[Penelope]

and miss @Penelope! well done fellow GOONERS! (and to Jeremy Corbyn - not Keir Starmer though)

And back in return to you all TOO! What a moment to be alive for.

 

[Soldi]

Slabhead and Foden OUT of the England squad.

 

[Jark]

Pep's goodbye officially confirmed. his words are very touching!

continues in the group in a Klopp esque ambassador role while Enzo Maresca is confirmed as the new City manager.

 

[funky]

Hull City PROMOTED despite finishing 10 points behind Millwall They only secured the playoffs on the last day of the season!

 

[Tisch]

Brighton losing. Spurs winning. Absolutely nothing going right chez moi at the moment

 

[Tisch]

HOWEVER Tig Jr is starting to want to see some matches and I guess Championship tickets will be CHEAPER

 

[rhythmbandit]

How convenient for Spurs to have tonnes of added time at the end and should Everton equalise they go down.

 

[Agneeta]

Palace finished a fairly poor 15th, but they are still in a European Final.

 

[Jark]

How convenient for Spurs to have tonnes of added time at the end and should Everton equalise they go down.

Everton needed to WIN, not just equalise, for Spurs to go down, right?

 

[Jark]

love a sunny final day of the season with nothing to play for and a stress free win. champions by 7 points.

a little sad for Pep to lose his last match. commiserations to West Ham. and fuck you Spurs.

 

[Soldi]

Just landed, POOR WEST HAM

 

[Soldi]

Sunderland in Europe!!

 

[Tisch]

Everton needed to WIN, not just equalise, for Spurs to go down, right?

Yes the only way Spurs would have gone down was for them to lose and West Ham to win. Alas, not to be

 

[Agneeta]

So Palace in the European final tonight. It appears I can watch it on Now TV.

 

[Agneeta]

I'm not shocked but the Spanish players are an aggro bunch.

 

[Tetris-Rock]

I’m backing your lot, Ag!

 

[Agneeta]

There's an incident

 

[Agneeta]

Feels like a tactic.

 

[Agneeta]

Quite a dull match really

 

[Jark]

well, it's Palace. rooting for them though!

 

[Agneeta]

Oh my days!

 

[Tetris-Rock]

‘mon big JP

 

[Agneeta]

Well this half has woken up.

 

[Agneeta]

OH MY FUCKING DAYS I'M IN TEARS!

 

[Agneeta]

 

[Jark]

Europa League next season! they really do need to spend this summer

 

[Agneeta]

I'll happily take 15th place for a European Trophy.

What a wild run!

 

[Agneeta]

Worth pointing out that Palace have a European trophy before Arsenal!

 

[funky]

CONGRATS PALACE. That's 2 for 2, out of the 3 European finals for English clubs... will Arsenal give England the treble?

 

[funky]

According to ChatGPT, it's only happened once before, with Italy in 1989-90. Although there was a 20 year gap of having three tournaments between 2000 and 2020.

 

[dmlaw]

Worth pointing out that Palace have a European trophy before Arsenal!

Did Arsenal not win the Cup Winners Cup back in the day? I feel like that counts.

 

[funky]

Yes they have. It's the Champions League that has eluded them.

 

[Soldi]

Slot SACKED

 

[Sardonicus]

Slot SACKED

Yeah it'd become obviously untenable when he'd clearly lost the faith of the dressing room.

Thanks for the league title & all but it became obvious that he'd just inherited & made a few tweaks to an already excellent Klopp team & this season just exposed his limitations.

 

[Sardonicus]

I just had the bemusing thought of PEP taking the job

 

[Jark]

did not expect that!

surely Iraola will be favourite?

 

[big ron]

Iraola is the obvious choice but some step up

 

[Tetris-Rock]

I have been fine all week and now I want to vomit

 

[Soldi]

I have been fine all week and now I want to vomit

How you feeling now?

 

[Tetris-Rock]

Still want to vom tbh
