[FOOTBALL] Weekend Football Thread - 22nd/25th April 2016

Yeah I fancy a 0-0/1-1 with about 10% possession. The worry (lol) is that Spurs chuck it at Chelsea and we win it without playing. But tbh I don't really care, just get it done.

Winning the Premiership whilst not actually suffering "the game" itself, is something that dreams are made off. You lucky bastards, so jealous. Brilliant though.

Bollocks to that. Draw at Old Trafford and let Spurs beat Chelsea. I'll never see this again, I want it to be there when it happens. Either way though, the party at the ground is going to be fucking immense. If it goes to the last day now I'll cry.

'96 was the worst for me because, as soon as United pulled clear in their game, whatever we did meant nowt.

[Giggles]

Wasn't it Pulis who ultimately fucked up Liverpool's run in 2014, actually? MBEs have been given out for less.

Was he Palace manager that night? If he doesn't get the MBE, I'll give him a blowie for that one to make up for it.

[Boydy]

He was.

We weren't winning it anyway. Two key moments in the run-in - the Nasri equaliser against Sunderland, which meant we had to avoid defeat to Chelsea and the Steven "Stevie Gerrard" Gerrard slip which meant we didn't. The Palace game, whilst a nice WHAT DRAMA moment for the TV packages and subsequent reminiscences by teary-eyed commentators desperate to highlight the unpredictability of "the product", was irrelevant by that point.

You're welcome.

[igor_balis]

@igor_balis is a West Brom fan, isn't he? Probably (partly) explains why he's so weird.

Go fuck yourself.

[Boydy]

Go fuck yourself.

Demarai Gray was almost killed getting out of a helicopter the other day

Yup. It was the slip that meant City could take the title by winning out. Palace just made it easier.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Everyone remembers the slip, but no one remembers they were playing against our reserves due to a Mourinho tantrum

Yep, and the Nasri equaliser which meant we had to draw. If Sunderland had won 2-1, we could have chucked the Chelsea game and it wouldn't have mattered. We'd probably still have dropped points to either Palace or Newcastle anyway as a result of PRESSURE.
