After 1-1 draw with west Ham Tottenham told they’re ‘not a big club’ and shouldn’t ‘act like they’ve won silverware’ by Chelsea legend Joe Cole, he's right by the way 😀

Like your optimism - but I think the problem runs a lot deeper than players and manager. They've stripped and outsourced, sacked a backroom network that was integral to our previous trophy blitz. As @Vesper mentioned above, we now have an ownership structure that will diversify in order to get profit from this business called football, and us as 'customers' as the CEO called us are secondary. Do you get emails from the club everyday, trying to get you to buy tat ? The PL and Championship are littered with billionaire owners that see success on the field secondary as long as they can make profit. I always cite an example that is Bristol City. A City that big should have a PL team. No two ways about it. Billionaire tax haven owner is happy to buy land round the ground to develop a 'sporting quarter', basketball, rugby, womens rugby, concerts, and happy for the team to fail in the championship every season. So many clubs like this. Everyday, I thank the previous owner here who just wanted football success above profit, and we were around when it happened. We'll go on supporting, of course we will. its what fans do -through the bad times, but I think we'll have the same mantra as so many other teams fans from now on.......... ''oh well, maybe next season''

Have you been before or was that your first time ?

Nah. Just means they think they are conning us by clearing the decks, the reality they are just removing a figurehead, and announcing it now they think will deflect any protests. Mugs
