Not really convinced with Conte, same with Allegri, our board would never hire Simeone. Someone like Tuchel is probably our best bet depending on how he does in the next couple of seasons

Unai Emery might be a shout though

Emery would fit in well, he'll be able to handle all the #EmeryOut shite from the fans (Piers) considering the amount of grief he had been given from Valencia fans.

On the results, blimey nora - Leicester for the title might actually be happening. Still think top 4 is the limit, but they're indisputably in with a shout now.

Good to see a Newcastle win, although it helped that West Bromwich Albion came for a 0-0 and didn't change that ambition even after Mitrovic's goal. Also, what odds on Tiote getting another goal disallowed for an offside teammate blocking the keeper? Thank Christ it didn't end like it did against Man City 2 years back.
He's gotten an awful Palace side safe from relegation. They're closer to Man United and European football than the drop zone.

Pochettino and Ranieri are proving to be genuine world class managers this season, I'd argue the next crop this year would be Flores, Koeman, Pardew and Billic. - and maybe Eddie Howe.

He's a victim of massive overachievement this season. Palace player for player aren't exactly a million miles from Norwich or Villa, and Palace have spent relatively little, Bournemouth have spent twice as much, Watford three times as much.

I guess its easier for us to mock given Palace fans seemed adamant they wouldn't go on a repeat on some of the shit runs he managed at St. James' Park, and they're now on a similar run of 8 without a win. Pardew's also now the first PL era manager to lose five in a row with 3 different clubs, and they've sunk from top 6 to bottom half - sort of like what we did in 2013/14, only quicker and shitter. I'd say Palace are better than Norwich, but Villa isn't the worst comparison, although that's more a hallmark of how much Sherwood and Garde have ballsed up.

I think he'd be a good manager if he sorts out these recurring fallibilities.

Fucking Memphis.

Knew he'd fuck us as soon as he came on.

On balance a fair result, we were awful after we scored.

Remember when we bought Wijnaldum for half the price and everyone said Memphis was better because he was going to Man Utd.

I think everyone said it because he was better than Wijnaldum playing for the same team in the Netherlands last season.

Dunno, I feel a bit sorry for him in a way, its clear he was nowhere near ready for the step up and the fact we went in to the season with him as first choice was ridiculous.

On the other hand, he's a lazy bastard who gives the impression he thinks he's already the tits. He looks more concerned with how he looks than being a good footballer and his glimpses of ability are so few and far in-between it makes you wonder whether he's actually that good a player. I think he should get another season, at least, but he can have no complaints if he's sold in the summer.

It looks nice, slick and modern, but it looks more like a logo for an insurance company. Doesn't represent the PL well.

I liked it more before I saw this:




That makes it worse, make it just the lion, that font is not right for the Premier League image. [/graphicdesignerpov]

Presumably it will never actually be used because they'll get a new sponsor for the new season (they're only changing it to remove the Barclays themed branding) and they'll use one that fits in with that instead?

They've said they want to do something like the NFL, in that the Premier League brand is kept alone and they instead have a series of partner sponsors rather a title sponsor like Carling or Barclays have been. So no.

As an app logo it looks excellent but I think it only really works as an app logo. On the shirt sleeves, I agree the font looks shite. Its not as bad as the 2012 Olympics logo was though.

Cyan is 14, light blue is 15.

That difference of year or two, decided arbitrarily by politicians, is clearly what separates the vicious, morally repugnant child predators from the good, unquestionable citizens.

If you're not careful this'll devolve into a nuanced debate on the ethics and morality of consent.

Let's all just stick to calling Adam Johnson a nonce, it's far easier.
