    Yeah, I noticed they'd seemingly gone from 9 points clear with 2 games in hand, to worryingly close to their more illustrious neighbours in the blink of an eye.

    Alright, we're done. Decent performance but we're down to two fit strikers. We're all so knackered.

    Mbappe is 2-0 down to Monaco after 50 minutes. PSG are four points off top placed Lille as it stands.

    I’m seeing athletic long read articles about Everton’s win. Put the house on them losing 3-1 to Southampton next week.

    Buying Ronaldo tore that club to shreds. This is what happens when clubs think success lies away from what they’ve done to get to where they are.

    It was always going to end sometime. They have won about 10 league titles in a row, Chiellini is 48 and their midfield isnt all that great.

    Looking at the numbers, Inter and AC have both won Serie A 15 times and finished runner up 15.

    Only 2.06 xG from 25 shots is pretty garbage isn't it? I'm not terribly versed in these things, I spend all my time on strokes gained driving.

    I'm just saying they might need to be a bit more direct, Clive.

    They're the result of a team who are outperforming the sum of their parts so outrageously thanks to a genius coach. You can't play proper football like they do with bums like Dan Burn and expect to perform the same as City. But by God they're close.

    Genuinely not sure what xG is actually supposed to tell you individually. Who is this top level professional striker that has a ball fall onto his foot in space from 7 yards out that wouldn't score more than once in 5-6 attempts?

    Funnily enough trying to find the way the Benteke xG was worked out I found this


    Another win for the dweebs.

    Fucking hell I missed the follow-up where they say that 'when they're losing, they don't win alot'. Thanks lads.

    The most absurd 2-1 ever. Literally their only two attacks of any note result in the best goals their strikers will score for five years or something daft. Shame that the unbeaten run ends. At least we scored. Hoping Danny Welbz gets a run, Trossard is really good until he gets in the box.

    Hadn't he 'taken them as far as he can' two years ago, but it's Crystal Palace and anybody else would finish last?

    I don't think people realise what Crystal Palace is/are. You just have to go there to find out. They've been consistently overachieving for about 35 years.

    Their catchment area assures absolute success at Premier League football. That may change if vaccination rates don't pick up there.

    It's not great, but not really unusual in a game where a side dominates possession and spends a good chunk losing. Basically the opposite of what Spurs did a load of early this season where they would only score within the first 15 minutes or with counter attacks

    Their catchment area is a chicken cottage at the wrong end of the Holmesdale Road. Most of the Croydon Massiv (and it is by far the dominant talent production line in English football, as Wallsend or whatever once was) have gone straight to Chelsea/Arsenal.

    Don't Palace have about 20 first team squad members out of contract in June? Gagging to see what Roy Hodgson does with a blank slate in current year.

    Cracking three points for Leeds. We were poor in the first half but outstanding in the second. Raphinha really is a top drawer player, what a find he was. Spurs have done us with that new pitch though. It looks worse than the old one. Give us our 300 grand back, Levy.

    Mount out of the 2nd leg within 1 minute of the game. That could really harm Atletico.

    Alonso and Jorginho playing at this level is a crime
