Tonight’s Matches

[The Bristol Nest 612]

Btw, this would be a very poor Champs game.

[Robert N. LiM 6,442]

I've always liked Palace

[cambridgeshire canary 7,932]

And they got all excited beating Spurs, bless em.

 

It's December and they've not still won a single match at home and just lost to Palace at home no less a team they needed to beat to get out the bottom three.

On that showing both teams will be bottom 3, but a massive defeat for the Binners.

[Robert N. LiM 6,442]

Very encouraging that the binners are losing home games to the teams near them in the table. 

[Satriales 1,051]

🤣🤣🤣

[Drazen Muzinic 1,512]

I'm still hacked off Spurs lost to them and then went to Citeh and thrashed them.

I wanted no Binner wins until at least Christmas.

2025. 

[GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 2,073]

Pathetic insipid display from the scum in what was a 6 pointer.

If there are 3 worse sides than them, they will be 3 very poor sides indeed

Just looked at their next game vs Bournemouth, surely not fair it's on Sunday... They played tonight, Bournemouth play 8. 15 on Thursday night 🥴🤔

Thanks for explaining that Fen. I wonder if he is free to refuse to wear the sponsors logo?

Depends on his contract I suppose. I’d imagine shirt sponsors probably fall under rules regarding work uniforms though, whereas the armbands wouldn’t as they’re a Premier League initiative.

Shirt sponsors also don’t tend to be politically motivated though, whereas the armband is a Stonewall campaign which is why it’s more contentious

Everton v Wolves tomorrow. Whatever the result they’ll be 3 points from safety. 

[A Load of Squit 6,260]

Oh no, how awful.

They've Wolves away after that and some other tricky fixtures including Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle 

[duke63 758]

At current rate they will have won 2.5 games come May 😁

Just because we now have American owners we can't rule out the possibility of a draw. Either way though, lovely stuff.

A draw puts Everton on 12 points. Three points ahead?

[jhubs 41]

McKenna must be wishing he moved on when he had the chance now 

[Mr Tea 140]

I’ve just browsed TWTD  and  **** me backwards if some of them haven’t now realised that the £100m they spent isn’t enough in the Prem. 

Poor old Binners. 

[Graham Paddons Beard 2,886]

From the highlights sounded like a library. Those 20k extra people they found will be going back to whatever they were doing before . 

[stratton canary 164]

Real 1p5wich 🌟🌟🌟  such a shame 🤣

Thought I would see what you were on about, decided to get my jabs and check their forum. Another thread I saw is claming the only reason they lost was because Palace are in fact much better than they seem and are really secretly world class and are in a false position and will be finishing top five this season or something.. 🤣

Of course,  haha at the binners and hopefully upon relegation they liquidate the club and the only thing left is a tree growing out of that naff stand....

However....

It's also a bit of a concern that a newly promoted club goes up with one of the highest rated new managers in the English leagues with interest from big clubs in the EPL, spends over £100 million and still looks that far away from relegation threatened Palace.

I mean, it's funny now and I'm grinning typing it

But in the bigger picture.. 

[Kenny Foggo 1,205]

They thought they'd be top 10 the deluded fools... great to see the optimism seeping away.

Yeah but the McKenna hype was always massively premature. He out-spent the next highest seven-fold and didn't even win League One. Fair play he kept the momentum up last year and that was a great achievement, but they were still top-half spenders - it wasn't that much of an against-the-odds success story. He's basically had one good season so far. That's not to say he's bad, but the idea he was the next Pep was always ridiculously OTT.

The PL is such a huge jump and he's now up against the best managers in the world and it looks like he's struggling as much as his players. Last year he failed to beat West Brom, Leeds, Leicester and us. Four of the top six and he registered zero wins. Not the results of the second coming and an indicator of how he'd fare against the big boys it seems.

Indeed, from hoping they would lose him in the summer, you now have to hope he stays, as Leicester have proved and I suspect West Ham will soon a change of manager can easily change your fortunes.

To be fair their squad lacked any potential PL players last season (bar Hutchinson on loan) and even then a lot of them I wouldn't even class as top end champs players. In the summer they signed a lot of those players that they lacked, and did it from championship sides. Delap will definitely leave, Hutchinson likely will but the rest will end up sticking around.

I do think you can definitely question whether they got value for money, they made 11 signings from teams in this country. They'll probably make the money back on the 2 mentioned but they spent a good 20 million+ on wingers like Clarke, Szmodics and Ogbene. They're all older than Sainz who we got on a free. 

Their recruitment strategy is basically the complete opposite to ours, where we sign players from just about wherever they like to stay closer to home, maybe that's deliberate in that they don't want to put up with the time a player may take to bed in but that means you'll have to be willing to spend more.

They’re gonna have a heck of a championship team next year though.

With half their team sold and McKenna having left them?

The one that'll go is Leif Davis and that's basically 60% of their chances created out the door. Like when we lost Buendia. 

If he goes (and he definitely will) there's no guarantees about them bouncing straight back.

Palace also look a bottom 3 side, I thought they looked very poor and it shows how poor Ipswich were last night.

You look at how easily Palace beat us and you can see the extent of investment required should we get promoted. I'd be surprised if Guehi doesn't leave in January which will prove disastrous for them.

A long way to go and the Binners have another transfer window, but it's looking ominous for them.
