Houdini

There's no ruthless team in the league this season, whenever a team slips up the team right behind or front of them rarely takes full advantage. This is the case not just at the top but also in the battle for top 4 and relegation. In terms of the top a ruthless team would be at least 10 points clear with all the draws and defeats that have happened. Even Aston Villa who have the longest winning streak at 8 games have messed up at the critical time to be much closer to top spot.

I was shocked when I looked at the table yesterday and saw Crystal Palace in 15th place because I remembered that they were 4th at one point in December. Next season could be a relegation battle for them the way things are going with their best players and the manager leaving/wanting to leave.

Insane goal from Patrick Dorgu!

Thank you to everyone who took part this week.

Morocco will recover well enough I think and will probably get 2nd place in their World Cup group. Diaz though will be having nightmares about this for the rest of his life, some people are saying that he missed on purpose but I don't think so. He was the one who hounded the referee to go to VAR in the first place. Speaking of the referee he had an absolute shocker in this match and was even smiling at one point during the penalty/walk-out chaos.

Senegal have done it! The 50 year wait for Morocco goes on. Craziest end to a match I can remember.

Certainly will be an interesting trophy ceremony if Senegal win now haha

What a goal by the way!

I was thinking that they might award the match to Morocco after doing that.

Senegal's goal was wrongly disallowed imo and Brahim Diaz went down softly so justice done in terms of missing the penalty.

Crazy ending to the AFCON final right now!

It was a great performance yesterday against Man City, completely dominated them from start to finish and could have won 6-0 if the offside goals and Amad's shot that hit the post went in our favour. It's a matter of performing like that consistently now.

Marc Guehi is leaving as well, going to Man City. There will probably be a big drop off for Crystal Palace next season!

Another nice draw for Man City. This time getting Salford/Swindon, Macclesfield will fancy their chances against Brentford.

Only 40 games for United this season! ☹️

Wow what a shock! No retention of the cup for Crystal Palace although they were very unlikely to win it again anyway.

It looks like the relegation places are pretty much sorted now after Forest beat West Ham tonight. West Ham are 7 points away from safety and Burnley are 9 points away and both of them have a much worse goal difference than Nottingham Forest. It would be mad if Nuno got sacked from West Ham, I can't think of a manager who got sacked from two different teams in the same season.
