weird I'm sure the bbc website said West Ham earlier in any case Missy Goodwin has scored we're now 4-0 up

Man City are playing West Ham

he needed to show some leadership Monday night and grab hold of Faes and stop him being so far up field he was leaving gaping holes that kept causing us issues

I wonder if any u21 midfielders have been promoted given our depth issues currently

Not true you can still give them an 8 year deal if you like but the amortization is limited to 5 years maximum

Replacement for a player we had no interest in playing isn't hard to find

its not just about amortisation of fees getting Praet's wages gone may have been the bigger benefit long term I'd need to look at what we were supposedly offered back then I know Torino weren't exactly being generous at the time either. No doubt there are other examples over recent years too

Palace bid £4m for Iversen in the summer we rejected it as we were demanding £6m, why? it left us stuck with a player that was never going to play depreciating in value for 4 months paying his wages and now all we could do was find a loan for him, how much did we have to pay him during that time, how much of his wages are we paying during his loan? Was it really worth it over £2m? I like that we play hardball over our stars but for players like this if the offer is reasonable take it.. How many offers for Praet have we rejected for a player we didn't want on a lot of money that we will lose for free this summer? Its just bad squad management and this all falls within Rudkin's remit, that's why people look at him

it would have been for serious foul play though not violent conduct

law of averages, how often when teams go ultra defensive does it actually work? he knows we can be lethal on the counter so 2 fast wingers with Cannon may have been all we needed to keep that attacking threat and lessen the defensive load

Palmer wouldn't have been sent off by VAR it doesn't get involved with second yellows we would have had a penalty but their CB would have been sent off VAR might have downgraded Fatawu's tackle but not sure

its called a forum, people discuss things and give their opinions, after nearly 5k posts I would have thought you'd know how they worked by now ...

Mavididi should have stayed on with McAteer replacing Casadei 441, then if Cannon was out of gas Sharky on with one of the wingers going up top, he'll have learned a lot today

haven't you heard, its scenes of the future Vardy movie, his last act in football is scoring the goal that seals the league win and lifting the trophy as captain

I like the look of Kasey Palmer, I think both him and O'Hare are out of contract in the summer so could be available cheap if Rudkin ever manages to sell someone

thought the commentators said both had been booked, they both hacked at him. EDIT: commentators were wrong, just checked Hamza wasn't booked at all

he was, he got booked for bringing the Japanese winger down then brought the full back down in a similar way

if you want to go down that line Hamza should have gone for a second yellow too so I'm inclined to be more generous over a potential second yellow

the one from our goal gives the clearest view I've seen on first viewing live I thought clear red so I'm not angry the ref did like others seem to be, his only clear error was their defender staying on for the penalty

the reverse angle casts doubt on that for me, he's always along the ground and its foot to foot, given a studs up knee high tackle wasn't deemed a red I think we'll chance our arm with an appeal

bad day for Enzo, learn from it and move on

Abdul's form has just dipped so a few games off might not be the worst thing for him that said I wonder if we'll appeal

no but it upgrades Thomas to a red so its 10 a side

Enzo has hardly used his bench of late he used to use all 5 now he barely makes 3 subs, maybe that was down to lack of options but we had them today

Enzo has been superb but he made a big mistake surrendering any attacking intent, I cannot remember the last time we played so defensively and it worked, going back years, we needed to keep a threat on the counter, Hamza coming on at wing back was odd too given we had Riccy in the back 3, 3 cbs on the bench and Sharky would have seemed a more obvious choice. That said it should have been 10 a side and we wouldn't have had to go ultra defensive
