    I've just had a browse at the odds and 17/1 for Palace to go down looks very tasty.

    They need, what, 4 wins from 18 remaining games? I think they'll be fine.

    You've also massively provoked Taz with that.

    A front line packed with BLM talent and not a "favela cunt" in sight. Gammon gammon gammon etc.


    In more serious news I see Anthony Gordon has cemented his rat like behaviour with now downing tools completely because he wants to go to Newcastle.

    Great to see our relegation rivals changing managers and bringing new signings in whilst we give Brendan Rodgers a cake and throw him a birthday party.

    I don't really know what he brings to anyone. I've never really noticed him on the pitch. His agent has been a busy cunt linking him with every team in the league though.

    I don't think he'll take it, if everything we know about him to this point holds up.

    I'm not one of these Leeds fans who thinks Marcelo owes us anything at all, we sacked the man, so he if wants it he should go for it. I don't begrudge him that. In fact, taking Fat Frank's job and excelling in it would be the ultimate continuation of his continued domination of that drip that's been ongoing since the "Spygate" nonsense. He will probably arrive at the interview with a five hundred slide PowerPoint presentation about how Lampard has been utilising the squad incorrectly.

    But it would be a difficult appointment at this stage in the season I think. He used to just ignore players we brought in during the January window for a month minimum because they weren't up to speed on his methods or meeting his fitness requirements. I'm just not sure how him rocking up at Goodison Park mid-week saying "right lads, we have a game in three days, but in the meantime let me introduce you to something I call murder ball" would really work in practice.

    The only way I could see that really working is if they fully commit that if they do go down he 100% will get the summer and next season, at which point they would obliterate the Championship and come back up a very different kind of team.

    But otherwise, they'll get Sean Dyche and stick it in the channels.

    Sadly they seem to be going for Dyche, which always felt like who they should have gone for instead of their dalliance with Lampard.

    Bielsa has indeed turned them down, according to the Mail.

    EDIT: What a legend:

    Bielsa is said to have wanted to bring eight backroom staff members with him to the club, and work with Everton's Under-21s and academy teams until the end of the season. At that point, he would step up and become the first-team manager.

    Everton, who are deep in a relegation battle, rejected this plan and the two parties walked away from the negotiations, leaving Dyche in the prime position to succeed Lampard.

    Well whoever it is got their bail extended to January. But it’s definitely him.

    It’s for the alleged rape from last summer. Third time the bail was extended.

    No shot they need Caicedo, Rice and Partey.

    Caicedo has put a post on Instagram which makes it sound like he’s leaving Brighton. No idea who to.

    Edit: it might just be a public transfer request actually. Reckon he’s off to Arsenal anyway.

    Chelsea will be back with an £80m bid shortly.

    10 year contract.

    Liverpool Twitter is going to go into meltdown if Arsenal have come out of nowhere, slapped £65m on the table and got their man inside a day.

    Especially when it's blindingly obvious how much a player like that is needed.

    Hard to imagine Brighton don't play hardball with a few years left on his contract and a real possibility of Europe next season. 4/1 for him to stay put is mental with four days left to get a deal done.

    £75m+ with enough of it upfront/in real money and he'll probably go. I thought more likely the summer, but maybe this changes that.

    MacAllister in the summer too so it's going to be a bit of a rebuild.

    Sounds like Weston McKennie is on his way in to Leeds from Juventus, loan with an option to buy. I can't say I know a whole lot about the lad but I feel like this is a good signing for us.

    We've nearly completed the "USMNT" midfield now too.

    Caicedo obviously has a fruity agent, Brighton will keep him I think.

    A lot of really badly advised players out there. Anthony Gordon is certainly one of them.

    I know an agent. Not a big time one but he has Championship players on his books.

    He’s an absolute wanker and talked some lad into leaving a club he was comfortable at and going to the other end of the country on a one year deal because he would make £10k off it.

    Now imagine that behaviour but with seven figures at stake.

    He looked a proper player in Germany but seems to have been shit in Italy.

    In the 90s the number 4 was usually the holding midfielder and 6 was the main centre back. Now people usually refer to a holding midfielder as the number 6.

    Traditionally 5 and 6 were the centre-halves, and 4 was... I dunno, but something which eventually evolved into one of the central midfielders in a 4-4-2. Halfback?
