Optimistic Nut

I do like this, though.

It's for when their fans and Froggy bring out the injury card next week.

Thought 3 more wins would do it, 2 wins ago. Wasn't counting on Chelsea being so consistent in the run-in which is annoying. Two more needed to make sure.

We'll be playing our 3rd choice RB at CB against them so should be a level playing field for them anyway.

Pound for pound I didn't think any side could be worse than last season's Chelsea, but Man Utd giving them a run for their money.

Aye, even with their defence, their attack should be good enough to be causing Palace problems.

Jesus they're so poor. Not often the Man Utd away fans are this mute as well.

Other than CB, they should still have enough against anyone outside the top 6-7 clubs really. Bench weak as piss though, getting to our levels in December sort of weak.

I think if it was him, they'd name him. Click bait heaven that would have been.

Looks like Will Still is going there.

Sound appointment. Should have a bit more freedom in the transfer market than he had at Wolves.

17 U21 caps, games at League 1 level, almost a full season experience in the PL, all by 21. Closer to Jak Alnwick than Pope. Really? Seems closer to Pickford & Ramsdale.

I think they needed it massively, for their reputation more than anything. I just think they'll slip to regular 7-10th placed finishes for a while now. CL football might have given them one last shot at it.

If we sold Longstaff due to FFP, he'd be a decent 5th choice option.
