Post by: dave.woodhall on April 27, 2025, 12:43:03 AM: I'll do a match report when I've calmed down a bit. Probably some time around mid-November.

When we’re breaching UEFA rules on FFP and we’re getting done by Palace it’s an embarrassment.

Why did they want it more? Why did we play so slow? Why were they able to close us down do quickly and we could not do the same? Why did it take so long for Emery to change anything and why did the changes have very little effect? and why does it feel like we won't anything any time soon? ('winning' a place in the Champions League does not count).

It helps to balance the books which seems more important these days than actually winning a trophy.
