Couldn't have asked for more regarding the results tonight. Great for us.

Had jagielka Vs the shite vibes from that goal. He could hit that 100 times and 99 times he wouldn't even hit the target. Well done to him though, such an important goal but spurs were absolutely awful after we went down a man.

Doucoure.

Yeah I still can't get over Gueye deciding to have a shot in the first half instead of passing it to someone with feet.

The amount of contact doesn't really matter, enough to get a red. All on Doucoure that, absolutely unforgivable.

That's crazy, didn't expect that.

Fuck me when did everybody become so pedantic on this forum.

Of all the fucking times to do that. Unbelievable, was becoming a fan favourite and ruins it for absolutely fucking nothing. Shit like that you can understand Lampards point of view It's actually unbelievable.

As expected, Dyche seems to have found the players he trusts and is sticking to it.

As for the cost of new managers and staff, surly we've come to the point in time in the Premier League where this should be factored into the budget. The average tenure of a manager in 2012 was 4 years, now it's about 2 years which is absolutely bonkers. And I can't believe Potter was one of the highest paid managers in the world, surly not.

Whenever I've watched them play they've created a lot of chances but failed to score, but that's a small sample size as I've only watched maybe 5 of their games all season. Their xG at around 36 reflects this against the 29 they've scored. Interestingly enough the only team with a bigger xG deficit to us (+10.4) is WHU with +10.8. this indicates how much we need a couple of goalscorers in our team, not that it's not obvious already.

Apparently there's news of a takeover too. Something about sanctions against Russia and against the current owner Roman Abramovic himself?

That's potter gone too

Is DCL fit for this one do we know? I'm too lazy to find out for myself.

I stand corrected.

Yeah it's a strange one, we briefly dropped into a relegation spot today, and if we win tomorrow we go up to 12th. Unbelievably tight.

Wonder how close Dunc or Cahill got to 10 headed goals in a season.

West ham have 9 games in 27 days in April

Maybe William too?

We're getting into Only Fools territory here

The palace goal tonight stood with VAR. Very strange, because I didnt see much difference from the Grey goal ruled out

I think it's what we need too. No more managers coming in and spending money to play possession based football. If we can dominant teams physically, and keep creating changes through direct play, we can build possession into the philosophy in time. Easier said than done, but just don't lose games. Under Moyes we were great at that, it gave us identity and consistency, something we have lacked in a long time. I hope recruitment in the summer isn't fancy, but we bring in effective players who suit the system. All of a sudden, I don't feel as negative about the quality of the squad as I did under Lampard. we need reinforcements, no doubt, but maybe an overhaul isn't as necessary as I once thought.

He could make a good pairing with Dom when he's back, two big physical lads up top giving defenders plenty of battles. That being said, I wouldn't mind Gray up front next to Dom, I think they would compliment each other quite well.
