Palmer and Foden for me

Why are there question marks beside us and Arsenal? Is it because Arsenal's net spend since Toothy arrived is higher than ours?

Another great CL fairytale, Real Madrid about to win it for the 15th time. That definitely won't be reported by Miggsy Delooney

Agree, but no chance. It doesn't actually go on who has had the best year out of all the footballers in the world. You have to be of a certain profile.

I never really got bothered about Ballon D'or winners. When Messi won it last year I wasn't bothered, but all this talk that Bellingham should win it has pissed me off. Considering what Rodri or Haaland did last year and didn't win it, I don't get the clamour. There was no clamour for them to...

I actually wouldn't be that bothered if Foden didn't win the PFA award. I don't think there was a single outstanding candidate this year and 3 or 4 have had very good seasons and wouldn't begrudge any of them winning it.

Heard a clip of Simon Jordan saying Palmer deserves player of the year as Foden shone in a great team whereas Palmer shone in an average team. Here’s the thing. If we spend big money it’s seen as a given that we should then be winning everything, when Chelsea spend close to 1 billion in a year...

I don't mind Kane

I've no real interest in the rest of this tournament now. Watched the second half last night but wouldn't be too bothered if I hadn't. I sound like a Dippers fan a few months ago saying no-one is interested in City in the CL, but I genuinely don't now City are out. Hoping Bayern can win...

I think Jordan had the upper hand in that debate today sadly. Whether what he was saying was right or wrong, he shouted out enough for the haters to have more ammo to throw at us. Anyway, the main summary of today is that the cease and resist letters story seems to have been fake news

Yep, much better in a lot of departments than Doku, bar dribbling and acceleration I’d say. Most importantly - decision making. Palmer is 21 also, until tomorrow so that’s a pointless argument, as he too is also having his first proper season of playing in this league. Makes it more special...

Don’t know where the Palmer thread has gone and it hasn’t made that much of a difference to our season, but we should never have let him go in hindsight I’ve tried to deny it all season but let’s be honest He’s a class act and everything that Doku isn’t

Yet we never hear about - “big spending” Man United, Chelsea, Arsenal or Spurs Most references to us revolve around our spending Spurs not a kick in the arse off us.

Should have had a bet on that...

And if he had pace

Anyone else on for Bayern solely because of Bellingham? The lads a prick but no one can say a bad word about him

Is 70% of our turnover (to meet uefa’s FFP rules) and between 4 and 5 times the tv revenue of the 20th team in the PL, (to meet these new rules) not going to be roughly the same amount anyway? Around 550m?

Yes is my truthful answer. Up to the other teams to try and catch us though. We haven't been that great this year and are currently favourites to win the league. If we win it it'll be a bad sign for the other teams who failed to put us to the sword when we dropped points in 10 matches so far...

We'll just have to rely on the best academy in world football then
