Was fairly sure they were going to announce the renaming of a stand today. Weird that all he got was a book and a little statue IMO.

The man baby made sure to walk down the guard of honour to milk the applause for himself.

Could UFS not have delivered a more memorable and meaningful display? Corporate tat. Those hanging banners were laughably bad.

Vardy was asked to say something to the fans and he paused. Loud 'sack the board/we want Rudkin out' rang out around the ground while Vardy just grinned.

I think he can leave with his head held high. Clearly not up to a standard needed to keep this shambolic team competitive at this level but he's kept his dignity. Shame it didn't work for him here but we need to rip the bandage off with a total rebuild for next season. We can't be going into the season with people who have been so involved with this season's **** up. The issues at the club run far deeper than with him.

Grew into the game. Thought that he was poor in the first half but was a real threat in the 2nd.

Was Birch there today?

Played well today. Easy to get stuck in against a lad like Hutchinson whose legs are that thin they're probably see through but still. Developed a gob on him too. Not afraid to have a go at people around him.

I always thought i'd be bitter to see another non-sky 6 club win the FA Cup but I was chuffed for Palace yesterday. One end of Wembley full of families desperate to see their club win it, the other full of people who couldn't give two shits. While Liverpool fans weren't as bad as Man City were, it's quite refreshing to see two sets of loud and proud fans walk away from Wembley with the cups instead of Sky 6 fans.

Hindsight. There would have been outrage if we spent £7.5m on Akgun. A bloke that couldn't get a game for us in the Championship.

West Ham now have the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

That Tyrique George is the spitting image of Bukayo Saka.

Chelsea just casually knocking it around in the middle during a must win game looking completely toothless and completely vulnerable to the counter.

Jamie Redknapp really is as thick as ****. That screenshot clearly shows that Maguire's knee is offside yet he's whinging about Maguire's shoulder.

The best player of all time was painfully one footed.

****ing annoying when really the only reason we'll be selling him is because we're struggling to pay cumbersome centre halves in their 30s 80+ grand a week. A massive overhaul of the wage structure is so far overdue that it's not even funny. That said, if we get 25m+ for a youngster that has played about 10 games for us... it probably has to be seen as good business. (even though he has the potential to be worth much more in the future).

Pointless article. Only says Ruud would be interested in staying on, which we all know is true because he's not walking into a job even close to this in terms of stature or pay if he were to leave.

He's not been great over these two legs but I still really think we should go after Richard Kone. A proper pain in the arse to play against.

Sounds like the club are putting a flag on every seat.

The reason for the lack of a consistently good atmosphere in most English grounds is because of the way clubs push out vibrant local people with deep rooted love for their Club for wealthier tourists who couldn't give a **** outside of wanting 90 minutes worth of entertainment. It's not because English people don't want megaphones, drums and elaborate tifos.

Who cares?

England isn't Europe though. England has it's own rich fan culture that is dying out due to extremely high ticket pricing and the constant moving of fixtures for TV. It doesn't need to pretend it's something it's not to copy mainland Europe. Big debate about it all occurred when Villa played PSG recently. PSG fans were chanting throughout the game, all very organised and led by people with their back to the pitch to coordinate every chant. You could hear them constantly through the game and very clearly. Then the Villa fans were completely engaged during the match, roaring their team into every tackle, shot and near miss. Felt like their fans in the Holte End were sucking the ball into the net. For me, there's only one winner.

Yeah I agree 100%. But isn't that tweet talking about where tifos are printed?

I don't have any issues with tifos that are "bought" as such. So long as they show the message the fans want it to say and it's paid for by the fans. They're expensive though. Cheaper to make it yourself.

Is that tweet for or against the Sunderland tifo?
